at this point, meisha. we're getting out of of it. >> that is what we're seeing, wet roadways and whatever we're talking about slippery road conditions we know, they can slow us down in the morning. that is what we're seeing right now. good news is we're not seeing the levels, the quick levels, that we have seen all week lock up until right now. we are starting to calm down a little bit in terms of everyone running out of the door in the 4:00 o'clock and early 5:00 o'clock hours. in terms of the volume levels we're looking okay. this is where we had an accident northbound side, before the walt whitman bridge, that is now been since cleared. what we're looking at now is southbound side where we're keeping my eye right now and plenty of headlights right new but overall in great company. we are however, because of the slick conditions seeing some problems on the roadways. we have a serious accident here, u.s. 30 westbound approaching white horse pike that road now has been called, closed. so you will to have use that alternate route 70 is your best bet, also we have another accident

sun starting to shine again. meisha. >> won't that be nice. thanks much, katie. looking outside right new we're talking about wet roadways out there. they are indeed. here's a look at new jersey 42 freeway north bound at creek road as we go northbound toward 295 this is what we're working with. not bad. looking good. would i say looking typical. typical in the world of travel is not necessarily a bad thing. looking at ben franklin bridge looking slick here as well, and it is also looking quiet which is a good thing. for those heading out earlier today not a bad idea to do so. i would recommend doing so. if you do you are in good company. basically any where we are looking is looking g we have an accident in palmyra, take a look, vehicle went in the pole here at second street, and you can use that alternate, temple boulevard, all lanes are not block but good alternate have to have. construction route 70 in cherry hill both directions between haddonfield road and cropwell road, one lane is block. that is blocked until 6:00 a.m. plus construction here as well, in westville, new jersey ro

meisha are getting us out the door this morning, keeping an eye on things. >> busy day. >> yes, it is a busy day, a lot like it was yesterday. the good thing is we have a lot to be counting or blessings for, no snow, ice on the roadways, no rain today. dry conditions. but they're heating up certainly, getting bus. >> i weather will be quiet today, next several days. you saw the picture, there those guys wearing the hats, winter coats. that's what you need this morning. it is coal. don't get me wrong. >> including you, justin. >> i had my coat. i have my coat. yes. so you know, i'm wearing a coat, it is cold. >> yes. >> colder than yesterday morning. twenty-two right now at the airport, philadelphia, suburbs down to the single digit, but the wind, that's huge. north winds, only around 6 miles per hour, so yes, windchills values notice teens, could be whole lot worse. yesterday, actually felt colder, when you factor in the wind. so 6 degrees colder compared to this time yesterday. 11 degrees colder, up into the lehigh valley and allentown. there you go, 12, the official temperature, delaw

meisha looks like the better shot for some steadier rain region wide. >> let's really enjoy this sunday shine that we have. you know, weather and traffic tends to go hand-in-hand. so what we are talking about right now very similar store what i we are seeing in werth. nice, going to be nice in weather today. so far, so good, on the roadways. nice and dry roadway conditions, so just waking up with us, anything about headed out the door and when you should, i would say right now safe to say you can leave when you normally would. no need to give yourself extra time except for the areas where we might have some construction, we do have that out there. good morning, happy friday, let's get into. schuylkill eastbound, looking great. see your neighbors out, there couple every friends, looking good both moving in the westbound and westbound direction. talking about some fire department activity. now is from row home fire, and our trang do is on location, talking about this little bit later n terms of the roadways, what are you dealing with? fulton between union and elm, closed, use alternate, t
