5:34 am
>> reporter: well, we just jumped out of storm 4 ten. in willow grove. this is what people are waking up to. this gentleman getting the snow off his car. this is what we've been seeing. it doesn't take too long because it is a very light and fluffy snow. takes a couple of minutes to brush it all off. here in the dunkin donuts parking lot. when it gets packed down you get slush and slick as well. little cold here. we are seeing the icing. some of that black ice. it's very slick here in this spot too. we have seen a lot of the plows out and about this morning. also a lot of the salt trucks and especially the private salt trucks. come into parking lots like this one and get everything prepared for the day ahead. when customers come, everything is safe. right here taking a look. see the parking lot where it is covered in a light coating of snow. see right here on eastern road. see mostly just wet right now. vehicles here making their way through a little bit slower than
5:35 am
usual. that is definitely a good idea. of course you see most of these major roads, they have been treated. they have been salted or brined, what have you. because of that, just the traffic itself is just making the roads wet and not really slick at this point. bear in mind, again, the side streets. a lot of them have not been treated. got to be careful on those. really have to be careful on roads like this as well. have seen accidents. big bone out there on i 95. just an example of what can happen in let your guard down and try to go at regular speeds that you would normally go on a regular dry day. when you have something like this and first snowfall of the winter for most of us right here. just got to be careful as you head out the door. for now live in willow grove. nbc 10 news. from the pennsylvania

hammonton where cay zi zachary is porting light snow. few breaks in the clouds. the clouds will thin out. get sunshine and as far as the snow is concerned at the shore. not much luck there either. steadiest snow is offshore. sunshine breaking through will warm into the 30s this afternoon. this snow moves out. there is a storm that is coming together for the coast that will impact the weekend. and likely the greatest impact is going to be along the shore. in fact lickly to get more snow, more snow than we saw with this system. below freezing, but not very low below freezing. 20s for the suburbs and lehigh valley. very low 30s in philadelphia. there's the snow katy zachary is reporting.
5:50 am
more snow this afternoon. might not stay dry for long. another storm system ahead for the weekend. meteorologist keeping an eye on that one. >> bill, this first system they were watching move out now could not be more different than the second system we are tracking. let's get right to it. a lot o discuss when it come os the differences with the system. the one that hit us the morning, came from the west. it was a high certainty. going to bring us snow and high certainty for most of us would be one to two inches. that's what we saw. this system is coming from the south. going to brush up against the coast. near the carolinas and then near us. depending how close it gets to us, it brings heavier snow further north. this is something we have to track hour by hour with each model update. with the system itself. here's the latest model update for one particular model. remember tons out there we can look at and help to use to forecast and make our actual forecast. we'll get to that in a moment. here's the hour by hour.
5:51 am
showing it clipping us by 5:00 a.m. saturday morning. really just hitting delaware beaches. this is at 11:30 in the morning. this is one model. take a look at a different model at 11:00 a.m. talking pretty big differences depending where the system tracks. when i say where, how far north it heads. going to stay off to shore. it is not going to make it to land. how close it makes it to land will bring in more or less snow. this model shows it extending even into the suburbs with light snow. more steady to heavy snow for parts of the shore and delaware beaches. starting to pull off by 5-6:00. leaving us with clear conditions as we go into sunday. that's something we do expect, but as for snow totals. these are forecast amounts. this is what we're going with currently. about an inch through philadelphia, but notice how close we go 1-3 inches as we get to new jersey. look at variation. up to 6 inches or a little more. look at this worst-case scenario
5:52 am
if that system creeps a little further north and wst. now we're talking one to 3 inches. even more so into new jersey. this is something we will continue to update you on as we move there afternoon newscast as well on social media sites. >> thanks. speaking of social media. check nbc 10 app. continuing to get more school delays. jessica has been tweeting up a storm letting you know what conditions are like around the area. watching 95. also watching schuylkill expressway. no pun intended. you can follow me on twitter and get up to the minute updates. about to send out a tweet on girard avenue. people walking around. you want to take your time moving around there. another accident in limerick.
