truck brining a road in springfield township, montgomery county. so how much and when? we get answers from first alert meteorologist bill henley. >> i have no doubt that the crews will keep up with the light snow heading in this evening. here is your time looip. during the day, cold and cloudy and dry through the afternoon. it is this evening when we start to see the first light snow arriving between 7:00 and 9:00. just a few neighborhoods during that time. and then more widespread snow later in the evening and into early tomorrow morning. overnight, expect accumulations of one to two inches. maybe a couple of neighborhoods getting more than two but i'm not expecting more than that. and by first thing tomorrow morning before the rush gets underway, the snow will move off shore, off the jersey shore and out to sea and we'll be done with it. right now plenty of clouds. the radar is picking up what looks like snow and that is snow

up above the ground. by the time it reaches the ground, it is falling into some very dry air so this first little bit of snow that is trying to come out of the clouds is not even getting close to the ground. so that is not the snow we're going to get this evening. there it is. moving through kentucky, and into the ohio valley, west virginia and even into portions of virginia. so it has a ways to go before it gets here. plenty of planning time. but it is not the sunny day we had yesterday by a long shot when we saw temperatures in the 50s. right now it is 30 degrees in philadelphia. the wind is out of the west at 12 miles per hour. the system will be coming in from the west. the winds won't be as strong for the suburbs and new jersey as what we saw yesterday and not as warm with the clouds and upper knowledge at 35 degrees with mostly cloudy skies for philadelphia and the upper 30s in delaware. that is a little bit warm for snow but these numbers are falling before the snow starts to move in this evening. i'll take you through hour by hour with the future-cast and we'll look at how much you can expect in your neighborhood when i come back. tracy. >> bill, thanks.

two in the poconos but that is true for much of the area. but during the afternoon, dry but cloudy afternoon with temperatures above freezing, but just barely. they come back down tonight and we'll be tracking light accumulating snow in the area that will continue into early tomorrow morning. right now watching the tea temperatures and clouds increase. 39 in philadelphia. and 28 in the lehigh valley. and south jersey, limited sunshine getting through the clouds but not having a big impact on the temperatures. look at woodstown, piles grove, mt. laurel, all below freezing this morning. lumberton at 31 degrees. and low 20s in princeton and now 29. 30 degrees in robbinsville. will peak above freezing this afternoon and then the teams start to come back -- the temperatures come back down. right now the clouds are increasing. you could see the little bit of snow that is trying to develop but is falling into very dry air so not reaching the ground. but it is a different story in virginia and beyond.

this is the snow that is going to be arriving this evening. it is a large area of light snowfall. and we'll see the first snowflake during the early evening hours. after a cloudy afternoon, 6:30 this evening, light snow pushing into delaware and new castle county, salem county and into philadelphia and more widespread accumulating snow by late in the evening. that is 11:00 tonight. it looks pretty impressive right there. though that is light snow. it is not even coming down in cape may at that hour. that changes overnight as this system will be shifting. that is 2:00 in the morning, still light snow nor wilmington and philadelphia and trenton and quickly moving out to sea. long gone by 7:00. well before the morning commute starts. so how much to expect? well the snow potential, not a lot by 9:00. could see an inch on the ground by that hour in wilmington. and in the late evening hours and to midnight, about an inch into middle school and vor hees

and pottstown and then it increases into the early morning hours, 2:00 and just about done, seeing more in parts of new jersey, up to three inches in vorhees but then no more snow after that and drying out and getting colder for the weekend. so your ten day on 10, 35 today. dry during the day and light snow this evening and early tomorrow morning and sunshine breaking through tomorrow afternoon. but don't expect sunshine to warm things up over the weekend. in fact, the temperatures go the other way. especially cold on sunday when it is windy too, with temperatures in the 20s. the warm-up comes next week ahead of rain on wednesday and thursday and it is just rain with temperatures up to 50 degrees on wednesday afternoon. just 46 degrees with the showers coming to an end on thursday. >> well with the snow, the timing couldn't be better. everybody get home and settle in and the road crews do what they need to do and then you have a dusting. >> most people are off the road. so the 180 trucks that we've

closed captioning is brought to you by the ford focus. now your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> coming up, 10 before lunchtime and we're going to see plenty of clouds like in wilmington right now. but not snow until we get to the evening hours. just cold and dreary. temperatures are being held back by the clouds. 29 degrees right now in talliville. clay mont is 29. 31 in harmony hills and very low 30s to the south, delaware beaches and rehoboth beach and

very low 30s. so not much of a warm-up and temperatures falling this evening just as the snow reaches into the area. radar and satellite shows a lot of clouds. very little sunshine. and it is trying to snow in our area. but that snow is not reaching the ground. the different story in virginia. here is the leading edge. that is the verying that will be coming into during the early evening hours and then we'll get this during the later evening and early morning hours. this is light snowfall and it is going to be a pretty quick mover, too. coming through during the evening, when most people are at home. during the day today, a lot of clouds. at 7:00 this evening, here comes the first snow into wilmington and philadelphia getting light snow possibly at 7:00 and then that increases in it scope into the suburbs and south jersey as well. this is the area that will first get a snowfall. you kind of remember this area right in here. that is 9:00. by 11:00 this evening, when they are updating you on the system coming through, it is more

widespread snowfall reaching into the poconos past the lehigh valley and even into the jersey shore, toms river 31 degrees with snow falling and snow reaching into central and portions of southern delaware. cape may may be drive but that is a temporary effect. by early tomorrow morning, the snow stretches to cape may and at 3:00 in the morning it tapers off in the lehigh valley and the suburbs and look at what happens between 3:00 and 4:00 this morning. that is 3:00. it virtually disappears in an hours time and pushes off shore. toms's river and atlantic citying the last snowflake before it moves off shore. we won't see a lot. by 1:00, one inch for philadelphia and vorhees and two inches on the ground in westchester and wilmington. and then as we get more snowfall, remember the areas getting the first snow right into here. this is where we'll see the greatest amount and there is no big snow coming here. two inches for westchester or wilmington and maybe more,

possibly up to three for vorhees. but many neighborhoods wind up with just an inch of snow and then it is out of here. but this weekend, there is one more chance that parts of the area will see a bit of snow. this is saturday morning, another system, this one a storm, off shore is going to get very close to the coast. maybe even seeing some very light snow in extreme southern delaware. barely reaching toward the shore. in fact, most likely it will stay off shore. that is noontime on saturday. as we go into the afternoon, that falls farther away. but it will be cold and that cold will stay with us and get even colder on sunday. so saturday we'll see some breaks of sunshine in philadelphia, the suburbs in lehigh valley. a slightest chance from the second storm off shore, giving us maybe a little light snow. or possibly just a few flurries in new jersey and the jersey shore and delaware. that most likely stays way to the south or way off shore. and then sunday we get some sunshine. but the temperatures are aftnoo

temperatures so the feels-like temperatures sunday morning at 7:00, looking at single-digits for philadelphia, swedesville, vorhees and 4 degrees the feels-like temperature in allentown and down to 9 degrees for and 11 degrees in avalon. so very cold air. it looks like the coldest is here on sunday into monday. and then the temperature trend after a very cold weekend is finally moving up on tuesday and the ten-day on 10 takes it even higher next wednesday. that will come with a chance of some rain for wednesday. we'll ease out of the cold and that mild, though not as warm as wednesday, still not as bad for thursday. and friday is drying out and that is typical for this time year. high temperatures in the low to mid-40s for friday and saturday. so a bump in the road with snow coming this evening and we'll go on early tomorrow. >> going on at 4:00 a.m. >> and most it will be done by

4:00 a.m. a convenience system coming through with evening and early morning snow and just some light snow too. >> it is crazy that yesterday it was in thes and now we're talking about snow. and while we are talking snow, snow, you've been making the point we need to focus on the bitter cold this weekend. >> some of the snow will disappear and it will warm up and seeing sunshine but the wicked wind will be blowing this weekend. saturday especially cold. and high temperatures all weekend long, and sunday morning we saw the windchills in the single-digits and another very cold morning though not as windy on monday. down into the teens. many neighborhoods could be in the single-digits without the windchill on monday morning. then we start to get the warm-up next week. >> and again the snow is predictable but we'll have update this is afternoon. >> absolutely. the whole team is on board with this one. >> great. thanks, bill. he is a talented singer and actor and dancer and now we know that justin timberlake has hoop skills. j.t. got to step on the court after tuesday's night's game

news. if you think you are surrounded by sick people this season, you are not alone. local hospitals are packed with patients, with everything from stomach bugs to the flu and the reason doctors believe there is an overflow in the e.r. we'll explain coming up at 4:00 into and again snow comes in tonight and everything should be fine. >> we'll be just fine. one to two inches for most spots and maybe more in some neighborhoods. one system that nobody is without snow and nobody will get a lot of snow. so everybody gets a little with this one. comes in tonight and you'll see the first snowflakes this evening and by tomorrow we're drying out in the afternoon with some breaks of sunshine and then the cold takes over this weekend. especially cold -- look at the cold numbers, from 18 down to 13 degrees on monday morning and then a warm-up from 30 on monday to 40 on tuesday to 50 on wednesday. >> crews will have plenty of time to get things done today and take care over night and then tune in at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. thank you for watching nbc news
