we have live eye on the storm team coverage. john elliot has your forecast first. what can we expect? >> changes that's what it's all about minute by minute and then we settle into the pattern that's going to cause headaches for the morning drive. in the city right now a new number from the park has us down to 34 degrees. that's the real kind of key to all of this, the colder air meeting the precipitation. i know you are thinking wait a minute two days ago was 60 degrees but the cold air is going to take over. 34 with winds out much the northeast at 8 miles per hour. the green line retreating. this is radar scanning the atmosphere so it's going to change over right back to rain before it hits the streets and central sussex where you see a bulls eye and we are going to see the significant totals to the east with the possibility

a lot of roadways wet for the morning drive but then they turn snowy. the heaviest snow period will be 7 to 10 this morning and then 10: 1 the snow tapers off and we'll see the sun this afternoon. we are dealing with a morning event. timing is not good at all. north and west a trace to two, two to four in the central corridor and four to six in central sussex and a lot of this start to melt and definitely a lot more melting into the weekend. we talk about those encouraging numbers in a bit but please we are up early and you should probably get going a little earlier too. what's going on now alex. >> not a lot of people on the roads but we do have construction that may impede your ride. the bridge closed until 5 so

this is more of a wet snow we are dealing with here. i just checked my rear view mirror and we can see salt and plow trucks behind us so that's good news for drivers this morning. as you can see roads are empty and no drivers having problems but the roadways are wet and drivers could be dealing with slush during morning commutes and slick conditions so if you are heading out make sure you allow for extra time and take it slow. live in bellmore nassau county ilana gold cbs 2 news. >> thanks so much. state of mind safe out there. >> andrea grymes joins us live from the lirr station in miniola. >> it's really not that bad yet. we are here at the train administration station where they are all on time so far.

that change over under way. mike on camera two from the east end had 40 degrees and as he hits the bronx the numbers start to drop and it's going to get challenging over the next half hour to an hour and right in the middle of the commute. light snow and wind 8 miles per hour. numbers around the area going to start as snow for some of our neighbors north and west. when i came in from the west it was rain and changed over on the way in it. 37 in the hamptons hanging onto some heat but without exception. it's colder now and that's a key ingredient of the change over that's under way. you really can tell right here can't you? there's the line and it gives way to notch in the atmosphere. --to snow in the atmosphere. warm streak will end. staten island you see that hold

over as well. heavier snow starting to fall in the atmosphere through central nassau and sussex where you could see a bulls eye of sorts. that push of warm air that goes back and forth but it changes over we see heavier bands and the good manity of this story that's where we see the higher totals over half a foot. the big area for you the area of low pressure we pulled in the front that did just what we thought it would and there's enough available moisture to deal with significant totals. as far as timing this outlets set our watches about 5:30 changing to snow with everybody but the south fork and heavier snow through nassau and sussex. this is the challenging part of the commute but you are going to tap in as well. see that filling in for

this is now the 9:00 hour. still snowing. i mean it's snowing and the warm streets have given a bit of that heat away and it starts to turn slushy, challenging still at lunch time but the focus has totally shifted to the west and we wrap it up really early in the afternoon but the lingering snow through the middle part of the afternoon you see the numbers really start to climb and then the weekend looks pretty good for your super bowl fun. 2-4 easy to do for the city north and west. this purple may kick more into parts of westchester and fairfield as well with the 4-6 range and some parts of central sussex could see a half a foot of snow. and it's going to be the wet dense snow that at first is easy to get through but then it's heavy to shovel and manage. snow ending by mid day, 41 we warm up this afternoon. another concern for us

first part of your saturday you are going to see more refreezing with numbers like that but then saturday nice turn around. 45 and nice crisp sunshine and sunday is a nice day warmer before another blast of cold air rolls in next week. we are up getting you rolling early because it's going to be a challenging one. what's going on? >> john thank you. the ban bridge is closed so you want to stick with the gothel's bridge. jersey city that stretch of road is closed between jersey and tunnel avenue. john mentioned slick streets. there's a 45 miles per hour speed zone between 102 and 145. salting operations are under way there. and an accident blocking the right lane on the eastbound side of the southern state parkway at eagle avenue. mass transit everything on or
