With sleet and freezing rain mixing but its all rain pretty much up close to allentown and in through philadelphia. Bad news some of this vein steady and some of your roads are definitely getting slow. All of this is moving toward the northeast. There is a break up on the other side of baltimore and we expect the rain intensity to lessen after the morning rush hour and the last of the raindrops should be moving out around midday. After that, weve got some cloud cover but maybe some breaks in the clouds. Cant totally rule out a little bit of changeover. Again if youre driving north though we have that wintry mix up in the poconos and points north and east. 47 degrees right now in philadelphia. Though the temperatures are rapidly rising down to the south. Up in allentown, still sitting on 36. Up to 38 in reading. 43 in trenton. And 54 in sea isle city. As expected we are getting warmer and we expect that number to continue to climb between 6 oclock and 8 oclock getting up to 52 degrees by 8 oclock, rising temperatures this morning. Obviously rain to start out on the way out the door. Things improve today, though. 53 degrees by 9 oclock. By noon 58 with just a few spotty showers around by noon. And by 2 oclock and three he clock were back up into the 60s. Looks like a 3 oclock high of 62 degrees at a and then 54 by 6 oclock. We will look at the departure of this precipitation on future tracker6 coming up, matt and then of course were looking ahead toward the holiday. And we are looking at some flashing lights unfortunately as we he kick things off on this tuesday morning, david. A number of accidents on these wet roadways already. This one is on the roosevelt boulevard extension. The expressway as you come southbound toward the schuylkill. This is the offramp to fox street to get into east falls and head over toward philadelphia university. That ramp is partially blocked. Youve got the right lane partially blocked as well with this truck thats involved in the accident and a lot of police and ambulances are on the scene as you can see. So, well keep watching that situation on the southbound roosevelt boulevard. Had a crash overnight on the northbound side but thats cleared out. As has our accident in delco in the northbound lanes of the blue route approaching route 30, the villanova saint davids interchange everything reopened there, all thats left is one lonely flare. Outside no construction left along the vine street expressway. Everything is reopened but crews will return tonight at 11 oclock. And one more new crash is here in montgomery county. Its the northbound lanes of 309 past springhouse, the norristown road exit. That accident taking out the right lane as the rain continues to fall on this tuesday morning. Matt. Thank you, matt. Now after weeks of unseasonably warm weather, the scold finally settling in and some parts of our region did see their first taste of wintry weather. Action News ReporterAnnie Mccormick is live in allentown which experienced a bit of sleet overnight. Good morning, annie. Reporter good morning, matt. They did have a bit of sleet overnight but right now things as david said are warming up. Its a torrential downpour. As we headed up 76, the northeast extension and now here in South Whitehall township this is what youre seeing, just a relenderless rain coming down. Take a look at this video. Everybody wanted to be prepared for any type of winter mix that could have come their way. You can see people heading over to pep boys to try to winterize their vehicles, getting coolant in their vehicles, anything that they can do for what they might see. Also, penndot was also prepared, having 12 people ready for 12hour shifts, having salt trucks ready and plows other roadways. We even saw this morning they were prepared for anything that came their way. Take a listen. When theres a rain in the forecast, first we dont typically pretreat the roadways cause well have all our crews here especially in the Northern Areas, the poconos were looking at a little Higher Elevation to be a little colder so it might be a little more treacherous up there. So, our crews will be out there from the beginning of the storm to the end. Reporter like you said heading up towards the poconos you might see a little bit more of winter if youre heading up that way but back out here live in South Whitehall township youre going to need to leave extra time when youre heading out. Thats just because visibility is poor as the rain does continue to fall but right now what were seeing is a little bit of warmer temperatures, staying above 32 degrees. Im looking over at a thermometer that says about 35 or 36 degrees right now like david said so that is helping as far as sleet goes. For now reporting live in South Whitehall township, Annie Mccormick, channel6 action news. Thank you, annie. When bad weather rolls in, tune to 6abc. Com weather. You can find the sevenday forecast and a live look at Storm Tracker6 radar any time of day right there on our web site. This is new. All lanes are back opened on the roosevelt boulevard this morning where a nasty single vehicle crash took place overnight. The action cam was on the scene near broad street in the hunting park section. The driver lost control, flipped and landed upside down on the highway just before 1 00 a. M. But was able to get himself out of the car. The only he only sustained minor scrapes and bruises. Crews worked to turn the vehicle back over and move it off the highway. It is unclear why the driver lost control. It is 5 05. Also new this morning, plan is dead after governo gunfire erupn delaware overnight on schwartz street in chester. Police got to the scene to find a man between two parked cars fatally wounded. So far no arrests. Police say theyre still looking for a motive in the crime. Also new morning, a Lehigh Valley family is mourning the loss of a sevenyearold boy who was gunned down in there miami area on sunday. Amir castro lived in allentown butter recently had moved to florida. The Miami Dade PoliceDepartment Says castro was shot in the head and killed at a relatives home on sunday. Castros grandfather says law an adventurous boy and had the determination to succeed at anything. Thats a shame. Thats what the guy took away. He never got a chance to see the good side, what his life was going to be and they robbed my daughter of that. This is the second time tragedy has struck this particular family. Castros cousin Marcus Eggleston was gunned down four years ago in allentown. Police in florida are now looking for dravon duke in connection with castros murder. Theyre also looking for four accomplices. Developing this morning the affluenza teen has been caught. Mexican authorities detained ethan couch and his mother near the popular Pacific Beach resort town of party at a vallarta.

Marshals. We should learn today if pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf will sign the budget bill. Hes scheduled a News Conference for the announcement. Despite what looked like agreement on a different package republican lawmakers instead center wolf a more contentious version of the budget bill. The 30. 3 billion package falls far short of the money that wolf wanted for Public Schools and social services. Wolf has a number of options. He can sign, veto, veto part of the bill or let it become law without his signature. So far his staff is not saying whether the spending plan is a go. All right, david, so more of the region than we anticipated seeing just rain right now, class good thing. Yeah, we got some sleet up in the Lehigh Valley overnight but as Annie Mccormick is reporting up there, temperatures are now above freezing and weve seen the Winter Weather advisory off the board. If youre in the north in the poconos you still have freezing rain and sleet and probably will until about 11 oclock this morning. Big issue for us is rain as you can see. Its everywhere and that blue well up by the poconos. As we take a look at temperatures right now, 47 degrees in philadelphia. 45 in wilmington. But more importantly up north in allentown, 36 degrees, so already above freezing there and seeing all of that change over to rain. As we look outside we have sky6 and theres the airport and things are looking pretty crummy at the airport this morning with a lot of rain and hopeful no delays building as we go into the higher traffic portion of the morning. So, future tracker6 showing us that the rain is going to be steady through the morning commute. This is the current view, of course, and then up to the north youve got that changeover to some sleet. There might still be a sleet pellet or two up in allentown but with that surface temperature so mild i doubt theres much issue on roads at this point. Different story in the poconos. Going up to noon though look what happens. We have practically no rain left. Just a few spotty showers and then later in the afternoon we might even see some breaks in the clouds so that before the sun goes down maybe a peak or two of sunshine. Up in allentown today, 49 degrees, a rainy start. A windy afternoon with drier conditions later on obviously. And at the shore pretty much the same story. Rain in the morning. Starting to taper off as we get into the afternoon. A dry finish then at the shore and a high of 62 and in philadelphia, were starting out with the rain but this afternoon we will be drying out. 62 degrees. Hopefully a little bit of sunshine and still rather blustery. Winds gusting as high as 20 miles per hour, maybe even a little higher than that as we roll through the day. In terms of temperatures it is going to be a lot milder today again. 52 degrees by 8 00 a. M. , 56 degrees by 11 00 and keeping with the theme of this cool weather season so far we are looking at another well above average high, 60 degrees at 2 oclock with that high of 62 probably around 3 oclock this afternoon. Again, your rain tapering off between now and midday. And then tomorrow, it looks like well see some sunshine in the morning and then theres the chance that clouds get a little bit thicker later in the day, some models actually have us clouding up even more than this one and some late day or evening rain is possible. Best chance will be from about philadelphia down to the shore. It looks like light showers late today, early or late tomorrow i should say and tomorrow evening. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, 62 is todays high with rain ending around midday. Tom sun to clouds on wednesday, 57 degrees and some more rain possible in the afternoon or evening, light stuff. Then thursday new years eve clouds giving way to sun, 52. Above average for the high. I expect temperatures to be around 40 or so at midnight and then dipping into the 30s overnight. And that ushers in a shot of cooler air thats going to be hanging around a lot longer. 45 degrees is all well see on new years day. It will be in the 30s at sunrise, a little blustery so bundle up if youre leaded to the mummers parade. Saturday and sunday, sunny, low to mid 40s and more of the same monday. Okay, thanks, david. 5 11 now and coming up more stories you didnt see last night a Country Music singer disappears while his friends body is found after on ominous tweet. Allegations of an uber assault go viral. More details coming up. Matt. How about another crash this morning. This one in the westbound lanes of the schuylkill expressway is approaching montgomery drive. Well talk about this crash, show you the one on 309 and the new one in camden county. Theyre rolling in after the break. Weve seen those hoverboards catch fire. More and more of them are leading to injuries and visits to the emergency room. Thats later in the buzz. Welcome back. Taking a live look here, the view out across center city. You see it looks a little hazy and misty. Were dealing with a lot of rain across the region this morning. 5 14, 45 degrees. That rain stays with us throughout the day. Matt what are you seeing out there on the roads. Its not good what im seeing is not good this morning thats for sure, matt and tam. Were just thankful that this isnt ice because were having enough trouble with the wet roadways this morning. A bunch of accidents. Theres one here on the schuylkill expressway. Its in the westbound lanes involving an overturned vehicle just approaching montgomery drive. The exit ramp right up there. So as you can see police, a fire truck, ambulance are all on the scene and theyre taking out the two left lanes as you come west away from girard on the schuylkill expressway. Expect a little slowing and as we pull in the waze app and the commuter report this morning, some of our friends already talk about the heavy traffic coming out of center city on the westbound side of the schuylkill expressway because of that crash approaching montgomery drive. If you want to stay over on the river drives like the mlk or the kelly you can do that. No problems reported but again, theyre going to be slick. You have to take it easy, especially as you rounds the corners theyre going to be big puddles and it is possible to hydroplane and lose control. Had a crash early this morning as we come out of the suburbs in delco, northbound lanes of the blue route 476 approaching villanova. That just cleared out. So you might still see a flare there but otherwise, everything is back to normal on the blue route. This is 309, the northbound side past norristown road. Thats the springhouse exit. Accident here with police other scene blocking the right lane as you come northbound toward montgomeryville and were watching a new crash by the brooklawn circle as well as that downed pole and wires in west deptford still shutting down route 44 crown point road. You can use 295 or maybe kings highway to get around that mess. Matt. Thank you, matt.
