to have you with us, this thursday, i'm thomas drayton along with karen hepp and sue serio. >> the precipitation is on our doorstep, almost here, and our weather by the numbers, we're going with measley four out of ten. and for the morning commute it, could even be less than. that will so our winter weather advisory is from 5:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the poconos mountains, expecting accumulating snow. right now, temperatures, critical to the type of precipitation, we're only a degree above freezing in philadelphia, we're right at freezing in lancaster, 28 degrees in pottstown, well above freezing in dover, delaware, but look at millville, 29 degrees, only 27 in atlantic city. so here is a look at our current temperature in the city. but it feels like 29 with the 33 degrees out there. so make sure you are bundled up. there it is, radar showing few flurries starting to edge into lancaster county. just flurries at this point. between now and 6:00, i think, is the arrival time of this precipitation, which will probably for many of us start out as snow. so cold start. eventually we just ends up with rainy, chilly, breezy day, high temperature in the mid 40's. and that is your planner for thursday. we're going to get you through the rest of the year and new years day, as well, in our seven day forecast. but right now, let's check traffic with a accident on the shoulder. this is in pennsgrove, new jersey, the turnpike southbound, just after the delaware memorial toll plaza, so with that accident on the shoulder, shouldn't slow you down too much. but keep an eye out for. that will once again on the vine street expressway, approaching 76, we have a view of a closed roadway. it is between broad and the schuylkill. where the vine is closed, as they continue that construction work. and still working on the water main break at penn's landing. it is not fixed yet. this is queen street, on columbus boulevard, they hope to have that next dollars by tomorrow.

this woman and her great granddaughter. they were founded stranded in a isolated rural area of virginia. seventy-one year old barbara briley and five year old la myra disappeared christmas eve, during road trip from mays landing new jersey to north carolina. law enforcement officers across three states performed extensive grounds and air searches last night, a man who just happened to be checking on his property came across briley and the child. they were outside of the car in a wooded area. police say the 71 year old was unconscious, and taken to the hospital in critical condition. the five year old child is okay. >> ms. briley and la myra outside the vehicle, probably 50 yards from the vehicle at a tree. there was apple juice boxes, some apples, some other items appear they probably had been eating and drinking several thumbs during the time period. >> they think briley became dis or y dollars, drove up a dirt party, the car had been stuck, they think they had been in the area for days. relief they were found alive several days after they had been reported missing. karen? >> absolutely, jenny, goodness, thank you. >> police say a man drunk driving is to blame for a crash in kensington, pretty bad. the driver sped into another car, the scene is second and berks, just about four hours ago. he and two people in the other car that he struck were all taken to the hospital. that is the scene. all of the injuries are minor. time now 4:05, happening today, visitation service also begin for elderly south philadelphia store owner fatally shot on christmas eve. marie buck was shot several times on christmas eve as she stood behind the counter, at marie's grocery. police say no money was taken from the store. so far, no arrest haves been made. visitation will be held tonight and tomorrow morning, at funeral home south broad street. her funeral will be held friday at one is 1:00 a.m. >> 4:01 is the time. police asking for your help to find the people behind pricy smash and grab robbery. it happened in bucks county. let's get to up steve keeley by the kohl's in lower makefield. looks like you're inside there, steve? >> reporter: right in the doorway, sounds like atlantic city casino with the music playing, but this guy did some major after christmas shopping here at this bucks county kohl's, we're across route one from the oxford valley mall and sesame place. this guy got the 100% discount. no gift card used but look at our surveillance video that we obtained from lower makefield police. he used big sledgehammer. first to get into both set of front doors, then to the kohl's jewelry counter, not too far from the front doors, where the sledgehammer was used again on the glass cases. he carried in one of those canvas tool sacks usually used only by contractors and construction workers, filling it up, and he brought the bag in with him, with a estimated $100,000 in watches and jewelry. >> i mean, it is pretty shocking because -- >> we shop here all the time. >> yes. and i mean, i think we live in a nice area. so to think something like that can happen anywhere i guess is pretty scary. >> and so instead of a real after christmas sale sign on the front doors, we come back live, there is a please use other door sign taped here, then see the boarded up doors, both sets, this one and then another one on the other side, then right past the second boarded up door see the still boarded up jewelry cases with kohl's cardboard boxes all around them. so, they likely didn't get all of this stuff finished for two reasons. the guys that do this maybe off for the week, plus, they probably left it as is, for police to gather some evidence. maybe they were open for a fingerprint. karen, thomas there is guy used gloves, well thought out, and the police chief, told reporters last night, it is likely this guy had shopped in the store several times. so what they are going to do is they'll go back on surveillance video, maybe see if there is any guy, whole lot of surveillance during the christmas shopping season, see if any guy somehow has those distinctive nike sneakers that you saw in the video or anything else maybe that he was wearing that he may have worn in the last couple of weeks when he was in here looking to see what he was going to steel. >> great way to handle it, try to figure out the suspect. steve, thanks so much,

the pocono mountains, where we expect accumulating snow. throughout most of the early part of today. two-4 inches there, you can see the precipitation is on our doorstep, starting to sneak into the western part of our viewing area. most of which you're seeing here in lancaster county probably not quite making it to the ground yet. there could be some flurries flying around, eventually sneaking into chester county, and the rest of our area, so, all of it is moving in from west to east. you can see from the coloration of the radar, most of it is snow at the moment. and that's because of these temperatures, so we have 33 degrees in philadelphia. we have 23 in mount pocono. 30 degrees in reading. twenty-seven atlantic city. thirty-seven in cape may. and 32 degrees in wilmington. so we're very close to freezing, only few places where we're above freezing, but we do expect as you see the future cast temperatures to rise pretty quickly which means we'll have quick change-over. here we are at 5:00. we see the snow starting to move into lancaster county, then you see that this is where it gets dicey, around 6:00 this morning. so, basically, either leave now or try to put off your trip if you can, until we get that change-over to rain. at 7:00 to up 35 degrees, but north of the city in montgomery county, bucks county, in chester, we still see some dicey conditions, and even

which is 41 degrees. we went well above average on tuesday, with 64 degrees, then we reverse the numbers yesterday, with high temperature of 46. and that's probably where we will be today with what will end up being rainy day for most of us unless you are in the mountains, 39 degrees tomorrow, very blustery, won't even feel like 39. it will be coast one there. and 43 degrees, for new years eve.

off in the upper 30's for the mummers parade. not bad. specially because our gift to you is dry conditions for the mummers parade. that's a nice change. the rain monday and tuesday, and it looks like

effect for carbon and monroe counties, expecting two-4 inches of accumulation, very welcome for the ski resorts there. but for the rest of us, just going to be a mess. and just in time for morning return hour. so the leading edge, let's say, of this precipitation, starting to now edge into new castle county, delaware, chester county, pennsylvania, lancaster, berks county, not all of this is making it to the ground just yet. the precipitation moving into some dry air that we had in place from yesterday. but it won't take long before we start to see something out there. meanwhile, temperatures, critical, as to the type of precipitation, we will get. 33 degrees in philadelphia, only degree above freezing, then right at freezing in wilmington. so initially, it could be a little dicey. then we're in the 20's in pottstown, allentown, up to mount pocono, speccing it to stay snow there. eventually though as we look at the future cast, watch the temperatures, here we are with 33
