Transcripts For WPVI Action News At 500 AM 20180131 : vimars

From the west. No precipitation but plenty of cold air out there. We have dipped to 18 degrees in philadelphia, 16 in trenton, 15 in allentown and reading, 17 in wilmington, 18 in millville and there is a bit of a breeze in play today so your wind chills right now as you head out the door are quite a bit colder than recently. Feels like 4 degrees currently in philadelphia, eight in allentown, five in trenton, five in wilmington. You can shuffle these numbers any way you like because everybody is trading between about a 3degree wind chill up to about 10 or so as we go through the morning and as we head through the afternoon it stays on the uncomfortable side. Were going to see sunshine giving way to increasing clouds and a high of 35 degrees possibly around 3 oclock. This model has 34s in through here and also keep in mind that with winds running 10 to 20 Miles Per Hour were also looking at wind chills in the Single Digits, teens and eventually the 20s so a day definitely to continue to bundle up. And you might want to keep your eyes on the skies. Weve got a nice little moon out there and its a rare lunar trifecta last visible in north america over 150 years ago when Andrew Johnson was president. Supermoon thats because the moon is the closest in its orbit to the earth, blue moon because its the second full moon of the month and a blood moon because of a total Lunar Eclipse visible in the western United States after about 10 of 6 00 this morning part of the moon might be shaded here on the east coast but not a total Lunar Eclipse here. Another round of precipitation thursday night into friday morning. Details on that coming up. All right dave. Weve got a problem with traffic and this ramp is still blocked in west goshen township Chester County and you see the trailer here, so the trailer became unhitched from the cab in this tractortrailer and then the truck kind of went down an embankment there into the woods so a mess here on the ramp from 100 southbound to 202 southbound. We see a heavy duty tow truck on the scene here but they havent been able to pull it away just yet so its still blocked. Stick from the ramp to boot road to 202 southbound instead of this one. On the big picture another problem with a disabled vehicle that popped up in ardmore on anderson avenue. The auto show continues there in the city so youll see more congestion there through the city. Great show this year. Outside live on the schuylkill at the vine were seeing traffic move again. The schuylkill eastbound was shut down for overnight construction but its clear now. Westbound construction is clear as well so good to go on the schuylkill. Weve been watching for slick spot or two with temperatures below freezing but notny proble. Thank you, karen. Eagles running back legarrette blunt and new england patriot Rob Grankowski faced off in madden 18. My kid would go to heaven. He loves that game, there at the mall of america. Gronk came out on top. The sewer will be played at u. S. Bank stadium. Thank goodness its indoors. The 1 billiondollar stadium opened in 2016 and it was built with the super bowl in mind. 73,000 fans will be able to pack into the stadium to cheer on the teams. Now, here in philadelphia, police are getting ready their postgame security plan. Police commissioner richard ross is issuing a stern Early Warning that vandalism assault and destruction of property will not be tolerated. Police are expecting bigger crowds than came out after the vikings game two weeks ago so you will see a bigger deployment of both uniformed and plainclothes officers. Already metal barricades a being stockpiled at street corners along broad street. Coming up in the next half hour we will have more on their security plans and what youll see that will be a little different than a few weeks ago. Matt. There is plenty riding on the game for fans. While for others a win on either side might mean even more. Businesses in philadelphia and boston are making friendly wagers including the Philadelphia Art Museum where action News Reporter Jeanette Reyes who always knows when to hold them and when to fold them joins us good morning, jeanette. Reporter youre right, matt, im the goto person for that. Im already planning this next week here at the art museum to see some boston artwork. It will be one of the wagers going on. The other involves the philadelphia zoo and Reading Terminal. The eagles versus patriots showdown has everyone in a competitive spirit it seems. In fact, the philadelphia zoo and five other zoos from both regions will be taking part in a friendly wager. The losing zoos ceo will have to dress in the winning teams jersey and clean an animal exhibit as well as donate 1,000 to a program of the winning zoos choice. The Philadelphia Museum of art is also joining in on the super bowl fun. Theyre calling it the museum bowl and their rival with the museum of fine arts in boston. Curators say you can expect a good natured teasing on social media, perhaps art inspired trash talk and here is the best part. The winning citys team will get artwork loaned from the losing team. And lastly Council Members from bean town and the city of brotherly love will engage in a Friendly Food wager at Reading Terminal market. This afternoon eagles fans will see what philly made foods the market will hopefully not be shipping to boston. And matt i got to tell you i was talking to my photographer here. Sometimes my new england accent comes out and i say boston and park the car and that happens when im excited so i have to keep that in check. One thing im looking forward to is some art inspired trash talk. I might borrow a few lines and, you know, tell someone off in a very sophisticated way. Ill keep you posted on that. That was like a cezanne report. Friday night on 6abc watch our action news championship preview live from minneapolis and join us throughout the day on saturday as the excitement builds. Then on game day sunday, we will have live reports starting on action news at 6 00 a. M. , all morning long leading up to action news at noon. Our pregame coverage begins on action news at 5 00 p. M. On sunday. Action news will be on the air immediately after the game covering all of the angles from philadelphia to minneapolis and well wrap things up with action news at 11 00 and sports sunday. We have you covered all weekend long right here on 6abc. It is 5 07 and new this morning, an ambulance taking a patient to the hospital was involved in a crash just before 1 00 this morning a car swiped the ambulance at the intersection of broad street and allegheny avenue in north philadelphia. The patient was taken to the hospital in another medic unit and police are questioning the driver of the car, a woman who was not injured in that crash. Pennsylvanias highest court will hear an appeal on a lawsuit challenging philadelphias year old tax on soda and other sweetened drinks. The Beverage Industry and Business Owners say the tax has cut sales and forced layoffs. Mayor jim kenney argues the tax is crucial for funding universal prekindergarten education. The beverage tax took effect in january of last year. The Commonwealth Court upheld the tax in june. So, yes, its cold this morning but you dont think about that first when you step outside, you think i feel like im under a spotlight. [laughter] yeah, we do have that big moon trifecta Lunar Eclipse out in the pacific area this morning, here it will just be a little shading on the side after about 10 of but its the closest in its orbit to the earth but a nice big fat moon. Go out and howl at it but get in the car and put the heat on. As we take a look outside we have sky6 in center city. Not only is it cold but you can see those flags on the parkway. I love this shot in our new sky6 camera because it always indicates whether or not the winds are strong and obviously it is rather blustery in center city right now. Wind chills in the Single Digits and thats on top of these temperatures. Right now its 18 degrees in philadelphia, 15 in reading, 18 in millville and 22 in cape may, new jersey, everybody pretty much has wind chills in the Single Digits early and probably staying pretty cold later this afternoon. You can see that there is some sunshine on the way early but we do have some clouds out to the west that will tend to roll in as the morning goes on and especially the afternoon. In the Lehigh Valley sun to clouds today, brisk and cold with a high of 33. Feeling like its in the teens and 20s this afternoon. At the shore sun and clouds brisk and code a high of 36 and in philadelphia sun giving way to increasing clouds, brisk and cold with a high of 35 and wind chills in the Single Digits and teens during the morning and then getting into the 20s this afternoon with that 10 to 20 Miles Per Hour wind. Overnight tonight more clouds will build in and its not as harsh. The winds will ease back a bit. The overnight low only 29 which means when you get up early tomorrow morning it will not be as bitter as it is right now. Then in the afternoon tomorrow, a southerly flow ahead of an approaching front gets us up to a milder high of 47 degrees. Late in the day, though, that front may trigger some showers and then that pretty quick light rain moves through and is done by about 6, 7 oclock in the morning. There is the indication on some models that it could be cold enough where that changes over to a little snow at the tail end. Were not too concerned about that right now but thats something well watch for friday morning. If youre headed out to minneapolis today is your last quote unquote decent day. 31 degrees. After that the cold air rushes in. Thursday seven, friday 16, some snow is possible on saturday with a high of 13 and behind that front on sunday in minneapolis a high of just seven under the sun, probably brisk. I could see wind chills easily below zero. Your sevenday forecast, 35 degrees, brisk and cold around here today but then tomorrow mostly cloudy and we improve to 47 degrees with some rain possible late in the day or evening. Some of that rain tapers off probably fairly early on friday morning, maybe a brief changeover to snow at the end. Its ground hog day. Might be raining a little bit on phil out there to the west. 33 degrees is the high on friday. Then for the weekend brisk, still cold on saturday, 35. There could be a snow shower at night. And then sunday were watching pretty carefully. It does look like its going to be cloudy with a high of 39. There could be some rain developing during the day and that could eventually mix with some snow and theres the concern that if the temperatures drop fast enough in the evening, we might get that changeover to snow before the end of the super bowl and postgame parties. So, keep your eyes on that and you might want to plan accordingly exactly what you are going to do. Thank you david. Yeah. It is 5 11 and fema is ending its food and water aid in puerto rico as the island continues to try to recover from Hurricane Maria. Service animal or pet . An airline refuses o to let a woman fly with her animal companion even though she offered to buy eight ticket. The problem as youll find out later in the morning buzz is that the animal is a peacock. People. And our eagles super bowl coverage continues. Hear why quarterback nick foles got emotional while talking to reporters ahead of sundays big game. Karen. What kind of service does a peacock . Makes you proud. I could use a little of that. This is 422 at 23. Traffic here is moving fine. No restrictions with construction but weve got a new accident in montgomery county. Thats coming up next. Check this out, baby. Yeah, thats live, man. A rare celesteial phenomenon. This is a supermoon, a blueline and a partial Lunar Eclipse at the same time. Out in the west theyre seeing a total Lunar Eclipse. Astronomer says this is the first time on earth everyone has seen such a sight and the first time anyone has seen this in the americas in 150 years. So its closer to earth than it usually is, its a blue moon seconds in the month and then its going to be a little bloodish with the Lunar Eclipse. Back in the old days they would see things like this and see them as a sign. I think its a sign were going to win the super bowl. A good omen. I like that, tam. Clearly its a sign. Its a sign traffic is clearing up. Yeah, there are no signs that traffic okay, i really love seeing that, though. I missed it this morning and i was so excited about it. Ramp from 11 southbound 202 southbound in west goshen township Chester County an accident involving a tractortrailer but what were seeing now looks like the trailers on that tow truck. Kind of hard to tell but i think it might be so hopefully. Theyve had that heavy duty tow truck out out there for awhile. Its been closed for awhile here in Chester County. You have to use the ramp from boot road instead. Lets take you over here to a new accident on 309 bethlehem pike at mcloughlin road. Watch for this one in montgomery township. Northeast extension construction blocking the right lane northbound between quakertown and Lehigh Valley but not really causing too much of a problem so youre moving okay there. Temperatures about 16 degrees colder than yesterday, so bundle up. I wore my heavy duty coat today. 13 in quakertown. These are the temperatures. Not the wind chill. 14 in pottstown. Its only 18 degrees right now in center city. The suburbs in new jersey, 16 in browns mills, 15 in vineland. Its just 19 degrees in smyrna, delaware and the wind chills ranging from five in reading to four in the city and seven to millville. Really cold air. Its back today, yes, its still winter, tam. Indeed it is but 50s days until spring thats all i can say. Fema is halting relief supplies to puerto rico more than four months after Hurricane Maria slammed the island. Fema says it plans to end food and water shipments today because private supplies are available. It will that continue to provide assistance to agencies and organizations working in more outlying areas. Some on the island though believe its too soon to end the deliveries given that a third of residents still lack electricity and in some places running water. Utility trucks from our area are on their way to puerto rico to help try to get the lights back on. Action news was at pecos berwyn Service Center yesterday. The trucks will arrive by barge with the line men flying out in a couple of weeks. The eagles will hit the practice field in minnesota today with four days to go until the super bowl. Quarterback nick foles is playing for his teammates for his fans here in philadelphia and for someone else who keeps him motivated his daughter lily who was born in june. Everything. Thats the most important thing. When i get to when i think about this journey and everything i get home and i i get to see her. I get to see my wife and i see her and my wife like in her like just in her face in her mannerisms. Thats what its about. Foles clearly becoming em motional talking about lily. He also said he wants his daughter to grow up to be proud of her dad. Both foles wife and daughter will be at the game cheering him on on sunday. The flyers face the Washington Capitals tonight. They are looking to close out a successful january with their fifth win in the last six games. The sixers faced the brooklyn face the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Center joel embiid is set to play in back to back games for the first time this season when the sixers host miami on friday and then visit indiana on saturday. Embiid sat out the game against milwaukee on monday night to rest. Seems like an unusual bust in the u. S. Wasnt so minor for police in spain. They pulled over a car for driving erratically but found hundreds of oranges stuffed inside the car. 4 tons in all. Now, the theft of the fruit happens often in spain where orange prices get too high sometimes. They had a lot of oranges. Open my car door you never know what could come out. Food. Shoes. Food thats been eaten partially. Partially, yeah. Hes a little bit better since i got rid of the minivan i95 near the welcome center, no extra construction this morning. Were watching for some slick spots here or there. Especially on the ramp. Not seeing too many problems with it though. Just be careful out there people. Dont drive like ugg normally did which is too fast like tam. Whoa, whoa. All day following the accident on monday. Just slipped that in there dave. Hump day not fight day. [laughter] all right, weve got wind chills im going to hit you with these because this is the important number. It feels like its four out there right now in philadelphia, just seven in millville, eight in allentown. Obviously you bundle up. A little bit more than you have been recent mornings and the temperatures just temperatures alone are not going to be exactly great today. Well start out in the teens on the el station platform and the bus stop this morning and for the evening commute probably down around the freezing mark. Your high is going to be right around 35 degrees. I know this models got 36. Im thinking 35 and with the winds blowing all day long youre going to wind up seeing wind chills in the Single Digits and teens during the morning and probably in the 20s this afternoon. All green aircraft, no major delays at the Philadelphia International airport and for a change, no sign of precipitation in any of our big travel destinations. Tam. Thank you david. Going to health check there are benefits to breastfeeding not just for the baby but for mom also. A study of more than 3,000 women found that women who nursed infants were up to 51 percent less likely to have high Miles Per Hour<\/a> were also looking at wind chills in the Single Digits<\/a>, teens and eventually the 20s so a day definitely to continue to bundle up. And you might want to keep your eyes on the skies.
