and now that cooler air has entrenched itself across the region. nothing showing on storm tracker which is news. as we take a look outside the camera jiggling around a little bit because we have a bit of wind blowing. the wind died down a bit overnight. it will be picking up again after we get a little past sunrise cold. 34 degrees at the airport in philadelphia, just 29 up in allentown now and reading is all the way down to 27. 31 in trenton, 31 in wilmington, 30 millville so a lot of numbers a little below the freezing mark. winds are a factor. still coming down out of the northwest not all that strong, 9 miles per hour in philadelphia right now, 13 in allentown, 12 in wilmington but this is strong enough to give you wind chills making it feel like it's in the 20's this morning. satellite shows you not a lot of cloud cover around and we do expect a mainly sunny afternoon with perhaps a few occasional clouds later in the day. lots of sun overall. still windy and cooler than yesterday. yesterday we got up into the mid 60's across much of the region. 45 degrees is today's high though, with winds northwest at 20 to 30 miles per hour. so still a blustery day out there. and still below freezing in philadelphia at 8 o'clock. i think we'll dip to about 31 then back to 36 by 11 o'clock. if you're running errands or doing optional travel outside later today you might want to wait until the afternoon versus the morning. 43 degrees is your 2 o'clock temperature. you'll hit a high of 45 probably around 4:00 and then we're back to 44 by 5 o'clock. up in allentown, it's going to be a cool day with winds blowing, 39 degrees, a pretty day, though, with a fair a sunshine. down the shore a little bit on the milder side as we will get past that 39 and shoot on up to 44 for a high. lots of sun and windy conditions there. and of course in philadelphia we mentioned that we've got that high of 45 today. tomorrow about 46 degrees, high pressure will ensure sunshine early but then some high clouds will begin to move in during the afternoon from a system down to the south that is going to be the source of some wet snow and rain for the region on friday. now future tracker 6 shows you a dry morning commute on friday. i will tell that you some models over the last 24 hours have actually had precip here in time for the morning commute. but in any event when it does get here it's mainly some wet snow to the north mainly rain to the south and philadelphia at times will mix in between and the whole thing gets out of here in the evening. what are we expecting out of this? i think there will be some wet snow and then eventually changing to some rain in the i-95 core do. all rain down south side and mainly wet snow up north. anywhere from maybe a one to two accumulation, maybe a little bit more in some spots. the thing about this is it's a march snowfall a-late march snowfall and that tends to make roads just wet and accumulate mainly on grassy surfaces and maybe car tops. 45 windy and chilly today. lots of sun. 46 tomorrow, sun giving way to clouds and then friday a wet snow rain event 39 degrees is your high and that precipitation pretty much with us through the day and into the early evening. spring arrives at 6:45 in the evening on friday. the union playing at home shortly after that. and then the system is gone in the first full day of spring looks nice,

>> i'll accept it. it's 6:40. we continue to follow a developing story. murder charges may not be the only trouble awaiting robert durst when he returns to california. >> and a fisherman tugging and tugging and realize z well i didn't catch a fish. a caught something else. karen. >> wow. let's look live here on the schuylkill because this is a mess. no accident. this is just what it looks like on the schuylkill. westbound traffic starting to jam up from the boulevard to belmont. looking live at city avenue. word of a new accident just coming in right now. i'll have all the latest details when "action news" comes right back. >> ♪ ♪ >> hello everyone. look at this. >> ooh. >> so we're still lighting up with green or saint patrick's day and the sun is coming up over the horizon. not officially yet and it's shining off the buildings in center city philadelphia. >> i think that color is called belgian blue. look at that, that's beautiful. >> you are the one that had the 82 pack of crayons when you were a kid and you knew every single one. >> every one of them. let's go over to karen rogers. >> sometimes i'm with you but belgian blue. i didn't know that. thank you, tam. we've got problems here on the roadways and this is eastbound pennsylvania turnpike, a new accident just coming in approaching valley forge so watch for a slow go. it's restricting traffic in that area. eastbound pennsylvania turnpike this is the latest accident just coming in. meanwhile not that far off we've got a problem right here plymouth township montgomery county. plim in this among road closed. this is that large sinkhole causing a problem between the blue route and butler pike. use germantown pike as an alternate. we're not sure when they're going the clear it. tracks heavy delays on germantown pike with everyone trying to avoid plymouth road. 422 eastbound traffic right here and you're generally jammed approaching 29 to 23. it's a 12 minute ride from oaks to 202. about a five minute delay and growing. so not really an extra delay just your normal morning volume. this is wait looks like on 42, northbound traffic at creek road getting busy approach twog 95. not totally jammed just yet but certainly slowing down in new jersey on route 42. don't forget get all latest traffic with #6abc traffic when you go to twitter i'll be keeping you posted there. 34 degrees right now in philadelphia it's just 29 now in allentown. 27 in reading. it's cold out there. 31 in trenton. only 30 degrees in millville and in fact temperatures today good 13, 16 degrees cooler than they were yesterday. this afternoon -- yesterday we had a high of 65. this afternoon's high only 45. big change matt and tam. >> indeed. thanks karen. developing overnight, the fbi sifting through evidence seized at the home of robert durst. this is new video of the raid in houston texas yesterday. federal agents and detectives with the lapd carried boxes from the upscale condo highrise. neighbors say durst disappeared from that neighborhood about two weeks ago and reappeared in new orleans where he was arrested on a murder warrant last weekend. real estate heir is charged with killing susan berman in california 15 years ago. durst has long been suspected in the disappearance of his first wife but he was never charged with. that his lawyer called yesterday's raid a publicity stunt. >> police are investigating whether criminal charges could be filed against members of a penn state fraternity. this is over shocking photos found on secret facebook pages. members of kappa delta rho are accused of using the private page to post pictures of nude and partially nude women. in some cases the victims were allegedly asleep or passed out when they were photographed. court documents show a former fraternity brother is the one who tipped off police. the university is now suspended that fraternity for one one year. the national fraternity that that shut down its chapter in oklahoma says it will plan a review. it will unveil a plan to combat racial intolerance. last week a video surfaced showing frat members engaged in a racist chant. the oklahoma chapter hired an attorney to review its case. >> this is brand new a new zealand fisherman was straining to reel in a big catch and soon realized why it put such a fight up. behind the huge fish was a huge shark. which had just bitten off the fishman's first catch and he thought the shark was going to jump right into his boat. the fisherman says this is the first time he's seen a great white shark in this part of the sea. >> let the shark have the fish. >> call earnest hemmingway. >> we told you about this developing story at 6:00 a.m. death threats against u.s. ambassador to japan caroline kennedy.

of wind blowing. the wind died down a bit overnight. it will be picking up again after we get a little past sunrise cold. 34 degrees at the airport in philadelphia, just 29 up in allentown now and reading is all the way down to 27. 31 in trenton, 31 in wilmington, 30 millville so a lot of numbers a little below the freezing mark. winds are a factor. still coming down out of the northwest not all that strong, 9 miles per hour in philadelphia right now, 13 in allentown, 12 in wilmington but this is strong enough to give you wind chills making it feel like it's in the 20's this morning. satellite shows you not a lot of cloud cover around and we do expect a mainly sunny afternoon with perhaps a few occasional clouds later in the day. lots of sun overall. still windy and cooler than yesterday. yesterday we got up into the mid 60's across much of the region. 45 degrees is today's high though, with winds northwest at 20 to 30 miles per hour. so still a blustery day out there. and still below freezing in philadelphia at 8 o'clock. i think we'll dip to about 31 then back to 36 by 11 o'clock. if you're running errands or doing optional travel outside later today you might want to wait until the afternoon versus the morning. 43 degrees is your 2 o'clock temperature. you'll hit a high of 45 probably around 4:00 and then we're back to 44 by 5 o'clock. up in allentown, it's going to be a cool day with winds blowing, 39 degrees, a pretty day, though, with a fair a sunshine. down the shore a little bit on the milder side as we will get past that 39 and shoot on up to 44 for a high. lots of sun and windy conditions there. and of course in philadelphia we mentioned that we've got that high of 45 today. tomorrow about 46 degrees, high pressure will ensure sunshine early but then some high clouds will begin to move in during the afternoon from a system down to the south that is going to be the source of some wet snow and rain for the region on friday. now future tracker 6 shows you a dry morning commute on friday. i will tell that you some models over the last 24 hours have actually had precip here in time for the morning commute. but in any event when it does get here it's mainly some wet snow to the north mainly rain to the south and philadelphia at times will mix in between and the whole thing gets out of here in the evening. what are we expecting out of this? i think there will be some wet snow and then eventually changing to some rain in the i-95 core do. all rain down south side and mainly wet snow up north. anywhere from maybe a one to two accumulation, maybe a little bit more in some spots. the thing about this is it's a march snowfall a-late march snowfall and that tends to make roads just wet and accumulate mainly on grassy surfaces and maybe car tops. 45 windy and chilly today. lots of sun. 46 tomorrow, sun giving way to clouds and then friday a wet snow rain event 39 degrees is your high and that precipitation pretty much with us through the day and into the early evening. spring arrives at 6:45 in the evening on friday. the union playing at home shortly after that. and then the system is gone in the first full day of spring looks nice,

northbound and southbound to academy road, those off-ramps had been shut down. they just now reopened so here's a life shot. last time i showed you this we had penndot right here with the arrow boards blocking the ramps. they have stepped aside allowing that traffic to get through on the ramps on i-95 northbound and southbound to academy road. at this point northbound academy road is still blocked so stick to grant at your alternate but we think maybe they'll be opening that as well since they did open the ramps up. we have an accident in lower moreland township heaton road near republic road. in gloucester township camden county county house road we've been talking a lot about the huge potholes they've decided there are just so massive and so many they're doing a milling and paving project

area in gloucester township you're going to have some delays but it's for a good cause but the trouble is officials there in camden county say this is just the start of many emergency projects. we
