cover off the coast more clouds off to the west probably fall apart before we get here. the story is the temperature and the wind chill and right now your numbers are not kind. 10 degrees in allentown currently, 11 degrees on the thermometer in trenton, 13 degrees in philadelphia, just 12 in wilmington. 11 in reading. 12 in millville. cape may 16. not much better there. and winds are beginning to build and probably get a little bit stronger after sunrise, even now we've got a wind chill making it feel like it's 3 degrees below zero in philadelphia and trenton and allentown. four below in reading. seven below in lancaster. zero in wilmington and negative two in millville, new jersey. temperatures across the rest of the afternoon staying pretty chilly. little better than yesterday when we stopped at a high of 20. today model has us up to about 24. i actually think we're going to get to about 26 by, say, 3 o'clock or so. lots of sunshine today but enough of a wind running west eight to 16 miles per hour where those wind chills will remain in the single digits up until about lunchtime and hold on or about 12 through the afternoon. very raw out there.

you'll want to bundle up and cover up once again. karen we'll be back with the latest on that potential nor'easter coming in wednesday in it through thursday. >> vacation is over. time to tune back in. a lot of weather going on and we expect to see a lot of track as well. looking outside live here i-95 at the betsy ross bridge we've had a disabled vehicle southbound. you want to watch for that as you're traveling. camera shaking a little bit in those winds and you got to turn that heater on. make sure you're ready for your car to be stopped, too. we've seen a number of problems with disabled vehicles. carry that blanket blanket and extra cell phone charger. vine street expressway approaching the schuylkill, it's quiet on the vine. no overnight construction last week and nonscheduled this week. so, you should be good to go on the vine street expressway. on the big picture don't forget in roxborough that water main break from yesterday we've seen a lot of those, this one's still causing an issue here and that's jamestown avenue at henry avenue. to avoid it stick to walnut lane as your alternate. and that new water main break we have been talking about jeanette reyes has been on the

scene in northeast philadelphia a residential area, an icy area on minden road at medford road. if you're here, you want to stick to lester road and dunk's ferry to get around that. i told you about this trashy problem on the turnpike. we had some trash on the road and cars kind of swerving around it but they cleared it up. you're good to go now westbound on the pennsylvania turnpike past willow grove, seeing those speeds and that green traffic flow for now, matt. >> thank you, karen. from the trash back to the icy water. that water main break you mentioned is breaking right now. it created an icy mess in a northeast philadelphia neighborhood. "action news" reporter jeanette reyes is live at the scene on minden street. good morning, jeanette. >> reporter: good morning, matt. i just got off the phone with the water department. they're telling me they're barely keeping up with all of these calls of broken water mains. take a live look behind me. they did shut the water off, that's what the overnight crew does. however, repairs won't start until 9:30 and you can see the road is an icy mess made worse after hundreds of gallons of water came pouring onto minden road. take a look at this video here

that we were able to get. hopefully you're seeing where one of the homes -- there are three homes impacted and by impacted i mean water in the basement, in the garage and one of the homes you can see the water is pretty leveled off. this is in a driveway that dips down quite a few feet. so, the homeowners, we tried talking to them, they are understandably pretty upset about this. they are looking at quite a bit of damage as a result. so, now, numbers that rye got from the water department, at this point we know 125 homes don't have service until this is fixed. that will start at 9:30. that is what the day crew does. at 9:30 they'll get down into the ground, they'll repair this water main which i'm told is 8-inches. it's not nearly as bad as it could be but certainly quite an inconvenience for these residents. at this point we know age is usually a factor but more than anything, the temperatures, these frigid temperatures are quite a big contributing factor. we are going to see these cold temperatures for days to come

and the water department will try their best to keep up. as soon as we get some more information we'll be sure to pass it right along but as karen has been saying, minden and medford roads, if you can avoid it, do your best to do that. reporting live in northeast philadelphia, jeanette reyes, channel6 "action news." tam. >> good advice. thank you jeanette. and also breaking this morning, gunfire left a man critically wounded in north philadelphia. temple university police and philadelphia police responded to the 1800 block of west norris street at 2:00 this morning. the 24-year-old victim was slot in the thigh and rushed to the... shot in the thigh and rushed to the hospital in critical condition. so far no word on suspects or a motive. also overnight a man is fighting for his life shot twice in the head in north philadelphia. this happened on the 2200 block of north 23rd street late last night. police rushed the victim to the hospital where he's now in very critical condition. and again, there's no word on who shot him or why. >> a germantown family is waiting for the heat to come back on in their home. victoria collins says she noticed something was wrong

yesterday morning. >> i went, you know, to turn the water on and realized we didn't have any water so the fact that we have our water boiler or heater that was a big concern, i figured maybe the pipes had frozen. >> collins says she called several plumbers but was told it would be days before she could get service. the philadelphia water department says internal pipes are the homeowner's responsibility. they do have a list of tips on what to do to prevent pipes from freezing or what to do if you think your pipes are frozen. i've shared a link to that page on my twitter feed. very important to keep the pipes at least above freezing temperatures. >> yeah. >> all right. talking about just how cold it is out there, like your face just kind of freezes. >> going to be impossible to keep us above freezing if you're outside today so do plan on bundling up. storm tracker6 live double scan shows us we're dry and sky6, clear skies over

philadelphia and elsewhere across the region. that would include that river rink. you think they could light those trees up in red or something just to give you the illusion of it being somewhat mild down there but it is very cold and i guess those white and blue lights are pretty appropriate this morning. 13 degrees as you step outside in philadelphia right now. 10 degrees in allentown. 11 in reading and trenton. 12 in wilmington. 16 in cape may. and again the wedges in wind chills in most neighborhoods making it feel like it's below freezing. very sim la are -- similar to yesterday. you'll need your shades behind the wheel. lots of sunshine expected on the highways and byways. out to the west of us there's some cloud cover but most of that probably falls apart before it gets here. in the lehigh valley mostly sunny, still bitter cold today with a high of 24. wind chills in the single digits all the way. down the shore, lots of sun but bitter cold. 27 degrees. wind chills getting up into the low double digits and in philadelphia, plenty of sun, brisk and cold, a high of just 26 degrees. again, wind chills probably in

the low double digits later this afternoon with that wind building out of the west at eight to 16 miles per hour. and future tracker6 shows you we move from below zero wind chills right now up to about zero in the poconos by noon and maybe 11 in philadelphia. 3 o'clock when the kids are coming home in from school these are the wind chills they'll be dealing with. extra gears. a lot of them are like mine i-just want to wear a sweatshirt. put on something better than that. lots of layers and the gloves. 6 o'clock and beyond we're still looking at those severe wind chills. that's going to be the story from start to finish today. overnight winds die down a little bit, mainly clear but it's still bitter. 14 the overnight low in philadelphia and some outlying suburbs getting down to eight. we are looking at a nor'easter then for wednesday night into thursday. this is going to develop on the weak side down to our south but really start to blossom as it gets up close to our latitude. most models having this storm far enough off our coast to give us more of a minor impact but there are a couple of scenarios. one would be a little closer

and that would give much of the region several inches of snow. the second track would be farther off the coast and in that case only areas right down by the coast would see snow. having said that, the model projections are still varying somewhat. future tracker6 showing you that the arrival time is probably after about 8, 9 o'clock at the shore and then by 5:00 a.m. thursday, possibly spreading to the west of philadelphia depending on which model bears out. european model, though, only also has from about philadelphia to the shore one to 3 inches and maybe one or less on the northern and western suburbs. having said that i do want to quickly show you that as usual, there is a wide variety in model projections. these are projections for philadelphia. we're thinking somewhere in the .2 up to 1.1 or maybe 3-inch range is probably most likely with a higher amounts building down toward the shore. but the rpm's a little bit higher, 5-inches and if that storm was to veer a little closer to the coast we could be looking at a more impactful storm. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, today's high

is 26 brisk cold. if you've been hibernating, 31 degrees a little bit better on wednesday. as you saw in the evening and late night, snow sweeps in off the coast and continues for a good portion of the day on thursday. it is a nor'easter. it will be windy and cold with a high of 29. but right now we're leaning toward a one to 3-inch accumulation. keep your eyes on these storms, though, whenever you see them coming in the forecast as they can always veer a little closer and give us more. right now it looks like a fairly minor impact. then an accuweather alert on friday and saturday because behind that storm, yeah, we get another shot of bitter cold air. 16 is the high on friday, 17 on saturday. overnight lows in the low single digits could both be close to records and then on sunday, it's still pretty cold with a high of 23. finally monday we get back into the upper 30's although that day a clipper could bring us a little mix of snow, wet snow and maybe some ice. >> don't know if you can get a break there. >> no. >> thank you david. 5:10 now. we're following new developments on the unrest in

iran. protesterring have be trying to overrun military bases and police stations. >> american agents will be in investigating the plane crash in costa rica that killed families with ties to our area. >> a former miss america winner and tv news anchor is taking the reigns of the pageant organization. karen. >> i'm excited about that announcement. not so excited for this poor guy. we've had a disabled vehicle that's been stuck. you can kind of see the flashing lights here on the boulevard extension southbound as you head towards the schuylkill here at ridge avenue. that poor guy has been out there awhile. also a dark ride on the boulevard between fox street and ridge with the lights being out. we'll take you to king of prussia, check traffic there next. >> ♪
