Philadelphia weather: Tracking another 4-6 inches of snow Friday
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Temperatures rebounded slightly Thursday after a stretch of brutally cold days, but more snow is coming to Philadelphia and the region Friday.
Thursday was relatively quiet around the Delaware Valley, with slightly warmer temperatures and lighter winds. Conditions remained cloudy with highs near 35 and feels-like temperatures in the upper 20s.
It was the calm before the storm as another round of snow moves in Friday with the potential for several inches of accumulating snow.
Snow timing
Light snow will begin to spread across the area between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. Pockets of steadier snow will develop from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., with the steadiest snow likely coming down between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Snow should taper off by the evening.
A Winter Storm Warning will be in effect from 4 a.m. until 10 p.m. Friday, with four to six inches of snow expected in Philadelphia and along the I-95 corridor, and a CBS Philadelphia NEXT Weather Alert will be in effect throughout the day due to the snow.

How much snow in Pa., NJ and Del.?
Four to six inches of snow is expected across the region. This comes on the heels of Tuesday's system that dropped more than three inches in Philadelphia -- and ended the city's nearly two-year-long snow drought.
The shore points, which could experience some rain and snow mixing, are looking at one to two inches of snow.
While not a "massive" snowstorm, according to meteorologist Kate Bilo, the timing of the system will likely impact both the morning and evening commutes.
Weekend outlook
More cold air follows Friday's system, so Saturday will be very cold and windy again. Winds could gust to 30 mph and wind chills will struggle to get above single digits.
In Philadelphia, it'll feel like just 2 degrees; in Mount Pocono, it'll feel like -10.
A NEXT Weather Alert remains in effect Saturday, though in this case because of the cold.
Sunday stays dry but breezy and cold again, so you'll need the heavy winter gear through the weekend, but temperatures will start to rebound by Tuesday.
