4 00 a. M. Hour, thanks so much for joining us, both chris and lauren are off, on this friday, new years day, 2016. Many of you were just out in the city out and about still and waiting for people to come home. There the has been a terrible accident on the schuylkill expressway. We will begin with that one. Sue serio, we have our members coming in and staff and said this is a bad one, what is happening. Thing we dread every new years eve as we think about people, partying, and driving home, we dont know what caused it and it just happen. Were still getting information but we are looking at the schuylkill expressway and slow down you see is on the the eastbound side so that is going towards the the city. And we are hearing that it is an overturn vehicle, possibly more than one, on this portion of the schuylkill expressway, not too far from route one, bala cynwyd exit so right there in between where you get off for city line avenue and where you get off for vine street expressway. Traffic is very slow in that area, and it looks like, it was stop and go at this point, of course, still in the middle of the night for a lot of people two minutes after 4 00 in the morning. We will get you you more information on this terrible accident, which is on the schuylkill expressway eastbound, looking right now at the resulting backups. So you want to avoid that if at all possible. That is, unfortunately how we will get started track wise this morning. Weatherwise we dont have any problems to tell but. There is just a lot of cloud cover in in the area, and, no rain and we dont have any rain in that forecast for this first day of the year. That is where were starting off here. Temperature right now is 41. Chillier then it was yesterday at this time with a little bit of the breeze, sunrise time is 7 22. We are seeing a lot more traffic in our neighborhood, foot and car traffic, much more than then we would normally see at 4 00 in the morning anytime but it was new years eve last night. So we have 37 degrees in pottstown, 30 in mount pocono. Thirtyeight in trenton. Thirtynine Atlantic City and 38 degrees in dover. That is, those temperatures are a lot more chillier as we said then they were yesterday. Wind coming out of the west makes it feel colder, so as you are preparing for perhaps to go to the mummers parade today you definitely want to layer it up. Here is your planner for new years day much colder to start, sunshine but it will be chilly. We will get to army high of 46 , it will be in the 30s right after sunset. Sunset time his 46 00 p. M. That takes care of your friday forecast for this new years day. We will take you through weekend and beyond with chillier changes coming up in your seven day forecast just ahead. All right. Look at all of the fire works they were amazing. We caught some of the 6 00 oclock show. What a wonderful time. People ring nothing 2016.

He will make it at 6 00. He is just waiting for this new pedestrian sobriety checkpoint to go away which should be around 5 00 oclock and then he will walk into work but he doesnt want to get stopped and check at new pedestrian checkpoint. Said ps, when did they start these. The it is just one for our station and employees and he wouldnt get through it if he tried to get to work. Were at 15th and Market Street, which now is sealed off, to car traffic, and you can see city hall all lit up in the background. Look at clock five have after 4 00 a beautiful morning compared to any other time i have ever covered this and beautiful, is really an under statement here when lou along Market Street and normal parking spots for Council People and all. That these are costumes. If you dont know what a mummer is, folks, men wear these things individually. Look at this thing in the pink and white here. A guy gets in that and you can see wheels, kind of leak a shopping cart at the grocery storm but a guy is in that same with this case more wheels with this, somebody gets in that, that is one mans costume and then is there a scare crow there, the the list goes on. So they have a all that stuff set up because remember, they are going with what they did last year. They are starting the the parade here, and then going down broad street to south philadelphia, where normally we would see these things down in south philadelphia at the clubs where the guys are getting their make up on right now and getting their costumes on and tuning their instruments and doing everything and getting ready. Then they will fill all these rental trucks and then they come up here, stage around here and then they start the strut down broad street. You have to like mummers anymore these days because it is real willly only parade we have got until next thanksgiving. We had four parades but it will be a long, long time i think before we even have a sport championship parade town in this town again. 2008 seems so long ago. You are what did you do last night, steve. Reporter i actually was able to sleep, the key is, putting electric fans on so i dont hear fire works. Guess what i have a fire works show in my backyard tonight, not right over the fence, my neighbors, the greatest neighbors in the world one of their daughters is getting married.

It is the end of the era for philadelphias mayor michael nutter. He was on the the show yesterday. He said in front of the media one last time as mayor at city hall. He used this time to reflect on his eight years in the office and announced big idea for delaware waterfront. He is behind a new ten milliondollar study to look at area around i95 in penns landing and hopefully get the more access and more revitalization. I think everybody has recognized that in the whole scheme of things the place. Of i95 where it has been put and damage it has done to this city and number of others is pretty clear. Philadelphians. Nutter was also looking back at two terms in mayor and says he feels confident that philadelphia a is a better place now then before he took office.

We have some good news when it comes to jobs in the city of philadelphia, unemployment has gone down, dropping to 5. 9 percent, lowest it has been since april e the recession began according to the Mayors Office more philadelphians are employed now then at the any point all the way back to 1990. 40,000 jobs have been added since january of 2008. It his 10 00. We have had some problems, robberies, lot of people unsettled, in some of the most historic neighborhood of the city. Police say at least one person, in olde city has been busy robbing people at gunpoint, in the past few weeks there have have been at least four armed robberies in olde city or society hill and all of these hold ups have been happening between 9 00 a and 11 00. No one has been arrested but it is the the talk of the community. My wave was going to come out and walk the dog tonight like she normally would but i didnt feel safe having her walk alone so im out here with her. We have little ones out and about a lot. I have always felt this was a safe neighborhood so it is unnerving. Some Business Owners we have spoken to said they feel secure because they have noticed more police in the the area it is unclear if the same person or whole group have of people is behind the robbery. In Radnor Township Police are searching for a man considered armed and dangerous. Police say Kenneth Jones that guy is responsible for an Armed Robbery that happened december 17th. Investigators say he approached landscapers and robbed them of that are cash. It was all on the 100 block of pine tree road. Several schools were force to go to lock down while police searched for that guy. He is wanted for similar crimes in montgomery county. Mayfair a seven fiveyear old woman was shot in the face while she was simply walking home from the store. This morning, that gunman is still on the lose, community is concerned. The Authorities Say that the crook, followed judy richie as she walked home from the Grocery Store on thursday morning, snatched her purse, around ten in the morning and then shot her in the cheek. The it was all on erdick street and a crime that has riled up the the neighborhood. It is just horrible. Horrible. I cant believe that is happening here. Im or toy see what happened to her. New years eve. Happy new years. This is what we have to look forward to around here. Richie, wounded and bleeding, somehow manager to keep going and get to her house where her husband was to call police. The armed robber made off were 400 and a cell phone. He was in the silver car but detectives hope surveillance cameras can get more clues. Many of us are making new years resolutions including that person, the president of the united states, what he is planning for his last year in office. Plus someone here at home is a lot more luck year, they have won a milliondollar, where a Lucky Lottery ticket was sold. Welcome back. Those are winning lottery numbers from last night, meanwhile, our power ball jackpot, continues to grow, but even with no grand prize winner on wednesday there is a a lucky Ticket Holder in our area, of a milliondollar richer. So someone bought a Winning Ticket from a sunoco station market, one right the there on cottman avenue. The ticket matched all five white ball numbers from wednesday nights drawing but not the red power ball number. That market will get 5,000 bonus and that has customers buzzing. It is a wonderful thing. Glad this is the the store that did it. Were you thinking it was you. Yes, i dreamed it and that is why i ran around here with my tickets but unfortunate thely im not the the one. I think a winner in the the store helps bring in more people. This is going to go straight the price. Another person in erie county bought a ticket worth 150,000. They are two of the 96,000 winners in pennsylvania, but even with all of those lucky tickets, the saturdays power ball jackpot up to 334 million. It is 4 16. We had a bad accident on the schuylkill expressway, we will check into see what is happening right now if there has been some action in that capacity, sue. We are looking at penndot cameras and they are moving around as we get the a better view but you can see emergency vehicles there we saw earlier a vehicle that was between the median and that has been cleared, but what we have going on is youre looking at the backup, eastbound on the schuylkill expressway, going in to the city, right. So that is the the lefthand side of the screen. They are letting lanes through it was temporarily block. They have cleared the vehicle but it was a scary sight there seeing it strad that he will concrete median strip in the middle. Emergency vehicles are still responding as you can see. Traffic is slowly starting to get by but it ace a huge backup eastbound on the schuylkill expressway. They had within lane block westbound and it looks like at least two lanes get by westbound and it is in the as slow going that way but i say again this was an accident on the schuylkill expressway eastbound near montgomery and it is, slowing traffic down considerably. Travel speeds near the accident are not great averaging 21 miles an hour. Or wise you can get the to the posted speed limit where ever you happen to be going but you cannot emphasize enough, of course, with it being new years day and all that you need to be careful on those roadways this morning and that is what were always afraid of on new years eve, our traffic accidents. So that is what is going on with that. The lets take a look at our weather for new years day, and we will start off with a mummers cast if you will of the forecast for the mummers parade which is a forecast for all of us. By 8 00 we should be around 37. The it will be cold are then it was but it is a tranquil morning. It may be a chilly breeze about 40, by 10 00 oclock and it will stay chilly all day with temperatures remaining in the 40s, but there will be plenty of sunshine, so as long as you are on the sunnyside of the street you should be okay. You see what is happening . Jet stream is sinking southward and we were on the warm side of that jet stream all through christmas. Now were seeing north westerly wind moving in. The it is a new year, new pattern for our weather and you have to get used to those colder temperatures. As farrah as precipitation is concern there is a lot to the south, down in georgia, the the carolina coast but nothing for us to be concerned about. Not even the lake effect snow, which is what you see up here around buffalo and east of lake on tear yes as well, that is an indication of the cold air that is coming in but we dont expect any of those flurries to reach us, today, there is a chance though, that you could see a snow flurry or two tonight with just a few flakes flying around. The just flurries, just a flurry. 37 degrees in pottstown. Thirtyseven in allentown. Thirty in mount pocono. Fortyone is your current temperature in philadelphia were in the 30s in lancaster, wilmington, dover, millville at 39 at the moment. And wind are starting to pick up a little will bit at 9 miles an hour out of the west in philadelphia, that makes it feel colder. So here we are with our average high of 41, we were so farrah above average last week for christmas, that it was crazy, a and new we have been still above average the past couple days even though it is chillier with 52 degrees, three days in a row, tuesday, wednesday and on new years eve. Today we dont expect to get out of the 40s, 44 or so for our High Temperature, 43 tomorrow and then 45 on sunday. Were still above average but feeling more like wintertime and then we will get the a blast of cold air on monday and tuesday, and tuesday mornings temperatures will be about 21 degrees when we all get together at this time of the day on tuesday morning. So, this will be quite a shock to the system a as we have temperatures, and actually karen, feel like winter. Yes, it is about time, thank you, sue. It is 4 20.

We are going to squeeze every last ounce of progress that we can make when i have the of privilege, as long off the privilege of holding this office. Reporter other big goal for 2016 helping to defeat whatever republican end up winning the g. O. P. Nomination next year. He played more golf last year then tiger woods, it is ridiculous. Reporter es specialry donald trump who appears to get under the president s skin. I think we will have a strong democratic nominee and i think that democratic nominee will win. I think i will have a democratic successor and i will campaign hard for that to happen. Reporter for starters would it be essential for keeping the president s agenda attack in coming year but there in lies the delicate balancing act for the president in 2016, pushing items like gun control, transpacific trade deal and enclosing the prison at guantanamo bay, things that could be controversial but at the same time he does not alienate potential democratic and independent voters, come november. If he is serious about electing the the democratic many in minute knee he will have to find ways to be less controversial and to appeal to a broader section of the public. Can he do it . I dont know. Reporter no one really knows at this point but it is clear as his vacation winds to a close this weekend the the president will be looking ahead to a new year that could well determine what his legacy, really will be.
