A Wetter Look

Rain has overspread Philadelphia and most of Chester and Delaware Counties, with some sleet to the north of a line through northern Chester County.

Here is the latest radar image, which shows a pulse of frozen stuff moving west to east. The snow is well to the north, above Reading.

Given that the precipitation was expected to start in frozen form before changing to rain, odds are that areas from Philadelphia south and east aren’t going to see much in the way of accumulation.

And don’t be surprised if the 1-3 estimates to the north and west also get adjusted downward before lunchtime.

Temperatures are falling as the precipitation starts. It was 32 at Pottstown, and at Philadelphia International Airport, it’s down to 33; at 6 a.m., it was 36.

For most of the region’s snow-lovers, it looks like a good day to scroll ahead to the weekend.
