Montgomery county and western Chester County. It is in effect in the poconos and up in allentown and reading but we really dont think that the impact from the snow is going to be in the most cases until late this afternoon, early this evening. Highest snow totals will be mainly tonight overnight into wednesday morning and were not talking a super high snow total at that. We are looking at storm tracker6 live double scan with an indication of a little bit of the atmosphere moistening up, just some light snow showers out by harrisburg, pottsville, these are moving very slowly as they try and encounter allentown and reading and then eventually philadelphia later tonight. So, not a lot going on out there just yet but we are expecting the arrival of some of that later today and tonight. Temperatures ahead of this snow, though, are going to get mild. Well get all the way up to about 42 degrees by around 2 30 or 3 oclock. You can see how there might even be a peek of sunshine at some point th
At times. Its doing so right now. I showed you a shot a minute ago and police hadnt arrived on the accident scene yet. They were kind of stuck in the traffic there in the backlog but we can see now police, several police officers, emergency workers all responding to the scene. It looks to be at least three vehicles as i look at this. A few vehicles here and im not sure if thats one or two cause its kind of dark right there. We can see theyre currently blocking all lanes on the schuylkill westbound as emergency workers come to the scene to deal with this. This is westbound schuylkill at University Avenue. Our breaking news. A big accident involving several vehicles blocking all lanes and now we see emergency workers at the scene, some of them still in the backlog here trying to get there. Looks like we have an ambulance here as well trying to deal with this scene blocking all lanes on the schuylkill westbound at university. Traffic at a standstill. Were seeing speeds crawl along on the
And the alert we have in place really the focal point is tonight and in through wednesday morning. Lets go ahead and take you to the Weather Center and theres a Winter Weather advisory in effect today, gradually going into effect in the poconos and then down toward the far northern suburbs and then later this afternoon starting to kick in in these counties closer to philadelphia, northern and western Chester County and the northern halves of Montgomery County and bucks county. This is where most of our snow is going to arrive. It will be a light snow but travel conditions in these areas later today and tonight as it starts to build in will be the worst that well see across the region. 30 degrees currently in philadelphia, not nearly as cold this morning. 27 degrees in trenton. 28 in allentown, 29 in reading and millville and 27 in cape may. And theres a little bit of a wind out there but not a big wind. So, were talking a wind chill in philadelphia, 22 degrees. Winds down overnight fro
We have a big accident at university avenue. I showed you this shot earlier. We had westbound completely blocked, eastbound almost completely blocked with this accident. Its a different scene now. We can see theyve pushed most of the vehicles off to the side. It was a multivehicle accident as chopper pans back you see what a tough morning commute it is. This delay stretches for miles and youre not expecting this kind of delay westbound headed towards University City coming off of the walt whitman bridge. Traffic is barely moving because of that accident. The good news is the accident that was blocking all lanes for awhile is off to the side now and eastbound traffic is also getting by so youre stuck in the traffic now but theres light at the end of the tunnel there because theyre allowing it to move at the scene. Lets switch to our Traffic Cameras and you get a different sense of whats happening here. So, heres that jammed traffic on the schuylkill westbound at university. Emergency wo

From the tisch wnet studios at Lincoln Center in new york, hari sreenivasan. Sreenivasan good evening and thank you for joining us. On the one Year Anniversary of president Donald Trumps inauguration, the federal government is shut down. All but the most essential functions of government are being halted, but the senate and house of representatives are in session. With no clear end in sight. Mail will still be delivered; Social Security checks will still go out; the military will continue its missions around the world; some National Parks do remain open. But if the shutdown continues into monday, nearly 800,000 federal workers will be furloughed, including workers from almost every federal agency. This m
