WCAU NBC10 News At 5pm January 8, 2018

Right now. We have part of the region, berks county, Lehigh Valley, poconos, upper buck and montgomery that has seen the precipitation and extreme south jersey, it hasnt even started yet but we have a zone in between where its coming down and this area of pink, that is freezing rain. Those are raindrops that freeze upon contact with surfaces. And especially untreated surfaces, like side roads, driveways, sidewalks. Youve got to watch where your walking tonight. Much in philadelphia is in the freezing rain and all of Delaware County, camden, gloucester, northern, burlington counties. But in northeast philly, were getting so much detail, ill show you where its changed from freezing rain right across to the north and its sleet now and this looks like its coming down toward academy road has changed over to sleet. And were going to be seeing the end of the precipitation east w wayland and west chester is getting a mixture and yeardley in the sleet and trenton in the sleet as well. Farther to the north, the precipitation is over and its marginal temperatures and its about to get dark. So that could create more problems. Meteorologist steve sosna will talk more about that. One of the tools that we use for street level data is storm ranger 10. We enter in the values and its a good 45 miles wide. So we start with it still happening in areas like radner up through philadelphia. You can see u. S. 1 and an icy mix coming here. Look at the details. You can see right where that Transition Area is from that icy mix to just nothing at all and they are so finite and small. So taking a look at our hourbyhour, its an interesting scenario unfolding. As long as the roadways are treated in your neighborhood, they should be improving but here in philadelphia, the extreme nearby suburbs through south jersey, the precipitation with snow ice mix will continue throughout the evening. This is at 6 30 and 7 30 you can see the pink mix. We want to get it out of here and we look at that by 8 30, 9 00. Well continue to watch that. Well show you images across the area coming up in the next half hour. Breaking news now, Montgomery County where residents of a nursing home are being evacuated into the cold because of a water main break. Nbc 10s Deanna Durante is live. What have you learned about this . Well tell you that the pipe that broke here at the fair view nursing and Rehabilitation Center in springfield township was in the basement of the facility. We are being told that patients were inside this facility for some time after repairs were being made but that there was a cut to the heating system there. You can see multiple Fire Departments on the scene here and ambulances from Delaware County and beyond here to help transport patients. We have not seen anyone standing outside in the cold. Rather, were being told that they are evacuated to a number of different medical facilities across Montgomery County. Others being taken to upper gweneth area and places where you can get the situation under control. And now that is important because youre coming fromc lincoln drive, bellville road and in the other direction from 309, youre going to see, in addition to the weather, some traffic delays here as the Police Officers and firefighters then come out into the street to try and stop traffic as they bring the ambulances out that are transporting the people who reside here. Were told that the facility holds up to 100 patients. Its unclear at this point how many of them are being evacuated. We have no reports of injuries. Were told this is just a precaution because of that pipe that burst in the basement. That is the very latest. Much more for you throughout the show. For now, in Montgomery County, Deanna Durante, nbc 10 news. Lauren mayk is in south philadelphia. Lauren, whats the situation where you are . Reporter the rain that we were seeing, it has turned to sleet and rain combination. We can see it bouncing off car windows. Ill put my arm out to you to see if we see that sleet bouncing off. Its a mention tur of sleixture rain. Youll notice that its really wet. The roads are wet and sidewalks are wet and, of course, the concern is as the temperatures dip tonight, this cold ground, things are just going to freeze up and create ice and create more treacherous, dangerous conditions. If you look here, you can see there is some salt on the sidewalks and there are 35,000 tons of salt ready to go and crews at the ready. They were not going to send them out until the snow started falling. Meanwhile, people are out on the road getting the lastminute items before they head inside. Heres what youve got to do. Get home and be safe. Reporter thats what youre doing right now . Yes. Reporter and that soup hes sharing with his mother. If youre being looking out here, were trying to show you the sleet that has been coming down. You can see it bouncing off some of the things out here in northeast philly. Were going to stick around here and let you know how the conditions to change. Live in northeast philly, lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. And now Miguel Martinez is live from storm force 10. Where are you and how are the roads looking . Reporter right now were on the 422 and we are going eastbound towards phoenixville. The roads right now, slippery from some slush but if i can show you, let me turn the camera around here, its no longer raining. So we started off going west and then we saw the rain the farther we started going and we started to see it turning into ice. So we could actually hear the ice droplets on the windshields and everything. Right now if you take a look at the front facing camera, ill switch it over here to the rear camera, no rain is falling on the car, on the road and still the side of the road you can see a little bit of the slush that is there accumulating. People are still encouraged to drive carefully and slowly. Again, were driving east right now towards phoenixville to see if theres any precipitation falling in that area to see if the Road Conditions are going that way. And right now its looking like 28 degrees. So its getting a little better. Miguel, thank you. There is a wide angle lens and its better than it actually is. Thats right. Storm ranger 10 is able to handle that. A live look at south philadelphia, were keeping a close eye on the roads because of the conditions that can deteriorate quickly in some areas. Lets bring in nbc 10s first alert traffic reporter Jessica Boynton. I dont want to get ahead of myself here but about 3 00, the sukol expressway was jammed. And the drive times are going back down. 20 minutes right now. It was earlier at 45 minutes on the eastbound side and these are crawling back up there and they are into the high 30s. Traffic is Getting Better for now and this is a wide view of all of our area here. All of this red, a lot of it went away. The most that were seeing is moving out of philadelphia and into new jersey. So remember, theres still a crash here. Route 1, right around adams avenue, a little bit of relief there. New jersey coming off of the walt back to you guys. Jessica, thank you. Slow down is the name of the game. I cant stress that enough. To track this storm, its an impact on the roads through the night with the same technology our meteorologist used. Interactive radar and hourbyhour forecast for your neighborhood. There is freezing rain being brought to the area and we have a live look at the scene around 30th street station. The moisture falling tonight could create a slippery ride home. Were taking you live to the shore straight ahead. Ted . People at the jersey shore are still digging out four days after the blizzard. Im Ted Greenberg in Atlantic City. That story is next. When can you express this weather to move out and, plus, warmer changes on the way. The first alert forecast coming up next on nbc 10 at 5 00.

[ both smooch ] ciao bella. We want to give you a look at 8th and market streets. Rain is falling tonight. A first alert is in effect for the entire area due to a system causing concern about potentially dangerous ice. Nbc 10 jersey shore reporter Ted Greenberg is live for us in Atlantic City. Thats where there is a ton of snow. Reporter weve been finding that most of the streets are in pretty good shape. As you can see, there is still a ton of snow around and that kept schools closed for a third day. Four days after the blizzard, andrea washington is still shoveling outside of her Atlantic City home. Reporter she had to clear snow after her street got plowed. The city teamed up with the new jersey d. O. T. To hall away snow from 100 city blocks. Todays wintry mix, though, requires the d. O. T. To deploy its crews and equipment elsewhere. Some expected to return to a scene after this latest weather threat. We probably wont complete what we needed to have done until the end of the week. Reporter Atlantic City School District employees continuing to clear snow from around buildings. No classes again for the Third Straight school day. I have a newborn. Hes seven weeks old today. Its a lot of work. I know a lot of people that had to plow to get to work. Reporter among them, andrea washington, home with her five great nephews and nieces. Im just been watching tv. Reporter ive left messages for the superintendent of the school but havent heard back yet. The mayor told me he hopes and believes that schools will be back open tomorrow. Live in Atlantic City, Ted Greenberg, nbc 10 news. And the kids are asking to go back to school, theyve been out for a while. Ted, thanks for. For more perspective, lets bring in glenn hurricane schwartz. Hes tracking what is falling in the first alert weather center. You said theres a couple more hours before this moves out of the area, right . Yes. Its a rather small system and just a Slight Movement makes a big difference. For example, you can see the back edge of the precipitation go from north to south but back to the west it may be stopping. At some point, its likely to stop and that would leave the frozen precipitation around in south jersey for several more hours. The pink is the freezing rain. Its covering much of philadelphia, much of Delaware County, although there may be snow mixed in in northwest and chester still has the freezing rain, cherry hill, still in the ice and salem, northeast philly, as we show you with lauren mayk, changing over and mixing to sleet and northampton, out of the precipitation completely. And back to the west, east goshen just on the edge, a few flurries. Easttown, almost out of it. Storm ranger 10 out into the northern suburbs to check out this point and also where the changeover is occurring. Lets say radner or southeast philly. So we can zoom in because its close to where the precipitation is so the beam is not shooting high up into the clouds and its shooting closer to the earth. So it is just ended while in merion, there is light, freezing rain. Darby road has sleet. And storm ranger 10 is telling us all of this. Temperatures in the 20s in bluebell, reading, coatesville, lancaster, its getting dark, obviously, untreated surfaces are going to get icy. Farther to the south, those temperatures are warm enough to just melt and its going to stay that way. Here is the future temperatures. Were going to get rain to the south and precipitation ends north and west. Tomorrow, sunshine. Temperatures getting into the 40s in many parts of the area. Low 40s. But then after that, look at this. 43 on wednesday. 53 on thursday. We have rain coming in on thursday night. And all of the area is warming up considerably. A lot of the snow is going to be melting and warming up friday morning into saturday, by the time the eagles are playing, its going to start cooling down. The wind will be picking up and it could be more of a factor for the eagles game more than anything else. Thats seasonably chilly, nothing too extreme. And you can see the temperatures going up all the way through saturday morning, and then the showers come and we have a couple of really cold days early next week but nothing like weve just seen recently. Lets give you a live look inside lincoln financial field, the scene inside saturdays battle of the birds. The eagles host the falcons in a matchup that can only be seen right here on nbc 10. Despite being the number one seed in their conference, get this, the eagles are the underdogs against atlanta. I dont get it. John clark is joining us now from the nbc sports philadelphia. Perhaps great motivation, right . Yeah. It definitely can give them some extra motivation. Fletcher cox says it adds more fuel to the fire but they should be motivated enough with the 133 regular season. Vegas has the eagles as threepoint underdogs and its the first time that a top seed has been home underdog to a ssi sixth seed. They do not believe the birds can win without carson wentz. Torrey smith, what say you . I think were better than that but it doesnt really matter unless we show it, which is more important than talking about it. A lot of confidence. I mean, i believe in us since day one. Thats the way its been no matter what. Even more we did what we did on a regular season. People were doubting us before. The eagles have never lost a divisional playoff game at home. They are 40 in their post season history and matt ryan, coming back to his hometown, he is 13 at the linc. So just some fun facts for you. Fun facts. All right. I can digest that math. Thats fine. All right. Thanks, john. John, thanks. Unless you have a ticket, nbc 10 is the only place to watch the birds this saturday. Our road to victory coverage begins at 9 30 a. M. With inside the eagles and at 12 00, dont miss the eagles pregame coverage followed by coverage at the linc. An nbc 10 responds warning. Counterfeit tickets and merchandise is surfacing. How you can spot a fake, coming up. A live look from the commute on i95 in south philadelphia. This is the impact of a storm rolling through our area tonight and its blasting the area of freezing rain. Nbc 10 reporter tim furlong is monitoring conditions. Tim, how does it look . Reporter you know, not too bad on the main road. This is i95 heading northbound towards the city of wilmington. Were going a lot faster than we actually are the way the camera looks. Im actually going quite slow. Thats a good thing. There is moisture on the road. The side streets are where there are the biggest problems. The blacktop on driveways and on roads, the sheen is deceptive. You step on that and you lose your footing. You have to go out, be very careful. Back to you. Tim furlong, thank you so much. All right. Count on nbc 10 to bring you realtime updates of the storm to enter our region. This is rolling down the pike and who has the biggest impact on the road . Thats next at 5 00. El broke, homeless, selling my body to get high, locked up, a slave to heroin that was my life. Married, a homeowner, a professional, recovering and thriving thats my life now. I got help. You can too. New years means a new day for those struggling with addiction. Dont suffer. Dont wait. Choose help. Call 844 reachnj or visit reachnj. Gov right now at 5 00, were tracking a wintry mix. The system is impacting everyone from the Lehigh Valley all the way to the jersey shore in delaware beaches. Nbcs fleet has live conditions of the road. Our vehicles are in pennsylvania and delaware and storm ranger is bringing you a live picture in Montgomery County. Thanks for staying with us. Im erin coleman. And im keith jones. We have this whole system covered. Freezing rain and sleet are leading to icy roads, sidewalks and bridges. Nbc 10s team of reporters have fanned out across our region monitoring the impacts. And the temperatures that will lead to sleet for some people and there is sleet in some areas and freezing in some areas and at some points over our area have no precipitation at all. We have berks county and upper Montgomery County, for now, look back and everything has fallen to the south. And its going to come over our area and we could see it expand again and even precipitation gets heavier over the next couple of hours. And its more in the sleet in the purple there. And up towards bensalem, mostly sleet. This is light snow, coatesville, west chester, little light snow is not going to be as big of a problem as this area in pink and in mercer county, Ewing Township is dry now. And robinsville is in the wintry mix as well. The temperatures are critical. Its still in the 20s. 29 degrees, well talk about what happens over the next several hours coming up in just a few minutes. A live look at ocean city from the hollywood arcade boardwalk. People along the shore will see mostly rain from this weather system. Take a look now at the snow that is falling in allentown earlier today. It appears to be mixed with ice. Meanwhile, in new jersey, that didnt keep people off the roads. Lets go to pete sosna with the impact of the system. Its really neighborhood by neighborhood. The reason why, some sidewalks that you walk on are simply wet. In other neighborhoods, they havent been treated and they are an icy mess. It really just depends from surface to surface and place to place. For the sukol expressway, plenty of pennd. O. T. Trucks. It will be icy and very slippery. Another system is following the pink. Thats important here. We keep that through 7 30, 8 30 at night and eventually after 9 00, we should move that out. I pulled this right from our website and you can track where the icy conditions are and you can go right into the neighborhood zooming in. Ill show you more of that and also cameras across the area coming up at 6 00. Track this wintry mix using the same interactive radar used by our
