look at fall foliage this is what he saw. some of that snow falling. even closer to home we had snow formed in the clouds, almost looks like soft sleet and part of the reason why because there was so

and afternoon highs today instead of the mid 60's, only in the mid fifty six. 54 trees in philadelphia but warmer air is on the way. satellite6 along with action radar showing what's going on. we've got high pressure down to the south so winds actually are from the southwest. it's pulling in warmer air but only higher in the atmosphere. we have an inversion so the cold air is trapped at the

the details the way that hundreds of thousands of septa customers pay for their ride is about to change. today the transit agency officially unveiled its septa key program. officials said the days of fumbling with tokens cash and flimsy passes are done. instead, people will use cards that are tracked by central database. "action news" reporter john rawlins now live in center city and john, you've got the details tonight. >> reporter: hi, brian. well, septa riders have been noticing these little screens with the red

a testing phase. only a hundred people have access to it but the goal is for hundreds of thousands of people to use it. septa gm jeff neville showed us how the new system should work. he taps a card against the screen and gets a green light. it's been dubbed the septa key as in key to getting someplace. it will be used systemwide. >> so if i want to get on the market frankford line, what if i get

reminder of what's to come about in a month or so. double scan showing lot of blue sky today and in fact the action cam was out on a very chilly afternoon but i tell you, it was a big difference a light wind it felt pretty good in the sun but again, once you hit the shady spots, then it felt on the cold side. as we look at this fall chill, the morning low in philadelphia, we started at 35 degrees. it's the coldest it's been this early in october since around halloween of 2011 on october 29th of 2011 we hit 33 degrees in philadelphia, so this is a little early to have it this cold and again, the suburbs started in the 20's, in fact trenton was a record this morning of 27 degrees. 52 in allentown. just 53 reading. 52 in wilmington. 40's still in cape may county and the same in the poconos. it's sitting at 48 degrees. very little warming today despite that high pressure to the south. when a high is to the south we usually get a heat pump. the winds come out of the west-southwesterly direction but this cold air has been locked at the surface today and finally tomorrow we will break it and that's going to allow those westerly winds to finally warm us up and it keeps the boundary to the north well to the north so that's not going to slip through to drop our temperatures at all as we get into the next few days. 8:30 tonight big game at the linc as we have the eagles taking on new york. 46 degrees for your kickoff. by the fourth quarter, 45 degrees. so, definitely need many layers. again, this is very cool for this time of year despite most eagles games it is on an even colder side deeper into the season. a starlit sky for tonight. again not as cold. no 20's in the suburbs. we'll hit 35 there, 44 degrees for center city. and then in the city for tomorrow, looking pretty good. 68 degrees. near normal. if not just a little bit abov above. sunshine and just a few clouds. if you're up in the lehigh valley temperatures there a couple degrees cooler in the city at 66 but still a warmer afternoon compared to the low 50's of today and down the shore equally as nice because of a land breeze, southwesterly wind four to 8 miles an hour. topping off your temperature at 66. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 68 tomorrow. so, much warmer than today. and then we're going into the 70's back to back days wednesday into thursday. thursday is your warmest day ahead of a cold front despite a little more clouds on thursday compared to the next couple of days. but really no precipitation with that front. we just get a drop in temperature behind it friday and saturday with a decent amount of sunshine, back below normal at 61 and in the second half of the weekend it stays dry as we move those temperatures back up to 67 and then another front on monday, limited sunshine, maybe a shower with a high of 62 degrees. so, if this is a little too soon for you don't worry we're going warm it up in the next few days. >> thank you adam. that
