50's today, it is still two out of ten because we will have facing different challenges. the this is crazy 51 in philadelphia, 6:53 is our sunrise time. we just got rid of freezing rain and sleet. that is moving up to the north. milder air is moving n now we are getting into this area of heavy rain moving through west to east. colder temperatures out toward great lakes. those colder temperatures will start to move in and it won't be too long before that happens. again rain moving from west to east and maybe a little bit from the south. we will watch carefully, look at how crazy these temperatures are, 33 in pottstown. below freezing in reading 51 in the city. forty-one mount pocono 567893 atlantic city but only 35 in wilmington. so milder air is making its way in, but the problem is the ground is still very cold from the weekend so we are seeing fog not too much south and east not just yet but north and west of the city we're sock in lancaster, pottstown, allentown mount pocono and visibility isn't great in reading either. so plan on, rain today and lots of it, rain that is wind driven rain with 30-mile an hour wind gusts and this will all happen around middle of the day, probably rain moving in over the next couple hour picking up in intensity by lunchtime and cannot rule out a thunderstorm. what a crazy day been kelly and it only just begun. >> you are using all of the graphics every picture i got. >> everything we got we copy, pasted on there here's a live look at route 309 northbound an accident at paper mill road and sue said it right,

make it off to the side of the roadway. majors are okay. crews have been outputting down salt all night, secondary roads, side streets, scraping your ice off the carries a a chore. dave kinchen

thanks to so many of these surveillance cameras out here. one we are looking at right now, the man's friend and other cooperating witnesses because we are in center city, so many people saw some or part of this and they are now at central detectives where captain frank banford and his great detectives should get a good picture from the cameras and good description from the shooters from the witnesses. sadly chris and lauren on a snowy, sleet, freezing rain kind of even if night wearing a mask over your face and hat over your head doesn't make you look like a criminal until you pull out that large caliber gun. you will not stand out right away until you look armed. >> that is the dead give away. a villanova freshman under arrest accused of dealing the drug lsd out of the campus door

where several homes are damaged. >> another tornado was reported in mississippi and other areas suffered damage from strong wind, and shelfers were opened in one town, for people whose homes were damage or destroyed. >> that is really scary. i remember living in memphis when they would come right through, mississippi, arkansas. nothing you can do. >> big siren goes off. >> tornado sirens get off, you have to take cover. >> we will get weather of our own. >> we could hear some thunder today and maybe see some lightening once this rain, the heavier rain moves flaw with the cold front. in

inch in chadds ford and lehigh valley airport in allentown. philadelphia we measured an inch of snow, yesterday. so that is kind of there, on the ground, the ground is still kind of cold but this mild air is now moving in and eventually this cold front will come through with very heavy rain. you can see that rain down to our south right now. so that will be our problem for, well, not too long from now in the next couple hours, we will see that rain start to move in and think it will a affect us mostly between then and lunchtime, but say 9:00 a.m. and noon rain move in, and, there is whole. and that is where we will see that and, and, out there, and slippery conditions, quarter mile visibility in lancaster, fog any pottstown. allentown, mount pocono, reading, right now it is craze which

rain moves in, and here we see heavy rain starting to enter the mountainous areas by 8:00 o'clock. by 10:00 o'clock it is here and we could hear some thunder a and see some lightening. we could even make it to 60 degrees by 1:00 in the afternoon. all this heavy rain should be on its way out by three or 4:00 o'clock. may not affect the evening commute. then we will get the down to around freezing tonight. then we may have to deal with black ice with left over moisture from the rain that falls today. so there will be another set of problems, average high is 44 degrees. we have been well below average with that high of 33. today, wow, 57 degrees, 45 tomorrow. that high will come in the middle of the day and then we will only get to 40 degrees on thursday, but starting on friday, it is a warming trend as we head into the weekend, and after all this craziness things will stabilize and it looks like a tease event weekend on the way but not this morning. lots of travel challenges, let us say, bob kelly. >> when you walk out the front door as i walk up the street it will feel like wow, it is warmer this morning. it is not as cold. but what you are walking honor driving on is still in that frozen state. here's an example of the stump road, a combination of the snow, changing to ice, freezing rain, the chunky ice all thrown out on the roadway. the let's throw in fog to make it fun. here's a live look as folks come to the intersection here your tires will try to be stopping along all slush here until all of that turns into that liquid form and rolls over into the drainage grates.

obstacles this morning. the first day back after a long holiday weekend. always crazy on the first day back. ninety-five looking good out of the northeast philadelphia no problems on the the 42

famous for her powerful voice belting out her favorite ballots but did she have enough at the grammys? why some were unhappy with her performance. what is your favorite song? hell will owe. >> they say she was really flat last night, now she's making all kind of excuses and cbs is weighing in. okay. all right. but first your winning lottery numbers. president obama makes history as the first u.s. president to visit all ten countries that make up the association of the southeast asian nations known as asean. >> obamaed managers wants to strengthen at lines in order to counter growing influence of china one major issues is china's construction of the artificial island in the region. that means, that china is trying to stand its territorial waters a and potentially, freedom of

against ted cruz unless cruz apologizes over recent statements and political a ads from cruz campaign. trumble says ads are false, full of lies and demanding a retraction on. so, trump is also calling on the republican national committee to intervene here, trump calls cruz, quote unstable, and says he is not fit to be a presidential candidate. cruz is standing by his comments. republican voters in south carolina head to the polls this saturday. not sure if see the boys coming off. >> they always do. >> this one is really nasty. all right. a adele made what should have been her triumphant return

show we have more highlights from the grammys, and the biggest winners have the night because were you sleeping soundly through all this i stayed up and after ed sheeran got the his a award i went to sleep. i should continue. >> what? >> there is a wintry mix according to ultimate doppler, and weather authority apparently, people think i'm too perky. so now i'm not being perky, telling you that drivers that switch to progressive save an average of $548! whoo! i mean, whoo. the ground is still frozen out there, aloft people is dangerous to walk in this black ice. the surprising temperatures changes heading our way. >> weather wasn't the only dangerous element facing a couple, someone attempted to rob them and started shooting, what police say happened to the victim after they refused to give up their belongings. good day everybody. it is a pretty messy tuesday, february the 16th. >> it is 2/16/16. >> yes. >> here's a live look at olde city for you. here's the thing and we will will get to sue in just a matter of seconds. but we woke up to the ground being wet and that meant icy. now look at that your screen. 51 degrees at the air poor. dramatic rise in temperatures in just the last hour. >> it is crazy out there. temperatures are ranging from the 30's, to the 50's, and here's the best advice we can give you today, bring the rain gear, even though it the is not raining right now in most places, you will definitely need it later on because we're expecting heavy downpours. so 30's to the 50's that is how crazy the temperature swing has been. so warm front has now come through and that precipitation has moved to the north. now we are ready for this west to east movement of the cold front. you can see the air is cold enough for snow, in cleveland but by the time that cold air gets here we should be finish with precipitation. the it is raining now in lancaster county a and berks county but freezing rain mixed in because temperature is still dicey there. but here we are, craze 51 degrees in philadelphia at 5:30 in the morning. sunrise at 6:53. not expecting sunshine. winter weather advisory continues until 7:00 for carbon and monroe counties in the poconos mountains, winter storm warning continues until 7:00 for lancaster county for build up or more ice because temperatures still cold around there. you can see right there at freezing, just below in reading, 30's in allentown and pottstown. forty-one in mount pocono. fifty-one here. forty-seven in trenton. fifty's in south jersey. only 35 degrees in wilmington. so we expect to get in the 50's today with wind, rain, maybe an inch or more of rain on top of that layer of snow we got yesterday and it will taper off by evening and then we can calm down but we have an adventure for today, it is 53:00 two. let's check with bob kelly. >> you are not watching a rerun either, 51 degrees, that is correct at 5:32. that is on a tuesday morning, back to work, back to school for everybody. the here's a live look at the roadways, the combination of wet, slushy, the sidewalks are stillized over. we have it all going on. we will throw in fog out the there as well, just to add some fun. but caution step out you feel like it is warmer but down below where you are walking and driving still has effects of yesterday's storm. this is an example of the blue route ramp to the schuylkill expressway, a combination of wet, you still got the slushy snow on one of the lanes. all it will take is for somebody to go slipping, sliding until with those temperatures to the ground, road surface starts to feel effect of those higher temperatures. major roadways are good, it is getting to the major roadways where you have to use some caution. front step, driveway, use the scrape tore get the ice off of the windshield this morning. forty-two looking good. you will need your wipers throughout the day, still looking at 45 miles an hour speed restrictions on all major roadways. that is just to play it safe there. slippery platforms are out there waiting for you you a across the board on almas transit, even the buses, could be slippery this morning and expect minor delays at the airport. chris and lauren, back over to you. police investigating a shooting that happened just before 1:00 this morning. they say two men walking another man approached attempting to rob the men. as 29 ran away one of the men was shot in the arm. police have some advice, violence may come up to you while walking on the street. >> anytime someone a approaches you with a gun or a knife, or any weapon, the best thing to do is just to cooperate because it is not worth getting shot or stabbed or hurt. >> just hand over wallet, hand over the purse, whatever they want, right. so the man who was shot is in critical condition, hopefully he will be okay. police are hoping nearby cameras will help in this investigation. let's get back to the the weather, tricky day of travel thanks to a mix of ice, slush on the road. >> it is down right dangerous out there to walk or drive. dave kinchen on my way to work i spun out. thankfully didn't hit any car or hit the curb or round my car or anybody else's. it goodies heads up to take it slowly. we know temperatures have rising. have you noticed an increase in temperatures in the last hour of kop. >> what we're seeing here in kop is it looks like some ice may be melting. this is a side street. you can see the water running down there. there is ice but it is starting to run down to the side you down the street right there we just got an alert we were talking about spinning out, phoenixville area schools just sent out an alert, wow, that go just sped upright there. but he is going on right there phoenixville area school sent out an alert announcing a two hour delay due to ice build up. you can see icy roads. you can see ice on the sidewalk here. you need a light on to it see how slick it is. but, we turned around here. you can see, where the ice chunks are especially in the the light, hits it, the streetlight there i want to show you these cars, it is not just an icy build up on some of the roadways but you got to dig out if you are going in to work today after that holiday and it will take a little while, i mean, maybe if you have an auto start that will help you out but make sure you get that scraper ready to go because, the scraper will be favorite tool for this morning as you get down, get on to work, back to you guys. >> getting back to school a lot of kid, of course had days off friday and then gannon yesterday and running at the bottom of the screen here. so some delays we're getting delays from the schools this morning. if you need latest forgo to fox 29.com. let's turn to this a at the 5:36. a texas judge initially determined that an autopsy should be conduct on supreme court justice antonin scalia but then change her mind. >> judge changed her mind after talking to scalia's doctor who confirmed the justice had a history of heart trouble and other illnesses. she said medical history and lack of any signs of foul play meant that the justice likely died of natural causes and that no autopsy would be necessary. high court vacancy is center of the new campaign ad from republican ted cruz. >> in it, he has a stern warning for conservatives, cruz says we are just one supreme court justice away from losing on issues important to them. those issues like married, religious liberty and the second amendment. the ad also suggests donald trump would nominate more liberal suggestions a suggestion trump calls a lie. so back and fourth between cruz and trump continues. nba trade deadline is this thursday afternoon, the two players catching the eye of the sixers. good morning, i'm howard eskin. phillies spring training is here, pitchers and catchers report tomorrow in clearwater. this team is so new i don't have a clue who the players are on the phillies. in talking to bench coach larry bowa on sports radio 49 wip, i'm not the only one who doesn't know these players. >> guys are walking in today, i had to introduce myself. i have no idea who they are. i'm serious. >> did they know who you were. >> they came up to me and i just said sorry, i don't recognize you because we have a whole new roster. there is guys, it is unbelievable, how many guys you don't know. >> a lot of them. >> villanova at top at number one in the college basketball post. the first two games this week, one is at temple. >> i know a lot of my high school friend go to temple. it is a bitter rivalry. so it will be a very hostile environment but like you said, we have played in hostile environments before but this just happens to be close to us. >> sports in a minute. i'm howard eskin. sixers roster could look much different come thursday evening. >> here's why, the trade deadline is thursday, and now that jerry coangelo is helping run the show for the sixers, howard eskin say they could make a move to bring in a player instead of just draft picks. two players howard says sixers are gauging interest in for part of the possible deal are, big names, nerlens noel, and then rookie jahlil okafor. no moves to report just yet, but of course, thursday is a big day. >> you have to do something to turn this organization around. >> taylor swift cleaned up last night but it is her acceptance speech everyone is talking about. who say the singer may have been talking to, we will tell but that coming up. padvil pm gives you the healingu at nsleep you need, it. helping you fall asleep and stay asleep so your body can heal as you rest. advil pm. for a healing night's sleep. i will give you a preview of coming attractions as you are leaving, if you are leaving this morning early. there are slick spots out there especially back road and sidewalks, because even though temperatures have gotten warmer the ground is still very cold, so you could just be walk ago long and then all of a sudden hit that slippery patch. same with driving. temperatures will be rising throughout the morning but precipitation when it moves back in will be all rain, eventually. late morning, the heavy rain will move in and then we will be dealing with some flooding issues and maybe even some thunderstorms, so we have the warm front. mild air is in place. a cold front comes through which will probably touch off those thunderstorms just crazy. you see frozen precipitation has moved to the north and heavy rain moving from the south/southwest and we do have some light rain, in berks county, right now part of the lancaster county, some could be mixed with sleet or freezing rain, nothing much in the mountains and nothing in the city, falling from the sky anyway. there is a lot of slush, icy spots on the sidewalks and roads. winter weather advisory continues in carbon, monroe counties until 7:00 o'clock and winter storm warning for an accumulation of ice in lancaster county until 7:00 o'clock. we will see how that plays out with temperatures, that are warming up but there is fog in lancaster county, pottstown, allentown, mount pocono, because of the warm air moving over that cold ground and then look at these temperatures all over the place, 34 degrees, now we have inched above freezing in lancaster and reading, and of course in allentown and pottstown but it is 51 degrees here. only 35 in wilmington. fifty's down at the new jersey shore. the rain continues to move in throughout the rest of the morning. heavier stuff will come during the 9:00 o'clock hour into 10:00 o'clock and 11:00 o'clock, lunchtime will be very, very rainy when we could see thunderstorms. it looks like by four or 5:00 is when the storm is out of here and we will start to see precipitation taper off. then toward nighttime we will see temperatures dropping back around or below freezing. so tomorrow morning we could be talking about black ice. there is a lot of ups and down here. 44 degrees is your average high. we didn't even make it close to that with a high of 33. we will be well above average with upper 50's, mid 40's tomorrow after that black ice in the morning. 40 degrees on thursday and then a nice warming trend just in time for the weekend, mid 50's, both saturday and sunday, and make your plans, now to have some fun bob kelly, because this is not the fun out there right now. >> make some plans, put another pop tart in the toaster. i just got the phone call and an alert, two hour delays for a lot of the school district this morning. i think that is best idea, delay, delay, delay, longer you can delay higher temperatures will go and easier that commute will be. this is a cool spooky kind of look, you've got the fog, you have got fog ice snow and then car coming through intersection. this is upper state road and bristol road but an example of all of the elements that we're dealing with this morning. an example of the fog up along 309, hello allentown. 309, upper end of the north east extension again dealing with really thick fog knocking that visibility down. we are still looking at 45 miles an hour across the board on all of the major roadways. we will check with penndot the to see when they expect to have that lifted in just a second. as far as mass transit goes expect delays because of the weather conditions. slippery platforms as we go to step on to the bus, train platforms, steps, that first step out are front door will be slippery but it is 51, we have just jumped from 51 just the last hour or so. so all of the frozen precipitation is still sitting out there on the step, the driveway, the parking lot and even little ones will have to walk through that, i was calling it captain crunch chunky ice to get to the bus stop. today is first workday for dart service changes that went in effect over the weekend. have some extra change because they hike the fare up as well. so some confusion there this morning. possible weather delays down at philly international. not quite sure what the temperature is when they don't to have deice the planes anymore, but nonetheless just weather we are dealing with this morning, pack your patients and i will bet you a jelly doughnut we will have a delay down there here's a live look downtown philadelphia working our way in toward center city a and lets work our way over to the phones, brad rodolph
