>> meteorologist melissa magee in for adam has the very latest on the forecast. first day of spring. >> oh, boy. >> might as well stay home, stay inside. >> i mean, you can put the shovels away. it won't be that bad. wet snow across the region but something you certain don't want to see for the first day of have inc. >> not so much. >> storm tracker6 live double scan radar you can see it's dry and no issues with precipitation. but as we get into the day on

sunday the picture will likely change as we'll be track something rain, some mixed precipitation and some wet snow across its delaware and lehigh valleys. officially our high today on this friday climbing up to 64, so well above average. right now 63 in the city, 49 in the poconos, 60's for reading and lancaster. cape may can coming in at 56. here's satellite6 along with action radar. we have a frontal boundary draped to our north and because of that we do have a fair amount of cloud cover overhead and a spotty shower from time to time as well. this front will dip to our south and east as we go throughout the rest of tonight and that will help to establish some cold air just in time for the arrival of this snow for the first day of spring. so the call from accuweather for the rest of tonight turning clear brisk and colder, 38 in philadelphia for the overnight low. we'll drop down to 28 degrees in the suburbs with that northerly wind as that high pressure sinks southward across the region. all eyes on our system that we're tracking as we get into the weekend. a very weak and unorganized

area of low pressure across the southeast that this will work its way eastward. it is going to transfer its energy to a developing nor'easter and that's going to work its way into the midatlantic region as we get into sunday. so future tracker6 showing you for the start of the weekend tomorrow no issues. 9 o'clock in the morning fair amount of sunshine overhead. sun giving way to increasing clouds at 5 o'clock in the evening tomorrow. you notice a little bit of some light rain showers to the south of philadelphia. as we go throughout the day on sunday, however, it's going to take that moisture to push northward and so by noon on sunday you have that snow for philadelphia and areas to the north and west a little bit of mixed precipitation just to the south of that 95 corridor but it's rain for areas in jersey and also central delaware as well. we'll continue to go through the early half of the evening hours on sunday. you notice that snow still for the city points to the north and west. temperatures, though, are quite marginal as the bulk that of precipitation will be falling during the day light hours and then we have that rain for south jersey into tell wear and on the backside

of the system as the snow tapers from a west-east direction there might be snow on the back end of this for areas south of philadelphia. so possible snowfall overall a general one to 3-inches for burlington gloucester camden counties for that 95 corridor points to the north and west and then as i mentioned on the back sides of the storm system as it pulls away perhaps a coating to an inch for areas in south jersey and central delaware. something to keep in mind as we get into the weekend and some key take away points is that the bulk of this precipitation, the bulk of the snow will be falling during the day so there will be a lot of melting going on and this will mainly take place on the grassy surfaces. temperatures for the most part will be above freezing. minimal travel impacts and because the snow is coming during the day and we're speeding up the arrival of the snow, the snow looks to be on the smaller side. not heavy accumulations. we're not tracking that this time. the accuweather forecast showing you sun to clouds tomorrow, high up to 48. wet snow to rain south and east and sunday a high of 38. and sunday by the way, hello

spring. it arrives at 12:30 in the morning. increasing daylight and temperatures so once we get rid of the snow we're back up to 46 on monday. tuesday 49. 64 on wednesday. spring feeling on thursday. saturday and 71 for good friday. so we're just tracking that snow guys as we get into sunday. doesn't look like a big deal. >> thanks melissa. >> you got it. >> we'll take a break and be right back. pet moments are beautiful,

unless you have allergies. then your eyes may see it differently. only flonase is approved to relieve both itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray can say that. when we breathe in allergens our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance.

flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. complete allergy relief or incomplete. let your eyes decide. flonase. 6>1 changes everything. >> jim gardner and the "action news" team standing by with these stories and more next at 6:00. brand new information about the raid that captured the mastermind of a paris terror attack. >> a army homeless veteran moving into a house of her own thanks to a group of south jersey contractors. a demolition will force some people to evacuate their homes. we've got details. >> for adam joseph melissa magee cecily tynan ducis rodgers jaime apody rick williams the entire "action

>> ♪ >> "action news." delaware valley's leading news program. with ducis rodgers, meteorologist cecily tynan and jim gardner. >> ♪ >> it is friday night and the big story on "action news" tonight is the developing story from accuweather. we're about to see a dramatic change in our temperatures and for much of the area, we will have to endure snow on the first day of spring. meteorologist adam joseph is live at the big board.

what you'll get depends on where you live. >> exactly and the timing is key as well especially when you're talking about march snow because when it falls during the day it has a very hard time accumulating and that's something we're going to experience the second half of the weekend but right now as we look at satellite and radar, we have a cold front to our north. that fronts has brought some clouds in here this afternoon. a couple of sprinkles up in the lehigh valley but this is going to bring a drop in temperature and set the stage for some snow here especially the second half of the weekend. it is 63 in philadelphia right now. very warm way strong wind out of the west ahead of this front. 37 in syracuse, 36 in burlington and those winds will continue to funnel in out of the north tonight and throughout your saturday. excuse me. as we look at double scan live radar down to the south we have a piece of energy near saint louis. we also have moisture in the gulf of mexico. these two will come together and it's going to develop a low just off of the carolinas which will deepen its way,
