Officers did not return fire after the shot came their way. Nobody was hurt here, police did recover a gun at the scene. In south philly a bumper and other car parts were left on broad street after a Police Cruiser crashed into another vehicle. You can see the front end of the cruiser smashed in. The impact was so hard the air bag inside the cruiser deployed. Two officers went to the hospital but they are expected to be okay. The person in the other car was not hurt. Okay. Now, back to our weather as bill henley mentioned we are waking up to dangerously cold temperatures. It is frigid outside and layers are a must. About a dozen construction workers are braving the cold overnight to shore up the overpasses for the improvements along the vine street expressway 676. Temperatures in center city have dipped close to Single Digits and the wind is picking up, too. Workers tell us when they do get a break most of them just sit inside their trucks with the heat blasting. A lot of layers, broth

Enough sunshine to warm us into the upper 20s for delaware, 26 degrees in the Lehigh Valley and 27 for new jersey. We have stayed below freezing all day today in the suburbs and philadelphia but that changes tomorrow, just as some wet weather moves in. We are talking snow and sleet but mainly rain for your saturday. A look at the timing of that and i will take you through today hour by hour when im back in ten minutes. But first Pamela Osborne has your first alert traffic. Good morning. I think thats going to be the most difficult part of your dri
Temperatures in the teens this morning and the wind is blowing in the city. Not as strong as yesterday but it doesnt take much when its this cold outside.

It will start as snow, the atmosphere is plenty cold enough. But as we go through the morning hours, the warmer air will come in from the south, it will change the snow, the darker the blue, the heavier the snow. You can see that out here at 7 00 a. M.
