Both days are warm but one day far better than the other. Right now temperatures were still a bit on the chilly side but this is normal for this time of year to be sitting the at that 40 degrees for philadelphia, syracuse burlington vermont 26 degrees but look just to the west pittsburgh right now 52 degrees. That warmth it is waiting and theres a good bubble of that warmth to the south and west. Raleigh 52, cincinnati 56, even chicago right now sitting at 50 degrees and then youve got some 60s saint louis and memphis new orleans 65 degrees. High pressure down to the south and that high will that continue to push off the coast but what that is going to do is allow this front near minneapolis right now, slices through chicago tomorrow and then approaches here early on sunday morning and you can see a good amount of green on the radar here. This is 8 30 on sunday morning with a solid area of very light to moderate rainfall and that front will continue to progress through as we get into the second half of sunday. So, for the weekend ahead, upper 50s for saturday, definitely the pick of the weekend with lots of sunshine. The only thing about tomorrow is pretty strong winds. Then a rainy sunday on tap but it does dry out for our northwestern suburbs, our counties in pennsylvania could see that that rain end on sunday afternoon and then Colder Weather sets in monday night into tuesday were i was chance for some snow showers.

Carson wentz on a whim finally stood in his locker today and decided to break his silence. We havent heard from wentz since he walked off the field after the heartbreaking injury on december 10th in los angeles. Turns out he not only tore his acl but his lcl as well. Hes hopeful he can return week one next season. You got to feel for carson a competitor who surely is dying to be out there with his team. He talked about how tough it is to just be watching from afar. Yeah, i wouldnt say its a prideful thing. As humans we all want to be the competitors that we are and be out there on the field. Every time the offense is on the field on sundays its tough. It hits me a little bit but then im in it because i love these guys and im part of the team just as much as anybody else. I get involved in the game and that kind of all goes away but yeah without a doubt, im a human, it sucks to not be out there but i love watching the guys and i couldnt be happier for nick. Reporter well, hes actually here every day at 6 00 a. M. In the quarterback room with nick foles helping him to prepare. He said he kind of held a pity party for himself that first week but then he picked himself up and is rooting the team on. Hell be going with the team to minneapolis and will be on the sidelines as they played the patriots and he said a super bowl win would be awesome, would be awesome. He had to say it twice.

We were just so happy to be in minnesota for thanksgiving this year and look whats here in minnesota oh, the stadium where the super bowl is going to be and we would like to see the eagles go there so what we did is we rubbed philadelphia all over it. All right, they hid that eagles football in the stadium somewhere, shhh. We dont know where they hid it or if it was ever found but remember they did this back in november. They must have had a feeling the eagles were going to the super bowl. If you go and you find that ball let us know and well put you on tv too.

Lets take it live to matt pelman in the action news traffic center. Whats rolling out there matt. All about the green for the next week and a half and as i say that the screen turns green here in delaware. Isnt it beautiful. 495 southbound. What i wanted to show you before that happened was a delay that were dealing with out southbound side of 495 approaching terminal avenue but the crash that caused the big delay and the slowing just cleared out. So, just 4 Miles Per Hour at the moment but the pace should be starting to pick up momentarily. Still, i think id head for 95 southbound instead of 495 southbound in wilmington. In christiana were watching an accident investigation. The crash involved a pedestrian along the southbound side of one at churchmans road. So slowing there as well by i95. This is 95 in the fishtown section of philadelphia. You can see were slow here in both directions but earlier issues that we had on 95 including a northbound crash near the betsy ross bridge and a southbound disabled truck, they both cleared out so the lanes are opened now. Its just still pretty crowded along 95. Disabled school bus on the schuylkill westbound approaching the boulevard is off to the side and the boulevards busy but at least its opened this afternoon. Unlike yesterday afternoon. Close to the 69th Street Transportation Center watch out for a crash along market near 69th street. Now were getting word of a crash in pottstown. Its the westbound side of 422 offramp to stow. So, some speeds in there 30s there coming away from pottstown and in mount holly some downed wires are blocking pine street near the mary Dobbins School this afternoon. Madison avenue an alternate there. Well check it again, rick and monica, coming up in the next half hour. How about that green. I thought you planned it. I didnt. Its not easy being green sometimes.

A big shakeup at the top of one of the biggest womens advocacy groups in the nation. What the head of planned parenthood announced today that will change the future and direction of that organization. And shes always loved music and dreamt about making it, too. Now this local fourth grader has the ability to create her own sounds with the help of student engineers. Her story and much more when action news continues tonight. The president of planned parenthood Cecile Richards job a under her leadership planned parenthood gained in membership donor support and political clout but found itself in constant conflict with social conservatives for its role as the leading Abortion Provider in the u. S. No immediate word from planned parenthood tonight of a possible successor to Cecile Richards. Health check tonight. New numbers from the centers for Disease Control show the flu blanketed the u. S. Again for a Third Straight week only hawaii has been spared. Officials say in fact one out of 15 doctors visits nationwide last week were for symptoms of the flu. That is the highest level since the swine flew pandemic back in 2009. 39 states including pennsylvania are reporting high flu traffic for doctors. Authorities say by the end of the flu season they estimate 34 million americans will have gotten sick from the flu. A fourth grader with Cerebral Palsy is closer to her dream of playing the viola and her helpers are three local engineering students who have never even picked up an instrument. I just love music and i really want to play an instrument. Rain mason smith doesnt just want to listen to music she wants to make it but Cerebral Palsy makes holding the bow difficult. Since fall a trio of engineering students from Concorde High School has been designing and manufacturing a brace to give rain just the right grip. Julia weeks says the first step was pretty basic understanding how to make music. None of us play any instruments. Once they learned that, they focused on rains specific challenge. The motion of bowing comes from the elbow so when we realized thats the trouble we realized we needed to figure out something else. For julia Hannah Kennedy and antonio, its been a careful process of designing and testing proto types again and again moving a little further each time. In addition to the hand brace theyve also created a guide to limit the bows horizontal angle encouraging a better grip. And slide it right there. All the testing and changing hasnt slowed rains musical progress. Shes on track with all the other students. Its easier for me to play. It really just makes us happy to see that to see that smile on her face when she finally gets a great note out. Absolutely. And concordes engineering teacher enlists projects like you from the public. They say solving more real World Problems means much more to them than just getting a grade. Well be right back. Dog sledding huskies came to a Burlington County new Jersey School today for a lesson an racing. Kindergarten through fifth graders got to see the blue eyed beauty up close and watch a demonstration. Well, today we met a die hard eagles fan in wilmington who has eagles everything. Also has her pride written on her face literally. Brenda cabrera says for years shes been painting her first dipped in shades of eagles green and also different styles and she did a demonstration for us inside her home today. Her Face Painting has become a huge thing for her and all of her football friends. I got so much positive feedback and i love eagles fans coming together and that just made me happy so i did that and then i did it for the next game and i did it for the next game and the fifth game around there i didnt do it and people are like where surface. Football dont start without your face and i was like oh, thats so sweet. She shows her eagles pride in her home.

Whats happening is above 2000 feet, theres this warm layer of air, warm air is less dense, it is more buoyant so it is stuck over that cold dense air at the surface so we cant break that warm air down to warm us up at the surface yet. Whats going to happen tomorrow, winds will kick up everything will mix out and well get that warm air thats just above our head to come down to where we work and play. As we look at temperatures 36 in wilmington, 35 in millville, so, yes, a little cold out there right now. Weve got that clear sky.

We can always hope but it could be a little easier in a couple of spots, rick and monica, like here on 422 westbound side jammed solid this evening coming out of king of prussia and 202 through this point at oaks interchange for egypt road. Good news is the accident we have here just got pushed off to the side so they just reopened both westbound lanes but still a 26 Minute Travel time means its really slow. Maybe come out 23 or main street ridge pike instead. Then farther west on 422 there was a crash on the off ramp to stow. Looks like it may be in the process of clearing. But still sluggish there as you travel through pottstown. And in king of prussia serious accident this evening here. This is 202 the northbound side where it splits with dekalb street to go into bridgeport and most people are being forced to do that go into bridgeport. Cant keep going north near the danne hower bridge. Nasty wreck. You see a wrecker in there right now a couple fire Trucks Police on the scene. 202 northbound big delays coming away from the mall in king of prussia because of this crash. Going to be forced over to bridgeport instead. On the big picture still have that broken down school bulls on the schuylkill westbound approaching the boulevard but its all off to the side. An earlier issue we had along 95 have cleared. However still some slow speeds. Keep in mind 23rd street is going to be closed all weekend this weekend.
