out. disturbance that's developing into full blown area of low pressure, well to the south, and it is helping to funnel in some clouds, helping to bring in some more moisture from the open waters of the atlantic, which therefore, helps bring in some cloud cover, and maybe even little bit after fine drizzle. now the winds speeds not so much an issue. look more at the direction of these arrows, guys, with that more northeasterly breeze across the northwestern suburbs there, you're going to be able to keep that cloud cover or at least keep it away. so nice clear sky to start the day off for you there. but down the shore, for example, in, say, wildwood, cape may area, you have got that very persistent on shore flow. so start the day off and probably keep it around all day, with cloud cover. meanwhile, we take a look at the live neighborhood network, couple of choice locations, blue bell checking in at little bit of chilly 59 degrees this morning, temperatures change right before your very eyes, live observations cents, but what you are seeing is what you are getting here, pretty comfortable overall but feeling like fall. later today, shooting for 79

in philadelphia. just shy of 80 for many of us, but there will be more clouds than anything, and the further northwest you go, the nor sunshine you will be able to find. jess, we send it into you. >> thank you, katie. good morning, everyone, all you had to say is feeling like fall. i'm in a good mood there. 50:00, a we have relatively easy morning so far. we start out on our cameras here on the vine st. expressway, where you can see, actually not even one car on the roadway now. actually to the left-hand side, if there were some taillights coming on, in they would be headed toward the schuylkill moving along great, eastbound pretty much the same story going toward 95. elsewhere on the ben franklin bridge, currently no problems, really if you are headed into jersey or headed into philly westbound, but do take note of this little bit later on today there is will really stack you up. two right lanes still in some construction from the jersey side headed on over westbound into the city. so you will face some of that just little bit later on today. everything else looking great on 95 and the schuylkill, if you are headed southbound about 13 minutes and 15 minutes, on the schuylkill expressway. erika, ukee, back over to you. >> jess, thank you.

and i think just matter of time before we did it. obviously we like to start faster. nobody quit. nobody for one second doubted we would win this game. i think it goes to show the kind of character we have in the lockerroom. the type of environment chip has built around us. so everybody was all positive, all game. >> we like. that will after the first half plenty of diehard fans who stuck it out to see it all turned around. "eyewitness news" sports "eyewitness news" reporter, that is, steve patterson, was there at lincoln financial field to join the post game celebration. >> e-a-g-l-e-s! by the ends, all that matters, familiar chants, lofty declarations, from happy fans (we're going to the superbowl! >> but most fans will tell you they watched two very different halves of football. in first, well -- >> first half we looked sloppy. by half time i was crying. i was crying. it really hurt. >> um, it was little bit like pick up the pace.

this is one of the stories where half of you see one forecast, half of you see something totally different. and the further southeast you are, the more clouds you are going to find, perhaps, little bit of drizzle here or we've already even seen couple of showers along the way, actually part of larger system. go out, zoom it out one more time for you here. storm system actually just starting to gather some strength. it is going to generally stay to our south. but will help fuel, you know, couple of showers by tomorrow, certainly the clouds that we're going to find out there today. meanwhile, what it does help with is the pollen, pollen continues to drop off the next couple every days, still somewhat at medium to medium high range, ragweed, grasses, chenopod, still the issues, by tomorrow and wednesday the levels get knocked back with the clouds with the rain that's coming on, in help limit the amount of issues allergy sufferers might have to deal with. so i like the way this is worded. more clouds than anything. get some sun, but it will be at little bit of premium, especially go southeast of philadelphia, couple of showers around later tonight. not wash out. i would actually say by tomorrow, umbrella wouldn't be

the worse idea, again, area of low pressure nearby, so it will help bring in few showers, we get break wednesday, heat up thursday, in advance of the next cold front. jessica? >> thank you, good morning, just 5:15. and stings starting to pick up just little bit so far this morning. going outside to our cameras here, on 95, just around betsy ross, so you can see most of the headlights actually coming in southbound, headed toward center city, that's where most of the volume will start to accumulate. later on as rush hour begins to get underway later this morning, but right now looking like good drive. otherwise on the schuylkill expressway just at the boulevard, pretty much the same story there. so headed westbound, toward king of prussia, smooth drive. eastbound, toward the city, moving along nicely there from the taillights, as well. otherwise, some travel times here. everything still pretty clear. 202 from route 30 into the schuylkill headed northbound, clear, about 12 minute trip. on the blue route 95 into the schuylkill expressway headed northbound clear there as well just about 18 minute trip. elsewhere in new jersey, right
