brine on roads. here is a look at the radar as that system you see out west approaches. the first alert weather team has you covered. we begin with chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. when will it start? >> in parts of the area it will take a few hours, probably not until at least 8:00. and then it's going to be light and then the temperatures are going to be above freezing so initially it will melt. but the first alert goes from tonight into wednesday morning. this is an extended period of time, it's not going to be snowing constantly, there will be periods of snow. and at times low visibility. not all the time. the heaviest we think it's going to be late tuesday and into tuesday night. with the greatest chance of accumulation. and more very significant coastal flooding is likely. we have winter storm warning for the philadelphia aerks down through central delaware, the

entire southern half of new jersey. nothing on the radar close by, but it's starting to make a little progress from the washington baltimore areas and some of that is not reaching the ground. that's the leading edge of the moisture and there is plenty of moisture. the thing is this is very large, it's disorganized. and that may limit the amount of snow that we eventually get. that doesn't look like it's going to come together into one giant storm. so, the latest computer models show us just above the freezing mark for much of the night in philadelphia. the snow could start before 11:00 p.m. butác it certainly looks likely toward the middle of the night and for the morning rush. more on the snow totals coming up. and also, the seven-day forecast. right now we go back to jim. >> the city of philadelphia is ready for this storm, ready but running out of money already to handle all of the snow. lauren mayk is joining us live from norristown where she spoke

with penndot how it plans to deal with the roads. >> reporter: bringing you up to date. they started actually the preparations this morning putting that salty liquid, that brine on the highways. let me show you what they are doing over the past hour. you can see all of that salt there, we have been seeing trucks coming in here and scooping up loads of that and heading out. they should have enough, they have about 100,000 tons of that salt. they only used about 27,000 tons during the blizzard so they should have quite a bit of that to use. and then tonight, plow trucks are going to head out, staged around the region ready for when that snow starts to come down. this is what the blizzard of 2016 left in south philadelphia two weeks ago. >> what did it look like? >> bad. bad. i don't know how long it took to get out the street. >> reporter: now this neighborhood could be in for another dose, this time much

smaller. >> i don't want the snow up to here. that means a lot of work. >> reporter: across the region salt and brining operations are under way, for a weather event that this time will land in the middle of the week. in philadelphia, last month's blizzard was costly, the city has already spent its snow budget for the year. i asked the mayor about that today. >> how does that affect things for snow going forward? >> you have to get it up. you know you can't i mean, another administration of $5 million we spent 3 or so over that. there is no choice. you can't just let it melt away. people have to getmt(i to school and work. things need to get back to normal. >> reporter: basically you do what you have to do and deal with the finances later. now, one thing to keep in mind if you live in the city of philadelphia, trash collection for tuesday, that has been canceled. that will wait until next week. i also checked in with philadelphia schools, no decision on whether there will be delays or closures yet.

that could come early in the morning. for now live in norristown, lauren mayk, "nbc 10 news." >> if the schools decide to open late or later in the week because of snow, find out right away with the nbc 10 app. you can also sign up for text alerts so you know once we know. it's been a winter to forget for people at the jersey shore. more flooding again today. high tide this morning left water every where. crews traveled up and down to see the water damage. ted greenberg joining us live from west wildwood. how is it looking? >> reporter: well, jim, we're now a couple of hours from this evening's high tide which is expected to cause more flooding on top of what we saw this morning. but the biggest worries are about how high the water will get tomorrow morning. when water spilled out of the bay this morning in west

wildwood, debris and belongings ruined by last month's nor'easter started floating downstream. >> we're still not finished from the last storm. i have more stuff to come out. >> the concern is tomorrow. >> because the morning high tide is expected to bring the possibility of major coastal flooding to some parts of the jersey shore, more severe than today's high water and the already battered community concrete blocks serve as a temporary barrier where a protective wall was washed away in the january 23rd storm. >> that should help some. we never expected to have a storm so quickly. >> reporter: in long beach township flooding fears are coupled with major concerns about beach erosion, after last month's nor'easter washed away protective dunes and left towns in peril, crews used 1,000 truck loads of sand to build a temporary berm. then wind driven waves this morning took their toll. >> it eliminate add good

one-third of the dune that we pushed up. >> reporter: more sand is set to be trucked in tomorrow so crews can make emergency repairs yet again. >> we have one tide left in us if we have two more tides we're going to have a problem. >> seems like every time we get a bad nor'easter the whole end down here gets pretty beat up. >> reporter: back in west wildwood, a permanent steel wall is expected to be installed along the bay this weekend to replace the one that was destroyed. certainly that will be a relief to people here, but first, they have to get through this latest flood threat. live in west wildwood, ted greenberg, "nbc 10 news." >> people in atlantic city can park cars for free to avoid the flooding and the snow, minutes ago the wave parking garage opened for local residents and guests until wednesday at noon because of the approaching storm. and the jersey shore not alone, coastal flooding is a concern in delaware as well. look at this driver in odessa

and of course a little snow isn't going to bother people in that state from getting out there to vote. if it was snowing in florida it would be a different story. the wind not very strong here. a different kind of storm. a first alert from tonight into wednesday morning, it's going to extend the period, periods of snow with low visibility at times. it's not going to be all like this. the heaviest of the snow late tomorrow, tomorrow night. tomorrow afternoon's rush hour is probably going to be more difficult than the morning rush. and we have more coastal flooding. unfortunately some moderate flooding at least coming tomorrow. 39 degrees right now. the wind is out of the east at 10 miles an hour. and the temperatures are in the upper 30s for the most part. well above the freezing mark, lows on the warmer side. that snow would have to be coming down pretty hard or the

temperature's got to drop significantly for the snow to stick on the main roads. the live radar, nothing much to show but outside of radar range we're seeing a build-up especially in virginia there, some snow in pennsylvania, on the lighter side. this is a huge system. i want to show you the last six hours you can see the spin of the whole thing. but the bigger it is the harder it is to get organized. and that is going to be the issue here. we're going to get little pieces of that system coming through. the winter storm warning from philadelphia area down to central delaware and all of south jersey, the coastal flood warning till noon tomorrow, the high tide, 7 to 8 tonight, and a higher tide tomorrow morning. 7:30, 8:30, later a it the back bays where we expect moderate to perhaps major coastal flooding at least in some spots. 8 to midnight the light snow starts, and melts. then midnight to 4:00 a.m. it's

mostly light and mostly melts. maybe north and west some spots untreated surfaces will get increasingly slippery as we get to the morning rush. but it's just, again, kind of scattered around and probably not in the big cities where all of the concrete is. during the daytime hours tomorrow mainly melts as well, the sun's rays a little stronger this time of the year. manage to get through those clouds. despite the thick cloud cover. so we expect 4 to 6 inches from parts of chester county, and into new castle county. 1 to 3, the southern portion of delaware, extreme southern new jersey, 2 to 4 inches across much of the philadelphia area, and montgomery and bucks couldn't and mercer county and camden and gloucester counties, delaware county. but there is 4 to 6. chester and new castle county you may end up winding the snow total battle by the time it's over. and it's going to take a while. the snow develops mainly after

midnight. 30 degrees in philadelphia, 26 north and west. during the day tomorrow we have periods of snow, most of it melting. most of the area. high temperatures in the upper 30s, then it just gradually gets colder. not that cold wednesday but colder thursday, even colder friday. and look how cold it gets over the weekend. valentine's day is brutal. with lows in the single digits, wind chills below zero. >> thaufrpgs, i'm john clark, how much do the eagles save. villanova, the number one team in the country. that is next.

here is a look at the time table here, the late snow starting this evening. it starts off melting but then eventually the temperature goes down and after hours of darkness for the morning rush there could be slick spots and untreated surfaces especially in some of the suburbs, but the afternoon

rush tomorrow should be more difficult. >> download the nbc 10 app for updates. tonight, breaking point. bill clinton on the attack unloading on bernie sanders again as the campaign erupts hours from the first votes here in new hampshire. crunch time. can donald trump turn big poll numbers into a big win? and can marco rubio bounce back from that debate debacle? we go one-on-one. nightmare at sea. panic as a cruise ship gets caught in a ferocious storm and slammed by 30-foot waves and water rushing in and thousands ordered to their cabin. bomb handoff. shocking video of the moment a suspected suicide bomber is handed what authorities believe is a laptop packed with explosives before blowing himself up on board. and heartburn drug warning. millions take them, and now doctors are soundin
