We will grab a cup of coffee sue has forecast stay right there we will be right back. A warm front is lifting through but a head of that were very cold temperatures we had yesterday when we never got out of the 40s. Therefore, we had that frozen precipitation up to the north. For most of us it has been pockets of heavy rain. The line between the rain and freezing rain and sleet has moved a little will bit further northward but in mount pocono it is still tricky travel up there. Temperatures range from 48 in the city to 29 in mount pocono. We have gonna about freezing in allentown, pottstown, reading, so that is just rain. Fiftyfive in wildwood as those warmer temperatures move in. It is a cold rain as dave kinchen has been telling you. It feels like 27 in allentown right now. Winter weather advisory continues for carbon and monroe counties for that icy travel, and what to expect for the rest of the morning an icy mix continues in the mountains, heavy downpours for the rest of us through the morning rush but should be tapered off by lunchtime. So with 62 degrees today dont get used to that, mid 50s tomorrow. Cold front at night with rain and then temperatures drop through the 50s, on new years eve, as the 30s at night, and when you are ringing in the new year and then for happy new year a child start to 2016 with a a high of 44 and a cold wintry weekend to start the new year, bob kelly.

Southbound i95 already slow from cottman in through girard, expect weather delays at philly international, best tip just check with your airline because flights that have been stranded or canceled, in other cities, could impact the departure of that flight out of philadelphia sometime today.
