increase. this area of icing, back in the pink that is in ohio right now. getting in as far as the general timing the snow starts 2 to 4:00 p.m. after that as we go into the afternoon rush it is going to be sleet in a lot of the area. starting to get things icy and 6:00 to 9:00 generally on the icy side with some sleet and freezing rain. before eventually changing to rain. tomorrow morning's rush should just be wet. here's the timing as we go through the afternoon. this particular model gets rid of the snow really fast. and even by 3:00 it has gotten mainly icing, sleet across a good bit of the area. here we are, 5:00 afternoon rush all of pennsylvania counties in the sleet or freezing rain some just plain rain down farther to the south. these areas will get off a lot easier than philadelphia area and points to the north and west

rain coming in. much of the area that's coming over like the next six hours or eight hours. a messy commute, but that's part of those next eight hours and more to come. we have got a three-part storm, and the last part is going to bring us the most snow. right now we have cloudy skies in the area. the clouds continue to thicken up during the afternoon. 30 degrees. the wind is very light. humidity is fairly low and that's why the early part of the snow evaporates before hitting the ground. it looks more ominous on radar than it really is. mid-20s to near 30 degrees now for much of the area. low 30s further to the south. we're not going to warm up a whole lot more during the day today and when these radar echoes start to come in that will close the temperature level off or go down. it is snowing hard in state college. the leading edge of this is not reaching the ground. yet. but it keeps throwing moisture

into the -- even dry atmosphere eventually. it is going to get wet. lancaster county getting some. see some of the pink echoes down near washington. the warmer air, higher levels is already getting close. that's why this snow is not going to last all that long. two to 4:00 p.m. in general the snow starting. 4:00 to 6:00, sleet in much of the area starting to get things on the icy side. and after 6:00 it gets even worse because we have sleet, freezing rain. now, later on during the evening, the rain comes in as temperatures rise overnight tonight. tomorrow morning is not going to be an icy or snowy commute. here's what to expect as we go through the afternoon. this particular model changes the snow to the sleet pretty quickly, maybe too quickly. but we'll get a little bit of accumulation of the snow and then the sleet on top of that.

then here comes the warmer air bringing just rain. but most of the area from philly north and west that's all snow or ice by 6:00. by 8:00 9:00 it is starting to get just rainy. by 10:00, only the lehigh valley and poconos are seeing the ice. by tomorrow morning, everybody is seeing rain. tomorrow afternoon, pretty much everybody is seeing rain. and then here comes the cold air for wednesday night and into thursday morning, the biggest question mark, i think, is in southern parts of the area how much snow is going to be falling. but there it is thursday afternoon, this model has snow around. the chance of four inches or more, this is two days ahead of time, this is not for this afternoon. it is pretty high from the whole philadelphia corridor from trenten down to wilmington, all the way up to the lehigh valley.

it goes lower as you get further south. that's a fairly high degree of confidence this far ahead of time. and some computer models suggest significantly more than that. afternoon snow and sleet, temperatures up near the freezing mark. remember things start to get icy later today and into the evening. but it changes to rain by tomorrow morning. it is just a rainy day. mild day. and then it is a snowy day on thursday with temperatures falling. bitter cold friday. finally a dry weekend but we lose an hour of sleep as we turn our clocks forward. we'll be right back.

dibuonaventura coming out of the courthouse a few moments ago. he was accused of falsifying reports after pauling over paul moriarty in the summer of 2012. our chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz here with a quick check of the afternoon. >> the afternoon is going to be going downhill on the gradual side. first, we get some snow coming in starting around 2:00 to 4:00 for much of the area. changing to sleet. then some freezing rain. so it is a messy afternoon commute, though. later you stay out, the worse it is going to be at least in the rush hour hours. but if you wait until 9:00 10:00, 11:00 tonight, especially from philadelphia area southward, it will start warming up enough to just turn to rain and the driving will be a lot better. then it is a rainy day tomorrow and a snowy day on thursday. thursday is the day where it is going to be the most difficult travel. >> just about everything in the next four -- >> that's quite a variety.
