east coast snow storm, but there are a lot of unknowns still. does that storm hug the coast, a stronger storm that means mixing along the shore, but will it be farther to the east, but a weaker storm, the strength and movement is really key, that storm ace tim really bombs out and intensifies quickly and is slow and could stall than means hours and hours of snow. a weaker storm more progressive and faster, with lower snow amounts, something to consider, a warm ocean how much of that warmth is pulled inland, and mixing moving towards the i-95 corridor and where is the location of snow, and the euro model one of the most reliable, that means the heaviest snow is over virginia, that is just one model, these are what we are looking at, heavy snow threat

and high winds and high icing and extreme cold but cold enough for snow, adam joseph will have the all the details in the full accuweather forecast. >> with the potential for snow this weekend road crews could be called into action for the first major storm of the winter, and people are hitting hardware stores to make sure they have what they feed. john rawlins continues our coverage at lafayette hill with the latest. >> reporter: hi sharrie, folks here at the true value, say that those of us are paying attention to what could happen at the end of the week to battle snow if it indeed arrives. as for the professionals they are ready. at h&m in plymouth meeting are keeping an eye on the weather, making sure all of thursday snow

you. time now for a check of accuweather forecast. lets send things over to adam joseph a busy man. >> you should see my desk, there are papers everywhere with scribbles of what could or could not happen. you look outdoors, the camera is bouncing around and the wind continues to funnel in from the westerly direction pulling the windchill values down, the latest gust in philadelphia 30, and even the shore in atlantic city, 36 miles per hour this is some 36 hours now we are dealing with the very strong winds and the windchills remain in the teens, low teens to the west and middle teens philadelphia and at the shore anywhere from 11 and 16 degrees. satellite and radar, a few fair weather cumulous clouds try to break south of interstate 80 but fell apart. we have bone dry air, not much

moisture locally and it will stay quiet all the way through the end of the week, lets say the middle to latter part of friday. it's clear and cold and the brutal windchills continue. factor in the winds that remain strong all night long and bring windchills of 9 in reading and 7 in lancaster and 10 in dover and 13 in trenton the only spots below 0 is in the poconos in the mountains and tomorrow afternoon better, windchills 27 and philadelphia 27 and wilmington. so at least we are moving in the right direction with the numbers going up instead of down, then we are chatting about the late week snow storm, the nor'easter, all the energy, a couple of pieces of energy, moving south of san francisco, a potent piece of energy from san francisco and

the two of these collide as they move across the country into the deep south, and develop another storm, in the eastern part of texas, that doesn't happen until 4:00, showing a little bit of precipitation, breaking out from memphis to texas to wichita, then as it moves across theteen valley it spreads the snow to the north and east and transfers to the coast to develop that nor'easter, and this is noon on friday, the band of snow is just to the south and west of washington, and the snow not expected to arrive here, after the kids are home on friday, and sometime in the evening rush on friday. if you look at the four day at 4:00, increasing clouds as a weak piece of energy rolls by and 36 and beautiful, and mostly sunny on thursday and friday and saturday is the days to watch for this nor'easter, as we look at friday afternoon and evening snow breaking out again it looks

later in the afternoon at this point. 34 degrees and saturday staying at 34 so we are flirting with freezing here and that means more of a pasty wet snow and even mixing or changing to rain depending on the track somewhere south and east of the philadelphia, but there is still so much to ingest and figure out with this storm and we'll continue to do that this evening. >> thursday is when we start to have more idea. >> we so know more tomorrow and nail it down by thursday. >> thank you. parents fight back against a plan to make changes to a local elementary school, and coming up there are all kinds of gadgets to give you a better night sleep but is it worth breaking the bank to do it. we'll put the options to the test. >> coming up in big talkers, she is only 18 years old but inspired people across the globe, malala is inspiring

had to be removed from this wreckage but the crash is moved to the side here and some traffic is squeezing by and two people we were told were transported to area hospitals. and the overturned tractor trailer is still blocking traffic on the northeast extension of the pennsylvania turnpike, this is in the southbound lanes in souderton, those lanes are closed right now, the tractor trailer was carrying fruit and all of that spilled on the roadway and the driver was taken by medevac and matt pellman will have more coming up shortly. oscar winner, jaime fox jumped to the rescue helping to pull a man from his burning car. >> the 35-year-old driver crashed in front of fox's home in los angeles, his car flipped and burst into flames, fox is one of two people that rushed to the scene and broke the window

good. >> i have a proposal. i'm going to make it crystal clear, stay far away from the northeast extension this afternoon. what a mess, if you try to come south it's going to be a fruitless effort, because a truck overturned carrying fruit and the good news is, the truck is now upright and that is progress from the last half hour. the bad news is, all the southbound lanes of 476 the northeast extension remain closed. this is the scene 3 mile as approaching the landsdale inchange and all traffic is forced off at the quakertown inchange, as you come to the lehigh valley, you can get to quake town and then hit a jam on the way and 663 is also jammed. off 778 from allentown come down 309 and deal with the lights, it's not great but better than being stopped on the northeast

extension. and we showed you this a bit ago, a crash on the southbound lanes of 95, they have the right lane blocked but now it's open and slow from 413 and all the lanes are back in business. the same cannot be said of i-95 in delco, a crash near curlin street and that means traffic is barely moving from the state line to curlin, and a crash in delaware 134 northbound at kirkland highway. >> thank you matt. ac warren is coming up next. since 1961, pearle vision has provided the neighborhood with expert eye care. that was dr. stanley pearle's vision and we still proudly carry on his legacy. today, doctors like lisa hamilton perform

all right meteorologist, adam joseph, there is a lot of data to crunch and it will continue to change. >> and we should be getting better data through the model s

now that the energy entered the united states. it can spit something out better that will come late tonight. as we look at double scan live radar all is quiet and just very cold today, today much like yesterday and we'll turn the corner tomorrow to bring the windchills back into at least the 20s. right now 15 and allentown and trenton 16 and 12 in wilmington and teens even at the shore. satellite 6 along with action radar it's quiet at the east coast and a system in the nation's heartland and that will come to the east and clouds thicken up tomorrow and any moisture will fall apart as it moves into this bone dry, arctic air. tonight clear and cold and winnie and the winds remain gusty out of the northeast direction and the air temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees feel more like the single digits through much of the overnight hours, especially north and west

of the philadelphia, and then tomorrow we start with sun and the clouds thicken up in the afternoon and it feels a whole lot better than the last two days but windchills will also be in the upper 20s, as we track the energy across the country we are looking at 20,000 feet in the atmosphere, you forecast and you can't just look at where we live and work and play, we have to look 20,000 feet up as well. here is the energy pushing into the pacific northwest, that tracks and pushes down to the south into texas and grabbing moisture in the gulf of mexico and you can see how we don't have a complete circulation yet of this energy, the ball of red, once it reaches the east coast, it cuts itself off and becomes a large entity of energy and wraps around and they develop a nor'easter off the coast, this is 6:00 saturday morning, when that happens, the question

becomes exactly where does the energy track and transfer that energy to develop the nor'easter, the track at this point, highly uncertain, if it's certain and hugs the coast the heavier snow is north and west of the i-95, a snow to a mix of rain to the southeast, if it's weaker and offshore, the heaviest snow would be south and east of the philadelphia and a sharp cutoff to the north and west where some areas in the viewing area could get little snow, if we are taking all the information as of today right now and this storm was to come tonight and tomorrow, we are looking at philadelphia specific, looking at a moderate 6 to 12 inches a 40% chance, that is the highest chance right now, not far behind that, 12 to 18 inches but a light amount and crippling amount more than 2 feet of snow very small chance at this point that that storm is

moving in our direction. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, clouds increase tomorrow and lots of sun on thursday and 36 and highlighting friday and saturday, the snow comes late on friday afternoon, look at the marginal temperatures it's a wet snow for areas on saturday and blustery cold on sunday and back above normal monday into tuesday and every newscast will have another update and also on social media, if you heard major storm 2 to 3 feet no. >> thanks adam. what is the deal is coming up next. winter is hard on your nose.
