Moving out. And temperatures and sunshine will struggle to climb into the middle to upper 40s this afternoon. Ill break it down hour by hour when im back in ten minutes. But first Jessica Boyington has your first alert traffic. Thanks w, bill. And to start on the schuylkill expressway. The eastbound lanes are all open moving past the scene. Since this is eastbound, this is approaching the blue route right now. You can see moving a little slow if you can see in comparison to the westbound side. At least everything is still moving because again all lanes are still open as well. Were also watching the turnpike. 21 minutes from route 1 to valley ford. Speeds way up and into the 70s on average.

Well, republicans and democrats cant agree on what the first votes are going to be, and more specifically democrats dont want to vote on a proposal sponsored by pat toomey, the republican from pennsylvania that would penalize cities, socalled sanctuary cities that dont cooperate with federal Law Enforcement on immigration law. Thats a vote that democrats dont want to have and republicans have insisted on it a couple times already to come to the floor. Mitch mcconnell tried to bring it up midday tuesday and then again at the end of the day tried to get a vote on the toomey proposal. Democrats objected both times.
