you can see the steady rain, the soaky rain that we had all day is pretty much moved out. we're just left with a little bit of drizzle. but there's another area back here by cincinnati that's moving straight to the east. and so we're not giving you the all-clear for the night because some of those showers could move through especially in our pennsylvania counties and from burlington county northward in new jersey. later on during the night. but by the time you get up in the morning, it should be dry. it still may be cloudy. there may be a little bit of fog. we'll be watching this system coming from the west coast moving straight west to east. so it doesn't have a whole lot of moisture with it. it's not a big storm. we've got a little bit of a disturbance down south that's going to meet up with it. and by later thursday night and into friday morning, we've got enough moisture and cold air to create some snow. and yes, there very well be

accumulation. but that's especially southern delaware and by the jersey shore could get a couple inches of snow. maybe just a little bit of snow in philadelphia and probably no snow farther to the north and west. let's show you a little closer view of this. you can see the lighter snow moving in later thursday night and into friday morning. this just one computer model. there's 8:00 a.m. it's a decent amount of snow in cape may county and in sussex county, delaware. and those areas also have another good shot at some snow on saturday with another system tracking to the south. and states to our south are really going to get some significant snow out of these two systems. so if you're traveling south, you will have to keep in tune to this. now, here we are friday with a little bit of light snow, philadelphia, and the p.a. bu h 'burbs. the second system saturday best chance again, jersey shore,

delaware a little bit less chance in south jersey. then everybody is dry but really cold during the day on sunday. the arctic air, once it's in, it is staying in for a good while. there's the one-mile day and then we got five straight days when we may not get above freezing. best chance of that snow is friday morning. look how cold it is over the weekend. >> adding insult to injury, a delaware woman already facing a tough battle with cancer. >> and more problems started adding up when her hospital bills started coming in the mail. next at 4:00, how harry hairston and the nbc 10 response team stepped in to help sort out the situation with the hospital when the woman theeded it the most. where things come from? how they get here? what they're packed in? it's a lot of stuff.
