Something to keep in mind over the next several hours if you drive into the city be careful where you park parking restrictions are in effect as of now on broad from arch to pine and around city mall and dick kin ton to oregon avenue. Parking restrictions will be in effect until 3 00 a. M. As police are expecting many people to flood the streets before, during and after the big game. Fox 29 Weather Authority right now. Live look over the ben franklin parkway. A rainy bit of a mess today across our area. Some ice mixing in locations as well lets get over to meteorologist kathy orr with a first check of the forecast. Green, i like your green hair. Boss said it was okay for me to wear. Did you see that. Look at lucy, one little green hair. Take look at ultimate doppler a lot of green on the 15 and you can see those reds and also oranges and yellows thats very heavy rain just moved through philadelphia and more is coming up the i95 corridor our northern suburbs we see the pink that is some sleet and freezing rain thats why the National Weather service has kept this advisory this is a Winter Weather advisory for wintery mix it goes through chester, even pars of central and upper montgomery and bucks for some snow and sleet freezing rain and that will be changing over to rain and all will be out of here by 10 00 oclock. Take a look at the future cast. You see all that yellow that is very heavy rain working northward as well. Staying wintry up in the poconos and then look how quickly this pushes out. It changes to rain everywhere with the exception of the poconos and then by about 10 00 oclock its out of here. So those post super bowl festivities will be dry. Thats good news. Right now its 33 in allentown. 37 in philadelphia. 47 in millville. Allentown just going over that freezing mark right now. So here at home temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s with rain late tonight. Of course, chris already mentioned it is. It is cold in minneapolis. The temperature i just updated e going to stay very cold right through the game. Kickoff just a few minutes away. Its two and the wind chill i double checked is about 12 below. Wow. Stadium is 70 that. Will keep you warm. Well talk more about the work week when we could have parade later in the broadcast. Sounds good. I got question for you kathy. Why. Why would hundreds of people line up in the rain today . Sounds like the beginning of a joke but its not. To watch the birds inside of Popular Center city bar. That is why magill lens old ale house began super bowl festivities wrist bands around 11 00 that. He told sought. They opened their doors to those who scored a wrist band at 4 00 this afternoon. Philadelphia police are preparing for what could be one of the biggest celebrations in the history of this city. If the eagles win tonight, should we say when, authorities expect at least 12,000 fans to pour into that popular cottman and frankford area and they will will be met by more than 300 Police Officers trying to keep the peace. There will be four checkpoints for fans Police Commissioner rid charred ross says while they try to keep everyone save they want fans to have a good time celebrating. Well be there ensuring that the city is protected and that the people that come out are protected and that we protect the reputation of the city as well. Police have also requested that bars serve customers drinks in plastic cups. All right. So what about School Tomorrow . Well Philadelphia School district officials want you to know win or lose tonight school is in session and if the eagles win tonight, who is going to work tomorrow is the question . One survey finds 30 of fans whose team plays in the super bowl are no shows for work the next day and if the city has parade tuesday or wednesday or thursday or friday, that means probably wont be a very Productive Work week for a lot of folks. So when can we expect to be productive again . Friday. Maybe next friday. Im thinking, yeah. You got the parade on tuesday. Maybe another celebration on wednesday. I think the city will be on high for long time. Besides the fact that a lot of people probably wont be at work monday any way, i think that youll see some productivity declines in the short term. Philadelphia eagles so heres the deal. Many Human Resource managers actually think the time has come to make the day after the Super Bowl National holiday. Safe to say employers are probably okay with that. Local student athletes honored for the commitment their commune they got a special message a member of the eagles and this.

Lets get back to your fox 29 Weather Authority now as we take live look at allentown in the lehigh county. What wet and messy on this super bowl sunday. How long can we expect this to last . Lets bring in meteorologist kathy orr with full check of your forecast. Decked out in her green, of course. Absolutely. Yeah, we have a lot of green on the radar screen tonight. A lot of rain out there and Blue Mountain right now were seeing some skiers still on the slopes. Theyll be watching the super bowl in a little bit. But were seeing rain little bit of sleet mixing in with the snow even in the poconos. Temperature right now in philadelphia is 37. The high today 38. There is not much wind out there. So at least we have that going for us. Ultimate doppler shows everything moving through rather quickly. Snow mainly through southeastern pa and you can see in the poconos and rain in philadelphia. This rain is coming down really hard. It will continue for the next couple of hours. We have that Winter Weather advisory in the areas highligh highlighted in lavender or purple for snow mixing with some ice and then all of this will be changing over to rain during the evening period. All out of here by late tonight so the fox future cast shows the heavy rain in yellow over philadelphia trenton and wilmington. This will be moving out by about nine, 10 00 oclock tonight. And oh even in the poconos we stay wintry mix as this departs off the coast. So by 10 00 oclock were drying out and hopefully after the eagles win it will be dry out there. Right now 33 in allentown. 36 in wilmington. 47 in millville. So its quite warm to the south and east. But not a lot of win. Right now the wind is calm in philadelphia at 13 Miles Per Hour southerly winds in Atlantic City thats why we have temperatures in the 40s there and wildwood a 14 miles an hour sustained wind. Now next week, were talking about some sleet and some snow during the early week period and add on to whats already have fallen today and then well see more rain moving in. It looks like by wednesday that when well see our next weather event. So for planning a parade, tuesday or thursday is looking much better than wednesday. Thats for sure. 32 in philadelphia overnight. 15 in the poconos. Pottstown 25. Allentown 25 and tomorrow not much warmer. Temperatures will stay in the lower 30s possibly inch up into the mid 30s to the south. Sunny and cold with winds gusting out of the northwest at 25 miles an hour. So definitely talking about a wind chill. Take a look at your seven day forecast from the Weather Authority. For your tuesday mostly cloudy, 40 a decent day. Morning snow and sleet on wednesday. That will change over to rain as we warm up. Thursday 35. Sunny friday 36. More rain saturday. And more showers hanging around by sunday. So lucy, we get the team home. Yup. We party. Thats right.
