spring snow. this time lapse video shows the flakes that started falling earlier this evening. and now let's take a look at the nbc 10 first alert radar where you can see a mix of snow and rain moving through our area overnight. good evening. we are not expecting big snow totals, but this system could impact your morning commute depending on where you live and tonight we've got team weather coverage. we've got glen hurricane schwartz and glen, you're calling this a nuisance storm? >> yes, we have the snow that's not heavy enough and the temperatures aren't cold enough to produce real significant

problems. as you can see, you can see across the river and if it was snowing harder you wouldn't be able to see that far. cape may it's a very wet snow, the streets are wet, the temperature just barely above freezing. the radar looks pretty ominous there as snow falling over much of the area, but it's mostly on the light side. very light blues, darker blues would indicate a little bit heavier snow, but around philadelphia it's very light right now. we have a couple little bands of heavier snow that could produce a little bit of accumulation, but we're really not seeing very much. the visibility would be lower if the snow was heavier and we have a two-mile visibility at millville which really isn't that low and that's the lowest visibility on the map that we're seeing. the lowest temperatures on the map that we're seeing are still above freezing. so i don't think we'll be seeing any real serious problems for the morning. we have the snow, during the

next few hours with temperatures above freezing between 2:00 and 7:00 a.m. most of the snow is in new jersey, ending west to east and for the morning rush, if there is any, it would likely be right along the coast and ending there as well. we'll talk more about the timing of this, have the latest radars and tell you about an incredible warmup coming this week too with the 7-day in a few minutes. we continue our coverage with nbc 10 live in camden county and you see some light snow coming down. >> reporter: catch it while you can. many hope this is the final snowfall of the winter season. it is not yet sticking to any road surfaces here in camden county. that's not stopping the salt trucks out here just in case getting ready for the overnight hours since we are expecting some accumulation in south jersey. the blueberry capital of the

evening making sure this storm does not intensify because that could cause some problems for the morning rush. so far that has not done that. the snow a little bit heavier in new jersey than elsewhere but it's still mostly melting on the roads and will likely continue to do that. we do have a big midweek warmup, so it's actually going to be feeling like spring this week. the visibility not all that bad as we look across philadelphia even though it's snowing. 36 degrees. the visibility 8 miles. it can still snow for a long time and not accumulate with an 8 mile visibility. the wind gusting to 21 miles an hour. it is now snowing in pottstown, the temperature has dropped a little bit. atlantic city snowing, so the snow closer to the coast is heavier. it's 32 degrees in wrightstown. if the snow got a little heavier the temperature could drop a couple degrees and you've got

some slippery issues, but it should be very isolated first thing in the morning. it's 36 in philadelphia. so it should not drop to the freezing point. even chester springs can't square above freezing. other areas north and west well above freezing because the snow is that much lighter there. a little bit heavier in dover at 32. atlantic city airport 33. it's very close, but it's not quite strong enough storm to make this snow heavy enough to knock the temperatures down and to cause the snow to stick. so we continue to monitor it. it looks more ominous than it really is, because most of this is on the light side. a little bit heavier than some of these darker blue bands and we have one right near the shore that's a little bit heavier now. we have to monitor to see if this does intensify over the next couple of hours. it only has a few more hours

left before the whole thing moves out. the visibility in chester county down to 3 miles. it could accumulate if it lasted ten hours like that. mount holly visibility has been among the lowest, so they're getting a little bit of accumulation there, again, mainly grassy surfaces. philadelphia's visibility eight miles. dover still too much for snow to accumulate. millville 2 miles and yeah, it's snowing across all those areas and will continue for at least another few hours, but it is just so light. and the roads of course are warm. the temperature has not dropped below freezing in a while. and there we go. by 7:00, 8:00 a.m., everything is out of here. the sun comes out and starts drying things out. now it's going to be chilly and windy during the day tomorrow, not exactly feeling like spring, but we are going to be seeing

improving conditions. so as we go through the rest of the night, more snow in new jersey, but ending west to east, and 7:00 to 9:00 a.m., the last of it right at the coast. so the snow mainly in new jersey ending, 32 degrees for the low in philadelphia. 28 after it's all over north and west. clearing, windy and chilly during the day tomorrow. wind gusting to 35 miles per hour. the 7-day forecast, a cold start tuesday and then we start the warmup and look what happens by wednesday. 67 degrees. then 70 by thursday. 70 by friday as well. so this may be the last gasp of winter on the first day of spring. but tomorrow's going to be chilly. >> so tomorrow morning for the commute you don't think it's going to be much of an issue. >> no, i think some very, very isolated slick spots and we'll dry out quickly once that sun comes out. thank you. we're following breaking news out of south philadelphia.

falling, starting to accumulate on some of the side surfaces. even the sidewalks getting a little bit on the whiter side. so that is the heaviest snow in the whole area. the darkest blue that you can see on the radar right now, that is it. that's the heaviest snow on the map. in the philadelphia area you can see it's a much, much lighter color blue. that's lighter snow. it's covering most of the area, but it is just not heavy and the visibility shows that. mount holly's visibility enough to accumulate. maybe an inch or so on the grassy surfaces, because the temperature is at or above the freezing mark and it's been that way all day and all evening. we'll talk more about when this will start moving out. what to expect in the morning

and the rest of the week in the 7-day in a few minutes. >> thanks, glenn. there are some concerns about whether the snow will impact your morning commute and andrea thomas is in fair mount park tonight and you spoke to penn dot about their preparations. >> reporter: that's right. they started on friday, brining the roads in the philadelphia area. there's been more rain than snow in this region, so some of that has washed away, but crews are out right now as we speak just in case to prepare for tomorrow morning's commute. penn dot crews were called in at 6:00 this everything to load up with salt and hit the road. >> we're going to monitor the weather, the temperatures, throughout the night and be ready for rush hour in the morning. >> reporter: 150 trucks are being dispatched throughout the area to first check on bridges and overpasses. so far the light wet snow has been more of a nuisance than a

hazard. >> nasty, cold, rainy, you know, the norm. >> reporter: penn dot is preparing for a light coating or slush while keeping an eye on the temperatures overnight to make sure your morning commute is safe. >> reporter: well, a lot of people told us that they're ready to get rid of their heavy coa coat it really has been a mild winter. penn dot tells me last winter and the winter before that they used three times more salt than they did this year. reporting live along kelly drive, nbc news. >> across the river it's hard to see, but there is some light snow falling there. let's go to randy who's live in camden county and tell us what things are like right now. >> reporter: it's going to be tough for this to really accumulate. this has been going on and off. we've got flurries. about an hour ago it was coming down pretty hard, but right now not much snow and you can see

well, prescription drug abuse and heroin use is taking a toll on our communities and families. that's why we went all the way to the top, to the white house to ask what's being done to fight this public health crisis. >> the war on drugs has changed course. it had to. there's a general consensus the old way wasn't working. >> arresting people with addiction is not the way to go. >> reporter: i went to washington, d.c. to sit down with top drug official, the director of national drug control policy at the white house. his personal story of alcohol recovery gives him first-hand knowledge of addiction. >> this issue has touched so many people personally. you know, so many people know someone who has gotten addicted to these medications, so many people have known someone who has died of an overdose. >> reporter: he says reforming drug policy in the united states starts with a community based approach. to treat people with substance abuse disorders not as criminals

but people who need support. >> i think you said in your own words more healing than handcuffs? >> we viewed people with addiction as bad people doing bad things and we now know this is a disease. >> and part of the process coming to the top is to put money behind strategies for prevention, treatment and followup care. that's educating the public that addiction is a disease and not a moral failing. >> it really destigmatizes addiction when law enforcement says we know that you need help, that we're not going to use punitive approaches here. i think it sends a strong signal for people struggling with addiction. >> reporter: the administration proposed a billion dollars in new funding. $920 million will go to states to close the gaps for drug treatment and support programs. >> what can every person do to fight this epidemic.

>> reporter: supporting people in recovery. that you know, we know treatment is one part of the process, but a recovery is a life long process and we want people to support people they know in recovery and create spaces in their communities and their homes to support people in recovery. >> we spoke with dozens of people for an investigation into the heroin crisis in the philadelphia area and beyond. watch generation addicted tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. it airs right here on nbc 10. macy's kicked off its annual spring flower show in center city. this year's theme is america the beautiful and designers created displays featuring flowers from all over the country. now, if you missed it, don't worry. that show runs through sunday, april 3rd. local travel enthusists

later in the week. things are going to change pretty quickly. it's not going to stay like this all week. we do have snow now and the heaviest of it is in new jersey and will continue to be that way for the next couple of hours, but most of it melts on the roads. there could be a few slick spots in the driveway, sidewalks, as we get into the morning. now, the sun doesn't rise until about 7:00 a.m., so before sunrise is mostly where there would be any slick spots. a midweek warmup, significant warmup with temperatures close to 70. visibility is still decent in philadelphia. that does not scare me when it comes to snow accumulation with the visibility is 8 miles it could snow for a couple of days and not accumulate at that rate. 36 degrees in the northeast at 10 gusting to 21 miles an hour. here's where it is accumulating a little bit. this is cape may. you can see the snow flakes by the head lights, but it's not even as heavy as it was 15

minutes ago. so it's got to come down harder than that to really accumulate especially considering the temperatures are marginal. it's 32 in washington township. it's been above freezing for a long, long time, so it's going to take the temperature to go down a little bit more than that to create any kind of icy conditions. 33 degrees in oxford. we'll be watching you through the morning rush just to make sure everything is okay. 32 degrees in dover. 32 in millville. 33 degrees in atlantic city airport. so yeah, it's pretty close. we're already seeing the back edge of the snow here coming into the north and western suburbs and you can see where the heavier snow is. that is right down toward cape may. the lighter snow around the philadelphia area north and west, even across the river in much of new jersey, but that's some darker blue. that is significant snow falling right along the garden state

parkway if there's going to be accumulation, that's the area most likely. visibility down to 2 miles. mount holly, 2. it's lower visibility than the rest of the area, but that's still not that low indicating that the snow is not that heavy. the storm has not intensified enough to produce significant accumulation. and at the same time, everything is going to be moving out as well. so by morning rush, for the most part, not only is the snow moving out, but we also have the sun coming out and that's going to help dry things out pretty quickly. so the snow mainly in new jersey ending from west to east as we go through the rest of the night, and it's clearing during the day. it's going to be a fair amount of sunshine. a fair amount of wind. it's going to dry things out and temperatures getting into the 40s. chilly for this time of the year, but not as cold in the

morning. 32 for tuesday morning so it's cold then and not as cold tuesday afternoon and then look what happens to the temperature. wednesday 67 and then you're 70 thursday and friday. >> we'll let you know how st. joe's is fairing in their second round matchup out west and jay wright explains why he did his best tiger woods fist pump impression when he goes one on one with john clark, next.
