So, because of those very intense winds and that low developing, a high wind watch goes into effect for the entire viewing area saturday evening into sunday where winds could gust 50 to 60 miles an hour. That could create some Power Outages saturday into sunday morning and you combine that with the intense cold, you may want to have some alternate plans to stay warm in case that happens because by monday morning our forecast slow 2 degrees and that will be the coldest start to philadelphias lets just say morning in 21 years. The coldest since 1994. Well talk a little more about the timing of those snow squalls tomorrow and let you know if theres any warm up in that forecast in a bit.

I looked to my left and i hear one of my coworkers say its a dead body. Reporter authorities have since confirmed that the body of a man was indeed found inside that cargo ship. Witnesses tell action news that he was found naked and severely bloated. Judging from the supplies found nearby investigators say the indications are that the victim was a stowaway who likely found his way on board before the ship left the nation of ivory coast on his way to philadelphia. But the cause of death remains a mystery. Authorities say his death could have resulted from anything including exposure to chemicals used to preserve the beans, to high heat or a lack of oxygen. He may have even drowned when the beans were irrigated. As for kareem dye he says its something he hopes to never see again. If i wanted to i could have jumped down into the hole and i would have been r

Had Severe Weather in ohio and western pennsylvania last night but it all fell apart as it came east and now it looks like were basically dry. As we take a look at temperatures still a little bit on the mild side. 69 degrees in philadelphia currently, 64 millville. 68 in allentown and the dewpoints are still running in the mid 60s so a tad humid out there.
