freedom from precipitation. but not for long. because as we look ahead we see that there is some rainout to our west, and the leading edge of this warmfront has moved into virginia. so we're still getting a little discrepancy from our computer models. because we have dry air mass in place right now. weather, we will get any of this rain today, and here's a look he at the future cast, different model than we showed you last time. this has it us okay through about lunchtime maybe 3:00 little sprinkle or two so maybe wear the waterproof jacket today. still need to be warm today. although temperatures will be upper four's, instead of the lower 40's. see the rain on and off through the night through 4:00 a.m., through 10:00 a.m., still kind of rainy as the rest of the warmfront comes through. temperatures get really mild tomorrow until late at night maybe 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 midnight this cold front comes through. thunderstorms could happen. and you can see the cold air behind it, because precipitation changes. at least far north and west of us, to some frozen precipitation, possible, through about noon on friday. so we'll see how this all plays out but be prepared for huge roller coaster ride, and temperature and precipitation. 30 degrees in philadelphia, as you walk out the door right now, 17 mount pocono, 23 in reading and lancaster and 20 in millville, new jersey. we have high yesterday that was only 40 degrees, should have been 56. really was just so raw with the clouds that hung around for most of the day. today in the seven day forecast here's the roller coaster ride. forty-eight today, 68 tomorrow. 20 degrees! and then 52, now that high of 52 will probably come early in the day on friday, and temperatures will plummet so that our high on saturday, may not even reach 40 degrees. sunday's hi, 48. back to the 50's by the middle of next week. so perhaps a little bit of weather drama bob kelly over the next 48 hours. >> oh, drama over there. good morning everybody 4:47. i got some drama on the roadways here, i-95, for the gang headed northbound, through bucks county, an accident involving a tractor-trailer. this is 95 northbound, right at the newtown-yardley interchange, where the left lane, as you can see here, is open. here's what happened. i'm being told tractor-trailer rearended another vehicle on 95 this morning. i'm not sure if that vehicle was off on to the shoulder, or what the deal was but the bottom line right now is that the right lane is blocked left lane open, and this is 95 northbound. it will slow you down. this is the stretch just above the turnpike, where there is no overhead street lamps. as you roll up into bucks county, right before you get to the scutters falls bridge. so northbound, down to one lane, and right now we're okay because it is light volume. give it another hour or so, and i think we will start to see the jams pom up there. and then west, on 422 as we go for a ride, watch for an accident just west of route 29 between 29 and that royersford interchange septa still using shuttle buses on the market frankford and the subway line until about 5:00. hello northeast philadelphia, live look at i-95, right near cottman avenue. looking good as you work your way southbound again all this week. they are setting up new barriers on 95, in the betsy ross bridge interchange for what's the new project coming our way. and for the gang in the neighborhood, grays ferry avenue, still blocked fits water to bainbridge. it will be with us for about a month. putting in new water main system obviously digging up the road surface so some local detours, even the school bus haves to go around the block this morning. otherwise, coming in from south jersey no problems on the freeway 55 295, all looking good and if you are headed to the airport, good for you. no delays getting out of town. chris, lauren, back over to you. >> all right bob thank you so much. a woman is dead after being
