Temperatures arent budging very far today. Its kind of a chilly day. Were staying in the 50s. Periods of rain. Add a chilly wind and its just nasty.

So, once you get out of the oval, both drives of the parkway in both directions are now blocked. Weve got kelly drive blocked off by the backside of the art museum at fairmount avenue. Mlk drive is blocked most of the time at sweetbriar but will not be blocked for the morning commute and tomorrow mornings commute. Same with Spring Garden street. So if you want to take mlk or Spring Garden to get to 24th and the vine street expressway on the that would be the west side of the oval, you can still do that this morning and tomorrow morning. Otherwise, local streets all around the parkway are closed and Katherine Scott is going to have more coming up in just a bit.
