well, serious situation down the shore this noon a nor'easter is slamming the coast battering the beach and whipping up waves, flooding, is a real concern. and, the storm is also powerful broken umbrellas in match for wins gusting up to 60 miles an hour in spots. to the north and west, snow is a major concern piling up fast in the poconos some areas could get as much as a foot of snow. and, this is the nor'easter that is causing all of this trouble, swirling storm that is covering much of the northeast and the war may

be yet to come. numerous watches and warnings are in effect right now, good afternoon i'm rahel solomon. i'm jim donovan. we have live team three coverage. first latest on the storm with meteorologist katie fehlinger. >> so many moving piece was this storm system. we have to go all around the region to give awe sense what will take place here because it is very much location location, location and when it comes to what you are going to end up with in your neighborhood. lets go back out to that wide zoom on storm scan three storm system continues to churn, what a mess in new england here heavy snow pounding down threw up state new york and now locally, across about the north half of our region. it is coming down moderately too in burlington, ocean county as well, generally speaking i have seen rainfall totals so far about a i to just under two but clearly the snow is taking over now, and that is absolutely going to over spread the rest of the region as day goes on with the wind gusts take a look, pretty potent now

we're in the high wind warning and 49 miles gusts being reported at philly international, that will grab some flights. 54 miles an hour in dover. that is peak we are finding of this slew of observations but i have seen them as high as 50 in wilmington, this morning. another look at high wind warning. we are in it. it goes into effect until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow, so you are talking about an incredibly long lived system here, and wind event that will easily bring down trees tree limbs power lines and we have already had a handful of reports of that in places. now, these are your actual temperatures. notice they are dropping off so that is why transition hasn't completely taken place for us just yet we are in the 30's just right now from philly to trenton, 34 in allentown and again snow has begun to pick up in a lot of these spots.nto the p.m. rush, a lot of things to watch out for. you need to watch out for debris already in the roads or flying in the road. visibility is going to be greatly reduced from whipping precipitation as well as

again, the precipitation just coming down, ponding slick travel from rain and or snow, and dangerous win gust that is go along with this. if you are traveling in a high profile vehiclal cross the bridge you can feel your car joseling. so in a lot of things, playere and i will break down much more of the region a little later in the >> thanks, katie. wins as katie mentioned are packing a punch down the shore and flooding is a major concern. >> team coverage continues with cleve bryan live on the boardwalk in atlantic city. and, cleve, good after noon. >> good afternoon not too bad honest, the wind is coming out of the west/ southwest, so that is when you look at the ocean it is pretty calm looking because the wind at the moment is blowing out toward the ocean, and it is causing those waves to just slowly lap in, about three to 4-foot waves at the moment. right now we are seeing close to low tide, it is just before 2:00 p.m., high tied was 7:30 this morning.

it ways more issue with the flooding and rains and the wind and back bays, right new we are getting a strong gust actually as we speak try to held our camera today and hold mythis is a gusty end and it will be a tide driven event as far as flooding. so back on the bay side, of the atlantic city and all a lock barrier island they depend on those storm drains to dump water out in the bay but when you have wind for long period of time backup and the streets just can't drain the way they are supposed to. we are getting a gust it is right now where and brace yourself. you have to watch out whe are coming down during tide cycles. tonight high tide is around 8:00 tomorrow morning is supposed to be one of the highest tides and more dangerous times as far as road s are concerned and the flooding so do not drive through any standing water and, look those alerts , atlantic city puts alert on social media letting you know which roads are closed. i check with the police department a little while ago

they said they didn't have any rescues in cars or homes because of flooding this morning. that is good thing this is a very typical nor'easter sort of weather pattern. we will have flooding with this with the tide cycles, when the rain coming down with the wind it will be a problem and, of course, beach so we will continue to monitor this throughout the afternoon and when you come home, from work if you live at the barrier islands make sure you park your car somewhere that is high up, all of those streets that are flood prone will likely flood and in atlantic city, i know they have waves by the outlets that would be free. we will continue to look around for some of the signs of erosion and this is just kind of in the middle of it. winds are expected to build according to the national weather service. live report from atlantic city , cleve bryan for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". if you have to be outside anywhere bring a rain coat and very sturdy umbrella. david spunt is seeing umbrellas and could not stand up to the elements, he is live

delaware river port authority bridges right now. so those tractor trailers aren't waited down enough, well, they will just fly over, turn over, very easily with winds like we are dealing with right now. my husband was out driving this morning he saw a tractor trailer all of the right side wheels lifted up off the ground and he was very concerned when he saw. that thank goodness that truck driver was just fine but this is something we are keeping a very close eye on and planning to make our way across the bridge as we deal with these extremely strong winds keeping an eye on things here in the mobile weather watcher i'll send it back inside to you guys. >> thanks, chelsea. we will be with you through the storm watch for hourly weather updates throughout the day on cbs-3 and on our web site at cbs philly.com. still to come this noodid you get an invitation? coming up prince harry and megan markle are making plans for their spring royal wedding including who they will invite and it is a very big guest list. >> we will continue to watch

causthere, with the wind speed.kn i wouldn't call this glancing blow from this storm whatsoever but we are not getting hit as hard as new england, man. this is a huge, monster crippling system, for that area for us, okay, we will to have deal with rain, and some snow out of it, certainly the wind issue that to me is biggest concern but we are not getting hit that hard. sharp cut off for snow goes to the poconos. you want it to see that heavier snow. lets get you through future weather. i live this pretty much but notice a back edge here. there will be breaks and cut off here with the precipitation through the afternoon but because of the colder air is working its way in we're seeing that change over between rain over to snow a mixture of the two or one or the other but now that cold air is tracking in, mainly with snow for day. it may have a tough time sticking down near the shore but you are very likely to see a few flakes as well. six or 7:00 wind is still whipping but back edge of this is starting to make its exit so come 9:00 o'clock there

could be a break in the cloud cover. it will be very breezy but by this point the precipitation is starting to pull away. only a few more hours of the war of the precipitation meantime though we have had an inch upward of two, of rain coming down locally higher amounts, since i last checked the public information statement from the weather service, but a flood advisory underway as a result of the rain that has already fallen in effect through fallen streams and creeks flowing out of the banks and these counties shaded in the grain. we have a flood watch that lasts at lee until late tonight for much of that same zone. here are your sustained wind speed, so yeah we will have higher gusts up to 50, 60 miles an hour. these are sustained wind walking out the door and stuck w we don't get gusts per se stuck with the solid 29, 30 miles an hour breeze if not stronger, down to delaware right now again that wind is a big issue with gusts as high as 60 and a multi hour of an event of that kind of win. that is why we're so worried about wires coming down and leading to power outages along with already reports of
