snow and strong winds and icy cold. >> the storm's path is shifted and we are looking at measurable snow across the region. parts of the jersey shore are under a blizzard warning and winter storm warnings as well. in fact, the philadelphia match diocese high schools are closed tomorrow. to word on philadelphia public schools, we have closures and delays on the bottom of your screen and at 6abc.com. philadelphia is already preparing the fleet of snow vehicle as head of the storm. the streets department has 85 pieces of equipment ready to role and 40,000 tons of salt all available to treat primary and second roads and sidewalks, people need salt and shovels ready to care for their own section of the sidewalk as well. >> penndot crews are out in full force following and during the storm and 550 trucks and 110,000 tons of salt are trod go and

miles west. which really isn't a shift. and it's all track dependant and it has an impact on the snow total, a lot of winter weather alerts. first of all we have blizzard warnings, posted along the coast. and it's not really about the falling snow and along the coast is where you get the strongest winds, 35 miles per hour or more for more than three hours, it reduces visibility less than a quarter mile. winter storm warnings are posted along the i-95 corridor interior south jersey and northern delaware. this is where expecting accumulating snow less snow expected across the far north and west suburbs but some snow and winter weather advisory are posted there. this storm system will roll up the coast 200 miles off the coast. and intensifying as it does. the high of it will be during

the thursday morning commute. i think that is why the school districts are canceling. this is the storm timeline, the snow will begin pushing in from the south to the north between 10:00 tonight and 2:00 in the morning, the steadiest snow falling at 3:00 and 11:00. basically through the morning hours. the morning commute will be dangerous. tapering off late in the afternoon. the snow will stop falling and then the winds picking up. for that part of the story lets head to meteorologist, adam joseph. >> as the storm continues to deepen especially east of new england we'll chat about the cold winds to wrap in behind the will he and that low as it goes into eastern canada because the low pressure centers the winds are counterclockwise they come in with a straight shot of injected arctic air from the hudson bay into new england including the mid-atlantic as the jet stream digs way down to

the south. in fact, winds during the storm tomorrow and lasting through the entire day owe on friday. 40 to 45 miles per hour philadelphia wilmington trenton and allentown and up into the poconos. 45 to 50 miles per hour for interior south jersey and southern parts of delaware season 50 to 55 miles per hour right along the coast and that is why there is blizzard warnings there because of the strong winds that blow and drift some of that fluffy snow around. as we get into thursday night, friday and saturday night. how it's going to feel on exposed skin. it's below zero for more than 48 hours. friday morning 10 below and friday afternoon 5 below zero and 10 below and saturday afternoon. still feeling 5 below and air temperatures themselves near record lows saturday morning. within 1 degree of the old record 1896 expect them to break the old record by 2 degrees set

salt. >> outside of trenton the state department of transportation says they don't have to brine the main highways this time because there is plenty of salt residue on the asphalt from previous storms. >> if you have to drive leave plenty of extra time and slow down and be safe and if crews are working whether they are spreading salt or out there plowing give them space to do their job. >> so monica this winter's challenges continue to multiply. i'm vernon odom, channel 6 "action news" in cherry hill. you are looking at calm before the storm at philadelphia international airport major air carriers canceled or delayed flights in and out of the city tomorrow. some have waves fees and check with your carrier new plan to

water and it made me think about that. >> the manage talked about rock salt to chloride. >> i wouldn't suggest the rock salt it doesn't melt at lower temperatures and can destroy the concrete or surfaces you have. >> rock salt is nasty on pets and leaves your pavement all white. >> and the calcium chloride melts at a lower temperature and ice melt. >> other items are in stock like shovels and and space heaters are done. . we are running low and we have enough hopefully for the storm. >> and people are coming by to buy the space heaters say they couldn't find them at any other local stores either. maybe there was one left they are completely bare. as for the ice and snow removal

this year's flu vaccine missing the mark for the train going ash health officials say the time for better vaccines. ali gorman is here with more. >> reporter: we are talking about a vaccine that is based on the dna elements of the virus. the elements that don't change year to year. as of now flu vaccines are grown in eggs, and scientists will have to predict six months ahead of time which strains are covered and the viruses can change and that leads to an

ineffective vaccine and to get around that the university of washington is developing a flu vaccine using the dna of the virus that doesn't change to cover all strains. it's also delivered differently and a device called a gene gun pushes it directly in skin cells. and they create antibodies to create immunity. they are about to bin testing the vaccine in people. >> a drug designed to treat diabetes could help people with alzheimer's disease and they found that a triple receptor drug reversed memory loss in mice and may be able to help humans in the future. alzheimer's experts say the result s a results are encouraging because there has not been anything for alzheimer's in more than a decade. it warmed up but

strong is beautiful. new pantene. foam conditioner. the wintry weather in time for the accuweather forecast. >> meteorologist, cecily tynan, in the weather center now with alowser look at what will happen starting at 10:00 tonight. >> the snow is moving in and we are not bearing the brunt of this system. it's a new england storm but big enough and close enough to get accumulating snow and high winds. lets head to the "action news" weather center with this colorful map of winter alerts. i am expecting accumulating snow for most of our viewing area. and where you are really determines on what you get. winter weather advisories posted for the far northern and west communities, this is the lesser snow amounts. the closer to the coast you are the more snow you will see. the i-95 corridor and interior south jersey we have winter

storm warnings and along the coast blizzard warnings, it's not really about the amount of snow but the wind. to have a blizzard warning you need three or four hours of frequent wind gusts of 35 miles per hour or greater combined with the falling or blowing snow reducing visibility to less than a quarter mile. visibility is a big issue with this storm right along the coast where you get the strongest wind gusts. and right now temperatures are not bad we made it above freezing, 33 currently 29. amazing when 29 doesn't feel that harsh. atlanta see airport 27 and wilmington 28. but cold enough for snow. the system was in pieces yesterday and the pieces are coming together and low pressure sitting right about here 200 miles off the coast. it will track up to the north none east very quickly and there is no blocking to slow it down. intensifying as it does.

future tracker 6 showing at 11:00 tonight. it will be snowing in south jersey and delaware and extends across the western suburbs by tomorrow morning and as we head into the afternoon, it will be tapering off. really the strongest steadiest snow occurring at 3:00 in the morning and 11:00 in the morning. the evening commute the snow will be out of here. but it will be on the ground. this is what to expect. closer to the coast expecting more snow, about 6 to 10 inches along the coastline. and interior south jersey up to the i-95 corridor, 3 to 6 inches and get to the north and west suburbs it's fighting a lot of dry air and lesser amounts, 1 to 3 inches, going from as low as an inch of snow to as high as 10 inches. so location is key. behind this system future tracker 6 showing the windchills, thursday 6:30 they drop down into the single digits and gets worse by friday morning and this unbelievable. windchill close to 10 below in

philadelphia and 15 below in allentown and 30 below in the poconos and that cold air lasts into the weekend. the five-day at 5:00 showing tomorrow it's windy and snowy especially the first half of the day 26 degrees. tonights in the teens friday and saturday. and windchills below zero the whole time. saturday 20 degrees and monday up to 38 degrees with precipitation and the problem is the ground is going to be so cold we could be dealing with freezing rain we'll talk about that in the seven-day forecast. >> get ready. >> much more ahead in our next half hour of "action news." stick around we'll be right back.

"action news" continues with meteorologist, adam joseph, jaime apody, rick williams and monica malpass. hello again here is what is happening on "action news" tonight. snow is on the way and in some areas it could be significant. and could have a big impact on your morning commute. we'll have the totals coming up. plus, the entire nation is in the grips of a cold snap and some places getting snow for the first time in more than a decade. >> and now the details, winter

storm warnings now a blizzard warning is issued for part of our area and the snow is on the way and the amount you see is depending on where you live. and some areas could get up to a half foot and there are school closing s scrolling at the bottm of your screen. elizabeth herr is in new york where the same system is expected to pack a punch there. but first adam joseph with a look at the forecast. >> as we look at stormtracker 6 live double scan you can see the storm to the south bringing snow to the south and north carolina and parts of virginia and the low is getting going here and we continue to rapidly deepen as it heads to the northern and east but at the same time the northern extent of the snow it's breaking apart and a lot of dry air also on the western side of the storm, so the storm is going to fight the dry air. and the dry air is going to fight the storm itself. as it pushes up the eastern seaboard.

as we look at future tracker 6 it's close to 200 miles off our coast. this is far from a direct hit with a blockbuster nor'easter. it is still just a scrape as it passes by, once it heads into new england they are the ones that will see nearly one, two plus feet of snow and the strongest of the wins as this low passes off the coast of boston and hits northern parts of maine into late thursday evening and thursday night. as it passes by we have blizzard warning as long the shore for new jersey as well as delaware and the blizzard warning because of the combination of the snow falling and mainly the strong winds blowing around that snow. that is what a blizzard warning is, basically warranted for, it's the wind and the visibility. and winter storm warning for trenton and philadelphia and wilmington the heart of the delaware valley we see accumulating snow and less to the northern and west where there are winter weather advisories for southeastern

pennsylvania. here is the snapshot of the pro vial of winds, 50 in atlantic city and dover, near 40 philadelphia and west to reading and the wind is a powerful component and also the dangerous cold to follow. this is really going to be the biggest part of the story for us. the windchills going into thursday night into friday and saturday, and there is already a windchill for the poconos feeling close to 20 below tomorrow night. and we'll chat about the windchills coming up in the accuweather forecast. >> with the timing of this storm if you plan to get to work or anywhere tomorrow, it's important that your car be ready to handle the conditions. aaa says check your battery tonight and start-up your car and make sure it is in good condition. >> a common misconception is that cars need to be warmed up in order to run well. aaa says that cars newer than 11 years old, don't need to be

warmed up unless you want the heater going. and fill up your tank you know of know what could happen. >> tonight you want to start with a full tank of gas not knowing what tomorrow is going to bring and pack your vehicle emergency kit. nobody ever plans to get stuck. >> and make sure your tires are inflated and it's a good idea because cold weather tends to deflate car tires. and a water main break is making the cold weather tougher for reads in delaware county and impacted several surrounding communities and more than 100 reads in upper merion and west conshohocken are expected to be without water until midnight and reads in glen side are experiencing reduced pressure. and they offered a bit a break from the bitter temperatures we have been experiencing the past few days but it was still cold. and folks took the opportunity to hit the ice before the snowfalls. and others does not have a

choice when it came to spending time outside. they worked outside. the action cam spotted workers bundled up on the job. storm preps down south they are dealing with the first snowfall in 30 years. the brutal winter weather slamming the south with a rare snow storm. >> it's pretty wild. >> i have never seen palm trees with snow. >> we have never seen this much

snow every think. >> georgia and carolinas and florida under a winter storm warning with snow and sleet and ice. grounding flights in jacksonville. and closing schools and turning highways into ice skating rinks in tallahassee. victor is there. >> florida highway patrol shutting down long stretches of interstate 10 because of this. the bridges frozen over. >> in georgia with slick conditions wreaking havoc on the roads the governor declaring a state of money in at least 24 counties and officials announce heavy wind and snow in the region could create whiteout conditions. >> all of that is not a good combination and we are encouraging people not to travel unless you absolutely have to. >> a plea to the public trying to avoid earlier scenes like this in buffalo. >> you can't see a thing in

front of you. at least one person was killed and another seriously injured in a massive chain reaction crash on i-90 involving more than 20 vehicles. >> and so yes here in new york we are told that these bone dry sidewalks, it's snow covered come tomorrow morning but as adam mentioned earlier the snowfalls it's hardest hit in the new england area and officials in boston have announced area schools will be closed tomorrow. live in new york city. channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. with the chance of snow in parts of the tri-state area during tomorrow morning's commute.

the storm again that brought snow into the deep south and the storm continues to deepen and also rapidly deepen over the next 12 to 24 hours as it continues to drift off of our coastline. with this storm, it's going to bring and brought snow from florida to the carolinas and in the future all the way up to maine. so basically the entire eastern seaboard will see snow. gusty winds for 48 hours during and after the storm. bringing dangerous windchills that is the biggest thing we have to hone in on is the dangerous windchills and also challenging record low temperatures, as we head into the upcoming weekend. as we look at the numbers. 29 philadelphia, and 23 in allentown. tremendously cold for all snow and no mixture of sleet or freezing rain and the temperatures are low enough it's a fluffy snow not a heavy wet snowfall. >> satellite and radar showing the clouds coming in here

showing northern fringes of that light snow in southern parts of virginia. the storm continues again to climb up the eastern seaboard. it's strong now and a decent size. it's becoming beyond textbook material when it comes to talking about winter storms. the powerful nor'easter the pressure 1,000 millibars, pressure is the result of how much wind and how strong the wins are with the storm. as this rides to the east 200 miles and skirts off the coast of boston by tomorrow evening, just 24 hours after this particular time it will be down to a 960 millibars that is a drop of 40 millibar, the lower the pressure the stronger the winds and at a pressure that shows hurricane strength winds but thankfully this stays out in

the open waters and new england gets whack with up to 2 feet of snowfall. for us not a typical blockbuster off the coast and we get feet of snow, this is a scrape for us. 11:00 tonight snow coming in for new jersey as well as delaware and punctures i-95 after mid ni and snow for everything for the morning rush slowing down and halting at times the morning rush hour and then the heaviest snow the darker colors pull away in the afternoon and gone mid to late morning tomorrow as new england takes the biggest hit. how much to expect. you think nor'easters you think those numbers not a typical nor'easter, a scrape for us. 6 to 10 along the shore. 3 to 6 trenton and wilmington and south jersey as well as central parts of delaware, 1 to 3 for the northern western suburbs and coating to inch north and west. and the lower the number is if the drier air wins out and tries

to whip the numbers apart. the higher numbers is if the storm is farther west and we increase the totals, again here is the jackpot area. especially along the shore where we could see up to a half foot of snow. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast temperatures in the 20s for tomorrow. and snowy and windy especially if the morning. and then as we head into the weekend. 48 hours of sub zero windchills with highs in the teens. and record lows into the weekend, and dangerous cold. and sunday a high of just 20 before a pattern change occurs early next week and icy mix monday as temperatures go into the 40s on tuesday and wednesday. 33 we'll have an update tonight at 10:00 on p h l 17 and 11:00 here to see the latest. seeing if the drier air will win over the storm or not. ,000 in america last year.
