Our temperature is close to the normal High Temperature for this time of year. The temperatures should be in the 20s or nowhere near that. Look at that live picture, the view from the nbc10 studios. You can make out clouds in some neighborhoods. Clouds showing up in south jersey. Especially interested in the showers that are coming down in the Lehigh Valley and berks county. You see raindrops, theyre on the move. Theyll be swinging through allentown and easton to start with. This time of year, wet weather, youll be concerned about slipping and sliding and icing conditions. Thats not happening this morning. Look at the temperatures, 38 in new jersey, 40s with that rain in the Lehigh Valley. 40s if philadelphia and the 40s in philadelphia and the suburbs, too. A mild start, and the clouds will break just like yesterday. Well get enough sunshine to warm into the 50s across the board. Well break it down hour by hour when im back in ten minutes. First, Jessica Boyington with first alert traffic. Serious news and an update on the p. A. Turnpike. Earlier we had a crash, several vehicles involved. Earlier we only had a lane lost. Now all lanes are completely blocked on the westbound side of the pennsylvania turnpike. Thats what this strip of red is here. Around mile marker 350. The crash has closed it down. Huge delays because theyre diverting traffic off now. My idea of an alternate for you is really not to get on the p. A. Turnpike and to get off and avoid getting on the exit ramps. You see the surrounding roads are starting to be slow. Avoid the p. A. Turnpike now for at least the next hour or so before we start to see this clear out of the way. Alternate routes are definitely something that youll want to plan into the morning commute. In burlington township, jersey, a vehicle fire on 295 southbound around the area where i was seeing a delay. At 541, approaching that, some of that has left the maps system there.

Rosier couldnt hide his emot n emotions during this report. Its been a very tough morning. Tough to process whats taken place. You had every type of person on board. You had the rail enthusiasts who wanted to be part of history. You had the work commuters trying to get to the office.

Breaking news in the overbrook neighborhood. A familys evening shattered by gunfire. In the basement of the home a 27yearold was killed from numerous gunshot wounds.

Thats peterson speaking to the eagles after they beat the giants and clinched a firstround bye. As you know, it wasnt pretty. They could clinch Home Field Advantage if the vikings lose over the weekend. Thats what has to happen. In that case, peterson said hed consider resting players. With the eagles playing an important game on christmas night, a lot of fans are changing up their holiday plans. This guy jim seriaco, getting his game trailer ready. He said the family pushed the celebration to Christmas Eve so everyone could cheer on the birds. The holiday wont be completely at the back of everyones minds.

If you step outside, it doesnt feel like the christmas weather youd expect. It sure does not. 6 36. In the 40s. Yeah, you see the clouds starting to thin. Were on our way to see sunshine. Were starting off with clouds along with the mild temperatures and the two are associated. The clouds are helping us stay warm this morning. This is allentown which has seen a few raindrops. Unusual for december. You see the light showers that are moving through the Lehigh Valley. Theyre on the move, theyre not going to last like yesterday. When you see light showers to start with, then they will quickly move out. The hourbyhour forecast shows a few light showers in the suburbs at 7 00. By 9 00, they swing through trenton and move offshore. A few sprinkles, then sunshine like yesterday. Like yesterday, a good warmup. 43 degrees now. Warm to start with. Once we get the sunshine at lunchtime, and into the middle to upper 50s in neighborhoods by 2 00 in the afternoon, 54 degrees. Clouds over the suburbs. This is where weve seen more scattered showers than the rest of the area. The temperatures fortunately are well above freezing. Out of the danger zone as far as icing. Not going to happen today. 50s this afternoon. The clouds will break for sunshine in the Lehigh Valley. 42 now. 43 at 10 00. Near 50 this afternoon with a breeze out of the southwest at 12 Miles Per Hour. New jersey, clouds, you might see a sprinkle or two in central new jersey. I think most of the rest of the area will be dry. And then sunshine this afternoon for interior new jersey and at the shore. Look at the 50s this afternoon. Delaware, right now youre at 44. Still 44 at 8 00. Then the clouds break. On track for 50s this afternoon with winds helping with the warmup today. Theres a cooldown before another warmup this weekend. Then the real cold air moves in next week. Ive got it all with the ten day on 10 when im back in ten minutes. Were following breaking traffic news along the pennsylvania turnpike. Jessica boyington has the details. If you take the turnpike or anywhere around the bensalem area, side roads leading up to the turnpike are jammed. Its closed westbound around mile marker 350. Approaching that westbound traffic where we had an accident involving several vehicles. Earlier we had just the left lane closed. Now all lanes are closed moving that direction. Heres delays approach could the scene where theyre diverting traffic in the area. Again, westbound, that stretch is closed. Were seeing huge delays behind it, of course. I would suggest to completely avoid the p. A. Turnpike altogether. You dont want to be stuck in the traffic thats being diverted off. That will be a massive delay with one car at a time getting off on an exit ramp. Thats not what you want to do. Youll add so much time to the commute. Take street road, street road will be an alternate. No matter what you take, it will add time to the drive. You can probably sit in this you probably do every day because its a typical delay. Nothing is ahead of this. This is the schuylkill expressway around cityline avenue and westbound. This is traffic moving toward the conshohocken area. Just pretty much stop and go from about montgomery drive and moving up the. Watching the bridges, clear over the tacony palmyra and betsy ross.

Again, since this is the westbound side, all the traffic even from new jersey will run into the delay. For now, avoiding the p. A. Turnpike will be the best bet now. You can take street road. You can head west on street road and head that direction before you get off on 611. On to the p. A. Turnpike again. Thats still going to take you extra time since its out of the way there. But either way, thats going to be better than sitting in this. Im sure this traffic in here is at a complete standstill trying to get off on ramps with the closure in place.
