degrees in philadelphia currently, 28 in wilmington, 25 in allentown, 23 in trenton, 27 in sea isle city. future tracker 6 showing you that over the rest of the morning hours we expect that snow to continue to shift over toward the east. by 11 o'clock most of this should be done with it, the exception might be in areas around trenton and then later in the afternoon it's not only done but as i said the clouds may break for a little bit of sun. snowfall amounts, we are obviously dropping these totals and yesterday i showed you two maps. one with the storm really intensifying right off our coast in which case some of these heavier bands were right in philadelphia and then we showed you how we might have to move the bands farther up the coast if the storm intensified later. not only did that happen but we also had a slot of dry air coming down through philadelphia in much of the overnight hours and that's why we're easing back on snowfall totals. little or nothing out in the western suburbs, one to four possible in and around philadelphia over to trenton although i think the 4-inches is probably a b
