. >>> let's get the latest on the weather now with first alert meteorologist steve sosna. >> that's right the shore points are getting ready for another high tide. and the forecast expectations haven't been met there with the moderate flooding. that's a good thing. a live look at cape may, new jersey. a pretty picture but we're feeling the fringe effects from the storm, which is almost the size of the united states right now. it's throwing back wind and also the water. the rough surf and potential for coastal flooding. so 8:30 on the atlantic facing beaches minor to moderate flooding here. it looks like sunday during the day you'll see minor flooding in times of high tide. again, each day gets a little bit less worse. and we're going to continue to see that rough surf chew away at the beaches. i'm tracking another potential nor'easter next week. more impacts on that storm coming up. >>> we want to see the storm damage in your neighborhood. make sure you have the free nbc 10 app. take a picture or video and click on see it share it. >>> the secret service confirms a man shot and killed him

. >> steve sosna is breaking down the neighborhoods for you. >> i've just gotten a few reports in offy. thank you for going out there and venturing out in the elements and the sloppy conditions to take your measurements. here are some of the latest numbers. lower makefield in bucks county 10.5 for you. 10 inches in horsham. that was a facebook viewer. thank you for choosing nbc 10. plymouth 8 inches. 7.7 in upper gwynned township. springfield 6 inches. gilbertsville 5.1. and eagle veil 5.1. in new jersey this was a facebook viewer. 4.5 inches in pittman. princeton, 2 inches. some of the other numbers are dated. and new castle county, i would love if you got out there and measured the snow. i'll give you a shout out on the air. so far the numbers that i've seen, 6.6 in newark, edgemoore 6 inches. how much water is in that snow? these numbers are really impressive. so when you're shoveling out that 4 or 5 inches of snow, it may contain over an inch of rainfall in it. so it's absolutely back-breaking in many of these areas. do notice berks, lehigh, up through this corridor here, not quit

so bad where you are, but we're being loog at a live picture the 95 in south philadelphia where steve sosna says you know that band that we've been talking about, that wall of snow? it's just arrived and we good see it here in center city behind us. i also just got an e-mail from jim rosenfield who says the large flakes they're now coming down in center city. >> let's check in with jessica boyington to see what's happening on i-95 at gerard. >> i'm look at 95 too and actually picked this camera because my other 95 cam raw couldn't see it at all, it was completely covered with ice and snow. so there was all over the camera lens and this one was one of the only ones i could show you. at least because it wasn't covered. so right now you can definitely see it coming down. the good thing is that i want to focus on that not a lot of cars are out the door. you want to follow that example and not head out the door especially considering the worst is yet to come. right now we're just watching a lot of slippery spots. off ramps, back roads dealing with kpent department, one in lower providence around
