>> is this a like what we saw friday. when you get that when you have the heavy wet snow because they stick together when they fall looks like a snowball falling. piles up quickly when that happens and that will continue through tonight. adding to this -- adding two our totals we adjusted i increased a little bit edged them down a little bit to add in the overperforming nature of this storm as it starts out. we'll see possibly an inch or two tonight, then backs off a little bit into early tomorrow morning before the main event takes over by about 9:00 or 10:00 tomorrow morning. let's take a look at what's happening. this storm really coming out of gate strong, heavy snow already falling in portions of the area as i was in chester county, northern and central delaware and heading towards the city, two pieces of energy, the coastal storm starting to take precedence. you can see the swirl the clouds. not a lot of moisture with that. adding energy to this system,

this has all the moisture, lots of heavy rain and where it's cold enough heavy snow. we got heavy snow falling from baltimore, northern delaware. rain changing to her snow had. very shortly if it hasn't happened already. lighter snow but it is snowing in the poconos and lightly in bethlehem as well as i just checked the crawls and you can see the heaviest rain shower over central and northern delaware. this will eventually change back to rain but not before possibly dropping a coating to to an or two especially on grassy surfaces. through the next couple of hours we got pretty heavy snow across philadelphia, portions of south jersey, a quit coating to an inch or two can't be ruled out then starts to lighten in intensity. early tomorrow morning, lights snow. light rain to the south, heavier rain down the shore, then we really start to see the coastal storm ramp up and that happens about 9:00 tomorrow morning. that's when you'll start to see the banding recur in

philadelphia and points to the north and west see the dark purple shading here, mix, with rain across portions of south jersey and delaware. heavy snow in the north and west suburbs. that continues threw noon, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, snowing back edge leading to the chance of accumulating snow briefly down the shore before this lift out around 6:00 tomorrow night. this is a long duration system we've edged that 6:00 to 12:00 stone. when we add in what happens tomorrow night and tomorrow will be close to six inches possibly slightly more near the city. six to 12 in wide swarth through the north and west suburbs zone of 12 plus for the poconos and it's a gradient near south jersey and delaware. less mixing more snow, less rain, these amounts could increase, more mixing and rain and you start to see these amount. high confidence in the six to 12

zone. it will be blustery, winds will gust over 30 miles per hour, briefly over 40, that will blow the snow, purelies could come down leading to another chance for power outages not as windy as last one but definitely we'll need to break out the shovel. lehigh valley, poconos and north and west suburbs points just south and east of i95. so definitely going to be a storm that's going to keep things delayed tomorrow. big travel impacts both your morning commute and the afternoon all day it's going to be slow going out there then things improve, strong march, temps back in the 40's, snow should melt quickly. there's going to be a lot out there tomorrow. >> spring forward soon. >> we do this weekend. >> thank you. don is up next. >> the flyers get a we'll tell you why. plus, the sixersboce back win i. sports coming up next.
