since his original tweets on march 4th. let's get back to the accuweather forecast metrologist cecily tynan it's going to be very very difficult up in the lehigh valley clearly, philadelphia and the immediate northwest suburbs get less but a storm. >> lehigh special and the ski resorts in the poconos will love it and heavy rain in the coast and philadelphia is in between with snow and sleet and double scan showing the precipitation has arrived right now where you see the pink that is the snow that is falling at a more moderate pace and we do have some of that in south jersey right now millville, salem you had one band move through, midford lake and around the coast surf city to atlantic city and the ocean is 41 so that really does play into this forecast. it's going to be rain along the coast but be do have a lot more on the way as the storm system intensifies and further to the north we do have heavier bands moving through lebanon,
2:04 am
philadelphia still pretty light even a little bit of grapple mixed in and temperatures beginning to drop and philadelphia down to 30 degrees allentown 28, wilmington 29, millville 30 and along the coast and again with the ocean temperature 41 cape may 37 degrees atlantic city airport it's 34 so that is pulling the warmer water off the atlantic. satellite and radar showing the storm system is really in its infant stages and low pressure off the carolina cost and a piece of energy moving in from the midwest and also a piece of energy moving from the deep south so these really will combine to pull in plenty of moisture and as it intensifies it will also be pulling down colder air from higher in the atmosphere so this is why areas north and west are going to see some pretty heavy snow future tracker showing 3:00 in the morning we have heavy snow around philadelphia areas north and west that rain across south jersey and delaware a little bit of sleet close to wilmington as we head to about 7:30 looks like
2:05 am
that rain-snow line really creeps up to right along the i-95 corridor so philadelphia we are looking at snow and sleet south jersey delaware it's rain and far northwest suburbs it's snowing it's pretty heavy then as the storm system starts to lift to the north and east we get that wrap around cold air. by 11:00 that change over starts to happen around philadelphia with the sleet east of philadelphihia heavy bands stil across the lehigh valley by 4:00 it tapers off to snow showers so expected snowfall the lehigh valley the poconos northern berks county you are getting a lot of snow, 16-24" and then we have a very tight gradient south of that, north of philadelphia 12-16, we move philadelphia the immediate suburbs into south jersey into the 8-12 to allow for a little bit of the sleet mixing in and a brief change over to rain but south of this 4-8 bridgeton and hammerington and millville 2-4 but most of this happens before that change
2:06 am
over to rain, that rain will wash it away. the problem along the coast will be the fact that we are looking at very strong winds 50-60 miles per hour winds coastal flooding and beach erosion and an inch and a half of rain and exclusive accuweather forecast power full nor'easter and behind the system it's windy and cold for wednesday some snow showers 29, temperatures still cold, thursday and friday we are stuck in the 30s so this will be a slow melt by the weekend temperatures back in the 40s, 43 on saturday, sunday 46 and monday mostly sunny with a high of 48 degrees. so this is a storm system much like actually march of 93 when some areas got heavy rain, some areas got very heavy snow and of course we will continue to track it early tomorrow morning starting at 4:00. >> thank you cecily. >> fire tragedy struck this afternoon and dosed the smoke and flames in a two story home,
