Monday is mostly cloudy again with mild temps close to 50 and rain developing in the afternoon.

Winter storm moves in Monday and Tuesday

Tuesday is a NEXT Weather Alert Day as rain and snow are likely to impact the morning commute.

A Winter Storm Watch is set to go into effect for the Lehigh Valley, Poconos, northern Bucks and Berks Counties Monday night until 6 p.m. Tuesday. A Coastal Flood Watch will be in effect Tuesday for Atlantic and Burlington Counties, where 1-2 inches of moderate flooding is possible.

After 2 a.m. Tuesday, rain will chance over to wet snow for areas adjacent to I-78 including the Poconos, Lehigh Valley, and parts of upper Bucks and Montgomery Counties. A transition line of rain/snow mixing looks to swing through Philadelphia between 6-9 a.m., bringing a quick burst of wet, sloppy snow.

The warm ground will help melt much of what falls in and around the city, but generally a trace to an inch or two of slush is possible in Philadelphia, with the higher totals farther north.

While there is still time for the storm track to change, as of Sunday we're looking at between 2-5 inches from Reading to Allentown, with totals up to 10 inches possible in the Poconos. These amounts could go up or down before Tuesday, so keep an eye on CBS Philadelphia for the latest weather updates.

Inland South Jersey, the Shore and southern Delaware should expect to see mostly rain.
