Tonight's incoming weather. We have seen a few flakes today but that's just a taste of what's headed our way.
We're about to get slammed by a nor'easter .Chief meteorologist Kate bilo Is here with a look at when and where the heaviest stuff will fall. Kate.>> Kate:
We're starting to see this take shape. There's a running joke Philadelphia always gets missed by these storms and certainly with the first round of It a long the arctic front we had an in chore two to the north of the city,
Then it redeveloped just south of the city once again putting Philadelphia in the rip Off zone, But It doesn't look like that's going to Happen tonight. We are going to get some decent snow out of this storm at leas tin the city and certainly down the shore where the hardest hit areas will be. Center city right now you can kind of see the haze as snowfalls over south philly and down into Delaware.
Not Much North And West But earlier today parts Of Chester county Picked Up Over 2 Inches of Snow .And That Was Just From That first Push Arctic Cold Front with An Associated Short wave trough Which Is just awave of low pressure fancy name for It that We Call It But It's Going to Swing Out And Join forces with This Coastal Low Tonight. This Snow You See Here, Though, I s Going To Stick Around So It's snowing At A Pretty Good Clip Indela ware County Right Along The blue Route, You'll Have Slowdowns Right Along I-95 From south Philly On Into Dela ware you've Got Some Snow. Dover Getting Some Snow Right now As Well As Cumber land county. But, Again, This Is Not Even The main Event .That Comes In Later Tonight. Here's 9:30.
You Start To See The Heavy Snow breaking Out Down The Shore. This Storm Is Just Still Getting going And Then As It Intensifies over night, Take A Look At 1:30amyou've Got Snow Up To Thepoconos And Lehigh Valley At least Moderate Snow In The Cityand Suburbs And Heavy Snow Down the Shore, And This Is A Long duration Event. Here's 5:30 In The Morning. Still Snowing At A Very Good clip.
All Across The Region. This Will Continue Through Oh At least Mid Morning. By 9:00 A.M. We'll Start To See that Back Edge Start To Fizzle out.
These Storms Often Do Wrap Up A little Bit More Quickly Than The models Forecast As They strength hen They Speed Up As well.
So I Wouldn't Be Surprised To see The Back End Wrap Through right Around Noon Or main even a little Bit Sooner.
This Is 12:30 Starting to clear the Coast And Then By 3:30 We've got These Gusty Northwest Winds, The Storm Is Out But The Damage has Been Done. Here's Our Snow Total Foreca stand Again We Haven't Made Too many Changes To This Just Tickeda Few Areas Upwards Over night and Into This morning. Four To 8 Inches Likely For thenearby Northwestern Suburbs of philadelphia.
Including The City .Eight To 12 Across interior south Jersey.12 To 15 Plus Down The Shore. Long Duration event. You're Going To Have Snow falling At The Rate Of anism perhour It's Very Light Fluff Tees now It Piles Up Easily And if you Get Any Heavier Snow orth under snow Those Numbers Will inflate.
And Again A Coat To Go threismsin The Poconos And The Lehig hvalley. Winds Are An Issue As Well.
Winds will gust to 50 If Not upwards Of 50 Miles An Hour At the Coast. So That's Going To Take That snow And Below It Around. You May Have Drifts Of two,3 Feet Of Snow If You Have Afoot On The Ground And The Winds brogue It Around Drifting Will be An Issue. The Blowing Snow Will Lead To very Lose Visibility That's We have A Blizzard Warning.35 To 45 Miles An Hour Gusts Notruled Out Near The City. Moderate Risk For Heavy Snow and strong Winds Near The City. Moderate To Major Risk. Outages A Chance Of Outages With those Strong Winds. Tough Travel Certainly A Big,Big Impact For Us And Down thes hore, High Alert On Everything.
