season that this is that unusual. as a matter of fact, march 20, 1958 was one of the biggest snowstorms in parts of our area's history. so it has happened before. don't just scoff at the idea of snow, just because it's warm out right now. it is looking pretty nice at least in parts of the area. that's boathouse row. there have been showers around. visibility generally pretty good. and it will stay pretty good as we go through the night. we're tracking showers, over the next few hours, we do have much colder air coming in over the weekend. and of course, the snow on sunday that looks like it's going to be significant enough to be called a snowstorm. at least for a good bit of the area. we have mostly cloudy skies right now. it's 55 degrees, the philadelphia international airport reporting a shower right now. and the wind is calm. two hours ago we had a gust of 39 miles per hour. pretty weird day here, the

visibility is good though. temperatures generally in the 50s but it's 60 in bensalem, 62 in trenton. we've gotten up to 63 in philadelphia already. 60 in wilmington. look at 66 in millville, atlantic city, 67 degrees in dover. and here we are talking about snow in three days. well, it's a lot colder than it was 24 hours ago, at least in a good portion of the area. and that trend is going to be felt over the weekend. tomorrow not that cold but saturday a high of 47, sunday, lowered the high to 37 degrees. you can see these showers racing from west to east. we don't see the fellows and reads in there indicating the thunderstorms so at least so far we have not seen thunderstorms develop a moderate shower moving into central bucks county. you can see many more showers back to the west. it's all fueled by the instability related to the

heating of temperatures getting into the 60s. so as soon as the sun goes down these showers should be falling apart. you can see that on futurecast through the night tonight. another night it's not very chilly out there. and by tomorrow morning we're in the 40s. not bad at all. going to be windy tomorrow. and there could be a couple of showers developing during the afternoon. temperatures get in the 60s. then the 20s and 30s start returning over the weekend. and we see a nor'easter developing. there is no doubt about that that it's going to develop. it looks like it's going to be close enough for precipitation. we just have some of these details remain to be seen. of course, partly related to the temperature. it looks like accumulating snow in this area of blue likely from late sunday and sunday night, the darker blue indicating potential for heavier snow, and up in new england, really going to get smashed with this thing. this is a fairly significant

thing here. now, the chance of four inches or more. a little too early to talk about specific amounts for specific areas. i want to give you an idea of the chances of -- that's a pretty significant snowstorm. four inches or more. low, then in south jersey maybe too warm, may be too much rain. medium chance across much of delaware and south jersey and philadelphia, the only reason for that is because there may be some melting going on and a little bit of rain during the daytime hours. plenty of precipitation. and the chance is high, north and west, a high chance of at least four inches of snow. now, the other concerns possible, coastal flooding. the weight of the snow could affect trees and power lines and the worst looks like it's going to be after dark on sunday. so, tonight partly cloudy, 48 degrees for the low.

and during the day tomorrow, a chance of a shower, seven-day forecast saturday it's colder, there's that winter storm on sunday. snow north and west. windy and cold on monday, and then look how it warms up by the middle of next week. good-bye snow. >> listen up. a recall could impact a canned item. >> we'll tell you about the new trouble involving tuna. plus, a car crashes into a pizza shop while a couple is dining at the counter. we'll show you the moment of impact from inside. >>. >> preserving one of philly's infamous pieces of history. new developments in the push to put betsy ross and a murdered mobster unthe same category. >> and taking a stand for his family. the professional athlete walking away from the game and his multi-million-dollar salary, following a dispute over how much time he spends with his son. >> first, it was another

>> glenn "hurricane" schwartz is back now tracking both the rain and the snow. hard to believe today when we've got temperatures in the 50s, glenn. >> yeah, we've had temperatures, remember, in the 80s last week, we've gotten into the 70s this week and yeah, we're talking about snow over the weekend. kind of ominous skies now of it we have some rain showers around, certainly no threat of snow in the next 24 hours but as we head to sunday there is going to be a nor'easter developing along the east coast, it's going to be pushing in plenty of moisture, should be cold enough for snow for at least a good bit of the storm. and that means a pretty good chance of accumulation as we go into sunday night. so, the headlines with that storm, i expect it to mix with rain during the daytime hours especially in philadelphia and points south and east, delaware and south jersey. that limits the snow accumulation somewhat, but there's still uncertainty related to how much of that is

going to be rain. it looks like it's going to be all snow north and west that could cause some to pile up with a significant accumulation likely by the time it's all over. you can see on the radar, fast moving, generally smaller shower, one heavier one going through central bucks county now of it you've got some pretty strong wind gusts because they are moving so fast themselves. as we go through the next several hours, we do expect those showers to be moving out and the temperature not all that chilly. the wind will be diminishing, and again, hard to believe that we're talking about snow with temperatures like that at night. but we are, more on the timing of that with the rest of the seven-day in a few minutes. remember, you can download the nbc 10 app right now so you can track the showers in our area. and then stay update on the weekend snow forecast. here's a check of some of the stories making headlines at 4:00.

comcast sportsnet john clark for coverage of tomorrow's action. it's a pretty big weather change going on the next few days, it has been mild, it's been wet at times. we are continuing to track showers. and then the colder air is going to start coming in by tomorrow night, and then over the weekend you're going to notice that. and by sunday it's cold enough for snow. we've got ominous looking clouds out therend a showers, it's 55 and raining at the top of the hour at philly international. the wind calm, 16 degrees colder than this time yesterday. tomorrow it's still going to be on the mild side. 62 degrees, windy. then on saturday, high of only 47. sunday, high of only 37 because we may get a whole day's worth

of snow with a little bit of rain mixed in in parts of the area. it's 60 degrees in northeast philly and wilmington. 62 in trenton right now. and look at this. 46 in quakertown, 47 in doylestown. we've got some big temperature contrasts across the area or what. it's 59 in allentown. it was raining in quakertown, that's why the temperature got knocked down. it's 67 degrees in dover, 64 in woodbine, new jersey. you can see these showers racing from west to east, the heaviest one right in the middle of bucks county, just went past warrington and there is a severe thunderstorm warning for another few minutes for a good portion of bucks county. briefly gusty winds with this right now. as you can see generally lighter showers elsewhere across the area. and there's more back to the west. so it's fairly wet pattern. and as we go through the next few hours we're going to see

those showers disappear. this is then going to appear as we head toward the weekend. a coastal storm, a nor'easter, close enough to provide precipitation in these blue colors, those are indicating snow amounts in general. so accumulation of snow is likely, sunday and into sunday night. and as far as the timing is concerned, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., the snow starts, looks like it will be melting at the beginning, 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m., a mix of snow and rain, south, but snow north and west. then it accumulates the most after 6:00 as it gets dark. showers and thunderstorms early, then clearing, 44 degrees for the low tonight. then tomorrow a mix of sun and clouds, windy, kind of warm, into the low 60s. but gusts to 35 miles an hour. then on saturday there's a cold but dry day, and then sunday is a cold and not dry day.
