with the very latest from accuweather. hi, cecily. >> hi monica and rick. welcome to march march madness. we just recovered from our ice storm last night and now another winter storm is on the way. so the national weather service has issued winter weather advisories going into effect at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for new castle county salem gloucester, camden, parts of burlington county and all areas north and west including philadelphia, the lehigh valley and all of our suburbs for snow changing over to sleet and ice. icing is the main concern with the first wave of this storm system. storm tracker 6 live double scan showing this low pressure is well out to the wiest between salt lake city and den veer. there's a piece of upper level energy that will start to enhance this low and that low pressure will head up across the great lakes. so, what this will eventually do is pull in some warmer air on wednesday before colder air returns on thursday. but when that moisture moves in it's cold enough that this will begin as frozen precipitation when it first moves in in the afternoon, it will begin as snow then

changing over to sleet and freezing rain. the problem not the amounts. the problem is that this will be occurring during the tuesday evening commute. this is what to expect tomorrow morning should be fine just a little bit of a refreeze in the morning between three and 11 o'clock tomorrow night this is when we get a light around philadelphia about a coating up to about 2-inches across the lehigh valley. the problem though, is what comes after that. the ice. up to about a tenth of an inch on top of that snow so the evening commute will be very slow on tuesday. then it changes over to all rain on wednesday so we'll have some some minor issues during the day on wednesday with temperatures up into the 40's. the problem, though, a cold front along with another wave of low pressure will bring the threat of accumulating snow by thursday morning and that could cause major problems for the thursday morning commute. i'll talk more about that coming up in the full accuweather forecast. monica. >> thank you cecily. let's switch to chad pradelli live at philadelphia international airport with how the folks who work there

outside deal with the ice. good evening chad. >> reporter: hey, monica. they basically wear snow suits but then it can get warmer like it did this afternoon and they have to disrobe a bit but it's all part of the gig for some here at philadelphia international airport. >> time to go to work. >> reporter: they are the men and women who withstand elements to get from you point a to point b. the baggage handlers and mechanics on a given day 700 of them will be outside in the frigid cold at philadelphia international airport. how often can you find yourself out in the elements on any given day. >> anywhere between two to five hours. >> it's really hard for our crews to work in those temperatures. they work with a lot of equipment. it's hard to gear up and get all your clothes on, run inside take the clothes down. >> beautiful day today. >> reporter: but these workers are prepared. today they're wearing their

regular outfit with the warm sun out but when temperatures go below zero, they have what's called minus 32-degree suits. >> oh, yeah, they get it done. it keeps -- you get hot in them actually. you adapt to it. you get used to it. so you know what type of attire to wear. >> reporter: these american airlines employees say just when they get tired of the bitter cold, spring breaks and warm weather arrives but this winter has been especially brutal. >> if i was given the option to trade in it for a different climate during this particular winter i would. >> reporter: and talking with those workers all of them told me they would rather deal with extreme heat than extreme cold. i'm live at philadelphia international airport, chad pradelli, channel6 "action news." >> all right, thank you chad. our coverage of the wintry weather continues for you on 6abc.com/weather. we have storm tracker 6 radar and of course the accuweather forecast to keep you prepared for whatever winter throws your way. >> in other news, the owner of a philadelphia gold shop was

they not paying the full amount for the air bag. >> reporter: police say these air bag thieves tend to hit many cars at one time. they use spotters and troll neighborhoods looking for vehicles to target. police advise you to park in a lighted area and be aware of who is walking around especially at night. >> people in the community must take notice of who is in your neighborhood. if you think somebody suspicious in your neighborhood call 911 immediately. >> reporter: so, why are they targeting hondas? well, police tell us it's one of the most popular models to drive here in the united states. so the thieves know there will be demand for their stolen goods. authorities are looking at a ring they locked up a couple of years ago and the suspects were recently released. if you saw anything in northeast philadelphia, anything suspicious over the weekend, the major crimes unit wants to hear from you. live in mantua i'm sarah bloomquist, channel6 "action news." >> sarah thank you. philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey was in that washington, d.c. today for president obama's

agreed in order to build trust with parents but here's the caveat. the survey was main late 2012. attitudes may have changed due to the current measles outbreak. we're going to have to wait to find out until the next survey. school and health officials are keeping a close eye on sharswood elementary in south philadelphia where one student and one staffer have been diagnosed with c diff, a serious intestinal bug. both the student and staffer are being kept out of school until a doctor says they're okay to return. and the school has been cleaned in accordance with the health department guidelines. so, the school district says that sharswood is safe. in other news, if you want to lose weight you have to eat healthy and exercise and now we're finding out which kind of exercise works best for overall health. researchers at queens university followed 300 overweight people. all were asked to eat healthy but not restrict calories. then some fooled low intensity

>> time now for accuweather at the "action news" big board. meteorologist cecily tynan standing by. nice to see the sun today but short lived. >> things are going to change very quickly tomorrow but right now we're live and sky 6 taking a look towards camden, the u.s.s. new jersey. it's sunny. sky 6 moving a little bit 78 it's windy and then you can see how we are still looking at some ice on the delaware but a lot of that is melting. the combination of the march sun and temperatures above freezing means fortunately a lot of the ice today is melting as well. philadelphia it's 40 degrees. pretty nice afternoonly millville 40. allentown 37. reading 36. and wilmington 38 degrees and trenton currently 39. satellite6 along with action radar showing the system that brought us the freezing rain overnight, the icy morning has left the region. we have clear skies sunshine. the problem is that temperatures are going to be falling down to very cold levels tonight.

so anything that is still wet and untreated surfaces any slush or puddles will be refreezing so be careful. 18 degrees the low in philadelphia. allentown 10, reading 11, trenton 15 and millville dropping all the way down to 16 degrees. so, future tracker showing tomorrow morning we won't have to deal with any ice falling from the sky but with temperatures in the 20's, again there, could be some icy areas, sidewalks driveways especially. lots of clouds already in place. then as we head into the afternoon this is when the moisture moves in for our next winter storm. future tracker showing temperatures below freezing so it will be moving in as snow around 3, 4 o'clock in the afternoon. then the atmosphere begins to warm up but from higher levels. so that means bad news for the evening commute. this is sleet and freezing rain so there will be ice for tomorrow evening's commute and then as we head into tuesday night very late it begins to pull up warmer air. by 11 o'clock 35 degrees. so we get that transition onto plain rain and wednesday will

just abrainy wet day. so, this is what to expect with the first batch of precipitation tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening. most of our viewing area we're looking at a coating of snow, not a lost snow. the problem though, about a tenth of an inch of ice on top of that snow. then you get across the northern lehigh valley, northern berks county, poconos a coating to 2-inches of snow and up to about a quarter inch of ice. ice as we found out is definitely a problem. wednesday not a pretty day but temperatures in the 40's. so, we're looking at periods of on and off rain, about a half inch to an inch of rain. it's all liquid. but then wednesday night into thursday morning cold front moves through. another wave of low pressure and that will bring that changeover to snow. the big question is where does that cold front set up. it's a little farther to the south the snow will be to the south, farther to the north that line will move up to the north and i think we'll be seeing a little bit of wiggling over the next couple days and on where exactly that cold front sets up and that determines how much snow we see.

five day at 5:00 tomorrow snow sleet arriving nft afternoon 32 degrees the high. temperatures rising overnight. wednesday periods of on and off rain and drizzle 45 degrees. thursday morning snow into midday. potential for significant accumulation depending on where that cold front sets up, 32 degrees. friday it's sunny and cold 30 and saturday finally a nice weekend, sunny 45 degrees. we'll talk more about the potential for snow, how much to expect on thursday coming up in the full accuweather 7-day forecast. march madness. >> yeah. >> clearly. >> that's college basketball. much more still to come on the next half hour of "action news" at 5 o'clock. one minutes folks were waiting for their food the next minute an all-out brawl erupts inside of a new york city deli. >> power cut to businesses. we'll tell you what happened. >> an update on the llamas that took an adventure last week. the whole country was watching.

available to us. >> meteorologist adam joseph here. we had round one start of the week, now rounds two and three coming. >> two, three, four. >> are we back in february. >> i know, it's actually not as cold but it's more active. >> right. >> we're coming in like a lion that's going to roar most of the week. >> we wish your lying. >> anyway. >> i wish i was too. as we take a look at double scan live rad dar it would make my job a lot easier. this week a big challenge is on our hands. sunshine this afternoon and i hope you got to soak in some of that sun because it will not be back in full force here until friday. 36 degrees in the lehigh valley. we did hit 40 this afternoon. still around seven 8 degrees below normal for this time of year. 37 millville and dover 38 degrees. there's that wedge of clear sky that continues to expand and grow as we lose a lot of that cloud cover but again that is temporary just for tonight as clouds will quickly build tomorrow morning and we're watching the storm developing just to the west of denver in the central part of

the rockies. doesn't look impressive right now but it will gain momentum and it will also expand when you are talking about its snow sleet and rain shield as it pushes across the country. 9 o'clock tomorrow morning it's a cold start. low 20's around the region with the clouds in place. the precipitation does not break out until midafternoon tomorrow. will it first start as a brief period of snow with temperatures below freezing everywhere around 3:30 in those western suburbs but it's quickly as the snow starts falling it will transition right over the sleet and freezing rain. that you can see the lighter blue colors here with temperatures still below freezing during the heart of the rush hour tomorrow so tomorrow evening's rush not a lot of precipitation but enough to create a lot of headaches and then it doesn't change over to rain until probably late in the evening and around midnight where temperatures jump above freezing and still on the brink of the 32 degrees in the lehigh valley. again, not a lot of precip but we're looking at a coating for

most of the area tomorrow of snow before about a 10. of an inch of ice on top of that near wilmington, philadelphia trenton inteen eighty four southern new jersey and you have to head to the lehigh valley and the poconos to get about a coating to 2-inches before that ice on top of that. then bigger snow is possible on thursday but before thursday the front will be stalled over our region bringing a soaking rain for wednesday. then the question is where does the front stall when new high pressure comes in with cold air to link with the storm on early thursday morning? again, that front will be key as to who sees the most snow but right now our area, somewhere in our vicinity the best possibility for the highest snow totals looks to be between about three and six, six and 9-inches, a much less percentage for a lighter snow event and a lispers taj for a major snow event so it's before near in half foot range. the question is who will see that half foot. is it south? is it north and west? we'll have to wait and see especially tomorrow into wednesday where that front is

going to stall t the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast we'll watch for that snow and mix for the first part of the storm tomorrow afternoon and evening. then periods of rain as warmer air, winds on wednesday at 45 degrees. we could see a good half inch to an inch of rain on wednesday and then as that cold air links in, snow will break out, could be a treacherous morning commute thursday through at least midday of 32. but then we grab the sunshine back and it sticks right through next monday. friday through monday as it turns milder over the weekend back to normal near 48 degrees and we turn those clocks ahead one hour as daylight saving time begin. >> okay. >> thank you so much. more "action news" coming your way right after a break. stay with us.
