night, glenn. >> yeah, rosemary it's wet but also warm. it looks like it' about to gettter. you can see some rain in the southern half of delaware and near the south jersey shor from the west and it's a pretty significant area. it's not quite as heavy as it was a few hours ago, but once it does make it in, it could be a steady rain for several hours this afternoon before we get into the drier air. here's the future cast hour by hour. as you can see, this rain moving in 1:00 to 2:00 depending on where you are and then starting to move out as we go into the afternoon rush. so we're talking about several hours of rain. and then had the rain ends as the colder air starts to come in, and by 7:30 tonight we're already clear. it's 57 degrees in philadelphia right now, despite the clouds and the flan southern delaware we're near 60 degrees. 60 in atlantic city. hard to believe that not much

more than 24 hours from now it's going to be snowing. snowing. and meteorologist steve sosna will tell you about that part. >> it's wild stuff. had is something that you would typically experience in march or he'll early april. it has all the trademarks of an early snow system. north and west of the city that's your main target zone. lehigh valley, the pennsylvania suburbs we're calling this a pennsylvania turnpike type storm because those are where the places we could see the highest amounts. 6:00 p.m. saturday through 5:00 a.m. on sunday is the worse the travel conditions out there, and the reason why? we're anticipating anywhere between 3 and 6 inches of not just powdery snow but heavy, wet, sloppy snow and that will impede travel for some time. glen showed you the rain, i'm showing you the snow on the back end of the system. that's showing colder air bleeding to the south. this is a big travel weekend, president's day weekend, we have snow alerts all wait through southern new england. now is the time do your travel,

>> reporter: yeah, but it's hard to imagine that it's going to be snowing tomorrow because it feels really good outside right now. we've seen people walk around in short sleeve shirts light workout clothes, people running errands trying to get through the day and to enjoy these temperatures. but, as we know, it's only a matter of time before the temperatures drop and we see some snow. you may have to do some calling around to find salt. if you're out of it at home, the first stop is home depot, they tell me they're completely sold out of salt at this point. we checked around and found the true value hardware center had plenty left on shelves. the 50 bound bag was on sale for $26.99. they had some smaller size on well as well as shovels and other winter accessories. we've been talking to people what their plans are. some of the people we spoke to didn't realize it was going to be snowing. others were aware and planning accordingly. either way the theme seems to be stay indoors and enjoy it. >> don't have a lot of things to get but i will go to the grocery

store and get some provisions for the evening so we can have a nice quiet dipper and enjoy the snowfall. >> who's on snow duty? whose going to have to clean up after it? >> my husband. >> sit back relax and watch the snowfall and watch it disappear. >> not worried about salt shoveling, none of that? >> none of that. i've got a shovel but i'm not expecting to use it. >> issnow? >> yes. home. i don't have anyplace go so i will be in front of the tv. yeah, saturday it's a good sports day so if it's snowing a sporting event on tv i'm there. >> reporter: i think that that's a really good plan to stay in front of tv tomorrow. hey, the good news is the snow isn't going to start until later tomorrow so you still have some time if you have errands ton run or things to get ahead of the snow. reporting live i'm pamela osborne, nbc 10 news.

things to get, a good movie and definitely some essentials like popcorn. glenn "hurricane" schwartz knows this weather roller coaster all too well. we've seen this before where we go from these extremes of really warm weather to frigid weather and we get some snow to boot. yeah this is typical of what happens in the springtime. it's not quite as typical happening in february but this is a ditch kind of a climate that we have. we have spring in february sometimes. we have warm and damp today. we've got snow coming in saturday night. may not believe it, but it's coming. and then very warm next week. record warmth. so we go from warm to snow back to warm. we've got the first alert out for the pa suburbs, lehigh valley berks county. this is the area that's going to be hardest hit, not the only area that's going snow. 6:00 p.m. saturday through 5:00 a.m. sunday. problems are from

6:00 p.m. to midnight, of course that's your saturday night. if you want to switch that to sunday no problem then. friday night no problem thhat 3 to 6 inches heavy, wet snow, sloppy slippery. if you wait long enough it's going to melt on its own. it will melt while it's falling or it will melt on sunday. here's the you can see just a rain approaching here. and so we're going to be seeing more of that coming in durin the rest of the day. so this is today's system. we've got the other one tha th new mexico riding this powerful jet stream coming in. this is moisture coming in from the ocean. 57 in philadelphia now. 61 in northeast philly. 62 at rehoboth beach. and 30 hours from now it's snowing. here's the hour by hour. by this afternoon we're starting to see the rain, not only move in, but getting ready to move

out. and already ending in lehigh valley, berks county. and it's gone by later on during the day. then, tomorrow morning we're cold. below freezing. one of the keys is how much do we warm up during the afternoon tomorrow? maybe up to 40. the snow is falling and temperatures are above freezing so a lot of it's going to melt if it's coming down real hard and some of it could, then you have some visibility issues. it starts piling up on the grassy sur fariss. you can see in philly the temperature never goes below freezing. so we're expecting 3 to 6 inches north and west of philly, 1 to 3 mostly melting northern delaware up through burlington county and then mainly rain to the south. we'll break this down neighborhood by neighborhood a little bit later. >> see you shortly. thanks, glenn. tomorrow night at 7:00 there will abi charity hockey game at the stadium to honor fallen

delaware still wet. that will move out by 6:00 or 7:00 and the drier, colder air starting to come in. look at these temperatures. it's 57 in philadelphia, 61 northeast philly, and dover, even cold spots are way up in the 50s. but the temperature is going to be drop being as we through the afternoon but still not too bad by 6:00. later on tonight, it's getting colder and colder setting us up for that snow tomorrow. mgt steve sosna will tell you about that part. >> that's right. this wouldn't be an unusual storm if was april but it's february outside and we have warm temperatures we had 60s yesterday and earlier this morning. now the clouds continue and this is a live shot now in allentown and you're one of the shots where the snow will stick here by tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. so what you need to know the snow begins around 6:00 here. and check in with tammy and glen and i here later on today, we'll have another update at 4:00 on

part of next week. but we've got a first alert out for the snow for the pa suburbs, lehigh valley, berks county not. not the only place that's going to see snow but the best chance of it sticking. 6:00 p.m. saturday through 5:00 a.m. on sunday. 3 to 6 inches most of it between 6:00 p.m. and midnight very brief period but it's a sta za night. sloppy and slippery travel in those areas. we'll still get snow from philly down dover and across other parts of south jersey too, but as you'll see the temperatures are key to this. we've got more rain coming in in the meantime we've had some in southern delaware hour after hour. and this stuff has to come through before we get into the dry, colder air. that's coming with a front. and we have this tremendous jet stream coming from the pacific ocean all the way up this way. and this is the next disturbance that's going to be bringing that

snow here. of course first we need the cold air. it's not too close yet, is it? it's 57 in allentown, reading and coatesville. 55 blue bell right now. but, as we go through the afternoon, you can see the rain moving in, still quite mild in much of the area but starting to cool down a little bit north and west. and by the afternoon rush we're still getting a steady rain in new jersey and delaware but it's ending in pennsylvania and the that's when the temperatures are going to start going down. as you can see by 9:00 it's chilly and in the 30s. by tomorrow morning we're in the upper 20s. but this is such a brief period of below freezing temperatures, the roads are so warm now they're going to be so warm this evening. and then tomorrow we're going to get a little sunshine to start the day and we could get up to 40 degrees or close to it in much of the area so the roads are still going to be warm. and then here comes the snow.

now, it's cold higher up in the atmosphere that's where the snow forms. it's going to fall straight down and it's only right at the ground that it's above freezing. yes, this can happen. it can snow at 35 degrees. it could snow hard at 35, big wet flakes coming here. there's 10:00 and it's snowing over much of the area. but it's those temperatures that never go below freezing in parts of the area. so 3 to 6 inches northern/western areas. 1 to 3 mostly melting in the philadelphia area. so berks county, upper montgomery upper bucks, lehigh valley, all in the 3 to 6. much of philadelphia lower bucks and toward the southeast toward new jersey in the 1 to 3 area. it's only a few hours, but it's going to be a mess. we'll be right back.

i mean, it feels like spring, at least there's that, right? >> it will feel like spring all next week too but in between it's going to snow. that's saturday night at 6:00 p.m. mostly to midnight and it could be coming down hard for a while. but the temperatures are generally above freezing. a lot of it will melt as it falls, but it could be a beautiful looking thing. and whatever sticks on the grassy surfaces is going to be melting on sunday. look at next week, got a couple

of days of 70 plus. >> yeah, one thing in there doesn't look quite right, that 38 for saturday. >> it's coming. >> that's going to do it for us for the 11:00. i'm rosemary connors, with glenn "hurricane" schwartz, have a good one.
