"action news" delaware valley's leading news program. with rick williams, sara bloomquist, and meteorologist, david murphy.

and good afternoon we begin with a look at the nor'easter that is hitting us at one of the worst possible times. it's dropping snow and rain just as people head out for the long holiday weekend. the change from snow to rain has already happened in center city philadelphia and places south of the city are getting a messy mix. there is a storm warning in affect for several counties, including here in allentown, making the roads a mess. and it's disrupting travel plans nationwide. flights are canceled at philadelphia airport and some flights are delayed. we have a look at the delays on the road and on the rails. we begin with david murphy and

karen rogers, they are tracking the winter storm and what you can expect throughout the day. david murphy is live at the big board. >> about a half hour ago my twitter feed exploded with acity because there was a big boom. everybody wanted to know if it was thundersnow, only the third time in my life i heard it and maybe the first time for you. there is an area where we have an enhanced upward lift and that is approaching the area and i think that will mainly enhance the snowfall around the i-95 corridor and we'll see if we get our 1 to 3 inches, and if it brought enough velocity to bring the thundersnow. we are looking at an awful lot of this across the region, it's coming down for the last several hours, from allentown to reading

and close to philadelphia. and storm tracker 6 exhibits the heavier snow with the lavender shade. we see that in bucks county and north of trenton and then the blue area at the immediate i-95 corridor, a lighter, wetter snow mixing with rain yet and we see sleet in parts of the region as well. but the big story is the snow north and west along the i-95 corridor. that is what we are looking at happening over the next several hours. viewer picture i want to show you mirrors the picture from allentown and some roads are snow covered. this is from my twitter followering, dan. early on during this snow event, we see the snow cover today. the current temperatures are close to freezing in trenton, allentown and not far above it in wilmington, and mainly wet

roads in philadelphia but everybody has to use their thinking caps, if you see the slushy coverage developing slow it down. what can we expect for the rest of the day. lets look at this now, the hardest hit heavy snow in the northwest and it begins as rain as we saw turning to wet snow and snowy accumulation, along the i-95 corridor. we have seen gusts up to 35 miles per hour. a soaking rain and in southern new jersey and delaware, nothing more than a flake or two. the winter storm warning continues until 10:00 for the western suburbs, and advisories elsewhere. i want to show you future tracker 6, this advanced until 3:00 today. we are looking along the i-95 corridor. it's mostly north and west with the change over to snow, that is when we start to see the rain turn to snow, even the interior parts of south jersey, gloucester and jersey and camden

counties and parts of delaware at this point. and we watch it kick on out of here and our thanksgiving day is dry. it's mainly wet along the highways and i-95 and slushy to the northwest and the big, wet snowflakes are reducing visibility, .3 in mount pocono and less than a mile in lancaster, even in philadelphia, under a mile visibility when so many people are traveling here. we watch the precipitation type mainly snow to the northwest, range continuing to change to snow along i-95 and i want to show you a picture of this at route 100 kirkland avenue, see the snow sticking to the roadways, david will be back to tell us how much snow to expect. >> thank you karen. our team coverage continues now

on the road with "action news" reporters john rawlins and annie mccormick. first annie is in the elements in snowy allentown. >> reporter: hey beautiful snowy allentown, a look at the roadways, here at parkway and tillman road, you can see it's drivable and there is a lot of motion going on here and the roads are treated off of 22 and 309, and look at the type of snow we are dealing within this is the fun stuff, the packable snow, can you make snow men and snowballs with it. nick will back up here and show you the areas on the roadways that are not treated yet, this is the type of buildup you are getting and if you see this and are home, it's good to try and put the salt down. snow continued to fall along the northeast extension of the turnpike, making for slushy

roadways and keeping penndot on gourd. the roads are turning into a wet mess but people are enjoying the beauty for the beginning of the holidays but they are driving with caution as they take it all in. >> it's not bad at all. now you have to take your time and it's really not bad. i love t i love snow. it's beautiful. >> optimistic right there. can you see the continuous amount of snow, the buildup on my jacket and hair, this is how fast it is coming down now, we came up the turnpike on the northeast extension, when we hit around the quakertown area is when we really started to see the snow come down and has not let up since and we will will he traveling around the area today and let you know what you'll see on the roadways, more coming up on 6 abc at 4:00 and 6:00. we are live in allentown, annie

mccormick, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. this is video from north pikes town pike and lets switch live to norristown and john rawlins and penndot's efforts to stay ahead of this storm. >> wet, heavy snow began to fall at 9:45, that was a few minutes before we were briefed by the top guy from penndot in this region. >> those of you coming over, i experienced the change over from rain to snow and it's snowing now. >> and so it begins, what were rainy streets become snowy streets later. penndot has 3500 miles of pavement to take care of in the area, and the last minute truck repairs are down and some 332 trucks, and back there morning for more salt and this is one of

the biggest travel days of the year and penndot hopes drivers are flexible. >> we hope they can rearrange their travel plans until this event is over but if they have to go out please be very careful. advise at least six car lengths behind our snowplows when they are operating. >> if the conditions deteriorates, they again urge drives to use common sense. >> if you encounter snow or ice covered roads, the most logical thing is to slow down and decrease your following distance and avoid distractions. >> one of the 370 some odd trucks out there is here getting more salt. it's getting rather icy on the untreated areas that is for sure, it's important for penndot to get the salt on the roads and for drivers to be patient and careful on the roads today.

year. the sales have dropped for three straight quarters, people believe that it it's happening as smart phone screens get bigger and they don't come with the benefits of a two-year contract. apple is the first company with a market value over $700 billion and some think it could go higher with the success of apple pay and the iphone 6. health chip kelly this noon, a new type of mammogram could make screening easier for women. it's a new technique that could take the pressure out of the procedure, they were able to capture the accurate images using half the pressure as regular mammograms, women reported less severe pain, and it's unclear when these advances may arrive in the united states. all right, the "action news"

we are back with a live look from the action cam here in norristown, the penndot yard, the salt trucks are coming in to load back up. 332 trucks were loaded up last night and they are out on the roaded now, some spots they had to wait for the changeover but they are on the move now, they are asking you to keep a distance behind them and better yet stay off the roads all together. >> meteorologist, david murphy, is back with us now. >> well, i think in philadelphia we'll see the snow lighten up

and change back to rain but in the northern suburbs you are stuck with snow. we are looking at precipitation across the region and rain down south and lots of snow up north and in the middle snow is pushing down into philadelphia. you recall a few moments ago i talked about an enhanced uplift that could enhancing snow in and around the city itself and we are seeing that now. over jenkintown and parts of philadelphia and olney and chestnut hill you are seeing the lavender shade and the snow, and that means steadier to heavy snow and it's largely snow and rain mixed in and larger shades of blue that is fairly significant snowfall and it's heavy wet snow in parts of montgomery county, in parts of worchester and green lane. if we go out wide even the areas showing wide ranges of wide we see a lot of snow, it's tapering

down to the south and chester county and it may be we get into a part of the afternoon where it's not as intense as right now. but some snow is piling up on some roadways. as we look out sired, we have the action cam out there, there is mr. eagle, just looking at the snow and saying i don't care. 34 is the forecast temperature in philadelphia, not far above the freezing mark. we expect mainly wet road as long the i-95 corridor, be careful out there if you see the slush developing on the roads, winds out of the north at 12 miles per hour. it gets more blustery as we go later into the afternoon, 33's and 34's on the map, it's milder down south where we see all rain. as we take a look at the winds, it's a nor'easter for a reason and winds come down in that area and it's in the process of getting around us, we can all see wind gusts in the 20 to 30

miles per hour range. in terms of the precipitation, future tracker 6 taking us through the afternoon, rain to the south and snow to the north for the most part and in philadelphia, a little bit a mix, occasionally you might see rain mixing in, and it gets out at 10:00 or 11:00 tonight. the models are consistent with that, as we look at road conditions begun, mainly wet along the i-95 corridor and slush and visibility is reduced along i-95, if you see the slush develop and the snow coverage, slow it down. rain is mixing with snow and more snow to the north and rain to the south. a high of just 40 tomorrow and the temperatures at the parade will be in the 30s and windchills in the 20s.

bundle up rick. high 30s on friday and 40s on sun and 40s on sunday and rain. >> thank you david.

"action news" at 12:30 continues, with rick williams, sara bloomquist, and meteorologist, david murphy.s, hello again, here are some of the stories we are following

for you on "action news" at 12:30, crews are fanning around the region for the first snow of the year. our team of meteorologists are tracking the snow to see how much will fall in your neighborhood and this is one of the biggest travel days of the year, as millions hit the roads and the rails and the sky for the thanksgiving holiday, we are live at the airport. and the latest on ferguson. what may have prevented a second night of chaos. many are seeing a mix of rain and snow, and for others it's already accumulating, it comes at a time when so many people are out on the roads leaving for the holiday or stopping at the grocery stores to pick up the last minute items, it could pan out to be a messy afternoon. it's live coverage of this holiday headache. and eva pilgram is checking out

the roads. but lets start with david murphy. >> here we are covering snow and it isn't even thanksgiving yet. stormtracker 6 live double scan with the image that future tracker 6 showed you, lots of snow in the northern and western suburbs, heavy wet snow and in philadelphia we have the mix, some lingering rain with the snow and mainly rain to the south but i want to bring in stormtracker 6 live double scan and this is one of products that shows you even precipitation, even green here, is just rain and then you look and see this pixel image here in salem. that is something different happening in the atmosphere. something here is sleet and we have reports of sleet, and given

this, will you have a problem driving, you may hear pellets driving or in the house. this is the border line where we see the rain and snow. some of the snow is heavy especially where you see the purples close to trenton and parts of northern buck county and a back to the southwest that might come in over the next couple of hours but i don't think the end comes until tonight. steven in berks county shows snow covered roads and that is an issue for you, jab on in oxford county, same thing, we have snow covered roads and it will be worse road conditions the farther north you go. karen rogers joins us now and karen you will talk about what is ahead the rest of the way. >> i love to show future tracker

6, so many people are planning a trip out for the alcohol dark this is a look at the afternoon, all the areas of blue, the mix of snow and change over from rain to snow. staying on the i-95 corridor and we advance this to 6:00 and we see the snow push in, if some of you in south jersey see sleet and no snow yet, i think the snowflakes are coming. we'll get the interior parts of south jersey and camden and gloucester and even as we look at dover, delaware, getting change from rain to snow, that will happen later on this evening for you. and then we advance this until 1:00 setting us up for a dry thanksgiving. we saw the change from rain to snow and along the i-95 corridor, we are watching the snow on i-95, it hasn't really

happened yet in south jersey, other than some sleet mixing in and mainly rain to the south. lets look at the visibility reports in the areas where it's snowing heavily, visibility is a half mile or less. here is what you can expect in the northwest suburbs, heavy wet snow and gusts of 30 miles per hour. that can bring some branches down and the chance of power outages in time for thanksgiving. here is what the snow looks like coming down in the area, a shot of the blue route, the ramp to the schuylkill, look how slowly you have to go out there, it's sticking on the road and the ramps out there. david will be back to talk about how much snow and the all important thanksgiving day forecast. >> thank you karen. a lot of people are saying this storm is coming at the worst possible time just as people hit the roads for holiday travel, or to pick up the last

minute ingredients for thanksgiving, lets go outside, a live look at the schuylkill expressway where the penndot trucks are making the sweeps and spreading the salt, penndot has dispatched trucks to the routes in edition to the contracted crews, penndot officials say they are well prepared. >> as of today woe have 100,000 tons of salt on hand and another 11,000 tons to be delivered in the father future and we have 96 municipalities assisting us on 3 thousand miles in the area. >> penndot is cautioning drivers to take extra time or delay your driving if possible. >> so how are the road clearing efforts panning out? lets head to eva pilgram, she is live in downingtown, chester county.

how the snow line set up and it's working that way. as we look at philadelphia you can see a lot of blue in there and occasionally it's full snow and every now and then it's snow mixing with rain. and sleet down to the south and this is pretty much melting on roadways in and around philadelphia. as you go into the northern and western suburbs, places where you have nothing but white, allentown and fleet wood and doylestown and landsdale, these are areas you'll see problems on the roadway into the afternoon and evening. okay. there is that closer view of philadelphia and there are the florn areas we are talking about. lets get you out to the great outdoors now, they are not so great on sky 6 hd, we have cloud cover out there. you may have noticed a breakup of the snow west of us and stay

tuned we have more on that in a moment. i showed you the stormtracker 6 live double scan where we were thinking we were seeing some sleet in parts of south jersey, here is cinnaminson, my twitter follower, dawn sent me this, you can see the snow on the grassy surfaces, it's not on the roads. 35 is your current temperature in philadelphia and winds north at 16 miles per hour. it's a bit blustery. future tracker shows you we are close to the rain-snow line in philadelphia, and i actually think we'll see the line close toward philadelphia in the afternoon. here is the back you might have noticed on radar and it looks like on the live radar we are getting towards the end of this, but not really, it will disappear and 5:00 and 6:00 we

are back in the snow and then it passes and affects briefly parts of south jersey. to the north sooner than that to the south and west. 1 to 3 inches on the ground, the thing about that some of it is hitting the ground and melting. but it looks like we'll get something like that. mainly wet roads here if you start to see slush occurring slow down, i think the road conditions are back the rest of the afternoon, and especially north of allentown and up in the poconos where we go for the 6 inch plus area. the hardest hit is the northern and western suburbs and piling up on branches and bringing trees down, on the i-95 corridor, wet snow and slushry accumulation on grass, slow down. as we take a look at the rest of the way, 33 for an overnight low, you see how we stay in the

30s. real quick, staying in the 30s, probably the mid-30s the rest of the way, brisk and chilly and windchills in the 20s and a high of 40 and we get better over the weekend. >> the turkey is looking nervous. >> tomorrow will be cold. but yeah i get it. >> of course stay on top of the changing weather situation at 6abc.com/weather, you'll fine the storm tracker 6 radar and the hourly and seven-day forecast, you can watch the latest videos and view our collection of weather related images. ♪ [instrumental music]
