Today is a cold front which toss knock temperatures back but for now it is just so mild, that it will knock us back to 10 degrees above average as opposed to 20 or so we are finding here today. Heres that front, it is fizzling so we may see a shower in the poconos. Maybe we will see a shower anywhere else but generally speaking i dont think we have to deal with much more than just clouds. Upper 60s from front on and philadelphia look at mount pocono, 67 degrees, even in the mountains here this morning. A really, really warm start to the take, as 68 is your number from ocean city the toy stone harbor down to cape may. So again 68 degrees, that is above the seasonal high, for this day of the year. It is obviously, very warm to start things off, we have no problem as a result rebounding another say 20 degrees or so here. Eightyfive is the spec high in philadelphia today. That is not just a record breaker but it is a record smasher. The record is 80 setback in 1947. Notice cool down comes down but 76 to put tonight perspective a solid ten above the average. We will see additional showers friday, meisha. So still cant get over here all morning long and i cant believe were talking about 85. We have construction at 95 between cottman and bridge street. Traffic was temporarily stopped for quite sometime. Because of that it backup. We were seeing pretty significant backups.

Construction 422 between trooper and route 23 weft bound the right lane ace affect, eastbound, left lane also eastbound side between limerick and oaks. That will be affected because that construction is as well. What were looking at right here is crews out there on 202 around king of prussia north bound between, king circle and Township Center boulevard that right lane is compromised right now, hopefully that will be, a lot of this construction will be moving out of your way.

You would not think it would back you up at 5 00 in the morning but it is. The it is a big problem. Yes. It tend to be, right. Anytime you have construction it will slow you down but weather is cooperating. We may see a shower here and there but you have to go far north for that during daylight hours. Looking at storm scan here at least localized zoom, all you have got is frankly throwing. But there is nothing to actually report. When i put things in motion and put satellite on top of this, even still there is a big deal of cloud cover but it is generally pretty clear. Heres a hint of that moisture. See how you could see a shower far off in the north in the mountains but over all the front that is moving through is actually weakening and fizzling with time
