let's get right to your first alert neighborhood weather with meteorologist krystal klei. krystal, these temperatures are just absolutely brutal. >> yeah. that's exactly right. that dangerous cold first alert has been in effect since yesterday. and the dangerous cold conditions are not going anywhere through today. for the entire area at least through tomorrow morning around 8:00 a.m. we have this first alert in effect. here's why. dray already said it. bitter stinging cold. you know what i'm talking about. when you step outside for even an instant you can feel it on your face. any exposed skin just that sting that hits feels like temperatures between 5 and 25 below zero during the morning hours is what we're expecting today and again tomorrow. frostbite in as little as 30 minutes can set in when you have these kind of conditions. that's why we're calling it dangerous. it's not okay to be outside during this type of weather. right now actual temperatures 8 degrees in philadelphia. 8 in wilmington. 9 in northeast philly. and 6 in allentown. i've been checking the board, no numbers are setting records quite yet, but wilmington's only one degree short of tying a record for cold this morning. so this is rough weather. some of the coldest we have ever seen in this region for these two dates, today and tomorrow. feels like temperatures take a look 12 degrees below zero what it feels like right now in philly and in allentown. 27 below mt. pocono and 10 below in millville. that kind of cold going to continue as we go through today. in fact, many spots i don't think will feel zero or above through the rest of our saturday. radar and satellite though shows us finally a bit of a good picture. there's no rain, no snow, no icing to track for us today or even tomorrow. it's all about the cold. then comes monday and things change. we'll talk about some of the changes as we go into the workweek coming up in just a few minutes. we'll see you in just a few. thanks for that, krystal. this morning we're learning the deep freeze has turned deadly. police in vineland, cumberland county, tell us a man died because of exposure to the bitter temperatures. officers found him early thursday in the snow in an empty parking lot. new this morning, five families in montgomery county are without electricity on this bitter cold morning following a car crash involving a power pole. initially more than 100 families were effected. it happened at the intersection here of routes 309 and 202 in montgomery township right around 1:30 this morning. the dark spot in this video from our traffic camera a little bit earlier today is the neighborhood without power. peco tells us those last few homes without electricity should be back online by noon. it can be dangerous, even life threatening as we've been reporting, to be outside in cold like this for a long stretch of time, especially if you're not properly dressed. and some people are going to have to venture out today. >> yeah, nbc10's randy gyllenhaal is live in university city where people are actually waiting to catch buses this morning. good morning, randy. >> reporter: yeah, tough morning to be standing outside waiting on the bus. so far good news is the bolt buses and mega buses have been relatively on time. but you combine the snow on the ground, the tough cold we've got and the windchill making it real tough. take a look a few people out lining up. another bus just left to new york city. another one coming here in the next ten minutes. shouldn't take too long. show you a zoomed in look here at the american flags next to 30th street station. they are blowing in the wind right now. and that's the concern is the windchill, which today and tomorrow could reach negative 20 in some places. that's going to cause your frostbite to exposed skin in less than 30 minutes. we caught up with some folks out here waiting for about ten minutes outside in the cold. >> we're going to new york. >> reporter: new york. and you aren't from the nort? >> nope. i'm from kentucky. >> from houston. >> reporter: so this is negative 10 windchill right now. how does it feel? >> pretty cold. pretty cold. >> awful. >> i don't feel my fingers. >> reporter: i think that group of ladies was actually from kentucky, so this is a culture shock for them. we should note that the buses have been relatively on time. a lot of people have been taking the advice to take an uber over here so they don't have to actually walk to the station. might be worth the expense to take a taxi or an uber some time today. for now live

that continues through today with temperatures that feel below zero pretty much the entire day and then again tonight into tomorrow morning. here's the good news though, change is on the way. we've got to get through monday first though. monday late day into the evening and even early tuesday we'll have kind of a messy mix in the forecast. it looks like at least a chance of some short-lived snow, sleet, freezing rain mixing across the region. so that is still going to be an issue i think especially for the monday evening and tuesday morning commutes. but here's the good news, the january thaw in the forecast 50s will actually return as we get into next week. if you want to see that, take a peek at the bottom of the screen. right now though, look at this. we've got below zero for minneapolis, chicago, indianapolis. we're only at 8 degrees. i mean, this is a huge area of just brutally cold air. and it is sticking through the rest of today so this is another day to plan indoors.

everything inside. >> knowing at 38 years old i'm starting over, four kids, wife. i've got nothing. >> it's unclear exactly what started the fire. the community in the meantime is rallying around the

of the season is still weeks away. according to the cdc more than 40,000 cases have been reported this flu season. that's nearly three times more than last season. those cases include some people who actually got the flu shot like a family who lives in portland, oregon. >> christm consisted of the one who were sick wearing surgical masks to open their presents. and then pretty much going back and laying in all of our beds again. >> it turns out that family was hit with two different strands of the flu. while the flu shot isn't always effective, doctors say if you catch the flu and you've had the shot, the symptoms may be less severe. and all of this is why summer is my favorite season. let's talk about conditions outside. so this is another day where you going to stay indoors. live look over city hall and you can see still some of the snow on the ground. it's not going anywhere because temperatures have not been above freezing, so everything on the ground is sticking aside from those spots that have been treated. roadways of course are looking a lot better than they were a couple of days ago. feels like temperatures out there 12 degrees below zero right now in philadelphia. 10 below in millville. 12 below in allentown. look at mt. pocono, 27 degrees below. we were telling you a couple days ago that mt. pocono could see up to 30 below zero and that's pretty much exactly what we have seen so far. so highs for today are only going to make their way into the teens. about 14 in center city. 16 in summerton. in the pennsylvania suburbs, 14 puerto rico fo pottstown and 15 westchester. look at the numbers in blue, zero is about the best we have on the board for a feels like. you see negative 2, 2 below in allentown, pottstown, as we go into new jersey, 14 for berlin and 15 in boardentown. 14 in cape may and a temperature of 17 this afternoon smyrna with a feels like temperature of zero. future wind gusts, as we get to lunchtime gusts will be around 30, 35 miles per hour. so these kind of gusts are what's making it feel so much worse than it actually is. and it is already bad when you have temperatures in the teens. those two mixing together is what's making it dangerously cold. part of the issue with windchill is the heat that your body omits that helps keep you in a bubble of warmth, that can't stick. the winds move it off. that's why your body perceives it as colder than it actually is. that's what makes it so dangerous. future wind gusts at 6:00 this evening, still around 25 miles per hour. but here's the good news, we get to tomorrow morning, bam, those winds really weaken. we're talking 5 to 15 miles per hour winds at best tomorrow morning. now the temperature will still be very cold tomorrow morning, but we will be seeing the feels like temperatures not as extreme by tomorrow afternoon. so tonight still under that first alert for dangerous cold. these will be the temperatures by tomorrow morning. those early, early morning hours. 1 for the low in philadelphia. 1 below for the low in trenton. and vineland. 2 below in allentown. these are not feels like. these are actual temperatures that we are expecting by tomorrow morning. now, tomorrow in the afternoon like i mentioned the winds die down, the temperature will creep up a bit more. so by tomorrow afternoon things are a bit better off and that's why we will no longer be under a first alert. 22 in philly, delaware, you see similar at the jersey shore. monday we will get up to around or even a little above freezing for the first time in that will be 13 days. so this will be a big change for us by monday. but that also comes with a chance of a rain/snow/icing mix. show you ten-day on ten, dangerous cold lasting through tomorrow morning with temperature of 22 in the afternoon. 34 on monday, but monday late day into the overnight is when we have a chance of wintry mix. and then a little bit of a dry spell tuesday, wednesday, thursday. check that out. 40s to, there it is, 53 degrees by your friday. and we are tracking right now the eagles game potentially with some wet weather. >> i know, we're thinking the 50s sound more like 70s. we'll take it. this might make

klei is tracking the relentless deep freeze in the neighborhood forecast. krystal. >> yeah, guys. and it's our entire region that's under this first alert through at least 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. although we may extend this. why are we under this first alert for so long? because through tomorrow morning we will just have bitter stinging cold. with feels like temperatures 5 to 25 degrees below zero in the morning hours. frostbite can set in as little as 30 minutes when we have got these kind of conditions. which is why we're calling this dangerous cold. we're not just using words to throw around to be dramatic. this truly is the type of cold that can be fatal if people are outdoors for an extended period of time. look at temperatures out there right now. we're at 6 in allentown, 8 philadelphia and mt. holly as well as vineland. these are actual temperatures, single digits or mt. pocono's case zero. then we have the feels like conditions, these are ruthless. 12 degrees below zero, allentown, coatesville, philadelphia. 10 below in vineland and 7 below in atlantic city. it feels this cold because of the wind. those winds are not as gusty as they were say a couple days ago,

coming up in a few minutes. new this morning, forced out into the cold. a gas leak in west philadelphia led to evacuations along hobart street here earlier this morning. first responders and a septa

keep your body warm. if you have to be out, try to cover as much of your body as possible leaving as little skin as you can exposed because that is where the issue comes in. in less than 30 minutes frostbite can set in on exposed skin. wearing three layers is the best bet. loose layers, don't want a bunch of tight stuff but loose layers especially if you can have an insulating layer between the two, so you have fleece, something like that to help out. important to stay dry as well. avoid sweating or staying in damp clothes. if you're starting to sweat when you're outdoors. that means you need to get inside. not take off the jacket. that can be dangerous. take breaks, hydrate, things like shivering, confusion and memory loss can be those early symptoms of hypothermia. so just stay very proactive in keeping safe. take a look at radar and satellite view, a nice wide view here. there's nothing going on around us aside from the bitter cold. that cold air is kind of circling over us. so
