We talk weather sometimes. We were talking weather a lot this morning when it was not cooperating for the morning ride, thats for sure, brian and sharrie. Its cooperating substantially more this afternoon and yet still weve got a few issues for the ride home like a crash here on the schuylkill expressway eastbound side at university city. Doesnt look like much but its enough to take out the right lane if youre traveling eastbound on the schuylkill just past university headed toward passyunk, only one lane is getting by so speeds like 10 Miles Per Hour there as you come east away from the boulevard. Also in the backlog there was a broken down truck near girard. Luckily that is now pushed off to the side. So lanes are opened there but not up ahead Near University avenue where that accident is in the right lane.

One is here in doylestown shutting down old new road near lower state road.

Turning back to our forecast adam is here now and it is a very windy day. I think i got knocked over a couple of times. Far better than yesterday. Ill take the wind over the rain. Rain just drove through on our sunday. Continuing to improve especially toward the end of the week. Live on sky6 all of that cloud cover moving out of here, barely a cloud at least on this Vantage Point on sky6 over the ben franklin bridge so were dealing with sun glare this evening for that rush hour as youre heading westbound. This morning we had a lot of those clouds and still some damp roadways but as we head into halloween tomorrow, take a look at this, guys. Its a mummy. Hes doing the twist and shout i think. Ill let him do the dancing. The forecast here winds relaxed. Clear and cool. This time tomorrow night 6 oclock your temperature at 53 degrees and by 9 oclock, your temperature coming in at 48 degrees. So, definitely a really nice evening for some trickortreating but it will be a little bit on the cool side so definitely want to maybe put on a layer underneath the childrens costumes of course dont want to put that jacket over it. As you look at the numbers 55 allentown trenton reading. 57 philadelphia 56 in dover and temperatures in the mid and upper 50s right along the shore so it is a really cool day despite weve kind of gained a little bit of sunshine here this afternoon. Winds gusting right now in the 20 to 25 miles an hour range for most locations. That is far lower than the 45 plus range we were early on today. Mount pocono the strongest right now at 28 miles an hour. Satellite and radar there go the clouds. You can see that beautiful break coming in from philadelphia all points down to the south. There is a front to the north and the west with some showers. That will remain to the north and west and our next opportunity for heavier cloud cover or a quick shower will be until wednesday. So, for tonight, partly cloudy, less wind and cool, 37 in allentown, 38 reading, 43 in millville, 45 for philadelphia, 44 in dover. As we look at the winds here as we go into halloween tomorrow, again the last day of october, still breezy, out of the westnorthwesterly direction all day sustained about 12 to 14 Miles Per Hour. There could be some higher gusts but as we go into the evening hours for trickortreating those winds do come down quite a bit so that will at least rid ourselves of any sort of wind chill factor once we lose the sun tomorrow evening. Future tracker 10 oclock tomorrow morning, i know ill be heading to a parade at presch
