just not going to last much longer. in fact, before the sun comes up, all the snow comes to an end. we will be melting and drying out before the day goes on. not a huge warmup today. does look above freezing for many neighborhoods. if it doesn't, gets close to freezing mark, sunshine coming through, the melting will occur. then it turns colder tonight. tomorrow, yet another storm system is coming up the coast. and could impact parts of our area with more snow. wilmington starting to dry out. snowfall just enough to make for slippery conditions. 29 in wilmington. newark at 30 degrees. numbers will climb into the 30s and snow tapering off and coming to an end. you still see snow. especially in lehigh valley, redding, getting snow. and at the shore, but it's going

to move offshore first thing this morning. this comes to an end in the suburbs as well. the last few snowflakes are on the way for philadelphia. at least for today. tomorrow is a completely different animal as a coastal system threatens parts of our area with snow once again. meteorologist crystal is standing by with a closer look at that potential. >> so we're tracking this round two potential. this one is a very more difficult forecast to talk about. we knew this was going to be widespread snow this morning moving through and moving out. next round is going to be a system coming from the south. depending how far north, see bigger or smaller impacts. a look at just one models update that we are tracking out there as we go along throughout the day. you can see on your hour by hour forecast that we are dealing with temperatures that are going to be very cold as we start out your saturday morning. you see those mid 20s, low 20s further north and teens as you get furthest from our views area.

notice the potential just offshore. again one models prediction here. looking at a lot of different models and making forecast. we're calling for that snow line to move a little further north. enough we should see impact along shore points and delaware beaches. see that around 9:30 in the morning. that's going to extend further north. very dependent on the system center. if it pushes further north, we see the effects. go through hour by hour. notice how cold we stay saturday as well. remember it's going to be breezy to windy out there. for saturday that means it feels colder than it actually is. temperatures in the afternoon only in the upper 20s. snow line start to creep off. talking a morning into afternoon potential for snow. then this will continue to shift off as we move later into the day. 8:30 in the evening. notice temperatures really didn't warm much throughout the entire day. this is what i'm talking about. that's the storm center i'm talking about at 6:00 a.m.

watch as it goes into motion here. if this shifts just a little further along to the north and to the west, that snow line pushes into parts of new jersey and delaware. snow totals will then be different until that starts to move off. this is the big if that we are tracking so closely for you guys and continues to do throughout all of our newscast. preliminary snow total forecast. could see a heavy hit throughout the day. up to six inches. notice how quick this tightens, only near an inch for philadelphia. now some mod lgs we'els we're lt are showing a different picture. in fact one of the most popular models we use, the euro, which is very consistent, suggests much higher totals. in fact we're on the cusp of 2-4 inch potential right near philadelphia with higher amounts into parts of new jersey. there is the possibility for more especially locally further south. that is something we're going to have a very close eye on as we

go through each update and afternoon, evening, and through your weekend newscast. right now looking like your best potential for snow will be the most south points of the area. talk more about the forecast all coming up. 4:24 on this friday and already the slick conditions causing real problems on the roads. >> 95 southbound shutdown for more than an hour now. >> big delays behind this. 95 southbound closed. this is a live shot from the ground. a lot of crew on the scene. looks like a salt truck right there. fire engine, police officers on the scene. tractor trailer is jackknifed on to the road. on the southbound side. it's the traffic that's moving towards center city. that's where we see the cars heading for the morning commute. here's another shot. 95 around cottman avenue. see the traffic at a stop and stand still. a big problem for drivers this

morning. the next problem is how do i get around this. few different ways. this is for the traffic moving towards center city. may not want to take 95 at all. take wood haven road. head down to the boulevard here. that way make your way towards center city. it is better than being stopped completely on the southbound side. if you already are on 95 or know someone headed down 95, frankford is another alternate. then hop back on to 95 southbound just around betsy ross bridge exit. additionally dealing with closure on vine street expressway. we have about another half hour before that clears out of the way as well. delay through center city, and, of course, more updates when i come back. in montgomery county, weighing in on details of bill cosby's upcoming trial. what they say about the potential jury and where the
