meteorologist dave murphy. >> all right, guys, here we go.didn't get a whole lot of snow overnight and right now as you look at the wide view on radar there's a little bit of rain coming up from the south. there's also going to be a little bit of additional snow popping in later this morning and look at how broken a pattern we're looking at. the first round of snow overnight was only about a coating to a half inch in most places. and we're going to look at little hits of this continuing off and on through the day perhaps getting a little steadier late in the day and this evening. there's the wide view with cloud cover and obviously we're socked in by the clouds as well. that's what happened overnight by the way, just that little sweep and not a whole lot coming down from that. having said that, temperatures across the region are close to or below freezing from about i-95 north even down into parts of central south jersey. so, whilely treated roads, anything that was pretreated with brine last night certainly did okay in the coating to half in

let's head over right now to dave murphy and karen rogers.d morning. >> all right, guys, well, we are starting out fairly dry across the region. we had a little bit of very light snow overnight. there's not much on the ground most neighborhoods. a lot of you just looking at a coating to half inch so far. a hint of more coming up out of baltimore but nothing super active. last night we had in the evening hours and overnight hours a little bit of light snow that popped through. just about everybody saw some of this. it started out as rain and changed over to snow as temperatures dropped last night but again low impact stuff and anywhere where the roads were pretreated i don't think you'll find anything on those roads this morning other than just moisture. 32 degrees in philadelphia currently though and 32 in wilmington. so, if you're in and around millville up and down the i-95 corridor this afternoon points north you have temperatures below freezing which means if you had anything fall on untreated surfaces like sidewalks or side streets maybe

let's get going with dave murphy and karen rogers. good morning. >> good morning, everybody.e'll starter off with storm tracker6 live double scan. we had one round of overnight snow showers that are gone and they only deposited about a coating to maybe a half inch in some spots overnight. certainly not enough to cause you major problems on roads especially where roads were pretreated. now we have a second round beginning to pop in. it's a little wet snow mixing with rain down in cumberland county new jersey, parts of cape may and atlantic county and also in parts of kent county delaware. everywhere elsewhere it's a little bit cooler we are looking at snow but again it's light and pretreated road surfaces should be for the most part okay. i'd be a little careful on sidewalks and some of those secondary roads there might not have gotten the brine. there you see what happened overnight. just a sweep of snow coming through, not a lot. there is more gathering to the south and we are still looking at sort of choppy off and on light snow shower. temperatures are down close to or bel

dave murphy i'm not looking forward to pickup time this afternoon. think it's going to be a little drenched. karen rogers also has your traffic. good morning. >> well, it does look like through the day we're going to be dealing with some off and on rain. some of it could be steady and then late in the day and tonight some strong gusty thunderstorms and downpours are possible. for now, it's fairly moderate rain pushing to the north and really starting to break up to the south. so, we are going to get into a little bit of a lull. for now in places like reading montgomery county parts of chester county, philadelphia there's pockets of steadier precipitation. behind that you can see how for the rest of the rush hour we're probably in and out of relatively light rain. eventually though this heavier stuff will start to push in and the heaviest rain of all will probably be in the evening hours. visibilities a little bit low. we're under a mile in dover and the weather service has been warning of some pockets of fog down close to the coast. most of our visib
