6:03 am
ice jack is overflowing onto banks. and in this case we look further right and onto river road in yardly. they tell me the good news is this intersection east ferry road and river road is right now the only intersection they have closed. let's take a look at some video. we want to show you one of the more disturbing sites that we've seen from this ice jam is people walking on the chunks of ice, trusting that this ice is strong enough and will not fall into the water. well, we also saw a deer get caught in this mess. police warn from walking on the ice in any capacity. some chunks are moving and can collapse into the river below. it still remains below flood stage, so that is good thing. back out here live i can tell you talking to people who live in this area they instantly
6:04 am

6:10 am
high valley and burkes counselee that are more likely to see snow. meantime in philadelphia, look at the temperature climb. 30 degrees right now. way too warm for the snow, so there's a chance we'll see a shower during the day. what more mikelikely we'll see sprinkles. still above freezing at 9:00. but it gets colder than that overnight tonight. so philadelphia, the rest of the area will get snow out of this system. hour by hour forecast shows the snow showers still off to the north and west. they'll be on and off during the early afternoon hours. but by this evening, that main batch of light snow finally starts moving into the area. now, here's what that warm air that occurs during the area does. by 1:00 in the morning, we could see some rain showers. but the cold is going to win this one.
6:11 am
look at the snow sweeping in and that will be cumulating snow. so tomorrow morning we will be slipping and sliding. and it gets colder during the day tomorrow, so that snow will stick on the ground. so the temperatures will be climbing today, but it looks like we've got some snow in for tonight, especially likely during the nighttime hours and into tomorrow morning. a look ahead at the weekend forecast when i'm back in ten minutes. good morning, everyone. jessica boyington with you right now with an update on the roads. just the delays remain here on the westbound sound right around south street following an earlier crash that completely closed down the westbound side. right over here they have what's left of the accident scene. it looks like a police officer and maybe somebody getting out of the way right now on this side shoulder. all lanes getting by just slowly. the eastbound side back to normal, too. also watching the blue route for

6:18 am
shoulder, but still slow. a lot of that is residual delay from earlier. the best way to bypass is for now especially according its moving is if you're coming from the southbound philadelphia area come from i-95 and move up the vine street kpexpressway. coming from new jersey heading into philadelphia we have two lanes only getting by, which is of course the beginning of rush hour when we start to see the most traffic trying to get into philadelphia. right now starting to see a slow down. watching for some flooding and some closures because of it out in trenton route 29, the exit ramp slow there as well. end here on 95. not seeing an increase really in the drive time yet. 15 minutes southbound from new haven road moving to the vine and average speeds there into the 50s.
6:19 am
we're tracking that slow moving snow as we take a live look right now at wilmington. bill henley has the most accurate forecast for your neighborhood. >> tracy by this time this morning, there'll be snow on the ground. this morning we've got snow falling into the lee high valley and also in reading. you can see the snowflakes accumulating on the lens. and the accumulation is not that bad. you can see the sate lights in the distance this morning. but we are under a first alert until noon tomorrow. tracking some light showers this morning. the snow moving into areas north and west this morning. the rain will develop for much of the rest of the area. the temperatures will be warming up during the day. that rain late tonight changes the snow overnight tonight, and the snow is going to stick on the ground. there's a light snow right now. falling in burkes county and
6:20 am
into the lee high valley. really hasn't made much progress. we'll be waiting a while interest the suburbs to see any snow because the main body of this system is still to the west. you can see it's in western and central pennsylvania. extends down to kentucky and tennessee. that's coming at us mainly tonight. here's your hour by hour forecast. dry in philadelphia. that snow off to the north and west. by later this afternoon you can see we're still waiting for snow in philadelphia. and you can see it's inching back into the lee high valley. so that main body of that snow is going to be coming in tonight. it's going to be dragging some warmer air, so we're likely to see some rain showers in delaware and south jersey before the snow takes over and pushes the rainout of here. that's 4:00 tomorrow morning, accumulating snow in the lee high valley and suburbs and pushes through to the morning commute.
6:21 am
it's going to be light snow but just enough to make things slippery by 9:00 in the morning it's starting to end and by early afternoon it's over. by the time it's done, most impressive snow totals will be the north and west. for the suburbs and into philadelphia, north hampton, abington, salem, 1 to 2 inches possible. and then farther south and east, yeah, we're going to get a little bit but much less. an inch or less. and with that rain it may be much less. so a chance of a shower during the day in philadelphia. mostly it's just going to be cloudy, 38 degrees this afternoon. but rain changes the snow. tomorrow morning we've got snow in the morning, drying out in the afternoon, and then we get a warm up starting on thursday. by fridays, 40s. 50s this weekend for saturday and sunday. looking good for the birds game on sunday night. and by monday we've got some rain showers in the area, but it's going to be too warm for anything else.

6:50 am
lee high valley. 26 in white hall township. so it's just snow coming down in these neighborhoods. and you can see into chester county right now, that steady, light snowfall is most likely to stay north and west this morning and into this afternoon. the suburbs, you'll see some scattered snow showers but especially in the lee high valley and beyond. this is just the first part of the system that's going to eventually swing into the rest of the area. but that's not going to happen until tonight for many neighborhoods. here's a portionf the system still to the west and a very slow mover. our first alert is until noon tomorrow. so that's a long period. that's more than 24 hours. tracking those snow showers this morning, some accumulating snow we've seen in those pictures. thank you for sending them in. some snow moving in, but it's not going to make much more progress than that. some rain tracking in going to
6:51 am
