Over to matt pelman live in the action news traffic center. Go eagles matt. Yeah, we need to get you home so you can start the Super Bowl Weekend<\/a> but unfortunately were not flying on the way home in honor of our birds tonight. Schuylkill expressway, its very heavy here in the eastbound lanes as you come away from center city through this point in south philadelphia. You have to either keep going on the schuylkill or exit for passyunk avenue. You cannot get onto 26th street southbound and head toward the platt bridge. Reason is those traffic lights at 26th and penrose still arent working. I showed you this shot and the police out there directing traffic in the intersection. Now theyve just blocked off 26th street southbound entirely. So on the schuylkill you cant access it. You could keep going on the schuylkill over to broad street and then run broad street on down to 95 southbound. That could be another option for you. If youre crossing town on the vine street expressway we had a crash right about here by eighth street. Cleared out now but still some slow traffic there heading over toward 95 and the merge there in the typically busy spot. Its been really busy this afternoon on the northbound side of 476, the northeast extension. Still just 3 Miles Per Hour<\/a> coming up from quakertown and its all thanks to an earlier crash that did block the roadway just north of the Lehigh Valley<\/a> interchange. Open now but i would still avoid it. The jam is colossal. Head to 309, 145 and 33 instead. In worcester near the Elementary School<\/a> a crash along Skippack Pike<\/a> at valley forge road and in pennsauken watch out for oneonone 30 northbound at terrace avenue taking out the right lane. Who cares about all of that . Its all about the birds. Go bird this weekend. Ill see you monday rick and monica. You got it. Just get home. Thank you, matt.

On the stage up of adorable cheerleaders who led everyone in the cheers and the un they had a balloon popping contest. Well, you Better Believe<\/a> the players can feel all this team spirit all the way to minnesota. Lets find out as we head to ducis apody live in bloomington with the latest on how the team is getting ready. Hey, guys. Reporte special guest with us former eagles defensive star jerem here to minnesota because you want to see the patriots go down in person, correct. No doubt man. I had to come out check my boys out. I couldnt. In this position against the patriots. Right. Here the eagles are again. Is that uncanny. Its amazing man. Im i cant be more happy for my guys the city and, you know, i remember just after the game was over and the nfc championship game sitting on the couch like whoa we going back and it makes you appreciate, you know, what we were able to accomplish 13 years ago because i mean its not easy to get back. I know the patriots make it look easy but its hard to get back to the super bowl. Reporter its the friday before the super bowl, the eagles have wrapped up their practice, theire flown in. Whats that like when youre about 48 hours before the life. Well, im sure the jitters are starting to set in a little bit. You trying to put the final touches on the game plan tonight and then tomorrow, its just a quick walk through and youre really trying not to play the game too early. I can imagine what the guys are going through with family members and your phone ringing offer the hook so you trying to distance yourself so you can youre trying to treat it like a normal week but once you get down here you know its nothing normal about it. Those guys have done a great job playing loose all year. Ive seen some of the coverage this week. Ame thingo im pretty sure theyll hit the field as loose as possible. Weve seen a lot of 0405 week. You talked about how its so hard for you that you werent able to finish that job. You still had to watch in nfc championship game or the super bowl game shall i say. What would it mean for this team to be able to do that for the city of philadelphia and what is it about this team that makes you think they can. It would mean the world not just for the guys that played in the super bowl 13 years ago but for the city, you know, jeffrey and then to be able to do it against the team that beat us, that would make it a little bit more special, so, you know, im hoping those guys get the win. Like you said i havent watched the super bowl not once so if we get the win when we get the win. Reporter when we get the win. You know, ill probably watch it. I wish you guys could see all the fans around here to see the ax man here. In terms of on the field xs and os what do you think the biggest key to this game is. I think well listen, belichick is a genius Everybody Knows<\/a> that. Its no secret. I think if the eagles come out, theyre going to have to show something that belichick hasnt seen before because belichick can go back to when you played in high school and serious hell go back to when you playe high school. I know doug was school a little bit before he got back into the nfl and so hes going to have to give him somethings he hasnt seen. Hes going to have to have two or three different game plans and try to keep belichick and that defense off balance. You you told m hate the patriots, right . Still hate em. [laughter] my hate still runs deep for those guys. How about eagles, eagles. Come on trot. Yall ready . Eagles, eagles thats the ax man. That is awesome. For jaime apody, Jeremiah Trotter<\/a> im Ducis Rodgers<\/a> reporting live from minnesota at the super bowl with the birds. Back to you guys in the studio. Allight. Thank you. Quite a cheer. Best.

Tj and Stephanie Dolan<\/a> are fierce football fans but as a pats tj says whoever wins on sunday will determine who his son and of course shes hoping its the eagles. When it comes down to it, my family isnt going to be the ones that see my son every day. Its going to be his who is going to be influencing him and for that reason im a little im a little worried cause this game means a lot more to my family and our future anything.

Apparently a 26yearold man was shot in the back as he was a norristown train. He was rushed to temple university.

Well keep an eye on the situation and update you as more information become available on this shooting here along north broad street. All right, adam is here with the accuweather story for the weekend. A lot of activity parties and we want to know what about next week. If youre prepping for sunday, tomorrow perfect dry conditions sunshine a little cool but then the rain sets in here on sunday. We look at the action cam and fly eagles fly and thats the way the flags are doing today, thats exactly what they were doing is what im trying to say here. They were getting quite a workout with those really strong cold winter winds out of the northwest but those winds easing overnight tonight. We head to the weather sent we chat about the game here on sunday and if youre having a party i tell you that weather is going to go a little downhill the second half of the weekend. If we can go to the weather sent we will show you, thank you, theres sunday 6 30 p. M. , we got that lombardi trophy sitting very comfy and happy on the eagles side here and thats where it will stay. As we look at the numbers 43 degrees for your Pregame Party<\/a> in the afternoon with that rain coming down. Will begin as a little wet snow in the northwestern suburbs before it changes to rain. During the game still a steady soaking at 42 degrees. And then when its time to celebrate that rain will start to ease a little bit with temperatures of 40 degrees later on in the evening. With that wind today again those wind chills have been on the brutal side. Eight right now in allentown same for wilmington, seven in reading, 10 philadelphia. And feeling just 11 degrees in millville. We had a lot of clouds today especially the front end of the day with that rain early this morning and a couple of snow showers to follow but those clouds beginning to break apart. So, it will turn clear overnight tonight, bitter as those winds relax but still those air temperatures only between about 10 and 17 degrees. Those winds that clocked in near 40 miles an hour today will be down to six to 12 miles an hour. 33 is the high tomorrow but another one of those days where the air temperature doesnt matter. Were going to have that sunshine, clouds build ahead of this system in the afternoon. Wind chills only in the 20s despite that air temperature just above freezing. And then on super bowl sunday some brief snow at the onset north and west of philadelphia. And then it will switch to rain there but for philadelphia to the south its mainly rain from start to finish, probably around a half an inch on average and were talking about here on sunday into sunday night. The poconos will pick up two to 4 inches of snow before they mix a little bit late saturday night sunday afternoon to sunday evening. In the Lehigh Valley<\/a> far northwestern suburbs a quick coating to an inch before it flips to rain and melts that coating to an inch and for the i95 metro area south jersey and delaware maybe a couple of flakes late sunday morning into the early afternoon before that rain takes over. As we look at the accuweather 7day forecast, 33 tomorrow. It is your dry day to get the errands done. Cloudy wi taking over, 43 on sunday and then behind it temperatures drop,ew clouds blustery and cold and then clouds build ahead of the next system, a pretty active pattern, 41 on tuesday. Mild and rainy wednesday, 52 degrees. And then turning sharply colder behind that as well as we go back into the upper 30s on thursday and friday so rather wet roads and thats the way its going to be.
