if you are in southern delaware you are not getting anything.in mind when we're looking at radar you see white it doesn't necessarily mean it is snow as it reaches the ground but it has to go through several layers of the atmosphere. temperatures are in the 40's this morning. if you see snowflakes in chester or lancaster county don't be surprised we are expecting a change over to snow in the poconos mountains and decent accumulations to the north of us. that has not happened just yet we will see dry slots as we have banding of the rain but it is raining here in the city right new and very light rain at the shore as steve has shown you it hasn't gotten into full capacity just yet. checking winds to get started because wind is a big part of the storm, we have sustain wind of 29 miles an hour in dover, delaware, wind sustain at 17 miles an hour, windy here with a 26-mile an hour wind gust, 40 miles an hour in dover but this hasn't got tone where it will be either. we have a high win warning in effect for wind gusts potential of 60 miles an hour. yo

and some through southern delaware. the rain in the afternoon is a nuisance variety. and we have is a number of issues over the next 24 to 48 hours. first of all a flood watch in philadelphia and areas north and east. where the heaviest rain sets up. coastal flood watch in effect and high wind watch everywhere and more on all of this in a second and a winter storm watch in the poconos. most of us see rain there will be significant snow up there tomorrow. the first thing is the coastal flood watch and this thing kicks in this evening and goes through tomorrow evening. that is basically three high tides to give you minor coastal flooding and maybe moderate flooding. here is the flood watch philadelphia and montgomery county and camden county and points north and east. this is where the upper level support for heavier rain is at its worst and not only tonight but tomorrow and tomorrow evening. and then a high wind watch. this appears to be turn nood a warning in parts of the region. and the general idea is from allentown to wildwood, friday tomorrow into saturday. you'll

closer to dover, central parts of southern delaware, still a little twenty-two warm, cay may, atlantic city, all starting to see rain. a lot of the area is going to be dealing with heavy snow, and it's important to remember a few things about heavy snow. number one, it's dangerous to shovel. it's really heavy. you want to be careful with that. it's difficult to drive. damage to power lines is a possibility, tree limbs coming down. the only thing it's great for is to make snowballs, which will make a lot of the kids happy today who are staying home from school. >>> we're trying to visit different neighborhoods every time i come son. that's a look at cape may, and it's a wet camera view and wet roads. and that's pretty much what we'll be sticking through in y cape may. let's look at our future cast models. it's starts as rain this morning, pause it, and there's that rain snow line but not over the shore. it's just rain. in fact, as we get into the afternoon hours, this is lunchtime, we're starting to see pockets of red, that could be possible thunderstorm weather. we are going to be look

and into the northern portion of delaware, even now starting to see a band of snow forming in southern delaware and these bands are kind of migrating from north to south through the area. the good news is we're starting to see clearing in burgs county up into the lehigh valley and poconos. more than a foot in some places, 19 inches of snow there. some of you have reports of more than 2 or 3 inches of snow. a lot of grassy areas, but on the roads, a lot of that has turned to slush and is melting. temperatures are above freezing. the heaviest bands of snow now which are being blown around from wilmington to middletown o toto alaway, edging back toward philadelphia. so you can see, this is the rotation of the storm. but you see it breaking up here on the backside, which is very good news. this is what's going to happen. hour by hour. you can see right now, temperatures above freezing. so a lot of this is going to melt. the winds are going to continue out of the north. piling water up along the seashore, but you see things will be breaking up by about 11:00 tonight. the winds will be b strong, but

so it doesn't matter if you're in the lehigh valley or down on the jersey shore or southern delaware you're going to be affected. this is mainly friday morning through saturday at 10:00. now we are going to be looking at rain and wind tomorrow but the biggest impact coming friday with 60 mile an hour wind gusts. heavy snow falling in the poconos as well. it's going to glide past us and park out here in the atlantic. it's going to bring us some very strong winds as it deepens and strengthens. the highest winds friday afternoon and friday night. the coastal flooding will be right around the same time as the high tides, saturday morning between 8:00 and 11:00 a.m. and saturday night between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m. and the heaviest rain going to be tomorrow night through friday morning. already officials are warning across the entire area if you don't have to be out on friday, don't go out. we're going to go neighborhood by neighborhood to let you know what affects you the most when i come back. >>> two major moves involving gun sales tonight in the wake of the high school massacre in florid

coastline but one to 3 inches in the area of gray and that's through millville and smyrna and southern delawareree to 6 inches of snow in chatsworth, williamstown, salem, in lancaster. across the i-95 corridor, stretching from wilmington, the city, to trenton, six to 10. more snow, 10 to 16-inches where you're getting the snow in doylestown, lansdale, pottstown reading allentown and mount pocono. so, significant amount of snow. reducing visibility and it's a heavy wet snow, a high of 35 today. it ends this evening and tonight drying out. tomorrow it's blustery with some sunshine and 40. friday a morning snow shower especially north of the city possible, not a big deal but it's chilly, 43. staying chilly on saturday. daylight saving time begins saturday into sunday. sunday partly sunny, 46. we're still watching the coast to see if a southern storm develops sunday night into monday. could bring us some snow showers. at this point some of the models suggesting that might not happen. we're going to keep tracking that. 44. tuesday windy and chilly, also 44 degrees. so as you step outside and you loo

we have rain in southern delaware, but it's a wet, heavy snow. laware. and right into about salem. the area in south jersey. philadelphia still looking at steady snow and then we get back toward trenton and there's steady snow. you can see the bands of a darker purple coming through the area. right here, again, that's where we're seeing the heaviest snow bands. wilmington and smyrna. what we're worried about is the visib visibility. mt. pocono, half a mile. some places there seeing 19 places after now snow. redding starting to clear out. bluebell, a half a mile visibl visibility. a mile and a half in northeast nif philadelphia, so getting better there. a mile in atlantic city. half mile in millville. so this is your checklist for tonight. avoid traveler iing. make sure you have the flashlights ready. keep the refridge traitors closed in case the power goes out. cancel activities that you have and check on your neighbors. make sure they're doing well in their homes. back to you. >> want to give you a live look right now. if you can make it out, it'

we have rain in southern delaware but you can see all of this traveling from north to south. let's peel away all the lighter snow, take a look who is getting heavy snow right now. you can see parts of philadelphia, upper darby, gloucester city down to pauls borrow, over to chester seeing some of the heaviest. that's where you see the shades of green and blue. shades of pink also blowing side way. the heaviest elk, we go to upper pitts grove, and cedarville. that's where we see the line. it starts up here near north whitehall and allentown extends up into the poconos. we're seeing this a band traveling southward making quite a mess. you can see it right through here. heavy snow from the poconos north. some of the mountain areas will pick up as much as 18 inches of snow. very close to seeing blizzard warnings issued across parts of the suburbs because we're getting close to the criteria for the blowing snow. you can see what's going to happen. winds are still coming in. we have a mix across parts of the jersey area. temperatures for the most part other than the poconos are abov

jersey as well as the shore and extreme southern delaware. the watch meaning the potential is there for a heavyaccumulating snow and wind yet again. as we look at tracker here, there's that low going across the ohio valley. this is 1 o'clock on wednesday morning. going around the midnight hour you see snow, rain, some sleet breaking out. there's the low to the south that's going to take over and this becomes a power house nor'easter just off of our coastline going into wednesday afternoon. that would be the height of the storm with the winds wrapping in around it out of the northwest. now the last go round these isobars, the lines that are white were really tightly packed with those 60 plus miles an hour winds. the winds won't be as strong with this storm but the snowfall totals will be much higher so the wind not as strong, the take away with this nor'easter tuesday night into the day on wednesday this is more of a snow impact. heavy wet snow that will accumulate pretty much everywhere. the heaviest of the storm and the heaviest of the snow

still not much at the jersey shore or extreme southern delaware yet.in above freezing, but it's getting closer. blue bell 34, allentown 35, trenton 34. it melts on the roads 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 beca

with a couple cloud from i-95 and east into portions of south jersey and portions of central, southern delaware this morning but we will see those cloud thinning out breaking out for good amount of sunshine as we head in the 38 dn philadelphia. thirty-seven in wilmington. down the shore temperatures are in t we have 37 in allentown. fresh snowfall from a couple days ago, little snow fromell, s in the poconos. it will stay cooler, up there because that 3 thigr morning in, 37 in west chester. 40 degrees inwarm spot on the m5 , mount holly, our winds coming out of the north and northwest, right sustain in philadelphia, so, of course, that is makg it feel chillimoing. coming in at 10 in wilmington, 12 in millville, breeze we head throughout the day-to-day , and then temperatures are goin know, makg it in the 40's, so it is going eafel cool day as you see if you will, 43 degrees by noon timehe we head e 3:00 o'clock hour. chilly afternoon. that is going to be because of the winds, so here's your feels like temperatures throughout the day, by noon time feeling like 35 degrees, really dress for the 30

suburbs three to six possible a coating to three possible interior south jersey the shore and southern delawares point. the winds will be picking up gusting to at least about 25 miles an hour by wednesday afternoon. nd some stronger gusts in those snow squalls during the day on wednesday and into wednesday night. overnight low temperatures will be in the 20s we bounce back up tomorrow well into the 40s. 46 with a light wind that wind will not increase until wednesday and on your seven day forecast, after that snowstorm, clearing and colder for thursday, friday 41. partly sunny saturday a chance of a shower on sunday. that's our philadelphia st. patrick's day parade we'll push that shower as late as we can by monday and afternoon shower the temperature 46 degrees. so here we go again. iain, hopefully this is the last one. >> let's hope, kathy. thank you. speaking about friday's powerful storm no match for tree believed to have been planted by george washington. the canadian hell lock toppled over at mount vernon the tree was planned by the first president back in 1791. all those millennials turn

you have to watch out for , a you travel around this morning, just rain, in cape may, and in southern delaware. so, here are our estimates, and we do call them estimates, because these numbers are will change when all is said and done. five to 8 inches or more along i-95, much more to the north. less to the south. depending on how much rain mixing cents is in. mike masco out in it. can we say it enough, that the worse is yet to come? >> okay, you know what? would just lost the shot outside. >> i'm here. >> we always have bob kelly. >> 5:17. let me put my coffee and donut down, and get rocking and rolling. route 30 out in chester county , great example that we're dealing with right now, the start, this is the start of, as we mentioned, the worse will happen later this afternoon. so already, snow covered, wet roads, there is your slush. so little bit of everything in the variety pack here this morning. and penndot mentioned, they couldn't put down the salt brine solution because the storm started as a rain event. so, just be careful. i think everybody made the right call. the they closed the sch

and that includes southern delaware. here is the flood watch in effect tonight through tomorrow night. because one that rain arrives we could get heavy downpours, that's philadelphia, north and east. then everybody is under high wind watch friday morning, through saturday morning, and we could see wind gusts everywhere of 50 miles an hour, tomorrow, your trash cans, if tomorrow is your trash day, they might be everywhere. and the shore, wind gusts will be even higher. potentially. so here is the future cast. we have the clouds increasing throughout the day today. later arrival time for this rain, than we told you yesterday. probably 4:00, 5:00. then starts to rain heavy on and off throughout the night into tomorrow morning. here we are, at 4:00 when we start good day philadelphia, again, for you tomorrow. looks like it is still just rain. then what happens is with the circulation around this low pressure system it, draws in some colder air. so you see, a change-over to snow in the north and east, up toward the mountains,

and in southern delaware. as we look at the future cast, and we watch that rain-snow line, as we will be with you all day, you see some heavy snow, cranking up around 11:00. and that warmer air, trying to get to us, and probably not. so we do have a chance for that heavy snow to really pile up, even here in the city, and across the river in new jersey, we will watch it all with you all afternoon, as we continue, looks like, 7:00, 8:00 when we're going to see the end of this storm. so the height of the storm, saying, between is 11:00 a.m., 5:00 p.m., heavy snow falling at the rate of inch or two per hour, winds gusting up to 35 or 45 miles per hour, trees and power lines could come down with the storm. already seeing the branches, very heavy, with the wet snow, the places are getting snow. and reduced visibility difficult to travel. so, these are snowfall estimates. we could go up or down, bob kelly, depending on how much rain mixes in. >> whole deciding factor, 6:18. kicking offer this one, market frankford br

right new we're dealing with primarily snow across much of the delaware valley, rainfall across southern delaware but not much rain mixing in. it is the heavy wet snow that we are contending with and when we see purple returns that is heaviest and wetest of the snow along i-95 corridor from center city philadelphia to chester back into wilmington. seeing primarily snow down the shore right now, falling in heavy intensity and some locations we have this nice ban that has been going for a couple of hearst right now into lehigh northampton county , snow continues to fall in the poconos where toby hanna we are up to 13 inches of snow, five and a half in albrightsville, doyletown two and a half, somerton and philadelphia county of slush and snow and down the shore hammington picking up an inch of snowfall. we have snow and, of course those ridiculous wins cape may gusting to 71 miles an hour. hurricane force is 74 miles an hour. gusting to 62 in dover. sixty-one atlantic city. fifty-one in northeast philadelphia wind speed elevated these are constant wind well up in the 30 miles an her range and we ha

expressway, down at the jersey shore, and in southern delaware, it is only raining at the moment. so, we've expanded now, the national weather service has the winter storm warning in effect, now including new castle county, salem, gloucester, camden and half of burlington counties. these are the places that could get the double digit accumulation, but certainly more snow than we anticipated. because of the tricky necessary of the forecast. but, expect heavy wet snow, weighing down the trees and the power lines, and the winds gusting up to 35, to 45 miles per hour, that means, unfortunately, more power outages, and the potential for blocked roadways if trees or power lines come down. not unlike what happened last friday. so, this is our latest map. that we are putting together of estimates of snowfall. we're going five to 8 inches in this i-95 corridor. i might put plus sign here. possibility of more. depending on where that rain-snow line eventually sets up, and remember, it doesn't get cranked up really until later on this afternoon, little less as go further south, whole lot mor

where we get some mixing across southern jersey, northern delaware, about four to 8-inches, right along a lot of rain mixing in so that will really limit snowfall amounts two to 4 inches and it will be gusty but future tracker showing instead of wind gusts of 60 to 70 miles an hour like friday we're looking at wind gusts generally about 35 to about 45 miles per hour. but it could cause some additional power outages. so, the five day at 5:00 showing tomorrow pretty nice day. increasing clouds, 47. wednesday windy with heavy snow, 37. blustery on thursday behind that system 44. friday and saturday dry, mid 40's. another storm is on the way for the end of the weekend. i'll let adam talk about that in the seven-day forecast i don't want to talk about that. >> leave that to adam. cecily thanks. >> misery lovers company, right?

delaware river. the british had reconquered southern new york and new jersey, and they expected in the spring they would cross the delaware, take philadelphia and wrap this revolution up. but at the end of the year, washington and his troops turned, recrossed the delaware and attacked the hessian these were hired soldiers from germany who were fighting on the british side. they attacked the hessian outpost in the city of trenton, captured 900 soldiers and went on to win the battle of princeton. this wasn't the beginning of the end of the revolutionary war but it was the end of the beginning. it meant the cause would not be itsled in his cradle -- in cradle, that meant the americans could fight and fight back and win and the struggle could go on. speech to the's new jersey legislature, he mentions the crossing of the river, the hessians and the cold and suffering of the soldiers. and if you read weems' account thehe battle, those were very things weems spent pages describing, which tells me that lincoln is recovering a memory of his childhood reading. and he goes on to say, boy though i was, i realized t

the southern shore spots are dry, for now, as is delaware, notice there are some snow showers across western pennsylvania, a few of those could survive, maybe a stray snow showers, flurries tonight but heavy at accumulating snow from the nor'easter has moved on out, you can see where that snow is falling right now over burlington county and ocean county, toms river, stafford, lbi, seeing some snow falling at the moment as well. behind this, things have dried out and you can see a few breaks in the cloud cover over portions of chester county, delaware county and northern delaware. snow totals from this storm big winning area as far as jackpot snow totals if you like snow, it is a winner maybe not you are a loser but, broomall a foot of snow, 12 inches, bryn mawr 11 inches lower makefield township 10.5. berwyn 9 inches. fox chase section of the city at 7 inches of snow. delaware again was not spared. greenville 10.4 inches, brandywine at 10 inches, north of wilmington 8 inches of snow , newark over half a foot and new castle 5.1 inches. in new jersey we had, again some spots with over

battle zone at times of wet snow, sleet and even rain and mainly rain in the far southern areas of new jersey as well as delaware. in fact we highlight the area along i-95. really a difference over 35 miles from norristown to williamstown. there could be a 10 inch difference in the amounts of snow over the very small amount of real estate and it all depends on how much sleet and rain mixes in with the snow. and that is still the biggest question with the storm. >> it's along i-95 does is it stay snow or flip over for an ex extended period of time. the wins are another issue, gusting 45 to 55 philadelphia to the east. 35 to 45 in the heavy snow zones to the northern and west and that creates more power outages. unfortunately as we step forward into the day on wednesday. what to expect here overall tonight into the day on wednesday. the snow is heavy and wet no matter where it falls. it will be hard to shovel and remove given the weight and the amount of moisture in that snow. it will stick to trees and wires and that creates additional power outages. meteorologist cecily tynan, has the expected snowfall map in ju

southern beaches in new jersey. not really pushing up the delaware river. not seeing the flooding on the jersey shore yet.that's when we see the winds starting to turn around. they are offshore before seeing the high wind gusts. snow in the poconos all day tomorrow. we see the transition to snow across the philadelphia area. not really sticking here. but those high winds really kick in. then ripping down the shoreline tomorrow night anywhere from 50 to 70. saturday morning we're going to see all of this piling up. these could be highly damaging. look at this. 62 mile an hour wind gust. s possible in avalon. 60 in pottstown. that's what we're concerned about. this could blow roofs off. we're not saying everybody is going to get hit by this, but we're going to see pockets of major damage when we have wind gusts like that. >> everyone will feel this to some degree in the region. >> everybody to neighborhood by neighborhood. the timing over the next 36 hours is going to be changing rapidly. your conditions might go from rain to snow to high winds to no winds to flooding all within a 12-hour period. >> tammie

the southern beaches of south jersey, then the eastern beaches, and all of the beaches in delaware.ally, we have the heaviest rain expected through the pennsylvania suburbs, south jersey, philadelphia, and that's where we have saturated ground so that's where it's going to be easier to topple the tree with the high winds, bring down telephone poles and so forth. and then up to the poconos, that's where we have winter storm warnings posted for 6 to 12 inches of snow. yes, we could see accumulating snow in parts of the lehigh valley as well. so things that you have to keep in mind, we're going to see power outages, especially tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. so make sure you've got batteries on hand for your flashlights. property damage, things are going to fly around, so watch out if you're outside. the coastal roads may be flooded come saturday morning. we could see dangerous travel in the mountain snow, evening whiteout conditions tomorrow night. planes and trains, you may face delays. be prepared, especially tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. doppler radar showing we h
