showing this low pressure will brush the coastal area, first rain, early morning snow. that moves out pretty early tomorrow and the surface trough moves in during the day tomorrow with intermittent light snow. it's not going to be a major system but it could cause some problems and tomorrow night temperatures dropping well down into the teens and 20's. so tomorrow night there could be icing on untreated surfaces. tomorrow is an accuweather alert day thanks to these brushes of snow. that coastal low tonight will bring rain changing over to snow along the coast. some areas could get a coating to an inch of snow there. that surface trough moves through tomorrow. that's more widespread intermittent light snow, a coating to 2-inches really depends on where you are. i'll have a map and then i'll talk about not two but actually we have three potential snow events this week. all the details on that coming up in the full accuweather 7-day forecast. >> wow. >> welcome to february. >> we

a lot of rooms, a lot of cells. people want to do that with your life. >> there's nothing police could actually do on that. it's on people. it's basically about folks actually having some common decency done what's right. >> reporter: certainly an unfortunate event unfortunate for the hotel and the guest there. now again we are told their staff and administration working very closely with

heights bob brooks channel6 "action news." monica. >> thank you bob. roxborough auto shop employee was robbed and shot inside by two men. authorities now need your help tracking the suspects down. it happened at mike's service center in the 8900 block of ridge avenue. one of the suspects pulled out a tek nine semi automatic handgun while the other tried to grab money from the register right there. now when the employee tried to run away he was beaten and kicked. before the men left, they shot the worker in the side unfortunately. >> all right. time nowpdate on the highways and byways for your monday night commute. >> let's take it live to matt pelman in the "action news" traffic center. >> big problems along the schuylkill expressway. it's a motorcycle crash here in the westbound lanes just past girard avenue as you head toward montgomery. the bike is right here on its side. the good news is we've seen the motorcyclist up walking around. the truck was also involved in the accident. now there's a fire truck and an ambulance on the scene so two lanes bloc blocked, only one lane gets by coming out of center city on the westbound side of 76, the schuylkill expressway, which as you can imagine does not do good things to the traffic. we're jammed as you come west of university avenue so coming out of the city this afternoon, i would use the river drives, even lancaster avenue, the westbound side of 76 right there is not where you want to be. had a crash earlier on 95 in south philadelphia. northbound side approaching the walt whitman bridge. that's now all off to the side but speeds are still around 11 miles per hour as you come north of the airport. the platt bridge is busy but would be better or think about using the passyunk avenue drawbridge as another alternate to the girard point. haddon heights crash on 295 southbound approaching 168 off to the side. still slow coming down from 73. patco resumed service, trains not running as frequently as normal but they are running every 20 minutes this afternoon and making all stops. we'll check it again, rick and monica, coming up in the next half hour. >> matt thank you. much more still ahead on "action news" tonight.

led the bureau after james comey was fired and due to retire this spring. some media outlets say mccabe was told to leave today. president trump has attacked mccabe since it was revealed his wife accepted campaign contributions from a hillary clinton allied from a fail run. >> spreading flu virus has a lot of folks taking extra precautions to protect themselves and that includes many churches. >> ali gorman joins us at the big board with more. hi, ali. >> hi, guys. anywhere you go that has a lot of people coming through, the less you can touch the better. and that includes where you worship. hand shakes have turned into fist bumps or flashing the peace sign inside many churches. there's less touching in an effort to reduce the spread of germs. some catholic churches are also not offering wine and sibow making hand started amore available. few years ago but due to the high flu activity recently many are bumping up their prevention practices. one pastor at union lutheran church outside harrisburg says without universal precautions a house of worship can become a house of germs. >> the one person in has to shake everyone's hand that has to give hugs when they need it has to pick up kids when they need it that's the pastor so right now our lead pastor is on round two of fighting off this flu. >> yikes. these are precautions that you should try to take almost everywhere you go because take a look at this. the flu virus can actually survive, it can live on the surface for up to 24 hours and then when people get the flu they're contagious a day before those symptoms start and then up to a week after they're sick. so, again, you want to make sure that you're washing your hands throughout the day or use a hand sanitizer. wipe down common surfaces. we're here at the news room wiping down all of our desks and computers and also you want to get a flu shot. the vaccine is not as effects tiff this year but it can help to prevent severe symptoms and it could help if another strand of the virus starts going around later in the season. rick and monica. >> i've been washing my hands like 10 times a day. >> i know me too. >> still not enough. >> thanks ali. if eagles fans still want to shout who let the dogs out. here's your chance. the fulton paper company got a new shipment of those infamous dog masks fans were sporting at two eagles playoff games. all four of its party supply locations have them if you want to wear one this weekend during a super bowl party. the birds are five-point underdogs although that did not hurt them in the last game. >> ♪ fly eagles fly on the road to victory. >> i like it. that little dedicated eagles fan is andrew his mom tells "action news" he fell and broke his arm last week. this is him singing the eagles fight song as he was coming out of being sedated in the hospital. wonder what he was dreaming about while he was under. hopefully a super bowl championship i hope. excuse me everyone! paul? paul? this is three million dollar mega multiplier the new game from the pennsylvania lottery with top prizes of three million dollars! three million dollars! did you win? i don't know. i'm so excited about it. this could be a big winner! just had to share. carry on. sometimes the moments before you scratch are as exciting as the moments you do. keep on scratchin'! >> panera is recalling all of its cream cheese because of possible listeria contamination. the 2-ounce and 8-ounce containers had an expiration date on or before april 2nd. these are the ones impacted. company officials say a recent sample did test positive for the bacteria. however, there were no reported illnesses. >> a south philadelphia clothing store just blocks away from the linc is hearing from female eagles fans far and wide and it makes us philly proud. the nrs boutique on passyunk avenue specializes in fans girl fashions. one of a kind women's clothes made from eagles t-shirts. as well as sweatshirts and even more. nicole makes all the items herself in the shop and she's getting orders from women all over who want to show their eagles pride. >> i'm shipping them out pretty much everywhere besides maybe new england area. but, yeah, people are ordering people are coming in. i'm doing a lot of like custom work. >> that's right. people are ordering, people are coming in and they're doing a lot of custom work. she says she's never had a rush like this at her store but she loves hearing from all those fans. >> time for a check of that accuweather forecast. >> meteorologist cecily tynan in the weather center with details on a little bit of precip we'll see tomorrow. doesn't look to be majorsystem. >> okay. >> it could cause some problems and with it comes the cold air. we're heading towards february. this is bound to happen. >> absolutely. >> let's head to the "action news" weather center. sky6 taking a look over the commodore barry bridge. the clouds are in place. clouds have been with us all day long. temperatures in the 40's and there is a little bit of rain developing along the coast thanks to a coastal low. double scan live showing that this is really, really light stuff. i don't think it's really reaching the ground in wilmington but near cape may, sea isle city near dover, likely some light showers and you can see they're beginning to push up to the north and east. that's one of two features moving through between tonight and tomorrow that will bring a little bit of that snow and really open the door for some cold air. right now, though, bad. after two days of temperatures in the 50's over the weekend we're in the 43 degrees in philadelphia. normal high for this time of the year is 41. so seasonable. allentown 43. trenton 41. atlantic city airport in pomona 40 and wilmington 43. satellite and radar showing the clouds are in place. we have two systems i'm tracking. one is low pressure. it's off the coast. this is what is bringing some light rain along the shore right now and there's another piece of energy what's known as an inverted trough that's moving in from the midwest. this is what will bring us more widespread intermittent light snow through the day tomorrow. so future tracker showing looks like the morning commute should be okay for most of the viewing area. lots of clouds and we will see some showers, some snow showers developing in our far western suburbs around 8 o'clock in the morning. this continues to push to the east by about lunchtime around philadelphia. notice we're not looking at a loot of heavy snow, just intermittent bands of generally light snow pushing through the coast and beginning to move off by about 4:30. so it's a quick hit. the ground is pretty warm with temperatures in the 50's over the weekend so it's going have trouble sticking. so snowfall totals lakehurst burlington ocean county from the coastal low that's currently bringing rain it will switch over to snow overnight could get a quick one to 2 inches. most of our viewing area from that trough tomorrow, that intermittent light snow we're looking at a coating to 1 inch but our far north and west communities, northern chester county, the higher elevation of upper bucks montgomery county all areas northwest including lehigh valley and the poconos one to 2 inches. this is also where temperatures will be cooler and the roads could get covered. if you are heading to minneapolis take the layers. take lots of them. the next two days temperatures not bad in the 20's but then as we head into the middle of the week we really drop. generally afternoon highs only in the single digits and teens. super bowl sunday seven, overnight lows dropping below zero. tomorrow light snow, the high drops to 37. on wednesday, sunshine mixing with clouds, 35. thursday rain developing at night, 48 degrees. that rain changing over to snow. by friday morning, could be a complicated friday morning commute, 33. on saturday, that's ground hog day saturday partly sunny 31 and i'm tracking the chance of more rain and snow on super bowl sunday. i'll talk about that in the seven-day forecast. ve active >> thank you cecily. >> quick break more news when we come right stay
