6:15 pm
3-inches of snow at the max. and i think that's not very much. we can't survive with the snowplows for day. >> we have a fire. there's not whole lot you can do about that. >> reporter: in speaking speaking to the administrator he made it clear although obviously a fire wasn't something they planned for, they appreciate the residents understanding. >> and, you know, hopefully we'll debt through this as quickly as we can. surrounding counties have stepped up and offed support to hopewell and the residents seem to understand that now really isn't the time to complain but for all of us regardless of the area if the snow does come, be safe and take your time. who knows what challenges are being dealt with and we're not even aware of. >> all right. >> good point. good thank you, bill. let's get back to the fox 29 winter wet authority. i like snow but i am just -- >> enough. >> ready to move john. >> ready for spring.
6:16 pm
>> yeah. >> i think a lot of folks share that same sent many, guys, of course we are looking at winter weather advisoryies pretty much the entire day tomorrow for a spring snow. you can see the pocono mountains, the lehigh valley, all of i-95 new castle county in delaware and also interior south jersey that includes cherry hill over to the salem area as well as mt. laurel. so temperatures tomorrow will be in the mid to upper 30s. so it will be a mix of a wet snow as well as a rain expected to begin tomorrow morning around 8:00 a.m. and slick roads are expected to impact that travel it will be a slushy accumulation mainly on the grassy surfaces, car tops and also some of those higher elevations in our area but as we take look at ultimate doppler you can see a lot of moisture off to the south and this will be moving in as we watch the clock. here's 8:00 a.m. you can see some of those flakes will be flying in lancaster as well as reading. moving into chester county, sections of new castle county, approaching the philadelphia
6:17 pm
area and by lunch time, the green that's mainly rain once you move to places like millville atlantic city as well as dover but we're still looking at that mixed combination from trenton to philadelphia to wilmington. but all of north and west it will mainly be snow throughout the entire day. that's where the heavier snowfall totals will be likely closing in on five maybe even 6-inches for some. we'll get to the totals in a moment. but by tomorrow evening that system is moving out of here and there will be some slick spots on the roadways. so the potential snowfall totals you can see dover millville a coating to an inch. moving a little farther inland, wilmington philadelphia, likely one to 3-inches a slushy accumulation and once you move to norristown allentown moving toward the pocono mountains likely three to 5-inches of snow so due to that march sun angle the higher elevation you go, the higher those snowfall totals will likely be. so once again the bottom line it arrives around 8am from the
6:18 pm
west. from noon to 5:00 we're looking at the heaviest of that wet snow and rain combination and then by this time tomorrow evening it starts to taper off from west to east. the high today made it up to 45 degrees. still below where we should be for this time of year. 44 right now. the wind, it is calm so that is some good news. as we look at the temperatures right now, mainly in the low and mid 40s out there. 44 in philadelphia as well as reading. so for tonight it's dry but chilly if you're stepping outdoors monitoring that system off to the south upper 20s in the burbs. 31 degrees in the city and then for tomorrow, once again it look like you'll get out the door okay but then we are looking at that snowfall moving in during the morning after about 8am and then continuing to pick up in intensity by midday. so there could be some early cancellations and delays across the area. but 36 degrees will be the high temperature in philadelphia once again slushy accumulations mainly on those non-paveed grassy surfaces and also on your
