So, blocking all but one lane. You can see this lane kind of crawling by on 202 southbound at matlack street so if youre on 202 heading towards chadds ford, youre dealing with this backup and we also have a backup on the northbound side of 202 because you have emergency workers here as well so on both sides of the highway, chopper6 headed to the scene right now of a serious accident. Instead of matlack use westtown road or high street and certainly expect delays. And were already seeing delays on the vine street expressway this morning commute is kicking in already. This is your westbound traffic heading towards the schuylkill. Youre jammed this morning so watch for that one approaching the schuylkill on the vine westbound. We did have an accident in camden and this one cleared on kaighn avenue at ken wood avenue. So traffic there is moving a lot better. Lets check the weather for you as you head out. Im wondering if we could see even a slick spot or two. I had a little frost on my windshield so it is that kind of morning. You see temperatures below freezing. Its 26 in bethlehem and quakertown, only 30 in pottstown, just had a live update in kirkwood, 26. Its 31 in malvern, 36 degrees in center city, so above freezing in the city itself but in most all of your suburbs in new jersey below freezing. 29 in browns mills, 28 in hammonton, 27, 28 in vineland and glassboro, 28 in claymont and temperatures ranging in some spots up to 20 degrees cooler.

Bundle up but you might see some things this afternoon you like. Yeah even later this morning. It is a cold start. Its not going to stay that way. Storm tracker6 live double scan shows that you were dry which is always nice and as we take a look outside, there it is, the sunshine getting ready to come up nice and bright. And thats going to be part of the package all day today and these chilly numbers that im going to show you arent going to hang around all that much longer. Right now were at 36 degrees in philadelphia. 35 in wilmington. Still the freezing mark in trenton. And we have dipped to 27 in allentown and 28 in reading. 34 in millville. So, a heavier coat a good idea early on. But plenty of sunshine is on the way. You can see any cloud cover that was left over from yesterday along with any rain to our south all shooting away from us and up in allentown were expecting lots of sun today. Not much wind. And were going to rebound from the 20s all the way up to a high of 56. Thats probably about nine, 10 degrees above average for todays high. And at the shore mostly sunny, cool, but nice, a high of 51 degrees. In philadelphia, starting out in the 30s but winding up with a pleasant high of 57 degrees, lots of sun later on, winds out of the southwest again not all that much of a bother today. Then overnight tonight, were mainly clear and cold. Not much wind but well dip to 38 for an overnight low in philadelphia and i could see some of the outlying suburbs getting down closer to the freezing mark. Tomorrow even milder, 58 degrees, the change tomorrow is that a system will be approaching that starts to spread clouds over the area during the day. But we should stay dry during the day. This rain is more of a factor on thursday and then on friday especially as a coastal low sets up and starts really churning. So, what were expecting thursday into friday, this is when the rain comes back first of all. Youll start to see some of it coming in maybe late morning but probably afternoon. It builds in intensity a little bit and especially is rather windy and wet on friday morning. One to 2 inches of rainfall overall, most of the models trending closer to one than two. Wind gusts especially early on friday morning and through the day on friday are going to be strong and blustery and there could be some coastal coastal fg and maybe each erosion depending on the the strength that of coastal low. Cold air stretching in on the back edge of this may change us over to wet snow right at the tail end. Best chance will be up in the Lehigh Valley and on up to the poconos. 57 today, lots of sun, a real beauty. If you have to put off chores or getting things done until tomorrow you can still do it. Increasing clouds but 58 degrees and dry. Then thursday rain arrives, 54 is the high. The rain gradually grows in intensity overnight into friday morning and friday were looking at windy conditions, wind swept rain some of which could be heavy especially early in the day. We start to dry out later on. A chilly high of 44 and then the weekend looks dry. This is going to be the first time in like five or six weekends where we havent had any rain but it is going to be chilly, 45 the high on saturday. 46 i should say. And then 45 on sunday and a little bit breezy and chilly both days. Union opening up on saturday night at home. Youll want to bundle up for that one. For sure. Yeah. Traffic is really going downhill. Im wondering if it could be slick in a few spots here. Were looking live at a new problem. This is the vine street expressway past the schuylkill. Thats your eastbound traffic on your right. You see that truck thats just stuck there, its blocking the right lane. Penndot is assisting. Expect these delays to spill back onto the schuylkill. Its the vine eastbound. Westbound we have an accident blocking the right lane up ahead so thats creating a jam, too. Lets switch to another new problem here. This is i95. Look at the backup here at bridge street.
