the white shades and gray shades, we have 287, 684, it you can see long island and brooklyn and queens, nassau county, all that is starting to changeover. lots of moisture and this will last through eight time through the morning commutes. all of this is getting underway. this is developing between 6:00 a.m. and nine and 10:00 a.m., and then it starts to wind down into flurries at 11:00. the sun will come out later this afternoon and then temperatures getting into the low 40s tonight. we already have some accidents on the southern state parkway. >> one of the accidents has been cleared away. the accident by exit 17 is cleared away but here we have this accident being cleared away. we will head over to our maps.

4:14a.m., welcome back. we have a live look at the roadways right now. you can see the roads are starting to get a little bit slick. we are right there at that freeze or not freeze mark, 34 degrees, so definitely be careful. the temperatures are dropping and rain is making it slushy throughout the state. mallory hop is tracking the weather for us. >> you are looking at kind of a slushy mix and this just happened at the last half-hour or so. prior to that you were looking at a pretty steady rainfall which is what we experienced on our drive here this morning.

we are taking a closer look at the roadways were you to have potential for problems. if you look under the slight, you can kind of see what we are working with this morning. that slushy, snowy mix. if you look at the roadway, you can see where there could get to potentially be issues here. you can already make out just how thick the roads are. in the hours ahead, the problems could only get worse. the county has been in the process of ripping these roadways and as we know, the storm now coming on a friday morning, unlike the last storm which actually happened during the weekend where people were out of work and out of school. the issue this morning is you will have many folks waking up to the worst of it. so if you are driving this morning, you want to leave early, go slowly and use caution. bottom line, drivers this season have gotten out of

very careful this morning. >> wise words. thank you. >> bill evans joining us now with the exclusive accuweather forecast. >> we are trying to see our way across the park here. then as we see down towards fifth avenue right there and on towards wellman rink, lights are not on this morning. but we continue to see low visibility is. you can see the snow that is falling this morning, you can't make out one world trade, and the lights are on. temperature is 34 degrees, and we have northeast wind. one thing you notice when you go outside this morning is the wind is cranking out there. when gusts at 23 miles per hour. yesterdays high is 59 and that

and things like that. had we had temperatures that were very cold, our normal high is 40, yesterday it was 59, so we are looking at a pretty sunset coming up at 5:15 a.m. poughkeepsie is showing 39, and 40. it does snow at that temperature but it is a heavy, wet snow with northerly wind event is coming down here at six, or 12 or 14 miles per hour. so, we have some wind chills of 29 in the cordy, and 20 in monticello. it's cold and very damp, heavy, what snow. a winter weather advisory means

wet snow, and amax, and the warning means more than that. this is the long island expressway, and winter storm warning until 3:00 this afternoon, all the way to twin forks out there and out toward the hamptons. the rain to snow is right on time, and eastern and long island, still in the rain here in cell phone county. you will get to the snow and it will last longer. so you see the snow is falling all across route 80, and all the way down the line. so this is, as the holder keeps filtering in this morning, that will be changing over to snow everywhere. so far, we are calling this rainfall, it's the liquid equivalent so far.

and two tenths around toms river. here is our future casts, and guidance. the temperatures are still dropping. 33 in the park by 6:00, this is when it will be the heaviest, the snow come from dutchess county all the way southward. heavy snow 9:00, 10:00, then it starts taper off. so the hudson river lying to the city south and east will be the rule here until noon today. and it starts to taper off toward the east and long island. after school, the skies clear out. tomorrow, we start the day on saturday with temperatures in the 20's and 30's. snowfall accumulations, a coaching to 1 inch here in the west, one to three in the general area of the hudson river valley, and then you'd get just to the east of the city, just east of hudson river

here to six in coastal connecticut and out across long island. it could be some spots on the north shore where the elevation is higher that you will probably see some of those snow totals. sunshine is nice tomorrow. here is your accuweather seven- day forecast. you get another shot of they snowstorm on tuesday. for now, we have to get on that morning commute. >> bad weather usually means bad traffic will follow. >> and at this point, those earlier accidents on the southern state parkway have been cleared away but, if mass transit is your plan, i commend you. i know there were some issues last night, but at this point they are on the posted schedule. metro-north is fine and new jersey transit, no problems.

very systems are on a regular schedule, pass trains are doing okay, a services are running on or close to schedule. these accidents have been cleared away. we can take a look at the webcam and show you how things are moving on the southern state parkway. you see accidents off on the shoulders, street sweeping was suspended and metered rules are in effect. >> a north police to effective has been suspended following a news story about a teenager who claims he was attacked by police. the detective was suspended hours after our exclusive story aired. he says undercover officers broke his shoulder tuesday after mistaking him for a gang member. he also says that detective who has waited 24 hours to report the incident. other members of the unit are being reassigned and
