So, there is our current temperature, 57 degrees, as the sun tries to burn through the clouds, we think it will succeed at some point today with a high of 75.

Hey, good morning, everybody, coming up 6 01 on a thursday morning, live look, at this accident on the schuylkill expressway. Somebody certainly hurt here.
