A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect for the entire Philadelphia area from 3 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday. We can expect several inches of heavy, wet snow across the region. Rain or Snow will start to fall from SW to NE in the mid afternoon Sunday. It will be all snow N and W totaling 6-8 inches. The city and immediate suburbs could see a little mixing and totals between 4-7 inches. South Jersey and Delaware could see 2-4 inches with a change over to rain. Snow fall rates could reach 1 inch/hour this evening making travel difficult. Be careful when shoveling, the snow will be heavy. For more information go to: http://www.weather.gov/phi/winter
