air. and that's why we're seeing the changeover to start off. and it's sweeping through philadelphia and now into new jersey and delaware as well. the intense rain you see to the south, it's too warm just yet as the easterly winds are pushing the warm air in from the ocean, giving a few thunderstorms at the shore. inland, cold air that's sweeping now into chester county and northern new castle county. this is what we're going to see from delaware county. it's going to take some time to happen. one of the indicators of intense snowfall. the lower the visibility, the heavier the snow. quakertown and pottstown. coatesville even heavier snowfall. temperatures drop 35 degrees in philadelphia and we're now getting snow. cold enough for snow. not necessarily cold enough to stick. as it clears down, it's going to be sticking like we've seen so far in lehigh valley and suburbs.
