Weather Authority: Wintry conditions changing over to rain as wind speeds increase

PHILADELPHIA - The Delaware Valley spent Thursday being impacted by a coastal storm, pounding elevated areas with snow as other areas deal with rain, but the system is moving to the north and east.

FOX 29's Kathy Orr says the Delaware Valley is seeing only rain, while some snow lingers in the Poconos, where a Winter Storm Warning for three to six inches of snow is in effect until Friday morning.

Wind speeds are increasing with the changeover from snow to rain, while temperatures have increased. 

Several counties, including Cape May, Atlantic and Ocean, are under a wind advisory from Thursday evening until Friday morning. A Coastal Flood Advisory is also in place until Friday morning.

Looking ahead to the weekend, after the coastal storm leaves the area, temperatures will drop, with highs in the upper 30s and low 40s.
