PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The snow came in fast and furious Monday morning with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour. Rain is now mixing with snow in Philadelphia and along I-95.
A quick hitting storm will approach the region from west to east later this morning. Little to no accumulation expected in Philly. About 2-5” likely points north and west of the city! ALL rain for NJ We’ve got this 💪🏾

Snow continues to fall west of I-95 and rain is the dominant precipitation type across South Jersey. Snow total coming out of Pennsylvania is generally in the 2- to 5-inch range. The snow will start to taper north and west fairly quickly late afternoon and early evening, and we’ll turn to all rain in the city. Most, if not all, precipitation wraps up region-wide by 5 p.m.
A little impulse passes tomorrow and could generate an isolated snow or rain shower, mainly north and west. Then we finally get a nice day on Wednesday, with highs in the 50’s!
