Lets head outside to sky 6 hd showing you Philadelphia International airport you may want to book the flight to florida now. We could see below 0 windchills tomorrow and first another shot of snow. David murphy is outside with the latest from accuweather. It started out okay but doesnt want to give it upright now, february has featured a lot of these nuisance and sometimes more than a nuisance events. This is south of philadelphia where a morning batch of snow showers in the process of pushing south and off the coast most of this is highlighted in lighter shades of gray and its not all that intense and your temperatures in most cases are above freezing and i dont expect anything more than a light coating, temperatures will be falling, the wide view on satellite, lots of clouds and the precip in the local area, highlighted in green on the wider view and additional snow showers, they are on the way later today and tonight. 39 degrees now in philadelphia up in buffalo, only 14 degrees, it wont get that cold right away but well grab on to that colder air north of border and that is coming down into play later on. On this view, areas to the south of philadelphia have a slight southerly component to the wind and we are drawing that southwest component into reading and allentown and temperatures are beginning to level off. And in philadelphia we have time to get a couple more degrees, but things are going to change. What to expect the rest of the way, particularly behind the wheel, temperatures are plunging, i can see us below freezing by dinner time or perhaps before more spotty snow showers possible and not everybody sees them but where they hit they could produce a coating of snow than could make things slippery as temperatures drop. Here we go with temperatures a shot of 42 by 2 00 and 4 00, 37 and philadelphia by 6 00 we are below freezing and that means rural areas could be below freezing by 4 00 this afternoon and add a snow shower to the picture, you will want to slow it down. When i step inside well talk about the plunge in temperatures tomorrow and another colder shot coming the second half of the weekend.

And a live look at the center city skyline, from sky 6 hd following breaking news philadelphia named the host for next years Democratic National convention convention, we are waiting for a live statement from mayor nutter. We want to go right to city hall where mayor Michael Nutter is talking about the Democratic National convention coming to philadelphia next year. All of them have been actively engaged in this process. I want to make reference to governor tom wolf, who i have talked to on a number of occasions and he has had important discussions with congresswoman and chairwoman, debbie wassermanshultz and i want to thank Allison Schwartz who participated in many discussions in this regard. I am joined by an incredible array of really great focused committed and dedicated public servants, not just on this issue but on so many things that happened here in philadelphia and its because of all of these folks that we are able to do some of the big things that we do in the city. First and foremost let me thank councilman clark and all the city council here, i think we almost have a forum. But we are in public so its oak. Our leader councilwoman marian tasco, a member of the dnc, state senator Shirley Kitchen and the entire Senate Delegation and sharel parker and chair of the philly house delegation as well. Our Business Community represented by who was just here yesterday for a different announcements dan hillfordy, that took on a leadership role and greg fox, the chair of the Pennsylvania Convention center. Our hospitality community, i know that Jack Ferguson is running around somewhere and julie coker and merle levitz and just for extra support of course we see our great men and women in blue, the Philadelphia Police department and the Fire Department is represented. [ applause ] so as you can imagine, we are particularly excited about this opportunity. What i want to do is i have some prepared remarks and well of course take questions, but i want to give those that are not here with us at the moment the opportunity to have their voices heard through the wonders of technology, hopefully it will actually work if mark and company or someone in the back, if governor rendell can hear me would you please you have a packed room here governor please let the folks hear from you as the leader of phldnc 2016. Thank you mayor. I am looking at the back wall of the room, but its a great pleasure to be here and i want to say a few quick things and then well take some questions after the other congressmen and senators have a chance to say a word. One, the mayor he and his team did a tremendous job the mayor and congressman brady who instigated this, about a year and a half ago, pushed me and the mayor but congressman brady kind of jump started it and the mayor took the bull by the horn, on behalf of the host committee, we needed a lot of help from the city. And the mayor and his crew they were sensational. And senator casey made a strong bid for columbus and senator brown every day until we got bob casey involved. And our entire congressional delegation including Allison Schwartz. What won it for us was the 2000 convention, i think most political observers think that a lot of that team of security people the Police Department and wells fargo people, and the depth of people a lot of that team is back together on this bid and that gave them a great deal of confidence. [ inaudible ] but they were senior advisers in 2016 and we assembled a great team. They did a great job building up to this day. Everyone deserves a lot of credit and let the hard work begin literally tomorrow. Im in phoenix, so hard work waits until i get back on saturday. But we have a lot of work ahead of us and we made progress with the dnc. We intend to live up to every promise and then some. We will make a Great Convention we tend to make history again in philadelphia in 2016, with that mayor back to you. Governor thank you, very, very much. And well hear from congressman brady but i need to say a couple of things congressman brady is talking about trying to get the Democratic National convention at least from the start of the time i became mayor and those conversations heated up in 08 and 09 and unfortunately we were going through the recession and the bidding process really starts in earnest two years before a convention is landed and much to his disappointment and hi to deliver that news to him as i have to deliver bad news i said that i dont think we were in a position at that time in 2009 and 2010, to really put our focus and resources in trying to get the 2012 convention, but at his suggestion i wrote a letter to the then chair of the dnc and made a commitment that philadelphia would be first in line in actively pursuing the 2016 convention, now that was back in 2009, 2010 and you have been listening to philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter talking about the convention coming to philadelphia next summer.
