Tomorrow, a first alert for dangerous cold. A look at the hour by hour in ten minutes. First, Jessica Boyington with first alert traffic. Were watching the schuylkill still, one of the only majors where were having pretty big problems. By problems i mean construction projects. On the blue route and eastbound side, they might be getting some of this out of the way because we had more lanes blocked a second ago. Now a lane is still getting by eastbound from that point to gladwyne. Were watching that work and watching the closure on the eastbound side between the vine. Right here, headed to south street. The eastbound chunk is still closed. Were seeing a westbound delay here. There is construction there. Its just lanes lost. Not actually closed like the eastbound side. Watching those things. Ill end with route 202 and drive times pretty much. Ten minutes both directions north and south from 30 to the schuylkill. Speeds into the 60s. Back to you. Thanks. We have breaking news to tell you a

Those roadways, anything it falls on, the steps, stairs, the sidewalk, its going to be slick. Philadelphia, were seeing a light steady snow. Pemberton, down toward hammondton, were seeing steadier snow bands move through your area. Thats headed to egg harbor where were looking at Ted Greenburg who has been updating us. All the way down to cape may, its transitioned into snow for you. If we head all the way up to wilmington were getting a little burst of snow there. Its still a little bit heavier. In southern portions of delaware, we are still looking at snow thats a little bit heavier. You can see these patches from smyrna and across to southern jersey. Basically, the snow is not going to be ending from the next couple of hours unless youre out there in the Lehigh Valley and berks county. By 7 00 philadelphia is in the clear, als
Commuters. Watching the snow rates increasing through the course of the evening hours but you know what, this is a pretty cold storm. Look at these temperatures across the Delaware Valley. Its down into the 20s in many locations. 16 right now in the poconos. Everything thats falling out of the sky sticking to the roads. Sticking to the sidewalks and of course sticking to your drivew driveway. Visibilities of concern with the snow rates increasing. Visibilities are going down. You notice we do have three quarter mile ships visibility here in philadelphia. A lot of spots reporting less than a quarter mile of a mile in parts of new jersey. Take live look at ultimate doppler the turnpike down 295, 70 is a nightmare at this hour. We just talked about Speed Sensors a crawl in many of our roadways. Burlington county down towards winslow township, galloway all dealing with moderate to heavy snows and even into delaware where we do speed restrictions on the delaware Memorial Bridge thats for go
In the lee high valley where were more likely to see those scattered snow showers this morning. Just a very light snow, but enough to make things slippery in the lee high valley. Some isolated showers in the suburbs and mainly cloudy for philadelphia and jersey. Im break it down for you when im back in ten minutes, but Jessica Boyington has the traffic. Moving through center city might be a bit of a challenge for some drivers. On the vine street expressway right now where where the eastbound lanes are blocked off. For right now it looks like its still there. Were losing one lane also on the westbound side. Right here is the diversion of traffic they have where theyre moving everything off to vine street expressway. Watching a crash, too, right around halls lane and also watching route 202. On the schuylkill expressway speeds there also into the high 50s. Today you will get a chance to witness eagles history. Tickets for the nfc championship game go on sale this morning but it will be t
41 with cloudy skies and some rain at 11 00. And this afternoon, yeah we warm into the 40s, but its never really going to feel warm. Keep in mind the other day we were at 77 degrees in philadelphia. 40s this afternoon and 30s for the lehigh valley. Ill break your forecast down hour by hour and show you most likely when youll need your umbrella during the day. But first lets see whats going on with the roads. Jessica boyington has your first alert traffic. Actually seeing an accident clear within the last ten seconds or so. Watching for some slippery spots just in case but that accident scene has cleared out of the way. Another one eastbound on the roosevelt boulevard off into the inshoulder. Not messing with the drive times right now. Also we were watching for the clearing of that construction on the westbound side near south street. Theres also an opening for the tacony pumira scheduled for 5 35 this morning. You can take the betsey ross as your alternate. Oo south florida is expressi
