Saturday. Good morning. This is nbc10 news today. Im rosemary connors. And im dray clark. Its now 6 00 on this saturday morning. Nice to be with you. And that snow that crippled the area yesterday afternoons commute could still be a problem on the roads this morning. This is what it looked like early last night as people tried to make their way home from work aside from the jammed up roads there was also some scary scenes like this car dangling over a wall you can see there. The temperatures stayed below freezing through the night and that means there could still be some slick spots on the roads this morning. Chief meteorologist tammie souza is tracking the conditions this morning in her first alert forecast. Good morning, tammie. Good morning to you, dray. Good morning to all of you at home. Its a cold morning. We have clear skies out there and temperatures in the upper teens and low 20s. Lets take a look across philadelphia. Right now were all the way up to 25 toasty degrees. We have southwest winds. And those southwest winds are going to help melt some of the snow today. By 9 00 well be up to 32, freezi freezing mark. And above freezing by noon at 38, a lot melting on the roadways, sidewalks and steps outside your house, until then be careful because its rather slippery out there. Temperature trend look where it goes. This is not a misprint. 55 by tuesday, so we are going to be above average for much of the week ahead and certainly above freezing all the way through thursday and even into friday. Its after that that we see some large changes on the way. But lets focus on today. We dont have any snow out there for today. A little wave coming out of the great lakes, might clip the poconos and parts of the Lehigh Valley this evening, but for the most part were going to see sunshine with a few high thin clouds around the area. So your neighborhoods today were going to climb to 39 in philadelphia. Well climb to 38 in the pennsylvania suburbs. Look at Lehigh Valley above freezing at 37. 39 in delaware. Well see 39 at the jersey shore at 4 00 and 41 oops, 41 at the jersey shore, 39 in south jersey. Back over to you. Tammie tracking everything on first alert radar, nbc10s Randy Gyllenhaal tracking conditions outside. Hes out and about for us in philadelphias pennsport neighborhood. Randy. Reporter yeah, rosemary, as we mentioned yesterday was the commute from hell for a lot of people. Took hours for people to get out of the city and out to the suburbs. Today its looking a lot better. Today the streets are completely clear, might be wet, but theres not much snow or ice on the main roads. But as we come back over here you can see snow still covers the sidewalks. Youre going to be doing a lot of shoveling in some neighborhoods this morning. And another issue were seeing are these neighborhood and side streets this is a street just off of washington avenue. And as you can see its still got a ton of snow pack. Weve seen a couple septa buses driving through here, so its really crunching the snow into the pavement. Some of those neighborhoods streets might be a bit trickier this morning as we begin to continue the clean up. It will just take a quick look weve probably got about two inches of snow falling here in south philadelphia. So a lot of people will be waking up in the next couple of hours doing their shoveling, scraping and of course getting all that salt on to the sidewalks. All right.
