political news. abc news has just learned that a vote set for tonight on a republican plan to appeal and replace obamacare will not happy. the -- happen. the vote was delayed within the last hour. and that comes after a day that saw president trump and republican leaders working feverishly to win support for their health-care plan. conservatives have been staunchly opposed to it and today the effort to win them over scared away more moderate republicans. as of right now, it's clear the bill does not have enough support to pass. the white house has said there is no plan "b," and a new vote

it hasn't been taken care of properly. >> reporter: for some of these opponents of the proposed gop plan, the biggest concerns they say changes in medicaid funding. marie turnball says, under the existing aca, people are able to use medicaid to access drug rehab. >> with the opioid epidemic in this state, i think that it is irresponsible to deny care to people who need it most when you're trying to fight an opioid epidemic, which is a cause that representative meehan cares about. >> reporter: meehan is pat meehan of pennsylvania's seventh district. his staff as of late today said he has not yet decided how he will vote. he still wants to review a final draft. well, i guess there may or may not be a final draft tonight, as we are on to plan "b" and the possibility of a vote tomorrow, maybe. we shall see. we did get initial reaction to the news that the vote has been postponed from tonight. that came from a democrat, donald norcross, who sponsored the event here in camden

reading. lower 40s along i-95. even down to the south, millville, 42. but right along the shore, a bit of a wind off the water and it's only in the upper 30s for cape may as well as beach haven. as we look at satellite and radar, that high pressure, that was to our west yesterday. that also supplied the sun and a strong wind is closer by now. and that's relaxing the winds. and keeping that sunshine. we're starting to see clouds increasing from the west. and they'll continue to move in and kind of drift over us late tonight. in fact, those clouds will be on the increase. but those temps

freezing for philadelphia as well as cape may. warm front starts to arrive early tomorrow morning. and you can see some of that blue as well as some of that purple on the radar here, future radar, some wet. ♪flakes, freezing rain where we do have those freezing advisories. but as this starts to arrive you get maybe a quick little mix here around lehigh valley or reading, maybe some sleet pellets or wet snowflakes but by the time it reaches philadelphia, that precipitation falls apart so it's just cloudy here in the city all points to the south. this is lunchtime tomorrow. and then by 5:00 in the afternoon, a drastic improvement as that front lifts to the north and the sun takes over the second half of the day on friday. and with the return of sunshine here, we'll struggle this the morning, 30s going to near 42, 45 degrees around lunchtime. but after that, when the sun smarts to break back out, those temperatures sky-rocket into the lower in the middle 50s. so a beautiful way to end the week tomorrow afternoon. and as we take a look the 4day at four forecast here, 55 is the actual high tomorrow with that morning shower. again, may mix with a little bit of sleet or freezing rain. lehigh valley to the north. most areas don't even see a shower tomorrow morning south of philadelphia. late sun and then it's warm, cooler at the shore, though. 74 inland, saturday. only 50s at the shore. and then a cool breeze settles in on sunday. some drizzle. 53 for a high and damp and cloudy monday, up to 63 degrees. so a big difference from saturday to sunday. we'll have that

montgomery drive and the roosevelt boulevard, route 1, still the same situation as the last half-hour in that. the two right lanes are blocked, two left lanes open to westbound drivers but we are seeing less of that bus now after the fire ravaged it. you can see the fire crews are still conthe scene. police are there as well. and it's just really a mess here in fairmount park on the westbound side of the schuylkill, which now is jammed solid from university avenue out to that scene around montgomery drive. so the delay is spilling back here on to the westbound side of the vine expressway, which is also now a parking lot coming away from 95 out to 76, the schuylkill expressway. philly you're coming out of town this afternoon or you know someone coming out of the town this afternoon, tell them not to get on the highways. use the river drive, the mlk or roads like ridge avenue or lancaster avenue. westbound schuylkill and westbound vine are an absolute mess. we're also watching this problem. it's a broken-down vehicle on the platt bridge westbound headed toward the airport. you can see it here taking out the right lane, jammed coming off 26th street. had a crash in abington township, clearing now. and in delco, by wawa, still really slow on the northbound side of the baltimore park because of an accident there. we'll check it again. brian and alicia, coming up in the 5:00 hour. >> all right, matt. see you then. thank you. meteorologist adam joseph standing by with the exclusive seven-day forecast and today's trivia question next. all right. meteorologist adam joseph joining us now. i usually have a gut feeling when it comes to your questions today. i have no clue. >> i have a feeling. >> you do? >> i think so. >> it can be one of two. >> okay. >> one is very close to the other. >> remind people of the question. >> all right. here it is. so here is the question. when was the last month where philadelphia experienced below-average temperatures? this particular month we're running 2.5 or 7 degrees below normal. when was the last time temps ran below normal? was that march of 2017, may of last year or november of last year? >> i'm going with "b." >> okay. >> i think it's. >> okay. >> uh-hmm. all right, all right. we'll go with "a." >> okay. okay. >> okay. >> alicia was right. brian, you weren't far off. >> thank you. >> last may -- >> oh, good! >> temperatures ran .6 degrees below norm app. not by much. >> it was a rainy, cold may. >> because 22 of the last 23 months have been above average. so you have to go back to march of 2015 to find the next month. that long ago. >> we're both -- >> you're both kind of right. >> so is richy. richy van dine got it right as well on my twitter page. so thank you for playing. but, yeah, it's been pretty wrrk remarkable. almost two years in a row with the exception of this month's and may of last year, temperatures have been running above average every single month. 43 in allentown. freer in wilmington -- 44 in wilmington. a little on the bizarre side especially after three months in the season of winter this particular year, with temperatures running above average. but as you can see, there is a change coming in, for the warmer. is a warm front from the ohio valley. na will bring clouds in here overnight tonight after a clear start to the night. 24 degrees in the suburbs. 32 degrees for center city with those winds switching to the south-southwest 3 to 6 miles an hour. as the clouds come in and those temperatures drop prior to it, it will be cold enough at the onset of a little bit of that precipitation with the front especially far to the north andest, of philadelphia. 11:00 tomorrow morning, allentown up into the poconos, there could be some mixing issues in the form of some sleet or brief freezing rain, but it's not going to last long. and the majority of our area will not even see a shower here tomorrow morning. and then by the afternoon, everyone clears out, even the poconos. the front lifts to the north. the sunshine starts to peek back out. and those temperatures jump back up to normal around here, of 55 degrees. so a brief shower or a mixed ice pellet or some freezing rain far north and west. afternoon sun. and then this front starts to collapse down, but not far enough through our region that saturday we squeeze out a day of 18 degrees above average with a lot of high clouds, 74, philadelphia. but only 59 at the shore. and then this high comes down, brings the front back to the south and really pulls those temperatures backwards here the second half of the weekend. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, 55 tomorrow with late sun returning. after some morning clouds. warm cooler at the shore, though, on saturday. sunday, a cool breeze, 53 and some drizzle around, especially towards the poconos and the lehigh valley. this is sunday at 11:30 in the morning. and then we'll start to move the temp back up but the clouds hang around monday into tuesday. both days damp with on and off showers. temperatures in the lower 60s. some sun breaking back out wednesday. and then it's bright again thursday and beautiful, a high of 58 degrees. so saturday is the day to be outdoors. and then those big changes coming on sunday in yeah. >> book-end forecast. >> by the time march gets it together, it will be april. >> that it will. coming up, if you haven't reviewed your homeowners insurance lately you run the risk of leaving money on table. we run down the options you should be looking at next. most people don't think about their homeowners insurance until disaster strikes. but that's a mistake. here's our nydia han to explain. you haven't reviewed your home insurance lately you might be leaving money on table. there is some new twists to homeowners insurance that can provide better coverage and save you money. the galleyianos are looking for a house to buy. they know a lot of the their savings will be tied up in it. so they worry about protecting their home and their money. >> your home is your biggest investment. >> you really just want to make sure that you're prepared for the unexpected, things that can happen. fires and nudes and -- floods and trees coming down in your pool. >> reporter: most people know certain problems like a tree falling on your house are covered by home insurance. what you may not know, a lot of the quirky events may also be covered. for instance, your homeowners insurance may cover damage from a drone. and you could get as much as $5,000 in insurance money if vandals damage a family headstone. if your dog damages his property or bites someone, it might depend on the breed, but that could be covered too. also, be aware your property is likely to be covered even when it's not in your home. for instance, if it's in a child's dorm room or in your car. >> run caution. many people pay for smaller losses themselves because they're worried that their premium also go up. they make a claim. but according to a survey of our readers, that doesn't happen all the tile. >> reporter: of the respondents whose claim was less than $5,000, more than half did not see a premium increase. so you might consider filing for smaller losses like minor roof or tree damage. but keep in mind each policy is unique. so it can be difficult to predict if your premium will stay the same after a claim. and making too many claims in a short time may cause your insurance company not to renew your policy. one more thing to be aware of, if you need flood insurance, you'll probably need to get a separate policy. i'm nydia han, "channel 6 action news." and finally at 4:00 today, it is no secret that former vice president joe biden is an internet darling, but he may have
