you're watching it come down, those giant big flakes. bethany beach, rehobeth beach, we're looking at snow. milford you're back and forth we between rain showers and snow. cape may, wildwood, dennis, all looking at light snow, although it is melting when it hits the ground. atlantic city in the snow. egg harbor light snow. still, some light rain showers in deerfield, salem, and vineland. we're going to be watching it slowly move to the north, you notice it's sliding more eastward. it's going to take a while for the wide part of the system to move across philadelphia. let's take you through the timing hour by hour so you can see what's going to happen in your neighborhood. we have temperatures that are above freezing. it's okay if it's 34, 35. we can see snow falling at those temperatures. doesn't usually stick to the ground. watch what happens between now

and say, 10:30, we start to see it moving further north, darker shades of blue down here near rehobeth beach and lewis beach and cape may. temperatures start to fall. by 2:00 in the morning, a little bit cooler. 5:30 a.m. in philadelphia it's freezing. pennsylvania suburbs freezing. much of south jersey freezing. the snow is beginning to stick. by 9:30 tomorrow morning it's into the suburbs, we get to noon, it's mount pocono through the 1:00 hour. 5:30, still snowing across the area. seeing a little bit of a change back to a rain/snow mix. you may go back and forth with that. 10:30 tomorrow night, snowshowers, clearing out very early on sunday morning with temperatures at that time below freezing which is going to create ice on a lot of the roadways. this is our in-house model it's actually forecasting four inches of snow in philadelphia. a little over three in rehobeth

beach. two at mount pocono. 3.4 in atlantic city. i think that's probably accurate with isolated higher amounts in the lower lying areas. this is our north american model, it wants 5 inches in philadelphia, three in mount pocono, i think that's excessive. so it's going to be somewhere in between those two. it will be evident on grassy areas. tomorrow we'll be looking at temperatures that start out above freezing and drop below freeze ing with snow for all of the area. on sunday, it's going to be chilly. it will start below freezing with sunshine. it will get up above freezing. look atm monday. temperatures will be knaback in the 40s. >> tammie souza, thank you. up next at 5:00, it's something we've all dealt with, those pesky robo calls. in some cases they're more than a nuisance, they're a
