Your turkey day 12333 in philadelphia, so that wednesday, foxcast, looking at temperatures this morning, for your travel day. And in the threes, as we move toward the afternoon, sun, giving way to clouds, high of 50, and then as we move toward tonight, temperatures bottom out low fours, 50s elsewhere, could be wintery mix for some, in the Lehigh Valley and poconos overnight tonight. But, 50 in wilmington, 50 atlantic city, upper 50s allentown and there is the mess, in the midwest, that will head in our direction for tomorrow. But the eastern seaboard, right now, it is dry, it is quiet, but chicago, rain, minneapolis, snow right now, memphis, looking at thunderstorms, moving into houston, as well. As we go hour by hour, you can see, for tonight, dry, temperatures chilly, could be a little bit of some snow in the pocono mountains, and then by tomorrow morning, upper 30s, it is cloudy, when does the rainfall move in for turkey day . Toward the afternoon. And it looks like those temperatures will be dropping, as well, for your turkey day. We will spell more of the forecast out coming up. But how are the roads on this busy day, bob . Scotty, the weather conditions out there, in the midwest, 7 00 our time, obviously theyre an hour or two beforehand, thats going to cause domino delays at Philadelphia International airport. Throughout the day. Downed wires in moorestown new jersey right in front of the Municipal Parking lot. Pse g crew on the scene, taking care of business there. Here is a live look at the schuylkill expressway. Some unusual traffic patterns, not typical jammo, like we normally have at this hour. Southbound, hightstown, swarthmore, getting record of gas leak, in the area of college avenue, at princeton avenue. Got to practice for the parade. You know it, practice again today. Theyll shut down the kelly drive and the Art Museum Circle, at about 9 30 this morning. So, they can practice until 3 00. Theyre going to take break, open it up for the evening rush, and anyone who typically leaves center city, after 6 30 on night like tonight, you know it is a hot mess, you want to get out of town before 6 30. If you typically head this way on the drives. And then of course that will stay closed all the way through tomorrow for the parade. Mike and alex back over to you. Thank you, bob. We take a look at the Philadelphia International airport. Because this is the busiest travel day of the year. Yes. For ooh million americans expected to make their way to their destinations, but lauren, she is at the airport, and weve seen some lines there. But not just at the airport. Steve keeley is at wawa in pennsauken, seen a lot of cars going through there, even buses. Sure. So. Where are you going start . Start with lauren . Okay. Hello alex and mike, so look at this. You wouldnt believe it. It is not really anybody in the lines here. Weve seen them, evan flow, a lot of people coming, so they can be gone. Janet joins us from triple a. Talking little bit about why so many people are traveling this year. Lets talk low gas price. Absolutely, low gas prices have, definitely been a trying they are year. It has put a lot of disposable income back in peoples pockets, and that affords them the opportunity to travel for the holiday. So talking home, 50,000 people we think will be at the airport today . About 50,000, philadelphia area resident, will fly to their destination this thanksgiving. Today, wednesday, is the heaviest volume in terms of departure days that the airport will see all year. Lets talk, this is busy day, one of the busiest since 2007, flight. Yes. We saw thanksgiving day travel, somewhat peak in 2007. Then once the recession hit in 2008, we have been steadily increasing travel volume ever since. The most travelers will see this year since 2007. And how much has the average traveler spent on their ticket to get to the turkey day table . This year triple a projected that the average rounds trip flights, 205. Thats actually up about 20 from last year. But still reasonable for a family that wants to travel. Seems like it is a real low price, 205. Thats good. Janet, thank you so much. Mike and alex, the line nothing compared to what we saw maybe an hour ago. Most confusion, not knowing where the tsa pre check line; oh, get here oh, i have to get to give rent line. But expect that to happen because people coming today are these one time a year travelers, not the experience business travelers you see sometimes. Ive even done that, gone to pre check line, like no, no, no, get to the real line. Like oh, man. Making the 6 30 flights, probably little lull. Another rounds coming for sure. All day, all day. All day all day. 570,000 people are hitting the roads from the philadelphia region alone. You know how triple a get the number . Somebody stands out on the turnpike with a clicker, they do that 567,000 times. Interesting job . It would be. Click, click, click. Into new jersey, like this Iron Mountain trucker doing, so you got that blinding you, as well. And way more traffic, because you dont just have the normal people who are working today but then you have all of the holiday travelers just leaving now. Weve met lots of them. So a lot of people on the roads. Look at route 73 here. These people coming from philly, headed eastbound. What they tell to you do is they tell you if you didnt leave sunday 6 00 a. M. , wigs the best time to leave, for thanksgiving, by the way, do you want your relatives from the sunday before thanksgiving at your house . Do you really want people there that long . Anyway, the best time to go back home, ready for this one . 6 00 a. M. On saturday. So who is going to get up early on saturday, when youre off, but thats what they are telling to you do, because you dont want that black friday crowd hitting, you, as well, best time, 4 00 p. M. Saturday. Dont leave 4 00 saturday afternoon, thats when triple a says everybody is going home at the same time advice from people who got up real early today to get to grandmoms house. Couple friends said lets have some fun before the holidays start, so were going duck hunting. You cooking duck . I have two turkeys im cooking. Im leaving early, get out of work early today. Leaving early to beat the traffic really. You know . Get safe. Leaving early, we want to beat the rush, get past washington, and baltimore, and hopefully beat that traffic and be in North Carolina before you know. Any advice for people traveling this morning . Take your time, dont drink and drive and be with the family. Any time i give you any kind of compliment, so im going to thank you again this year, because im not going to do this as long as do you it. I can tell you right now. Barely getting through every day as it is. But looking at team behind the scenes picture right now.

Im north coming back to this area again, ill go somewhere warm, because it is so cold today, im going as close to the equator as i can. Oh,. But anyway, getting back to the point, mike, who are those people behind the scenes who do such a wonderful job every day . Steve, i dont know why youre doing this to me, avenue head cold. You know i dont talk to my coworkers. Ive known ive worked with these people five, six years. Most of them i dont even know. Jeff kline, megan willky, candice there, kinds of dark, so trying to see everybody. Chris is in the really bright green. Put it back on steve .

Alex, Walter Cronkite used to do this, the wednesday evening before thanksgiving every year. He used to thank all the the science people.

Samantha power ambassador to the united nations, so, yes, nikki haley would not be the first to is her in that post. Thank you for clearing that up. Yes. Lets go. The day before thanksgiving, but this is a big move. Nikki haley had cautious things to say about donald trump, put it that way, but it does look like hes coming into the fold now, and that job, by the way, talking about elevating that to cabinet level post. Other positions including secretary every state that may go to former trump rivals. Donald trump arriving in florida. Headed to his estate for thanksgiving. But the intrigue in trump towers continues. Yesterday, trump emerged to meet with editors and riders from the New York Times part of on again off again meeting the big headline this morning from the time. Trump drops new investigation into clinton as much as trump preelection crowd, delighted in light of prosecuting clinton over email use and the dealings every her Family Foundation it is not something that trump will seek as president. Some not happy about the move, the others which is done in it. Dow really want to take up front page space, talking about Hillary Clinton every weaning . I dont think so. Other trump news, president ial candidate ben carson said hes been offered cabinet post, secretary of housing and urban development. I would say one of the options on the table. Newspaper in South Carolina reports that trump wants governor Nicky Nikki Haley to be. N ambassador, and mitt romney becoming secretary of state, replacing former new york rudy giles, some may find truck. The kind of tough minded America First policies, that trump has campaigned on, trump, somebody at state, very tough. So we lost the signal for doug there. Im going to blame this on my cold. Okay.

Oh, look at them in 08. Oh, my gosh. Wow. They grew up so fast. Okay, alex. Seriously. You know what people normally say when they see stuff like this, it means were getting olds. Oh, ya. Listen, the only good thing about the two candidates this year, clinton and trump, theyre older than me. And always used to make me feel good that the president was always older than me. And when i was older than the president , i felt bad about that. But now, ya, old people are back. The things you are happy about. And to watch baron grow up. Oh, that will be a good time. I love spoiled kids. Stop t we dont know that. No, i dont know, but my kids are spoiled, what i am saying. Because you spoil them. Okay. Wish i had a kid named baron.

The turkey enjoys snacking on worms, and walks with swagger. No, i had to give thomas the lesson, it is swagga, there is no er. Really, do you say swagger . He walks with swagger. So anyway, it the ot who enjoys oh,. Thats the other one. Oh, sews there is tater and tot. Also enjoys snacking on tomatoes slice and walked with a relaxed saunter. It is a saint er. But when spells wrong it, makes a difference. Now, whats the difference between saunter and a swagger . It is like hey, and swag is her more like the studio . Swag is her more like ya. Yeah. And then saunter this is swagger. Scott, why dont you show us . Do you have more swagger or more saunte . I dont know, maybe little bit of both. Oh, okay. Strut your stuff on this travel day.

And across the board, looking at 50 for the high in center city, a down the shore, upper 40s in the Lehigh Valley. So, take a look at the eastern seaboard right now. We are dry. That i95 corridor looking good. But off to the west, look at that mess, minneapolis, chicago, sense nasty, memphis, it is headed in our direction for tomorrow. We will go hour by hour, through the day, no problems. Cloud cover tonight. Upper 30s, across much of the area. There might be couple of flurries in the poconos overnight tonight.
