PHILADELPHIA - Mild temps will help melt snow leftover from Monday's blizzard, which brought over a foot of slushy snow to parts of the region.
Forecasters say we aren't quite done with the flurries, however, as a round of flakes Wednesday morning will sweep through the area.
More snow coming
What we know:
Don't fret: The early Wednesday morning bout of snow is not expected to be anything more than a winter nuisance.

The storm will become more widespread by 6 a.m., covering parts of New Jersey and Delaware before pulling offshore by noon.
Snowfall totals aren't expected to exceed an inch in Philadelphia or elsewhere.
