>> katie is back, quiet today, not quite tomorrow. >> exactly not. you know how they talk about that proverbial calm before the storm? >> waiting for you to stay. >> apply goodness, really is. even as early as the morning drive tomorrow, we will be in the thick of things, and basically, all day event, maybe with a brief break along the way. so we will get you through all of that, but just a lot of detail that tends to come. with storms like this, because snow, ice, rain, all three of those impacts are coming at us here. and it is cents an all day event, too.

so all of the commutes are impacted here. start going out to storm scan, best place to start when tracking active wirthment the storm hasn't completely organized itself, it is cents in the beginning phases you have streak of snow working it way through nebraska, kansas, more moisture starting to build and bubble up near the gulf, all of the these cents come together to form one large beautiful organized storm system, but then it, reaks some havoc on our commute. for tomorrow. so pre-emptively the national weather service posting winter storm watches, taking effect very early morning tomorrow morning in the pong knows and out to lancaster county is winter weather advisory, this may shift as the day goes on, but here is where it stands. and it is obviously the most outlying suburbs and count that's are impacted by the winter alerts that we've got. now, high pressure in place right now, even though we have the clouds overhead. but into tomorrow morning, wednesday, early morning, that we begin to see first signs of life on the local radar. warmfront followed by cold front. ironically the warmfront

bridges in the snow. because it is coming under the cover of darkness, so you will have this mixed bag here with rain-snow line slowly lifting north, then it does eventually turn over toward drenching range. as the cold front crosses through, so it is a wednesday event long and short of it, so here is 4:00 a.m., the beginning of the precipitation sarg to go nudge closer. it is really one that's typical morning rush is getting underway, so the time something terrible on this. that we really begin to see things break out. and it is a mix. it could be a light even moderate snowfall though for a time here in southeastern pa before that warmth lift in, and the temperature rises to allow the change-over to take place, but there is likely to be a break between front, this is sort of your warm sector of the storm, this break, between the front. but then, we see the rain come in, it will come through heavily. look at. that will that's intense rainfall right there. that's going to drench you right through the evening drive. there is 5:00 p.m. so afternoon, early evening, not looking pretty. now, things will eventually clear out, i think boo the
