dave murphy and to karen rogers. good morning. >> we're starting out a lot more mild than we were the last couple of mornings. let's get a look on sat life. you can see how cloud cover has filled in a little bit so we're going start out a little on the cloudy tide side this morning but overall we expect some sunny breaks and it will probably wound up being more of a sun and clouds mix most of the day. 52 degrees on the thermometer. the temperature has gone up a little bit in the last half hour or so. allentown still in the 30's. that 37 represents a climb. you're starting to get a little bit better. as we go through the afternoon it gets a lot better. by 1 o'clock, 65 degrees. by 3 o'clock, 69. and we're actually going to get a high of 70 today but probably not until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. in addition, you also have pollen counts that are in the medium high range today. so keep that in mind. in fact we could be into the high range tomorrow and friday. got some rain ahead in the accuweather 7-day but does it hinder the weekend? i'll have details coming up from accuweathe

. >> ohio. 5:30 on this tuesday march 15th. let's go right on over to dave murphy and to karen rogers, they've got accuweather and traffic. good morning. >> it's been an interesting political season no doubt about that. we've got cloud cover out there this morning. some breaks around south jersey but i think generally speaking you're looking at a cloudy start. we also have tracking showers to the south that appear to be falling apart. some of the late model runs suggest most that of will not make it here. however we have drizzle falling from the low lying clouds in many neighborhoods this morning so even though you're not seeing a lot on radar your windshield wipers might be working a little bit this morning. 46 degrees in philadelphia currently, 45 wilmington. all these numbers a few degrees cooler than yesterday but with winds lighter it feels about the same. a little bit on the damp side on the bus stop and elsewhere this morning. cloudy skies, some drizzle on the bus stop, 44 degrees by 6:00 and probably holding on or about 44 by 8:00. as we roll through the day, though, we are go

a look at a warming trend when it comes to your accuweather. dave murphy has that and karen rogers is taking a look at traffic. good morning. >> good morning, everybody and we are off to a nice start this morning. partly cloudy skies. there are some breaks in the clouds. some of are you going to get some early sunshine and the temperatures are treating us much better across most of the region. we're only at 50 degrees in philadelphia right now. we have dipped to 35 in allentown but even that's better than yesterday when we were down into the upper 20's. 43 in reading, 46 in wilmington, 45 currently in trenton and close to 50 in millville. same story down the shore. as you head out to the drive way or on to the bus stop partly cloudy skies to begin, not as cold, between six and 8 o'clock we'll be up close to 50 probably in the upper 40's in philadelphia and as we roll through the day, it is going to be mild this afternoon with a high of 70. we'll probably hit that high right in there around 4 o'clock and 69 leading into it. by 3 o'clock, by 5 o'clock we're still very close at 69 deg

that will be followed by the winds of change. >> alall right, let's head on over to dave murphy. yesterday afternoon was great. waking up this morning a little different. karen has traffic. >> absolutely. rain is moving over towards the east of us right now but the roads are still wet in the western suburbs and we're still getting active rain in philadelphia. this will clear during the morning rush hour to the east but we are looking at a lot of changes this morning. first of all the numbers aren't bad as you step outside. 56 degrees currently in philadelphia. but as that rain moves away, colder air is going to rush in and we may actually see these numbers go from the 50's to the 30's this morning before we inch our way back up into the 50's. so, mild for now but don't expect it to stay that way. also very blustery. as this frontal boundary comes through, pushes that rain off the coast, the winds are really going to start gusting and we're already up close to 30 miles per hour in philadelphia. we could see gusts up over 40 over the next couple of hours so if you're headed out to the bus st

joining us. let's get a look at your accuweather and traffic with dave murphy and karen rogers. good morning. >> good morning everyone. >>> on the big board this morning we have satellite showing you a lack of cloud cover in the vicinity. just a couple of little clouds down south of philadelphia. there's more on the way to the west and we probably will transition to partly sunny skies during this afternoon but in the morning once we get the sun up over the horizon it looks like it's going the start out pretty bright. 35 degrees in philadelphia right now, though. and below freezing in a lot of suburbs. we're actually in the upper 20's in allentown and reading and just 25 in millville. 31 in wilmington, 33 in trenton and 41 in cape may so you're going to want a coat as you step out the door, maybe a little extra gear. on the bus stop this morning 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. low to mid 30's, mostly clear, cold conditions but not all that windy to start out. and as we roll through the afternoon things do get a little bit better than they were yesterday. 45 degrees by 11 o'clock but we'll spen

five candidates being considered for sainthood. >> turning now to dave murphy, very rainy yesterday. what will it be like today? >> just a little drizzle out there right now. storm tracker6 live double scan, shows you there's no measurable or readable separation out there but that light fine drizzle always evades the radar and you're probably looking at some of that falling from the low clouds on your windshield this morning in a lot of neighborhoods. as we take a look outside or at least try to -- well, not too bad of a shot looking up through north philadelphia from temple university, looks like the flashing red light on the top of the dorm is working just fine. that's the good. and we are looking at that low lying cloud cover making things kind of damp with that drizzle falling but visibility not too bad from the top of about 19 stories up there. 46 degrees in philadelphia, 45 degrees in wilmington, 45 currently in trenton. notice how even the numbers are beneath the clouds we have winds a lot lighter this morning than we had yesterday and obviously not as wet. now, there are som

we've got earl williams meow six out there. we thought dave murphy liked his cat, right. this is near west conshohocken, a big pothole right off of the schuylkill expressway in west conshohocken so look for that. storm tracker6 live double scan showing us this is the rain that moved through. it was in the western suburbs went through the city. it's now kind of hugging the coastline so we're pushing it out of here but just dumped a lot of water on the roadway. you see areas of yellow and red. it's coming down pretty good still if you're on the white horse pike near hammonton near 206, speed well but we're drying out in some of the other areas. those whipping winds will help it dry out though. it's 52 degrees. seems mild but you got to bundle up. we'll be in the 40's this afternoon, tam. >> thank you karen. >>> philadelphia police are searching for the shooters who ambushed two men during a home invasion. this happened just before 9:00 last night in the 2400 block of north tenth street. both victims were shot in the leg. one man will recover, the second one remains in critical cond

another step forward today and end his trip with baseball. >> first let's check in with dave murphy and karen rogers. they've got accuweather and traffic. good morning. >> all right, we're starting out rather chilly this morning but we are going to be bright in a little while. you can see the lack of any significant cloud cover. out to the west there are a few additional clouds by pittsburgh and they'll start to filter in as the day goes on. 35 degrees heading out the door this morning in philadelphia. just 28 degrees in allentown, 29 in reading, 33 in trenton, 31 wilmington. down in millville 25 degrees. 41 a little bit better out on the point in cape may. as we take a look at the out the door forecast in your driveway and bus stop 33 degrees by 6:0 6:00. certainly cold enough for some extra gear. as 23 go into the afternoon we are going to see some improvement. 42 bees dry 10 o'clock. 48 by noon and then 56 by 3 o'clock with a high of 57 degrees at around 4 o'clock this afternoon. still holding onto the mid-50's by 5 o'clock. a few more clouds gather as the day goes on. partly sunny o

international airport. 5:14, 47 degrees right now. dave murphy says we're in for a nice day today but rain will come our way tomorrow. >> how are the good folks out there, the few of them enjoying the commute so far? >> you know, people are waking up, they're getting out on the roads and now is the time to do it because we don't have any problems. it's a little too early out there so you kind of have the road to yourself certainly if you're in fort washington, this is 309 at the pennsylvania turnpike and we can see no weather related problems impacting us coming from quakertown or montgomeryville. you're looking good right here on 309. no problems right here. we did have some construction and it just cleared on the turnpike between downingtown and 29. they were blocking a lane. so things are moving better there and the roving construction crew i warned you about has cleared here on the northeast extension southbound between lansdale and mid-county. we now have all lanes back opened. we're opening the waze app and saying good morning to eagles fans are the best. i love that. this i

attacks. >> first up let's find out how cold it or not cold it will be with dave murphy. it was cold yesterday david. >> temperatures have dipped this morning. we'll talk about that in a second. on the satellite map though we have very little cloud cover out there. it was there yesterday early in the day and then it really cleared out and we are looking at another pretty sunny day but as you can see here a lot of numbers are in the 30's now. 36 in wilmington, 33 trenton. just 29 fleas allentown and while we are holding 40 in philadelphia, over the next couple hours we'll probably dip down into at least the upper 30's so it is coat weather again this morning, little extra gear on the bus stop. temperatures on the bus stop probably between 34 and 36 between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock in a lot of neighborhoods. not as breezy today. the winds have fallen back. mainly clear skies but a cold start. we'll wind up milder later today. 47 degrees by 11 o'clock. 1 o'clock 53 with plenty of sunshine. by 3 o'clock 58 and we probably will briefly touch 60 this afternoon at about 4 o'clock before we s

today. dave murphy is off. karen rogers has your accuweather. matt pelman we know where you're going. you have traffic. good morning. >> you got that right. >> good morning. as you step outside it's so pretty out here right now. sunrise isn't for another 21 minutes but if you peek at the sky it's gorgeous. satellite6 and action radar showing the reason is that we have hardly a cloud in sight through our region. certainly we see the clouds well to the north up in new york and canada and now to the one of the but not in our region. we'll see beautiful sunshine, just a couple of high thin clouds. it's a nice day and of course the big story is the temperatures. 44 degrees already in philadelphia. 36 in allentown. 41 in trenton, 40 in millville, 41 in wilmington. i'm wearing a little bit of a light jacket and you might want to do that as well but you certainly will not need it later on. by 9:00 a.m. we're up to 59. by 11:00 a.m., 71 with mostly sunny skies. by 1 o'clock, you're well into the 70's so hopefully have your lunch outside if you can. by 3 o'clock, that's when we hit our high, 8

expect with your accuweather. dave murphy is outside, karen rogers has traffic inside. good morning. >> we're off to a chilly start this morning. i don't have gloves tucked into this fleece they give us. almost wish i had run back to the office and gotten them. it's a little bit chill to start out. we've got clear skies, though and there will be plenty of sunshine coming up over the horizon, some of those clouds you see out by pittsburgh down by washington some of that is liable to filter in as the day goes on. 35 degrees currently in philadelphia and a lot of spots down closer to or below the freezing mark. we're at 32 in trenton and wilmington. in the upper 20's in allentown, reading and lancaster and the mid-20's in millville. and as we roll through the day we are going to see some improvement in those temperatures. by 11 o'clock, we'll be at 45 degrees. by 1 o'clock, 51. we will transition to partly sunny skies during the afternoon but it will get a bit milder than yesterday. 56 degrees by 3 o'clock an high of 57 with less wind than what we saw yesterday. and a word to the wise

moment. first up let's check in with dave murphy and karen rogers who have the latest in traffic and weather. >> you can see on satellite we'll have plenty of sunshine early with a few clouds filtering through. later in clouds from the west. 35 degrees in philadelphia, 30 in allentown. some spots below freezing, some just below. wall want a jacket as you head outside this morning. mostly clear and cold, 33 degrees by 6 o'clock. probably still close to the freezing mark we'll go 34 at 8 o'clock this morning. not a lot of early wind but definitely coat weather. rolling into the afternoon though we are expecting some improvement. 38 degrees by 9 o'clock. by 11 o'clock, 45 and then we spend the afternoon in the 50's with a temperature of 56 by 3 o'clock and i expect a high today of 57 degrees and we'll probably hit that rather late in the afternoon, say, 57. breezes noticeable but not as much as yesterday. we are really shooting up with numbers tomorrow and then again on thursday, karen. nice temperatures on the seven day coming up and i'll have that for you in a couple minutes. >> all r

over to dave murphy. he's got a look at your accuweather and matt pelman is in for karen rogers. good morning. >> we're off to a clear but cool start you can seat lack of any significant cloud cover around the area so we're looking at plenty of sunshine not only this morning but throughout the day. it is cold, though. as projected we have slipped into the up are 30's in philadelphia. some spots like lancaster reading allentown and millville, new jersey, that have all slipped into the 20's this morning. 36 degrees in wilmington, 32 the freezing mark in trenton and below freezing at the airport in atlantic city. not as much wind out there as there was the last couple of days but it is cold. and we're expecting to stay between about 34 and 36 between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock on the bus stop and most neighborhoods mainly clear not as breezy but maybe a little extra gear on the kids, the kind that we used to use about three or four weeks ago. 40 degrees by 9 o'clock. 47 by 11:00. now we are going to get better this afternoon. by 3 o'clock we'll be at 58 degrees and we're expecting a high of

dave murphy and karen rogers for weather and traffic. >> we're certainly starting out cloudy and yes, there is some drizzle falling on the windshield on the way in. a lot of those windshield wipers on intermittent. there's a shower down to the south that might pull up into parts of the region late this morning on midday. temperatures are cool again. 46 degrees in philadelphia, 45 in allentown, 45 in wilmington and millville and trenton so very even numbers with those clouds around. breezes not quite as strong this morning, only about seven to 14 miles per hour overall today. cloudy skies on the bus stop this morning. drizzle is possible. maybe a shower but probably just the drizzle. 44 degrees pretty much holding steady between 6:00 and 8 o'clock and as we roll through the day 45 by 9 o'clock, 48 by 11 o'clock and then starting to get milder this afternoon. by 3 o'clock, we're up to 62. i expect a late afternoon high of 62 probably around 4 o'clock. and then 59 degrees by 6 o'clock and you'll notice that we are going to start to reintroduce at least a little bit of sunshine into

favorite weather condition. that would be the wind dave murphy. karen rogers has a look at traffic. >> a lot of that across the region. rain right now is about halfway through the area. philadelphia very close to seeing the and of the raindrops. south jersey it will only be probable another hour or maybe hour and a half before this gets over to the coast and pushes out but strong winds are beginning to build in behind this. and even though temperatures are mild we're already seeing those numbers drop a little bit. a half hour ago we were at 56 degrees in philadelphia. now down to 53. starting to get the 40's in the poconos and lancaster and we're actually looking at temperatures plunging as that cold wind comes in from the west-northwest this morning so don't be fooled by the mild air you're encountering right out the door currently. it is going to get a lot cooler, maybe even i was the way down into the 30's a little bit later this morning. 30 is your current wind gust in philadelphia. we now have a gust of 40 in reading and i think these higher gusts that you see out west are goi

. we'll go over to dave murphy and to karen rogers. good morning. >> we're starting out a lot more mild than we were the last couple of mornings. let's get a look on sat life. you can see how cloud cover has filled in a little bit so we're going start out a little on the cloudy tide side this morning but overall we expect some sunny breaks and it will probably wound up being more of a sun and clouds mix most of the day. 52 degrees on the thermometer. the temperature has gone up a little bit in the last half hour or so. allentown still in the 30's. that 37 represents a climb. you're starting to get a little bit better. as we go through the afternoon it gets a lot better. by 1 o'clock, 65 degrees. by 3 o'clock, 69. and we're actually going to get a high of 70 today but probab

going to be a great day to be out and about. let's found a out about that. dave murphy is off, karen rogers has accuweather, matt pelman is looking at traffic. good morning. >> it's nice to see temperatures like this. we would normally see temperatures hitting about 80 in june and here it is march and already that's what we're forecasting. it's a little cool in some of the suburbs starting you off. we dipped down to 37 degrees in allentown and fledge millvill37 inmillville. 53 in dover and 48 degrees right now in philadelphia. so, already temperatures above average. satellite6 and action radar showing we've got clear skies. we've got high pressure that's giving us nice conditions. just a few streaming high clouds and no big problems today with the weather as far as the sky conditions. bright sunshine few high clouds. how about record warmth. a high of 80 degrees under mostly sunny skies. temperatures about 30 degrees above average so you got to get outside enjoy this. today it's not going to last too long. details on all those changes in a few minutes matt. >> we don't want to rush t

franklin bridge there. nice looking shot. meteorologist dave murphy says we'll get up to about 57 today. >> let's turn to traffic and karen rogers. karen. >> good morning. looking at suburban traffic report. let's show you what these roads look like. still gusty winds this morning so you may see some debris flying around out there. but this is the blue route near the schuylkill and traffic here moving very nicely unlike yesterday morning with the rain we're looking good weather-wise at least dry conditions for you as you head out on the blue route. we do have some construction going on out there. county line road between park road and fairmount closed until april 8th. use horsham road as your alternate. that's new construction starting this week. same situation in northampton. willow road near bustleton pike is shut down until june. tanyard road is your alternate for that one. we have crews on the scene right now on the a.c. expressway eastbound between the parkway and route nine blocking two lanes. that's going to be out there for about another hour so watch for about -- until about 6:

weather and traffic. dave murphy is outside looking at accuweather. matt pelman is in for karen rogers good morning. >> i played sure i had the winter coat for this morning because we knew it was going to be colder. let's start you with satellite. we have a lack of any significant cloud cover out here so plenty of sunshine on the way and over in the east right now we're already seeing the skies getting a little bit bright. but the temperatures are colder than they've been in awhile. we're down to 39 in philadelphia. but a lot of spots like millville, allentown, reading and lancaster are actually down in the 20's. 26 degrees currently in allentown. and wilmington below freezing at 30. trenton is also fallen below freezing at 31. not much wind out here. the winds have fallen back as expected but it is cold and maybe you're digging some of that extra gear out of the closet where it's been sitting for a while. on the bus stop this morning between now and 8:00 in a lot of neighborhoods in the mid 30's, that's where you're going to be. and as we go through the day things do get better. 47 de

later this week. >> but you know keep your eye on the prize. dave murphy will say the word 70 to you in just a few minutes and karen rogers has your commute. good morning. >> yeah, later in the seven day things get betterment hey, right now rain-wise things are getting better. take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan and there's that rain as expected really pulling away from philadelphia and cape may and atlantic city also in the process of drying out f you're up in ocean county you're still looking at a heavy downpour but not for that much longer. we're still holding onto 52 degrees officially in philadelphia but look at how places like trenton allentown and reading have all slammed down into the 40's and we're all going to be headed down into the 40's a little bit later this morning. some spots could even get into the 30's before we turn things around slightly. also some strong gusty winds now coming in from the west and those will build as we go through the next hour or so. a 40 miles per hour gust right now in allentown, philadelphia a little breezy but still not seeing the

is on his way out. >> and guess who got a taste of being outside. karen rogers in for dave murphy matt pelman has traffic. >> i'm really enjoying the start of our sunrise. it's a beautiful start to the day right now. however we have a fair amount of clouds and a spotty sprinkle. kind of feels moist in the atmosphere. storm tracker6 live double scan showing how the showers have really fallen apart over the past few hours and maybe a few drops are coming down along 422. you saw that near reading but breaking apart as it's hitting pottstown right now and a drizzle drop or two near 322 in downingtown. that's about it.

and tam. >> thanks maribel. >>> dave murphy, what is going on in accuweather. >> looking like a great day for the arrival of march as we take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan we're dry. stepping outside a little cool to start out. some spots have dipped into the mid to up are 30's but you can see how tranquil it is and how much sunshine we've got in store coming up over the horizon over the commodore barry bridge between chester and south jersey. 39 degrees currently in philadelphia, 37 wilmington. again as you survey these numbers they look a little chilly but with winds running very light, in some cases calm, in other cases maybe wiffive to 7 miles an hour it'sa pretty sisi morning to take. cloud cover up by i80. looks like today will be sunny with maine maybe high clouds building n in the lehigh valley, pleasant with a high of 55 degrees. later in the day the winds pick up a little bit but not all that bad and not as blustery as yesterday. at the shore some clouds a-light breeze. 52 down by the water a little cooler there. in philadelphia not bad. a high of 58 degree

tracking a chance of showers for the next several days. >> let's find out more about that. dave murphy has latest in accuweather. karen rogers is taking a look at traffic. good morning. >> gosh everybody. and there's a little misty light fine drizzle here on the terrace. not enough for an umbrella. take a look at satellite. big issues is the low lying clouds, drizzle in some spots. you see the showers down to the south and west of us kind of falling apart. we may or may not pick up a little shower this morning and then after those get through, we have the chance of some sun returning later. for now it's cool, 46 degrees under the clouds, drizzle on the windshield and then your eyes if you're walking to the bus stop. 44 in reading. really even numbers across the region. as we roll through the day things improve. first of all the clouds and drizzle are going to break up a little bit later this morning. as we go later into the afternoon some sun returns. second thing we're going to get milder than yesterday. by 1 o'clock we're up to 54. by 3 o'clock 60 and i expect a high of 62 at roughly 4 o

way out. >> and guess who got a taste of being outside. karen rogers in for dave murphy matt pelman has traffic. >> i'm really enjoying the start of our sunrise. it's a beautiful start to the day right now. however we have a fair amount of clouds and a spotty sprinkle. kind of feels moist in the atmosphere. storm tracker6 live double scan showing how the showers have really fallen apart over the past few hours and maybe a few drops are coming down along 422. you saw that near reading but breaking apart as it's hitting pottstown right now and a drizzle drop or two near 322 in downingtown. that's about it. what you're seeing near doylestown isn't reaching ground. satellite6 showing lots of clouds. they're high clouds. still looks pretty. maybe a sprinkle passing through early on but then the rest of the day is dry and wow are these temperatures great. 48 degrees already in philadelphia t our average high is 50. we've almost hit that at 6:01. let's look at where the numbers are going. we'll be about 50 by 8:00 a.m., by 10:00 a.m., 62 with some high clouds and sunshine. by noon, much br

. that's okay, dave murphy, because i know spring is around the corner, all this stuff is moving out of here. karen rogers also has your roads. good morning. >> march is typically a very windy month and you can have storms coming through and rain, even some snow but we're actually beginning the day with -- or the month without any of that today. right now there's a little bit of cloud cover falling apart well to the north. we'll start out with some sunshine. temperatures aren't too bad. still at 40 trees in philadelphia. we have dipped into the mid 30's in allentown and 38 in wilmington. still below the freezing mark in millville and 42 up in trenton. winds aren't all that bad today, either. this morning they're in the single digits in most spots. so, clear skies, cool conditions this morning certainly. 39 by 6 o'clock and 40 by 8 o'clock with those numbers above average and this afternoon we have an above average day as well. 53 degrees by noon. fair amount of sunshine today. light winds and 58 degrees is your forecast high. we do have some rain arriving later tonight. that could exten
