intensify off shore and cause some big time, inclement weather as we head in the day tomorrow but for right now we are looking live at ocean city on our sky can three cape may county note that is ocean starting to become more active getting a little bit more angry, and we are seeing light rain coming down at this point but things are really going to start to ramp up heading in to tonight and certainly through the day tomorrow. storm scan three showing us pockets of light rain over last hour, skirting along the coast getting a lull but seeing that light rain overtaking philadelphia, maryland rate rain toward lehigh valley, this is our system, center of which back toward midwest and will continue to barrel east and moving off shore pick up energy from the atlantic ocean and then it will stall out, retro grade or move, a little bit south through the day tomorrow into saturday and sunday, there are big time concerns with this system sitting off shore with coastal flooding, coastal flood warning in effect along jersey coastline and delaware beaches

5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning until 2:00 a.m. sunday because five high tides are going to be concerning starting this evening, around seven or 8:00 when we see high tides taking place and through the day saturday and saturday night as well, still could see flooding along the coast. we do have a flood watch in effect, this is what we do to flooding from rainfall philadelphia county parts of the south jersey, northwestern suburbs and up in the lehigh valley this extending through tonight, tomorrow, and into early saturday. we are going to be seeing the system moving on in, stalling off shore so that rain is commencing, right now pick up in intensity through tonight and through day tomorrow and weigh in as we start early saturday morning. damaging winds are a wide from spread threat and we will see power outages. do plan for that across the area snow threat as i was mentioning earlier in the show , still in question for some, we will likely see heavy snowfall up toward the poconos in and around the city, still a little bit up for grabs as

this forecast is still evolving as the system approaches. future weather showing us it is all rain tonight, period of heavy rain, likely we will see mainly rain for your friday morning commute, we could be sly slotted around that time but then see wrap around moisture from this system spring back in so we will see rain and potentially mixed with snow. some models indicating we could see period of all snow as opposed to a rain/snow mix in and around philadelphia, south jersey and for the shore if this does come to fruition, of course, we are going to see higher snowfall totals. it will be a quick hit where we could pick up a few inch west this heavier snow coming down if this period of snow pans out. as we head into friday evening this will all start to wind down and into early sat take morning precipitation comes to an end but we will still deal with elevated winds. snowfall maps right now what it looks like this could change but up toward poconos this is looking likely five to

10 inches of heavy snowfall, lehigh valley two to 4 inches and far northwestern suburbs. for right now philadelphia, south jersey, delaware, coat to go 2 inches but again that scenario plays out we could see two, three, 4 inches of snow fall in these areas and our models will indicate. that nam showing us potentially in atlantic city 5 s zero. thanks, in great agreement but stay tuned to to the forecast they should come into line as this system makes an approach but overnight tonight steady rain, some heavier at times down to 43 degrees. for the day tomorrow rain and that period of all snow as we head into the afternoon very windy conditions, high temperature only at 44 degrees north westerly wins, constant winds, 25 to 35 miles an hour with gusting to 60 miles an hour possible in the city and suburbs. that is why we have a high wind warning in effect through the day tomorrow and early saturday, could certainly see

some power outages, also potential for some down streetlights as well that could be a problem especially in the city as we head late day tomorrow strongest wins will arrive through tomorrow afternoon and into the edge hours and then things quiet down as we head into the upcoming weekend still windy but in the dangerously so on saturday, breezy sunday with sunshine breaking out and looking much better by monday. >> i'm telling you. >> we said that, right. still ahead on "eyewitness news" oscar preps are in full swing. >> we are learning more about the latest rocky movie what we know about the filming of the creed 2yo, adrian coming up
