Septa is running 14 sports express trains along the broad street line to take that down to the at t station. That is a good way to go to get to the game tonight. Couple accidents on the main line. One along lancaster avenue at ardmore, another in wynnewood along haverford road at beechwood drive. A crash in east fallowfield along 82 northbound. Use youngs bird road instead of route 82. Construction ran late along 100 southbound so thats cleared. Thing looking better there. We have that water main break in maple shade along 73 at stiles avenue. Lane blocked in both directions. That is definitely not where you want to be this afternoon. Well check it again, brian and sharrie, coming up in the 5 oclock hour. Okay, matt, thank you.

The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, big turn around here. Much warmer tomorrow at 68. Sunny, gorgeous on wednesday. 74 degrees and then 75 ahead of a cold front on thursday. Thursday well have a decent amount of cloud cover with some sunshine with that front but not much moisture with it so dont expect much in the way of rain. Then behind that friday, saturday temperatures back into the lower 60s, sun and clouds and then well start to modify that temperature a little bit on sunday. Still dry, 67 and then limited sun, maybe a shower come monday of 62 degrees. So, our dry stretch continues and those temperatures all over the place here for the next seven days.
