5:49 pm
hamburg, near redding at this point, possibly seeing some wintry mix now moving into the area and developing with temperatures starting to cool quite a bit. so aside from the rain, we're also looking at reports of sleet coming through and the wintry mix for this evening. with all that possible, be careful driving because those conditions will be creating some slick roads for the rest of tonight. now berks county and montgomery county, seeing some fairly heavy rainfall, right across 476 and upper bucks county, and even parts of buckingham and parts of lower bucks county, you would could see a little bit of wintry mix, maybe a little bit of sleet trying to move into trenton that extends into the philadelphia area. wilmington, across all the major interstates here, that is some very heavy rain shown by red, it's moving into chester county,
