nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz here with the forecast. glenn? >> we have a rainy day today, temperatures are milder but we have a first alert for tonight, especially late tonight and into tomorrow because things are going to change pretty rapidly while you're asleep tonight. that rain changing to snow and in many cases heavy snow. it is going to be snowing for the morning rush across much of the area. and possibly heavy snow during that period, leading to the biggest snowfall of the season. most likely 4.8 inches is the biggest in philadelphia so far and we have a very good chance of exceeding that. there is a winter storm warning for virtually the entire area except for the lehigh valley and poconos, which actually is going to get less snow than just about any other part of the area. there is the path now. just patchy light rain and there isn't a whole lot more coming. so it is not going to be a real wet few hours here. but look what is back to the west. not only heavier rain but this is the snow area. that's going to arrive right along that an

chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with the forecast. glenn. >> vai, the sun is helping melt ice and snow. temperatures above freezing are also doing that. we've got a lot going on this week. the first thing that will happen is a refreeze tonight. you may want to take care of whatever ice and snow is in your way right now or at least in the afternoon while it is a little milder. we have snow and ice coming tomorrow and then we have rain coming on wednesday, and then we have snow after that. a lot going on here. it's above freezing plus the sun, plus the wind helping to dry things out. 32 constitution in redding, just barely at freezing. 30 degrees in georgetown. but the wind is picking up and we're seeing colder air come back in. we have a couple of snow flurries around but nothing too significant. back to the west though there's the next storm out there. a lot of moisture with it. it's going to start as snow and then go into ice and then rain. but this afternoon, temperatures, if anything drop a little bit. then we get that refreeze com

nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz here with the forecast. glenn, this rain will continue into the afternoon? >> especially for new jersey and delaware. it is going to be a really wet afternoon. it is cloudy across the entire area. and it is breezy and it is colder across the region. remember, we got into the 60s to near 70 yesterday. not out of the 40s today. there is the live radar showing more rain from philly southward. and it is moving right in our direction. look at this. moving from southwest to northeast. so it will be dryer the farther north and west you are. and the more hours of rain toward the shore. and delaware south jersey getting significant amount even more back there in virginia moving to the northeast. just does not look like it is going to be clearing. here is the hour by hour. you can see the more significant rain in new jersey and delaware. some sprinkles generally in the philadelphia area and some places north and west. and even by 6:00 still might be around. by 8:00 it is still around in parts of new jersey and delawar

glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here now with our forecast. glenn? >> vai, we have issues of first alert for today. this afternoon, into this evening, because we have got a triple threat here. it is relatively brief snowfall. that's not the biggest problem. accumulating sleet. those are the frozen rain drops that bounce when they hit the ground and also some freezing rain in parts of the area. it is all going to impact the evening rush today. here is the storm right now. the storm is in the blue the darker blue is the heavier snow. the leading edge already starting to get into berks county. it is back to the west and it is moving right into this direction. it is going to start as snow. temperatures are below freezing. the ground is being cold. so any untreated surfaces that snow is going to stick when it comes in here. it is not even above freezing in southern parts of our area. here is the general timing 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. the snow starts. in general, across the area not every place. but 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. that's when we're getting the changeover to s

glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with that forecast for us. glenn? >> yeah vai. continues to be unseasonably cold across the area. all the clouds aren't exactly helping. just solid overcast across just about the entire area right now. and that is really keeping the temperatures down. only 29 in pottstown and reading. 26 in mt. pocono. 33 in philadelphia. the average high is 56. we're not going to get anywhere near that today. and the warmest on the map is 36 at this hour. this is that area of cloud cover. it is not all that big. but it is right on top of us and it is thick enough to be blocking out a lot of sunshine. and at noon we're only expecting to be about 36. little bit of sun breaking out later in the day to push temperatures into the mid-40s. but that's about it. might look threatening, but there is nothing on radar, no threat of any kind of rain or snow today. different story as we head later in the week maybe a lot of rain coming. timing on that in a few minutes. >> we'll see you then. septa police are making sure their officers follow protocol when the

chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> it is going to be another chilly day. we had enough of those, huh? >> i have. >> a lot of people have. in the 40s. some showers moving through. not especially heavy today. there may be heavier ones tomorrow including some thunderstorms tomorrow evening. look how warm though near 70 in the philadelphia area for the high. may even get warmer than that in parts of delaware. not quite as warm to the north and then everybody cools down. could be some rain showers friday morning and even snow showers by saturday morning. so not exactly the end of winter, just closer to 70 tomorrow. >> you said dover will be 59 degrees at like 6:00 7:00 in the morning. >> 7:00 in the morning. >> amazing. thanks for watching nbc 10 news at 11:00. i'm vai sikahema. for glenn "hurricane" schwartz the chief meteorologist, all of us here at nbc 10, have a great day. stay warm out there. ing-in or selling your car truck or suv? webuyanycar.com takes the hassle out of selling in just 3 easy steps. one, get your free online valuation. two, book an appoi

let's talk to glenn "hurricane" schwartz what do you see? >> we don't have the line of thunderstorms yet. we're waiting for it to develop in the middle of pennsylvania and this is the area that we'll be watching and there are showers through new jersey and delaware now way ahead of this main system. so far, nothing developing other than just rain showers. look how warm it is ahead of that system. 68 in wilmington 67 in northeast philly 65 in dover. it got up near 70 degrees there. this is the futurecast as we go to 6:00 7:00 and you see that line developing and you'll get some bursts of rain gusty winds and then the temperature really drops quickly as this front moves through, but it's gone by 11:00 tonight and look how much cooler it is. we'll talk more about the timing of this system and how much colder it's going to get with the seven day in just a few minutes. >> all right, glenn. you can track the rain and storms when we're not on the air and real time radar is on the nbc 10 news app for smartphones and tab'lletlettablets. boo before we

glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with the forecast and an explanation. glenn? >> vai, especially here in the pocono mountains, it is going to be looking like winter this afternoon and evening. this is french manor. it is cloudy. but it won't be too much longer before there is some snow moving in. look at this area of snow moving right toward the poconos, also toward the lehigh valley. berks county getting involved in that. not a huge storm, but there are parts of it where it is coming down at a pretty good clip and it would certainly be reducing visibility quite a bit if anybody is driving up in that direction. very little down toward the south and east. certainly too warm for snow this afternoon and eventually we'll get some rain. 49 in philadelphia. only 44 in allentown. 35 in mount pocono. those temperatures of course are going to be dropping as soon as the snow starts to fall. and we're in the 50s farther to the south. so there is going to be a huge temperature contrast across the area. by 1:00 this afternoon, little mix of rain and snow in the allentown an

first, let me begin with chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. temperatures continue to drop. the storm continues to drop inches of snow. >> yeah it is pretty amazing and it is a wide area just about everybody is affected by this snow right now. this is a picture of center city, still able to see broad street. or is that market street? that's market street. and the road in center city generally on the wet side. that's only because there has been a lot of traffic, plow it all the time and it is not indicative of the roads in the suburbs. heaviest snow falling across a good part of the area falling slowly south. everybody is freezing up. later today and tonight. so probably want to get rid of as much snow as you can, even while it is snowing because it is going to so much colder tonight, when it finally ends. look at the area of snow covering just about everywhere even down into delaware extreme south jersey the general wind flow is right alongside the same area. there is no push to move it down to the south. that's why it has taken so long for the

nbc 10's first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with the forecast. the wind is really whipping out there, though. >> you can see the flag behind me. it is definitely whipping quite a bit. and we're seeing some fairly strong wind gusts. wind will be diminishing as we go into the afternoon, though. and the temperature, up to 47 degrees. even with that northerly wind. it is bringing in cooler air than what we saw yesterday. 40 in allentown. 33 in mount pocono. mount pocono got into the 50s yesterday, gusting to 38 miles an hour now. pretty much straight out of the north, but the air mass that is coming in really isn't that cold. it is just bringing us back to average temperatures. it is totally dry across the area. brilliant blue skies. and we're going to be seeing that for the rest of the day. the wind gradually drying -- or decreasing. breezy conditions by 3:00 and then less wind by 6:00. that wind continues to go down. but we have got rain moving in for the weekend. i'll have the timing of that with the seven-day in a few minutes. >> well pennsylvani

nbc 10 first alert meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. this could mean snow and a few inches depending on where you are. >> depending on the surface. there could be more on the grass than on the roads by the end of the day. we're issuing a first alert for this kind of messy storm that we're going to be having here. slushy snow across a good bit of the area. it will affect the morning and the afternoon rush hours and the heaviest of that snow on the pennsylvania turnpike as you will see in just a second. it looks like it's just rain but as it moves into the cold air it will turn to snow. the timeline shows that it could start between 6:00 and 9:00 a.m. in much of the area especially toward the south and west and then it becomes heavier. it becomes slushy as we go through the rest of the morning. the peak of the storm might be right around the middle of the day and in some areas it will change over to rain in the afternoon, keeping the amounts down a little bit and it could possibly end in freezing rain in parts of the area. the general amo

let's head over to nbc10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. how much snow are we talking about? >> we're talking about ranges from about 2 inches to 9 inches in our forecast. and very unusual the 2 inches in the place that generally gets the most up in the poconos. also lehigh valley probably closer to 2 inches. then bigger amounts in places that don't generally get on the higher amounts. now to 10 p.m. we've got rain. some of it on the heavy side. you go to bed, it's wet. but in the middle of the night while you're sleeping the rain is changing to snow. you wake up oh there it is. snowy and colder right during what would be the morning rush. 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. changeover lehigh valley and poconos, 1 to 3 a.m. right across the philadelphia down toward chester county. the farther south you go the later it's going to change. but the longer the snow's going to last during the day. generally speaking 2 to 4 inches poconos and lehigh valley. 4 to 7 across much of philadelphia and chester counties. 6 to 9 inches, though, northern delaware in into a g
