your most accurate weather forecast, and it's the morning rush you're worried about, right? >> yeah, i know it's hard to believe we can go from temperatures in the 60s to snow problems for the morning rush, but it's going to happen. it really is going to happen. these are the concerns for the morning rush. the heavy snow95:00 and 9:00 a.m., at the peak of the storm, throwing at 2 to 3 inches per hour. thundersnow is possible in that period, visibility very low and snow covered road. sure, traffic is going to be hazardous for several hours. not all day tomorrow, just several hours of it. here's the way it looks tonight. could start as rain overnight tonight. ground is wet, and then all of a sudden, the colder air comes in and it changes to snow. that's three, four, five in the morning, and of course, it starts earlier north and west, and they're going to end up with

more snow. but look at 6:30, the darker blue indicating the heavier snow, covering much of the area. all the way down into delaware and much of south jersey, and 9:00 a.m., it's still snowing hard. but as we get closer to noon, look what happens. it's ending from west to east, this is heavy but very brief storm that going to be affecting us. so the snow totals are somewhat limited because of the speed of this thing. so even that, 6 to 10 inches, across the lehigh valley, berks county, upper bucks. 4 to 8 inches tloum the philadelphia area, wilmington, trenton, and 2 to 4 inches a little farther to the south. that's the general picture. we'll give you snow totals for your neighborhood coming up a little later. >> all right, glenn. sky force 10 was over the salt piles today as trucks loaded up to pretreat the roads. as glenn mentioned, the heaviest

of tomorrow's snow will fall during the all important morning rush. danna is live at the pen dot yard. >> it sounds like drivers should stay off the roads in the morning rush. >> you know, people here at pendot had their wish, that's exactly what would happen. this is the worst possible timing for a snowstorm to hit. you look here, it seems quiet. we're getting ready for a briefing. the trucks, more than 300 of them, have been loading up with salt all day long today as well as putting up plows on the front of those trucks as well to get ready for the morning. >> love it. yeah, good day. >> coffee outdoors. it's not looking like a february day in the suburbs. >> i'll have my snow blower. >> finding the motivation is tough for these guys. they're all retired and they don't have to worry about driving in the snow. >> we're getting out of town at 6:00 a.m., hopefully. >> that may be tricky. >> this storm is happening a the worst part of the day for us

because it's starting before rush hour and the most intense part is during rush hour. we're going get 1 to 2 inches an hour. >> with more than 300 trucks at the ready, pendot has spent the day talking with police, lining up tow services and contracting with tree services. >> we have tree contractors on duty because the snow is going to start off as a heavy snow that could come down and land on branches and cause a snap of a branch. >> each truck is loaded with salt and plows and drivers will work in 25-mile radius, but with snow falling fast, it will be a never ending cycle, they say, of salting and plowing. as drivers finish with the last stretch of road, they go back to the starting point good do it again. >> they cleared 202 quick, so that's nice. >> that said, she doesn't plan to check out pendot's work, at least not until friday. >> maybe from home. >> you don't want to be driving in it? >> likely not. just better to stay at home if you can. >> again, that would help pendot out imenlsly, they say, because

they're going to be fighting with all of the cars and trucks on the road. again, they want you to maintain a safe distance from those trucks and those salt trucks, saying they can't get a decent amount of salt spread on the road if you're following too closely behind them. reporting live in norristown, deanna duranlty. >> and one of the biggest factors that will affect tomorrow morning's snow is this drutmatic drop untin temperatur. construction workers got to work in warm weather today. probably hot with their equipment on. crystal is here now, tracking the impact from the temperature shift. >> crystal, in just a matter of hours, we're going from record breaking warmth today to near freezing and snow. >> that's exactly right. we broke records today in some yare yeas. wilmington, philadelphia, mt. pocono, all breaking records. atlantic city tying a record for warmth on this date. hard to believe that we're talking 12 hours from now, temperatures plunging and snow starting to move in. but that's the point.

some people because let's say you wake up in philadelphia. 5:00 a.m., and it's raining or we have snow and it's melting. and you think, oh, they're all crazy. but it's just going to get worse very quickly. conditions are going to deteriorate once we change to heavy snow. that's generally between 5:00 and 9:00 a.m. especially north and west, it will happen earlier. but it's going to happen even in philadelphia. the snoet rates, 2 to 3 inches an hour with thundersnow possible, low visibility. flights cancelled. i'm sure, tomorrow morning in many areas in the northeast. the storm impact scale, it's high, for lehigh valley, berks county, p.a. suburbs. starts at 2:00 to 3:00 a.m., accumulation. they had bigger storms than that. last year, there was a 30-incher. but this is happening right during the morning rush. going to be very windy and the falling temperatures. this storm impact in

philadelphia, north delaware, and much of south jersey is going to be high, partly because of the timing here. starts 5:00 to 7:00 a.m. again, changes from rain to snow very quickly. the heaviest, 5:00 to 9:00, accumulating 4:00 to 8:00, low visibility and snowy roads. here's the winter radar now. nothing much on it, but this is the storm moving from west to east, we don't have to wait for the storm to develop along the coast like we do sometimes in winter and sometimes they don't develop or they develop too far offshore or develop too late. that one is already there. moving right this way. here's the snow area, middle of the night, by 5:30 in the morning, computers showing the changeover right in the philadelphia area. i-95, corridor, rain to the south and east. parts of our area are going to get rain and others get heavy snow at the same time. that rain/snow line is going to keep moving down to the south,

and by 9:00 a.m., just about everybody is getting snow, and even at the shore, that's a mix. could be some areas of heavy sleet tomorrow. you can also see the ending of this from west to east, that is going to limit the snowfall totals because no matter how heavy the snow is falling, if it's only a matter of a few hours, as opposed to all day like we have had some big snow storms in the past, that is a big factor. so, 6 to 10 inches is the highest general that we're going, and that includes allentown and kutztown and redding, pottstown, warrington, and this pinkish area, 4 to 8 inches. abington, radnor, philadelphia itself, brookhaven, westchester, even wilmington and newark, delaware. gloucester, new jersey. also trenton, pemberton,

gloucester, tabernacle. and continuing toward the coast, long beach island, tom's river getting 4 to 8. then the 2 to 4 inches, going to be rain, going to be sleet, a lot of it melts. farther south you go, vineland, hammi hammingten, bridgeton, also middletown, smyrna, delaware, and farther to the south, mostly melting or rain, where the temperature is above freezing. right now, you won't believe this. we have record warmth. 65 degrees. even 56 in allentown. it was 70 in atlantic city. records all over the place. this is the feels-like temperature, 4:00. watch this. by tomorrow afternoon, yikes. that's tomorrow morning. 8:30. feel like it's in the teens. and by tomorrow afternoon and evening, single digits, close to

8:00 a.m., snow in most places across the area. and then, it is ending from west to east. and there's that lighter snow, by noon time, the only heavier snow is out toward the shore by that time, and that area improves, too. the sun may even come out during the afternoon. and weather conditions and driving conditions are going to improve dramatically. between the morning and the afternoon. so just coating the two inches farther to the south, and in general, more snow to the north. and the bigger range of 4 to 8 in this area is partly because some of it is going to be rain and some of it is going to be snow. and that ratio is going to be important. we'll get into the snow totals for your neighborhood coming up. >> if you didn't get a chance to spend much time outside today, you may regret it. take a look. nbc 10 saw team ppeople takingw

stars of the 2018 winter olympics plus read more about the new events at next year's games right now on the app. >> maybe not the luge for you, but time to dust off the sled for the morning maybe. >> it really is. you hear us often talk about the most accurate forecast. an independent company was drafted to find out what is the most accurate forecast in our market. it is us. it's the nbc 10 team. that's important every day, but particularly today, going into tomorrow, glenn. >> yeah, and as i said, we have the papers to prove it. but in this case, there's a different type of storm. winter storm than we're used to. this is going to be concentrated over just a few hours. unfortunately, just a few hours, during the morning rush. then 5:00 to 9:00 a.m., snowing at 2 to 3 inches per hour at the peak with thunderstorms possible. less than a quarter mile visibility. it will be hard to see. snow's coming down hard, and travel is going to be

treacherous at best at the peak of this. now, here's, in philadelphia, the timing here. 5:00 a.m., it's going to be falling, but what is going to be falling? snow, rain, a mixture? sleet, this is the biggest question mark in the forecast. we're pretty sure of 7:00 to 9:00 a.m., it's going to be snowing, snowing hard, even in the philadelphia area. then really tapering off later on during the morning and by midday, and then the afternoon, you can go out sledding. and shovel the snow, because everything is going to freeze tomorrow night. let's see where the storm is now. you can see the area of snow move west to east, not your typical snow storm that comes up from the gulf of mexico or up the east that in one respect makes it easier to forecast because it's just moving this way. it's not developing. here we go, the snow coming in. it's the changeover from rain to snow that's the critical part of this forecast. 6:00 a.m., changing over in the

philadelphia area, already having snowed for hours north and west. and as we go into 9:00 a.m. hours, still snowing at a pretty good rate much of the area, but here we go, ending from west to east as we go through the midday hours and into the afternoon. we'll take a little while longer to end add the shore. in general, 6 to 10 inches over the farthest north area. we had storms bigger than this. they had a 30-inch snow storm last winter in allentown, but when you get 6 inches of snow in two or three hours, that's hard to deal with. at least for a brief period of time. allentown, chestnut hill, kutztown, pottstown, you're going to get at least 6 inches of snow most likely. 4 to 8 inches, radford, westchester, even down to wilmington. that's a significant snow storm. again, nothing like the 22-incher we last year.

laurel, gloucester, also in the 4 to 8-inch category. trenton, pemberton, mt. laurel, tom's river, long beach island, 4 to 8 inches. as you go farther south, salem, 2 to 4 inches. a lot of snow mixed with rain and warmer temperatures there. and then take a look farther to the south. most of that is melting. temperatures here. we have set records practically where in the area. but watch what happens to the feels-like temperatures in the next 24 hours. or even less. by 8:00 a.m., feels like the teens. by 8:00 p.m. tomorrow, it's feeling closer to zero. single digits. that will be a little hard to adjust to. >> so that's cold enough for snow to stick on roads that right now are warm. >> people wonder, how can this happen when the roads are so warm? when it's snowing real hard, the

snow flakes are falling on other snowflakes. they're not falling onto the surface. at the beginning, it starts melting, but as it is pouring up and coming down real hard, it starts to stick even on the roads. as soon as it gets lighter, it starts to melt. >> tomorrow during that all-important morning rush of 5:00 to 9:00 a.m., keep it here on nbc 10. >> nbc 10 responds also working for you. >> a family's move to a new house left them with unwanted baggage when an old bill followed them. harry hairston and the team get a couple answers and their money.
