Arctic blast that will freeze things up. Strong winds coming this afternoon, gusts up to 50 miles an hour. Refreezing tonight as temperatures plunge. I can see on the radar rain continues out of the southwest. Its going to stay wet for several more hours. We do have snow farther to the north and west. Most of the icing has moved now into new jersey and some places like allentown have changed from freezing rain and rain back to snow. In some cases that will be better than ice. But you can see some of the rain a little bit on the heavy side thats coming in. The temperatures are critical mount pocono way below freezing. Allentown is now 31 Quakertown Doylestown 32. These temperatures are going to be falling as we go through the afternoon. These temperatures are going to fall, too, but they have got a farther way to go. So it will be until tonight that were going to see any kind of refreeze in the philadelphia area. Trenton is only 33. So, again, they only have a couple degrees to go. Look how warm it is down south. Its in the 50s. So like i said tremendous variation across the area. So here are the temperatures as we go through the afternoon. They are dropping down through the 30s and into the 20s. Here is 4 45 this afternoon. Were into the 20s in redding and allentown. There we go into the 20s in the philadelphia area. By around 7 00 tonight. So were going to see temperatures drop real fast. So we need that wind to start drying up the ground or else were going to have a lot of ice around here tonight. More about the timing and these temperatures and what to expect where you live with the sevenday in a few minutes. As glenn just mentioned, the worst of the wintry mix Lehigh Valley. Storm force 10 on the road throughout the morning checking out conditions in the area. Nbc 10s matt delucia joins us. You saw the snow and slush causing a lot of problems out there. A lot of problems vai. The roads are still wet right now. Lets give you a look out here. From storm force 10 dashcam. Were on 476. We spent most of the day farther north in the Lehigh Valley. Thats where we did see quite a few issues. This one right here caused a big problem. We happened to drive up to this tractortrailer that went off the road and over the guardrail on the northeast extension right after it happened a little after 3 30 this morning past the quakerstown exit. Northbound lanes shut down. All traffic forced to get off at quakerstown. Just before this crash, we did notice a few drivers were going well past the advised speed limit of 45 miles per hour. There was quite a lot of snow rain, ice on the highway at that time. Flash forward to later in the morning. Once we had that rain the plows were able to get that messy slush off the road but rain fell all morning, depending where you are, and that made things slow and messy. Slushy more than anything. I came from king of prussia area up to lehigh. More ice there than king of prussia. You have to take it slow and be careful and dont do anything stupid. Now, over in new Jersey State Police say more than 100 crashes had been reported this morning and there are still speed restrictions on many major roads. As we look live on 476 it is mostly wet. The bulk of those travel problems continue up in the Lehigh Valley especially that big rig crash on the northeast extension. So if you are heading out today be careful and be safe. Live in storm force 10. Im matt delucia, nbc 10 news. Thank you, matt. Check in with jill. You have an alternate to get around that accident matt just showed us . Its been out there for hours, approaching 4 00 this morning. A long time here. That tractortrailer went off the road so a lot of work needed to be done. Stick to 309 if youre planning to use the northeast extension that is going to be your best bet a live look in the Lehigh Valley route 22. Roads are wet. That can be deceiving.

Waiting for proof of life for a pilot captured by isis militants. They want proof the pilot is still alive before exchanging a jailed iraqi militant as part of the swap deal. The pilot was taken hostage in august after his jet crashed in an isiscontrolled territory in syria. Dozens of people gathered outside japans Prime Ministers Office to pray for the two japanese hostages killed by isis. Over the weekend isis released a video that purports to show journalist kenji goto being beheaded over the weekend. Japans Prime Minister said the country will take on a role in the international communitys fight against terrorism. Over the weekend, some russian attack helicopter arrived in baghdad to help in the fight against isis. In this video from the Iraqi Ministry of defense, you can see helicopters being unloaded from a cargo plane. The helicopters will be deployed to Northern Iraq where the harsh Winter Weather and thick mud hindered soldiers on the ground there. Some teachers in pakistan are now carrying firearms. This decision comes one month after 140 students and staff were killed when taliban gunman stormed a school in peshawar.

That building has since been closed since september of 2013 when 12 people were killed. The gunman was killed by police since that shooting. The building was renovated with a new layout and appearance. Now nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. Well the poconos are about the only place that had a lot of snow, 10 inches of snow. Other parts of the area may have to be dealing with icy conditions. That may be the biggest problem before this whole storm is over. We have strong winds that are going to be coming in later today and into this evening helping for that refreezing tonight with some icy conditions. Now, what types of icing are we talking about in what do we mean when we say that . Icy spots, least threatening. Here, there, little ponds that freeze up. Icy areas a little bit more widespread. What were talking about possibly happening tonight is a flash freeze where all that slush thats out there, you better get rid of it this afternoon because its going to freeze up tonight because temperatures are going to plunge so much. Black ice is what we had that other sunday where the ground looks like its wet. Theres blacktop underneath looks like nothing and its a solid area of ice. Not so much expecting that. Flash freeze is a serious thing. Well have to watch that through the afternoon. We have a lot of clouds around. Theres rain in some places. Its 38 in philadelphia with northeast wind. So weve pretty much stopped warming up. Thats going to be part of our problem. See, the wind flow now out of the north, we had southerly winds, brought temperatures into the 50s in delaware and south jersey but thats moving offshore. When the west winds come in thats when the real cold air starts. Of course temperatures are critical. Were going to take a look at a lot of these. Wrights town 32 trenton 33. And as we go up to the north, allentown is 31 quakertown 32 mount holly is only 33. Look how warm it is to the south. Dover was in the 50s an hour ago. Lets head to Lehigh County no Serious Problems now outside poconos, going to happen this afternoon. Down to 30 in allentown, 30 in mertztown. These temperatures will go down. We have some snow this afternoon. 33 in white haul. Bucks county lower bucks, just a little bit above freezing. Levittown at 33 middle furlong and warrington at 33 yeardley at 33. But only 32 in dodoilstown, perkasie. We dont have far for temperatures to go down. Montgomery county, a little milder. Eagleville only 33 and 35 in pottstown. Now, we still have plenty of moisture. So the roads are going to stay wet for several more hours. There may not be enough time left in the day for the wind to help dry out the roads. Thats what im concerned about because the future weather models are bringing this rain and moving it out maybe too fast. Then theres a bit of a changeover to snow. So we have some snow showers in the Lehigh Valley and poconos this afternoon. That could also lead to some problems with icing tonight. So we have that change to snow up to the north. We have flash freeze possibility up to the north and some icy areas to the south during the night tonight. So as we go through the day, rain to ice to snow in some areas. Strong winds. Big temperature contrast. Gusts to 50 miles an hour possible later today. So a lot going on. Then were down into the teens in the city tonight. Perhaps Single Digits in some suburbs. So thats why everything is going to freeze up. Then wednesday, were up to 42. Then we get another blast coming, a chance of a little bit of snow on thursday and another arctic blast for friday.

We have some nasty weather in parts of the area. Weve got a first alert weather day out there, and its especially true for the poconos, Lehigh Valley burks county upper montgomery and upper bucks counties. Weve got that icy mix changing to snow in those areas with the temperatures plunging as strong winds come in during the afternoon. Gusts over 40 miles an hour during the afternoon. Refreezing tonight as temperatures drop sharply and not just through the 20s but into the teens by tomorrow morning. And that will cause any kind of slush overnight. Cannee eesee all the rain on the radar. Need several hours for the roads to dry out before this cold air comes in. That rain is not helping things. We have some snow still up in the poconos. Weve had a change to snow in allentown over the last couple of hours. You can see its a fairly solid area and not all just light. What its doing, it keeps the roads and sidewalks and driveways moist, that cold air, coming in overnight tonight. Look at rain still on the radar at this particular hour. The temperatures are down in some areas. 30 in allentown. We were 32 a couple hours ago. Its already dropping. That will cause some more icing issues. Reading is 35 pottstown 35, lancaster. A band of snow coming down. That will help keep things moist and a little bit slippery. Especially in Northern Areas where its already cold got to take it easy on the roads. Cant just assume that everything is wet. Look what happens here this evening. Temperatures drop into the teens. By 9 30 tonight, even philadelphia is down to 21. Northeast philly 19.

Al i understand new England Patriots scheduled their parade for tomorrow at 11 00 a. M. That going to be a problem . Well, you know, vai, ive got to tell you, i think it could be in doubt for two reasons. One, the roads are a mess. Youre going to be seeing much cooler air, colder air coming in. Whatever is on the ground now is going to freeze solid. Two, they may have trouble getting flights in. They have charters obviously. Weve heard reports. Weve not gotten confirmation that one of the first flights out from phoenix to boston had to be diverted to jfk. That had staff, patriots staff and family members on it not necessarily the players. Its going to be interesting to see what happens. As youve been mentioning, snow amounts chicago, detroit big, big snowfall amounts. The other issue were watching this icing situation. Weve got the rain snow line. This may get into philadelphia or at least north of philadelphia in your northern suburbs in the next few hours. Weve had a quarter inch of ice in altoona, pennsylvania,. 12 inch in central mass. Somerville, new jersey pittsburgh,. 01 inch of ice. What were watching with this radar, were watching freezing rain, ice line set up. As it does thats going to be the problem, vai. So the snow for you guys thats done. That moved on. But you could see some decent icing which will cause some problems for your afternoon rush hour. Here it is setting up. Now, right now you guys are in pretty good shape. But that could be changing if this cold air continues to slip south and you got this fairly decent slug of moisture coming in. So i know hurricane schwartz will be watching that very closely.

Here now to talk to us about how to prevent home fires is philadelphia commissioner sawyer. Tell us some things people can do to help prevent fires in their homes. A few things. First of all, a working smoke alarm. Almost 80 of the homes we visit that have fires do not have working smoke alarm. If they had a working smoke alarm and tested that that would be the first step ensuring safety. A couple of deaths last week. Yes, thats correct. Because somebody did not have smoke alarms. The second thing is a home escape plan. Escape route. Once have you the smoke alarm thats working, make sure you can get out and stay out. Those two things can keep people safe. Its important not to just have the escape plan but practice it. With Young Children this is something that need to know what to do, where to go how to gather especially in the middle of the night. This is a problem you often what else other things . What about technology. Are there ways to use technology to prefer you self for these disasters. We view smoke alarms as technology. Working on technology for cooking fires. For example, testing going on to have stove tops where burners dont get too hot. That will help reduce cooking fires also. Technology is a good source. Once again, main thing is having a plan how to get out. Portable heaters. Wintertime. We know people will use space heaters to keep warm. The key to space heaters, space heaters need space. Three feet around anything that burn including yourself. A space heater getting warm sitting close to it your clothing can catch fire also. We want to make sure you remind everybody at least three feet from anything that can burn. Especially folks in homes where theres Young Children or elderly and more prone to use those space heaters. Children pets. Pets can tip over space heater. Speaking about technology the newest space heaters have tip control, where space heater gets tipped over it shuts offer. Make sure using newest equipment, Underwriter Laboratory approved make sure you use safety especially around children and pets.
