In the same week, and when he will be here in philadelphia. And, the the match up is set, for super bowl 51. That is it, the Atlanta Falcons nfc chapel beyonds. Matt ryan leads his falcons begins new England Patriots and does philadelphia area native have what it takes to knock off one of the all time greats. Lets hope so. Good day philadelphia, hi everybody it is january the 23rd, it is a monday and it is year 2017. There you go. We picked up our four years there. Yeah. I got to tell you, what do i have to tell you. Yes, please. I got the plenty of time. I woke up yesterday morning and all i saw was this fog. Im sick of this, im glummy. It is all weekend. We have not seen much sun. How about today. No . Lets see our number for today, two. You suck. It would be one if it was snow. Only thing that changes there one it is rain. It is windy, there is some rain around this morning. Temperatures in the 40s and be prepared like bus stop buddy is with the rain gear and prepare for that umbrella to blow inside out. You might not want to bother because it is so windy, already. The heavier rain has yet to arrive. We expect that this afternoon but you have got enough to deal with this morning. 32 miles an hour wind gusts in philadelphia, 36 miles an hour in wilmington. 40 miles an hour, already, in Atlantic City and that is only going to get worse. Temperatures are in the the 40 s except for mount pocono at the 33 degrees where we expect some of this precipitation to be frozen up in the mountains so that could be tricky travel up there but for all of us, we have to take our time today. 44 degrees. The just temperatures staying in the 40s with wind driven rain all day long and bob kelly the evening commute worse then right now. Wow, our second top story this morning is that bridge closure, he we went into effect try at 5 00 but this morning is first morning rush hour that motorist contend with the turnpike bridge closure between pennsylvania and new jersey. Three options the Burlington Bristol, 95 Scudders Falls or Trenton Morrisville bridge. Lets go outside we have a live look at folks leaving new jersey coming into pennsylvania, heres the trenton makes the world takes bridge, again, one of the options for trying to find an alternate. We have most of the traffic that typically uses this big bridge that is closed are the big rigs, truckers, it is a great connection from pennsylvania across the river into new jersey and up into new york. So a lot of those big rigs are navigating detours, one of the blinking signs on the turnpike , advises everyone to go north on route one up and over Trenton Morrisville bridge, on the new jersey side , connect at 7a, and really hit in the face is when you get to exit number six, it is closed. We have no other option but to go down to exit number five. We will see a big bottleneck because those folks will be forced off at mount holly heading over toward the Burlington Bristol bridge. Mike and alex, back over to you. So we have your noreaster you were talking about, we have a bridge closure, all for a big mess for this mornings commute. Steve and lauren on all of this story. You can see that wind is really blowing steve, down the shore. Reporter he we thought we would be nice and give you a look at sunrise on monday morning. Watch this shot here right down to the the sea wall. Waves are coming up, way over the sea wall, we will be facing here and they are going across the street here on main avenue and this is no surprise i dont know if you can it, and there are sea gulls flying and it would be crazy but look at those waves. They are going across the street. We are elevated here on the the stairwell and we have a jetty here. That is why this is safe place to stand. But sometimes you can see beach stand here. Look at the waves coming up oversee see ball. As sue said this isnt even the height of the storm here. Look at this shot here and we are staying dry because we have got the this jetty here but there is ocean water going into the streets. So far streets are not flooding. That is the telephone pole, light is back on. I dont know if that pole will last today. We were across the street. You can see street shines here , they look like they are going from the same intersection from grammarcy place signs that are taking a beating. They are bending around the pole it is getting rough out here. In terms of the sue saying wind gusts are 40 miles an hour, 40 miles an hour study gusts, nonstop. Heres a look north now. Looking at brigantine bridge which we can still see with a little bit of daylight. That tells you it is not so bad coming to precipitation, so really no rain right now, the only precipitation in the air is from the ocean, being blown up into the air blue buns it starts raining in addition to the tied layering on top, we will see worst conditions here in the p. M. Rather than in the ah. So, the drive around here in the afternoon rush will be way worse then it is now and it is real rough, right now, we are seeing people trying to drive around and it is tough because here in Atlantic City, before you know it, you will come up on a intersection completely under water and you dont know how deep it is. Is there our famous streetlight back out again, so it has taken a beating, but it is still standing, and i wonder if it will be standing is the 12th hours or so. Just pop on there. It is taking a beating. We have that. We have a bridge connecting new jersey and pennsylvania, it is the pennsylvania turnpike that is closed. And not the just closed but closed indefinitely. Big crack. Lauren is live in bristol. Yes, a crack started all this on friday. Reporter that is right, it happened on friday, we are here at burlington Bristol Township bridge. We didnt know what to expect this morning. Officials didnt know either. They did warn it could be extreme delays because of the crack and closing but right now it is pretty normal for what happens here this time of the morning but thinks an alternative forget ago cross Delaware River. Now that turnpike bridge is closed in the timetable for repairs but you can see why a huge crack, bob kelly got me this picture. When you hair about a crack you think that is an easy repair. This is a complete break spotted on friday by the same crews, engineers, they alerted engineers. Now they are trying to work on a permanent solution to the problem. But that also means 40,000 people who use the bridge to have find their way around it. The roads around here and bridges and weight limits, it will cost a major problem for trucks getting in and out of new jersey, philadelphia. This load here came out of ohio on the way to trenton and now i have to go 10 miles further. Who knows how long that could take, depending on the morning commute and mondays are never easy but today will be a true test of what people will have to endure with the traffic. Frustration, and coming soon the rain and the wind that will add some more headaches all of this, mike and alex. Okay. It is the story there. That is monday, that adds something to it. Indefinitely. Major League Baseball is mourning the tragic loss of two players, Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura and former Major League Player andy marte, were killed over the weekend, in separate car crashes, in the dominican republic.

It will be a full week and this president will work hard. I have never seen anyone work harder and more energy then this president. Reporter there will be the first full press briefing with press Secretary Sean Spicer who along with his boss, spared with the media over crowd size reports for inauguration. Why did he do that . It under heinz credibility of the entire White House Press office on day number one. Dont be so overly traumatic about it, chuck.

Democrats are committed to slow walking or trying to stop others. It is a cabinet unlike any other we have seen on two basis, we call it swamp cabinet, billion airs and bankers. Reporter republicans have the numbers if their ranks hold. Im optimistic we will get every member in the cabinet. Reporter we will see. It comes down to that question whether there are any republicans defectses. It wont take too many for some of these nominee toss head south. In the meantime trump will spend time talking with trade, and immigration, maybe some executive order. He is talking about meeting with the leaders of both canada and mexico to rework nafta renegotiate those trade agreements. He hates nafta. So alternative facts, what exactly are those . Reporter you know, that came down to that issue of trying to interpret photos of the inauguration, look it is pretty evident, i think most people say these were not crowd we saw back in 2009. There is no shame in that. 2009 was a historic election. People came here to witness it they wanted to press that point. It is in the clear whether that was to get narrative back from the media on a day when women were marching. Difficult to say. But it was a big thing. Certainly did. It will be brought up again today. Picture doesnt lie there is just less people there, so what. Maybe they worry about size , size matters. Sean spicer came out and they had pictures put up of the crowd, before he briefed the press. Is that what were worried about. Yes. Yes. Thanks, doug. Is there not much more i can say. What is the difference.
