on "action news" tonight. as for the snow and wintry mix, the worst may be over, but it's been a long haul and the second phase goes through much of tomorrow. and that would be rain. a winter rain. around this time of year, more and more people start dreaming

of springtime, and one of those persons is sitting at this desk. hey, what can i say? monday night, the big story is double scan radar. and the system that brought us know today is moving east. it is what is behind that that brings us the messy day tomorrow. and we have the latest on current conditions, but first we get the latest from accuweather double scan radar and meteorologist cecily tynan. >> jim, the storm system not done with us quite yet. the accumulating snow is over, ending a few hours ago. double scan live not a lot of white, but what you see a lot of especially north and west of i-95 is blue. this is freezing rain, and we have patches of heavier freezing rain moving through doylestown and another heading towards berks county. it is changing over to rain really across the interior south jersey and at the coast. with the cold air hanging on at

the surface, freezing rain advisory has been posted for delaware, all the counties surrounding the i-95 corridor and the suburbs including the lehigh valley and berks county until 2:00 in the morning. the reason why, cold air is very heavy and dense. what we have happening, we have the warmer air riding above the colder air, the atmosphere has to warm from the top to the bottom. wildwood is 46 degrees. but in reading, it's 20 degrees cooler. that warmer air will slowly erode towards the northwest and warm everything over to plain rain. and then we have drier air moving in overnight. what to expect tonight, it will be all rain across the board. by 3:00 in the morning. temperatures continue to warm. by dawn, around 50 degrees. so i don't think we'll have any problems with the icing for the morning commute. kids, you are going to school. drizzle the morning rush, and a second part of the system bringing us high winds and heavy

rain that could cause flooding. the details on that in the full accuweather forecast. >> thank you. let's go live to chad pradelli in oaks, montgomery county. what is the situation in the northern and western suburbs? >> well jim, the rain or freezing rain picked up in the last hour. 10:00 we really had no precipitation. i want to show you down here, this is an untreated parking lot and you can see some of the snow from earlier this evening. now it's getting that crust from this frozen rain that is beginning to fall here. that behind me, that road behind that route 422. we have been watching the traffic from this vantage point and it is moving along nicely. but it looks like people are slowing down just a bit. we were out around the delaware valley, drivers need to use caution. tonight mother nature hit us with a dose of winter. the storm with a bit of
