with tammie souza. philadelphia, south jersey and northern delaware, that's where we'll see the heavy accumulating snow. this doesn't wind down until very late tomorrow a night, possibly power lines down because of the heavy snow. we'll see accumulating snow, some areas 3, 4, 6 inches of snow, the heaviest in the lehigh valley. the commutes will be messy. tomorrow morning you will be looking at a messy commute. you will see a wet community in philadelphia and south jersey. by the time we get to the evening, it would be an messy commute with accumulating snow. that's the time frame you need to stay home and be off the roadways tomorrow afternoon and we will see winds and gusts we're very concerned about the trees and power lines. for tonight we'll see rain showers. we will see the light snow showers across the upper pennsylvania suburbs. you may have an inch or two much accumulation by early tomorrow morning, but for the rest of us it's rain showers. tomorrow, we will rain, it may mix in with a bit of we

. >> tammie souza is looking at the big picture including the timing. conditions will worse b as this all goes on. >> we're headed straight downhill from here. alt-right now we're just looking at the light rain moving into the area and light winds. this is not our big concern can. the first alert is for the entire area. it does not go into effect until tomorrow morning at 5:00. that's through saturday morning at 10:0010:00 area. including 50 to 70 mile an hour wind gusts. this includes you in the lehigh valley and on the shore. e we could see the strongest gusts right along the shoreline because out at sea we're going to see 25 foot waves and hurricane force winds. that's not on the shore, but that's out to sea on the shore we could see 6 to 10 foot waves. so that's going to contribute to coastal flooding. we'll see high tide at the same time. heavy rain is going to come down into tonight and tomorrow. so localized flooding. not a big flooding event but localized possible. and this could end with some heavy, wet snow falling in the suburbs, south jersey

nbc 10 chief meteorologist tammie souza is checking on the conditions out there. >> as long as the storm system continues to move out as quickly as it is, that means people can get in and start the cleanup. but we do have to worry about snow on the power lines, branches and trees. some of those are going to come down tonight, and even tomorrow. because the heavy wet snow is bringing stuff down. we've seen trees already toppled this afternoon. the good news is, it's winding out of here. look at it. this is a six-hour loop. the last of it right here out along the jersey shore. you have to zoom in tightly to see where it is, out towards toms river. this is the last 18 hours. now this is a precipitation map. and it pretty much looks at where the heaviest pockets were. okay. you got very heavy snow and rain in central delaware. in south jersey, a heavy combination of mixing. also out here out along the jersey shore. you can see that the lighter totals wound up being in the lehigh valley. that's not to say didn't pick up 6 or 8 inches of snow. but across the pennsylvania suburbs we saw a big s

but the snow is stopped here. >> chief meteorologist tammie souza joining us once again. we're beginning to see a little sunshine there. >> that's great. any sunshine will help to melt things. the temperature profiles right around the freezing mark. it's a wet, heavy snow. and a lot of that is packing down. remarkably, i think the snow totals are going to be higher than what you see on the ground. because so much of it came last night and melted on the road waist and packed down. but it is all about where this purple band set up. this is the six-hour time lift. you can see from 11:30 in the morning until now, that is when it really fired up. that's what we're expecting. the afternoon and the evening commute to be the worst. the good news is it's speeding out of here a little faster than expected. so that's going to give everybody a chance to get things cleaned up this evening. another piece of bad news, though, is behind it, the winds are going to start to pick up. we could see some flurries tonight that is of no concern. but the winds, they are of concern. because there

. >> we begin our coverage with chief meteorologist tammie souza with the timing and the biggest factors impacting this storm. >> the biggest factors impact ing this storm is wind will be the umbrella event. everything else is going to be big. it will fall beneath that. we have a first alert for the entire area prp this is for tomorrow morning starting at 5:00 in the morning through saturday morning at 10:00. it may even be extended beyond that. what is this for? 50 to 70 mile an hour wind gusts. you could see 50 mile an hour wind gusts in the lehigh valley. 70 miles an hour completely possible along the jersey shore. very possible es herbally during the high tides. periods of heavy rain tonight through tomorrow morning and then we're going to see a wet snow. heavy snow in the poconos. perhaps a half a foot to a foot there. but across the entire area this could turn to snow with the high winds creating white out conditions for tomorrow evening's commute. the radar just showing light rain starting to move across the area. so this is not the big event. the big event is these two pieces of

and let's begin our team coverage with nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist tammy souza. tammy, you're tracking where the worst of the storm is right now, move out of the area? >> it's on a pivot point. it's starting to clear some of the area. let's get right to it. let's take a look. if you're in berks county and lehigh, you're looking at clearing already. in montgomery county, you're clearing. we're watching delaware county clear, chester county, clear. we're watching dell clear. let's go ahead and put this into motion. you can see it pivoting and swirling out of the area. this very dark shade of purplish blue. that's where we have the very heavy snow bands. some of the highest intensity snow is in that area right now. let's look at who is clearing. lehigh is clearing. allentown is clearing. richland, you're clearing right now. king of prussia, northtown, hilltown, philadelphia right on the edge of the clearing. chester, you're starting to clear. woodbury, starting to clear. all of delaware is beginning to clear. clouds are out there, yes. some of the snow blowing around

we start with tammie souza, who is track the the storm's path. glue we are going to be heavy wet snow deposited on everything. here's the timing of everything. early tomorrow morning, we'll see a steadier snow you could have several inching, while we'll see rain and a mixing out toward the shore. that line is right along the corridor. when it finally changes we'll see very steady snow, and that will mix into south jersey. then for tomorrow night it winds down. some places could have nearly a food of snow on the ground. >>> new at 5:00, we are leave in lafayette hills. people say they are taking this storm seriously and are getting ready. >> reporter: some people in this area still struggling without power or trying to build up what they lost. >> i have nothing else to eat because i didn't stock up for the first one. it seems like everybody is preparing more. >> you have have a great today, ma'am. >> reporter: it could be a couple things or enough to fill the whole kitchen. >> i'm getting some food for tonight, and then this way i'll have it for t

we begin with first alert meteorologist tammie souza. the timing of this is so important. >> it's here now. a couple of hours ahead of time. we are already seeing the transition to snow. look at this in delaware. some bands of very heavy wet snow making its way to the area. sleep being reported in philadelphia, you can see actually some of the rain switching over to snow. so, we are getting our first blast of snow. some of this is going to transition back to rain, back to sleep, back to a mix. but take a look at this. westchester, you are in light snow. limerick, you are in rain right now. philadelphia, the dividing line we have talked about for days. the i-95 corridor through the middle of philadelphia. conceivably by the time the storm is done, we could see 8 inches in a place like chestnut hill and 2 inches at the airport. those are not the forecast totals but that's the type of differences we could see in a very short distance along that corridor. we go down into delaware, dover, middletown, newark, all looking at some snow right now

. >> we begin with chief meteorologist tammy souza. >> every storm has kind of a different scenario to it's not often you see storms like this. i have to say in my career, not too many. doppler radar right now, we're looking at the heavy rain moving across the area at this point from philadelphia back toward allentown. out into parts of chester county. let's go a little closer, pockets of heavy, steady rain coming down. this is going to continue for another four or five hours. we'll pick up 1 to 2 inches of rain overnight tonight. let's go ahead and widen it out. you can see that snow wrapping back around. that's another concern we have for tomorrow late in the day. some very cold air wrapping around this system. you notice this little hole right there. that's what we're watching, the center of this storm at this point, and it's going to continue to strengthen moving past the area. now it looks like we're going to see perhaps the blowing snow moving in by tomorrow late in the day. what's going to happen is we see heavy snow in the poconos, 6 to 12 inches of snow. the rest of the area c

let's begin with chief meteorologist tammie souza. >> much of tomorrow is going to be pleasant and quiet. and first alert going to go into effect early on wednesday. by tomorrow evening, you will start to see light rain or snow falling depending on where you live. pennsylvania neighborhoods, all of them, in this first alert. south jersey in the first alert. northern delaware. only thing left out are central and south delaware and the jersey shore. our biggest concern with this storm is the snow. the heavy wet snow that is going to fall. we are going to have messy commutes. wednesday morning it will be a bit on the messy side, but wednesday evening going to be a nightmare. heavy snow, and it is going to fall on a lot of the trees that have weakened. we will get gusty winds. not 70 miles per hour like the last storm. instead 35 to 40 miles per hour range. you are going to hear cracking branches and that means trouble. here is our system, coming out of the northern planes and the midwest where it is churning all day long. it is going to meet up with this low coming up the coast. the low is

. >> let's bring in tammie souza with what we can expect overnight. >> winds tapering off at least for pennsylvania suburbs. let's take a look at our radar and you can see the snow, the snow and the rain has come to an end. one strip stretching from the poconos through the way pennsylvania suburbs and straight through philadelphia and into south jersey. if we put it into motion, you can see it is shifting off. the winds are beginning to shift. and the system is moving further offshore. getting a wrap around from the northeast which is going to pile up the water along the beaches and along the jersey shores. philadelphia a quick burst of snow right now. that will continue to shift off to the east and see these bands shifting back and forth. but not see the truly heavy snow that we saw earlier this afternoon. the system now centered out through atlanta. up towards massachusetts where they had 90 miles per hour wind gusts today. we dealt with 71-mile per hour wind gusts out on cape may, but they had 91. millville 38, toms river 35. coatesville 38. these wind gusts are ever changing. let's

meteorologist tammie souza will be updating you and tracking the heavy downpours that come through. i'm not expecting flash flooding, but we're seeing such a large area getting rain all at the same time. that could lead to flooding in streams inland. the threat will increase into the weekend for the shore. the rain totals by the time the rain is tapering off saturday at midnight, an inch and one-third in doylestown. an inch and a quarter in swedesboro. and millville, just over an inch of rain. a tremendous amount of rain moving into the area. we're going to see this threat from the storm system change as it moves into the area and through the area. the heaviest rain comes tonight and into tomorrow, the damaging winds friday afternoon and friday night, and the coastal flooding, we could see some friday evening, a high tide and possibility again saturday evening. as you see, there are different threats for different areas at different times. here's brittney shipp. >> we'll go over the suburbs and lehigh valley, break it down hour by hour over the next 48 hours to let you know what to

. >> let's begin with meteorologist tammie souza. it's raining now but the severe weather is still on its way. >> i want to say these are not severe storms, but this is severe weather. we're going to see the high winds as this storm system revs up. we're going to see heavy snow in the poconos and snow elsewhere and also going to see some very heavy rain that could lead to flooding. so again, this is for the entire area. because we're all going to be affected. especially noon tomorrow through midnight. we're going to be affected. the first alert is for tomorrow morning through saturday morning. what we're looking at is 50 to 70 mile an hour wind gusts. that's going to bring downpour lines, trees, build boards, bad roofs. it can do a lot of property damage periods of heavy rain. and we're going to get the wet snow. but with those high winds tomorrow afternoon t could create whiteout conditions and dangerous driving damages. tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night, that is the time to be home and let this blow over. the winds are going to

tammie souza will keep you up to date into the late evening hours. overnight, the rain continues on the heavy side. by 4:00 tomorrow morning, there could be breaks, but there is more rain ahead during the day on friday. even though rain may be tapering off, everyone will see the wind increase. this is 11:00 friday morning. look at the rain coming down in millville, mt. holly, and cape may. looking at a lot of rain over the coming storm system. more than an inch possible in swedesboro and wilmington. an inch and a third in pottstown and doylestown. more than an inch in philadelphia and at the shore. a lot of rain that's going to take time to make its way to the streams and way to the rivers. with the rains is going to continue into the weekend. that's not the only threat from the storm system. the heaviest rain as we and tom morning. there will still be downpours in the afternoon. the biggest threat tomorrow afternoon will be the damaging winds. winds of 50 to 60 miles per hour. the coastal flood threat, that will be ramping up on friday. the worst of

tammie souza will be tracking it in the first alert weather center. the heavy rain continues through tomorrow morning. first we get the heavy rain, and then we get the strong winds tomorrow afternoon. and then the flood threat is going to continue into the weekend. the hour-by-hour winds, tomorrow morning at 10:00. that's a 20 mile-an-hour wind in philadelphia. stronger in dover and south jersey. watch what happens in the afternoon. 40-plus mile-per-hour winds for philadelphia, allentown, pottstown. closer to 50 miles per hour in wildwood. we could easily see winds gusting to 50 miles per hour as we head into tomorrow afternoon. even wilmington, dover could see the 50 mile-per-hour winds. getting close to it in pottstown. a big storm with a major impact. major coastal storm with downed trees thanks to damaging winds. power lines will be coming down. travel delays. you can count on that, as well. coastal flooding is going to continue into the weekend, into saturday. there's a potential for property damage, as well. the heavy rainfall could lead to some

late this evening, 11:00, when tammie souza is updating you and tracking this rain, that's when we'll see some pretty good downpours that will continue into early friday, that's 2:00 tomorrow morning. downpours for philadelphia into south jersey. we'll get breaks, according to the computer model, tomorrow morning, that won't be the end of it. rain continues into the late morning hours and into the afternoon. we've got a long duration storm system with the potential for a lot of rainfall. the forecast rain totals topping an inch for philadelphia, doylestown, pottstown. and because we're getting such a large amount of rain, an inch and a half at allentown, more than an inch at the shore, rain for the entire area, that rain has to go somewhere. it's going to be headed for the streams and rivers. that's going to take some time for it to make its way to the streams and rivers. so the flood threat will continue into the weekend. the heaviest rain tonight and friday. that's not the only problem with the storm. damaging winds tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night. talking really strong winds in

then at 11:00 tonight, when tammie souza is updating you on the news, you see the heavy rainfall moving into wilmington, philadelphia, delaware, into south jersey. it continues into saturday in the morning. there could be -- into friday morning. there could be breaks in the precipitation on friday morning. that's temporary. look at later in the morning on friday. still steady rain in our area. and during the day on friday, that's when the winds will really start ramping up. that's another part of this system. as far as totals for rainfall, more than an inch is possible coming in with this. we could see two inches of rain in the next week and a half. the worst of it is coming in the next few days. the heaviest rain, that's going to be tonight and into tomorrow morning. there will be rain during the day, however, on friday. the highest winds come after the heaviest rains. they're due in friday afternoon and friday night. talking winds of 50 to 60 miles per hour. that could cause trees to come down leading to power outages in our area. then the coastal flood threat with the strong winds at

. >> tammie souza is breaking down what we know at this point. >> what we know at this point, it willill have winds. any loose power lines or branches hanging in trees likely to get blown down and weakened trees getting blown down. we will not see 70 miles an hour wind gusts near the 30 to 40 miles an hour range. the first gust is for pennsylvania suburbs all the way to south jersey and northern delaware. this does not include the jersey shore or southern delaware and does include the lehigh valley. we are expecting to see pretty good accumulations of snowfall out there. 4:00 in the morning wednesday to thursday, 7:00 in the morning. we will see 1-4 inches of snow across philadelphia, higher amounts as you go up through the suburbs, and some places could reach ten inches of snow. the messy commutes in the morning. rain transitioning to snow across philadelphia and south jersey and northern delaware. we will see gusty winds. and power line, loosened from friday. our doppler radar could not be quieter and this storm system will merge coming off the east coast and carolinas. this entire

. >> we begin with tammie souza. this new storm threatening to deliver a second punch.e snow than wind. it's flipping over. any weakened tree branches or weakened trees or power lines not fallen yet could fall and we will see 35-40 miles an hour wind gusts. we have a first alert south jersey and northern delaware. this is from wednesday morning, 4:00 in the morning to thursday morning at 7:00 and start to see that very late tuesday night mixing in with rain. we're concerned of accumulating snow and a lot of it. we will see messy commutes thursday morning, more of a rain-snow mix unless you're in the upper suburbs of lehigh valley and straight snow. wednesday evening, a nasty commute for everybody. we're looking at more
