you can see it is finally accumulating here in allentown this is downtown allentown at hamilton street and seventh street. you can see these guys are out here shoveling the sidewalks you can see a lot of accumulation just in the past hour and a half. in addition to that, take look at these roadways they are getting very slushy. so that makes for slippery conditions. we've seen a number of snowplows come through here in the past hour and a half just scene so much snow accumulating that these crews are dealing with right here. we did talk to some people who were just strolling around in downtown allentown just about how the snow is affecting them. take a listen. >> i am a little concerned. i hope that the power doesn't go out in allentown and i know there's still a lot of people without power, um, i'm lucky enough to have power, but i'm hoping that it doesn't -- it's not as bad they are predicting. >> the bus service canceled today. got up at 4:00 o'clock this morning get ready for work. and get down there and they cancel. >> reporter: oh no. what are you going to do now. >> well, now i'

. >>> lets get to the northwest "eyewitness news" reporter trang do is live in allentown. are you seeing any snow yet it is hard to tell in your shot. >> would i like a mimosa please, if would you send it here downtown allentown but you guys, i think it was putting on the hat that rahel mentioned, i had to rep eagles hold on to this before it gets too warm to wear this i put on the hat and it is indeed snowing in allentown. take a lie don't know if you can show where you can see it, it is still very fine, light but definitely snow, throughout the morning we are were like is that what is that rain wintry mix? this is definitely small little perfect snow flakes. and because it is just starting to happen right now you know conditions are pretty great right here in allentown peopling about their business getting their coffee over there with no, issues at all but as lauren mentioned this is going to ramp up, as we get closer and closer to the morning rush. starting around nine or 10:00 o'clock but exciting news here in allentown. we are seeing snow here. this is why schools are

you can see it dropping past allentown.observation here there's a few wet flakes starting to mix in. we'll get the changeover to snow by midday. and winds really ramp up by lunch hour through the evening hour. that's when the damaging winds combined with blinding snow doesn't necessarily accumulate on the ground, but the visibility will be low. we'll be tracking that throughout the morning, and it's important you stay with us throughout it day because storms like this do throw curve balls, so we'll be on top of those changes each and every hour. >> good storm work by our team of meteorologists. we also have good teammates in our first alert traffic center. >> katey zachary has been monitoring road conditions and a number of crashes this morning. >> i just smiling in response to vai's comment. on a more somber note we do have a lot more issues going on. this is girard avenue where we're seeing traffic slow considerably. this is southbound traffic heading towards center city philadelphia. your drive times are reflecting the p

north of allentown through the poconos. 4 to 12 inches near allentown and great news for the ski resorts north of philadelphia 2 to 4 inches of slushy snow primarily on grassy surfaces and interior south jersey and delaware a coating to 2 inches. landsdale 2 to 4 and allentown 4 to 12. it depends on location. the main problem is the winds, we are looking at damaging wind gusts 50 to 65 miles per hour. from noon on friday up until midnight that is 12 hours with the ground saturated. that means a good possibility of trees coming down and power outages are likely. a good time to prepare now and make sure you have working batteries in the flashlights. then at the coast minor to moderate flooding and a surge u feet and flood roads and beach erosion pretty much a definite. wind and rain turning over to snow and saturd. blustery and 48es and windchills in the 30s most of the day. and winds diminish on sundaynd a quiet day. 48 degrees and 49 on monday and tuesday mostly cloudy and 49. we do it again on thursday with the storm and rain and wet snow. and dry out on thursday. clouds breaking for su

so you can see here, allentown , nothing yet. probably going to get wallopped the worse with double digit snowfall likely maybe a foot or even better, and it is the heavy wet snow. so i'll leave with you this, again, karen, thomas, two warnings: this snow causes double dangers. number one if you're shoveling , it is the heavy kind that causes cents heart attacks. i always say treat it like a hockey game. do your sidewalk in three different periods. take two long rest breaks inbetween, don't overdo it. secondly, if you've got bigger walk, and got snow blower, this is the kind that jams, and you don't want to unjam it , without shutting off with your hands. and all do you have do, i googled yesterday, looking for cartoon picture, to warn people about that, but i saw real life pictures, and some horendous us injuries from people unjam g their snow blower. do not do that today. this is that kind of snow, don't get tempted to do it. >> don't even do it with your foot if you have boots on, use the thing they give you. don't do anything

blue bell 34, allentown 35, trenton 34.oads but when it's snowing real hard and you have wind gusts to 60 miles an hour, you can't see and so it's still dangerous even if the roads are not snow covered. gusts of 53 miles an hour in dover right now. 44 in atlantic city, 43 in philadelphia and in allentown. that is pretty nasty and as we go through the afternoon we see areas of that heavier snow spreading to the south. some of it getting into delaware but delaware will get hit is least compared to other parts of our area. you also notice the temperature not going below freezing. so as soon as the snowfall lightens up you'll see more and more of it melt and then the visibility gets better but it's still windy out there so any snow is going to be blowing around all night and into the morning, not cooling down that much. so we're not going to see everything ice over and the snow is going to be melting wherever it's piling up because temperatures will be in the 40s tomorrow. it's going to be windy. we have wind gusts, 35 to 40 mi

we'll also see breezy conditions for allentown, poconos, reading, pottstown. speeds moving around 16 miles per hour. our wind speeds jump up as we head into friday morning. the first alert goes into effect at 5:00 a.m. for reading, we see speeds around 34 miles per hour, closer to pottstown, wind gusts closer to 35 miles per hour, as well. and these wind speeds stay strong through the day on friday. by your lunch hour, we're tracking wet conditions, also really strong wind speeds. it's going to be kind of miserable out there friday, especially heading home friday evening. the last thing we're watching is the potential for a wintry mix for parts of our p.a. suburbs and the lehigh valley. coming up, we'll talk more about our south jersey suburbs. we'll have that for you in another 30 minutes. >> thanks. >>> about a quarter to 5:00 now. let's look at the roads. we are watching an issue, a closure in delaware county. this is on mcdade boulevard between west south avenue and west oak lane. there's bridge for the next six months. that part of mcdade is off limits in

we look at the rainfall total, inch and a half close to allentown and philadelphia.and 3 inches or more in the poconos. over an inch in wilmington and places to the south like millville. and the winter part of the storm we have winter storm warnings in the poconos. carbon and monroe tomorrow morning and through saturday morning a winter weather advisory for parts of the lehigh valley from bethlehem to easton. this is where we expect most of the accumulating snow to really kind of pile up as we get into friday afternoon and friday night. future tracker 6 showing those areas could see anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snow in the mountains and as close as allentown and easton and as much as 3 to 6 inches of snow. we'll talk about the wind aspect of the storm and the coastal flooding coming up in the full accuweather forecast. >> thank you. meanwhile people at the jersey shore are taking the coming storm seriously and the potential for flooding is a big concern and they will watch the high tide on saturday morning and are asking residents to be ready to move their vehicle

our feels like temperature right now only 22 degrees in trenton, 19 in allentown.old start to the morning in wilmington only feeling like 22 degrees. breezy conditions for us today. tomorrow is nice with sunshine and then increasing clouds. and take a look at wednesday. that's when the nor'easter moves in. we're firming up the details on our snowfall totals. >> oh, we're taking oo look at wednesday. you can always get news weather and traffic on the nbc 10 app. >> the "today" show starts right now. >>> good morning. movies and a message. >> the mighty corhorus that is finally saying "time's up." >>> t"the shape of water" wins big at a politically charged oscars ceremony. >>> we've got the winners and surprises from hollywood's biggest night. >>> in the dark, nearly half a million people from virginia to maine still without power three days after that powerful and deadly nor'easter. crews racing to clean up with another dangerous storm set to hit this week. >>> zeroing in? special counsel robert mueller subpoenas documents from a witness directly related to id

schools are closed to day as a precaution but you can still see here this is downtown allentown, our usual, stumping grounds things are good, i know, kind of like wetness on the road is here, but, you know, so far, so good this is the calm before the storm here , so, let's send it back to you guys in the studio. >> okay, trang do looking good but we will check in throughout the morning and see how it progresses, thank you. >>> "eyewitness news" reporter pat gallen is live in chester county. >> he set up in lancaster avenue in paoli what are you seeing there it looks like it is just sleeting. >> reporter: guess what i'm seeing guys, snow? it is snowing in paoli, i am on lancaster avenue and we have seen varying degrees of precipitation, it went from a mixture, to rain and back to snow and now it is thick, gross, snow, as we pan down here and see sidewalk, you can see it starting to accumulate but it is a slushy gross mixture. just up here at route 30 is where thorndale paoli line is for septa stop, so if you are taking that today just know there is a modified schedule, the winter stor

it looks to be dry in allentown, and south jersey. it will take a while for this system to get going. by 9:00 could you see light rain and wintry mix over philadelphia. overnight we'll have more widespread pretiptation and that will set us up for a messy commute for wednesday. as we get into the afternoon, that's when we start to see the steady, heavy snow coming dund our temperatures also dropping. cold enough to support the snow, especially for parts of allentown, reading, pottstown, philadelphia still close to mid-30s around noon but that rain/snow line continues to sink to the south so millville at noon will see a chance of of a wintry mix. this continues through your evening commute. 6:00 we have steady snow from mount holly, philadelphia, pottstown, allentown and a rain/snow line gets all wait down to atlantic city. parts of the show like cape may could only see rainfall with this system, you, but we will still see wind speeds close to 40 miles per hour as you're trying to get home fro work. the next thing you'll see right aroun

we have a 32 miles an hour wind in philadelphia, 25 in millville, 29 in allentown, 22 in lancaster. the wind will keep up overnight and even during the day. gusts at least 25. look at the current snow cover, not much to the west. this storm is going to change that, we have an area of low pressure that blizzard conditions in dakotas. and will that will move through chicago and redevelop off the cost. where exactly where it redevelop, we call this a miller type b storm. thigh area of low pressures, this one goes away and then moves up eastern sea board. not a lot of cold air, we will start off with rain and change over snow who gets the most. rain shower looks like possibly three to six inches of snow, who gets the most snow is still going to be up in the air, depending on where that storm lines up. timing is tuesday night into wednesday. so wednesday looks like the stormy day, the storm is out by is that your signature, tracking the midatlantic coast through the philadelphia area, temperatures borderline once again 30's and 40's. with temperatures falling when the storm moves away. t

allentown, low start. same thing for quaker town, reading, 32 degrees.be chilly out especially with our wind speeds gusting strong although our actual temperatures will be closer to the mid-as we go into the afternoon. expect temperatures by 4:00 in philadelphia, 43 degrees, 44 in pottstown, low 40s in allentown. same thing for parts of toms river. nice quiet day but big changes on the way. for now let's check in with jessica boyington for a

he has disgraced his office and cheated the people of allentown. >>> it is raw, it is rude on a march morning. that's exactly what we're facing. this is very dynamic which means it's different from neighborhood to neighborhood and hour by hour. >> that's right. brittany. >> first thing we're seeing heavy rain. and second thing we're going to go bee seeing are wind speeds pick up. the second part is blowing snow, and this is going to happen right over your evening commute. you can see the time stamp there, 8:00. and now we're dealing with blowing snow. it'll start a little bit before then as well. and once the system pushes away from us the last thing we'll be dealing with heading into tomorrow morning is coastal flooding. we'll start with what we're seeing right now and that is heavy rain right over trenton. everything is shifting now here to the east. and next thing we're going to be watching is closer to wilmington where we're slowly starting to see that cool air moving in. and on the radar right now we're seeing the possibility of a switchover from rain to a bit of wet snow. if you

lancaster, 45. 46 philadelphia, 49 dover, 45 toms arrive and allentown, the lehigh valley, 42-degrees. dry on monday, and for the first half of tuesday, we get to tuesday afternoon into wednesday, tracking potentially another system that wants to set up across the region, starting as rain. there could be snow wednesday for parts along way away tracking for the middle laugh of next week. in the poconos, a lot of rain. not as windy tomorrow, breezy, and 46 for the high. sunshine and clouds for monday,. tuesday, 47. turning cloudy tuesday afternoon. rain late tuesday continuing late into tuesday with wet snow north and west. if anything changes, we'll keep you posted. 44 for the high, temperatures in the 40s, as we get to next thursday into next weekend, walter. >> spring is coming. >> eventually. >> thank you, melissa. cherry blossom lovers that flock to see them are in for a treat. they expect blooms to peak between march 27-30th. they are considered peak bloom when the blooms are open. the capital weather gang predicts that take between the 23rd and 27th, still ahead of schedule. >> i

allentown down towards pottstown not seeing a whole lot. if you're closer to philadelphia, we're seeing a steady snow coming down here. last check on some of our cameras, it is not accumulating in philadelphia on the roadways. but with the wind starting to pick up, our visibility is going to go down throughout the day. starting to ea rain-snow mix and snowfall. atlantic city, cape may, we're all seeing rain right now. the roads will definitely be impacted and they already are. for a closer look at that we'll check in with jessica boyington. >>> starting off on the schuylkill expressway and our cameras on route 202, i guess because there is some white off into the shoulder and trees you can see it. it's going to be the on and off-ramps going to be the trickiest spots to get through this morning. the majors are being worked on and pretreated as well. and in pennsauken township all lanes are closed right there, and super slow because of the northbound ramp, route 130 is blocked and trying to head to 130 southbound, you can't do that either bec

not too bad. 17 in pottstown, 17 in allentown.ou start to see these winds stepping up. 24 in pottstown. also notice the rain/snow line starting to collapse down to the south. so that's your change over. doesn't mean it'll stick right away, but that means your visibility will be reduced by snowflakes. by lunchtime today the change over to snow all the way to montgomery county right now, wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. as you can see 50, 60, 65 miles per hour possible along with blowing snow. the morning commute in many areas, it's do-able. the evening commute will be a real tough one here especially with the strong wind gusts and snow. down at the shore again we have multiple threats going on. this go around we're talking about the rain and the wind. so the rain moves out as you can see here during the morning hours it lightens mup. this is an hour by hour situation. these storms are very dynamic. just be careful here. we may see reduced visibility even down at the shore as we get down to this evening. and we're looking at wind

allentown same thing.lin and new jersey 39, the actual high with the feels-like temperature of 32 degrees. our satellite radar shot showing us we are seeing lots of clouds here. if we wind out the picture, there's the system. it's still bringing a little bit of snow to boston but it's losing its steam and it's power. hour by hour breakdown shows a little chance of a few snow flurries tomorrow morning and then once again near reading and allentown tomorrow at 1:00. this should be short lived. it's possible we could see more moisture lingering until about 4:00 but it will be very light. the next thing we're watch saying few different hod models track the potential for another nor'easter. this is one model and it shows us with snow here around 230 near philadelphia, parts of south jersey stretching to cape may but then quickly moving aweigh. the next model shows this system moving up as well around 1:30 so it brings it in a bit earlier and shows us with lippingering snow chances through monday evening and may

area near allentown and pots town. that heavy snow is still coming down in philadelphia, northeast philly, mount holly, trenton, doylestown and that mix starts to make its way to atlantic city but it's just too warm. we'll continue to see lots of moisture moving through at least through 4:00. but you start to see more pink in there, that means the system is going to start breaking down and pulling away and we'll get warmer air moving in. for a closer look at some of the currents right now, we'll take you there i a few cameras. steve. >> we're seeing conditions deteriorate depending on where you are. so in philadelphia, you're waiting for that wall to arrive and it's right across the river there in new jersey. but take a look at shot i'm about to show you right now out of wilmington. we've been watching that wall of snow come up from south to north and this is what we we are talking about. it's the rate of snow at which will come down once that wall arrives. you can actually watch the vi visibility just drop before our

allentown, 34. same for northeast fophilly, philadelphia above freezing. 32 in wilmington. 36 in wildwood. the feels-like temperature, although toward the afternoon we'll push to the 40s, feels-like temperature starting off at 26 degrees. it feels like the low 20s in wilmington. feeling like 23 in pottstown and 27 in allentown. this will continue as wind speeds stay strong throughout the day. even though we'll warm into the 40s. the feels-like temperature staying in the low 30s. keep that in mind as you dress and leave the house. a closer look, lots of clouds today. staying nice and dry. the nor'easter continues to bring snow to parts of boston. we could see little bursts of snow tomorrow in the afternoon. nothing like what we saw yesterday. it's in the forecast, so you're not caught offguard. the next thing we're watching is a potential nor'easter sunday night into monday. overnight sunday into monday. a few models disagree on how much we'll see and the track of the system. it is in the forecast, w

the rain in allentown will build into the region, a little bit of a lull right now. the snow in the poconos is on its way down. let's take you to sky6 live hd we have cloudy skies you can see the camera bouncing as we had wind gustsn parts of the region up in the 30s and up in the 50s before we are done today. degrees in philadelphia. sustained winds 17 miles per hour winds gusting 20 to 30 miles per hour in philadelphia. some spots going higher that thn that. you're feeling the effects the winds. we have snow in areas to the west, there's that likelihood we'll see light snow mixing in around here, as well, later this morning and this afternoon. up in the lehigh valley, snow and high winds, temperatures in the low 40s, holding there through most of the day, uncomfortable certainly temperatur shore, we're stuck in the low to mid 40s, tidal flooding is an issue. numbers in philadelphia, we may dip in the upper 30s today. the winds gusting 50 to 55 miles per hour. of course that precipitation off and on throughout the day, every now and then it could be heavy to wet sno
