>> reporter: yeah, a little bit 6 light snow to start out. there's precipitation down the shore, largely rain, if we go in closer on the northern suburbs the lingering snow that was down to the south earlier is pulling off to the north. this is the beginning of round one. it could be coating roads around quakertown, pottstown and doylestown and bethlehem and easton. be careful again if we shift it farther to the south. we do have that area of precipitation down year atlantic city, it's rain along the coast and change over to sleet and wet snow and change over to snow north of that. there's a couple of slick spots this morning. as we look outside we have cloudy skies and the winds are starting to pick up, especially do you down the shore, you can see the camera bouncing in atlantic city. that's going to be the pattern that continues to increase as we go through the day as the nor'easter starts to form to the south and picks the winds up.

30 degrees in philadelphia. 21 in allentown. a lot cooler up north. # 1 in wilmington -- 31 in wilmington, 38 in sea isle city. future tracker 6 shows you between 9:00 a.m. and noon not a lot going on. mainly rain down the shore. we have the bands of on and off popping through. the model at noon wants a steady snow. you can see as we go through the afternoon, it sort of breaks apart and it's on and off. we're not expecting a lot of snow in the forecast for the daytime period. anywhere from 2 to 3 inches the majority of region. perhaps one to two on the perimeter. along the coast you'll see largely rain. up in allentown we'll have light to moderate snow on and off through the day. 24 degrees is the forecasted high. down the shore 36 degrees is the high, at times we'll see rain mixing with snow, probably less accumulation along the coast and in places like the boardwalk in atlantic city.

if this storm gets its act together later in the game and holds off until it gets farther up to the north before it intensifies, we could drop the totals 4 to 8 and 8 to 1 up in trenton and points north. a lot of uncertainty yet but either way it's significant snow to make travel hazardous. today's high, 32, slight snow on and off. a snowstorm overnight tonight 26 degrees is the high, double digit snow totals are possible for the part of the region especially the center. region east. wednesday, sunny and cold, 29. sun to clouds on thursday 35. friday, brisk conditions and flurries around, thursday night into fry we'll be watching that -- friday we'll be watching that. saturday saturday, colder, 250 and sunday, 29.
