A great morning for a balloon launch. Karen rogers with more on that coming up.

At this point this morning were not seeing delays but if you want to stick with 291 there are absolutely no problems over there. And well soon have no problems on the vine street expressway but at this point the ramp from the eastbound schuylkill to the eastbound vine remains closed. Should be reopening any minute. Otherwise the westbound side of the vine is completely opened for you. Near Plymouth Country club theres a crash this morning shutting down plymouth road. I would stick with sandy hill or Germantown Pike to get around that. Overnight construction on the pennsylvania turnpike westbound in Chester County has cleared. Everything is reopened there with speeds in the mid 60s and this is a live look at 42 close to 295. The southbound offramp from 42 to 295 northbound was closed overnight.

The temperature in the upper levels of the as fear can go as low this can measure as 76 below zero and the pressure could be just 1 percent of the pressure that we see here on the surface and right here you have the gps.

Here weve got a backup satellite to kind of help us find it in the end and you can see this little weight on the bottom. This can help add an extra weight if it gets stuck in a tree because this weather balloon is going to be released. This is really important because science isnt just informative. Its way cool.
