the traffic, i'll have all of the updates coming up, and they're all changing as i speak. so it will be an interesting morning, kyla. >> if you made it to work today, you have got my respect. it was not easy. and i live right by the parkway, so little jog this morning. okay, so let's talk about what is happening. we going to see the weather change pretty drastically today. we'll see clouds, breezy conditions make their way n i'll break down the papal event forecast, and talk about the coastal low that is tracking up the coast. live look at it right now, you can see, that's where it is located off the carolina coast heading toward us. what that means if you're at the shore, gusty wind to up 30 miles per hour, beach errosion, rough surf even possible coastal flooding. you will get the worse of it, for those of us here in philadelphia, breezy conditions saturday, much cooler high of 74, and rain chance on sunday, with a high of 72 degrees. so let's talk about the weather today. you will see little sun peaking out this morning, but will give way to clouds. see the temperatures staying little cooler. i say comfy commute there at

9:00 a.m. i can't promise you on the traffic, folks, but we will tell you that the weather will be just fine. take a look at future weather. as you can see, low starts churning up little closer to us, there is saturday, 3:00 p.m., cloudy skies, rain to the south, but it is a concern on sunday that we could see touch of that coming our way. and again, it is not really showing up on the models just to show you that it is to go egg back and forth about what's going to happen with this. so i'll track this forward for you in the seven day forecast, talk a little built more about it, i wish we had better one, i wish people didn't have to wore bit cool air, possibly rain, but i think being prepared is probably the way to go. >> you're right. just be prepared. we're in the fall now. we know weather em. >> can make a play in all of. >> this let's just, you know, just get right into it, shall we? here is a lock at the ben franklin bridge, beautiful view. i can tell this closes down tonight, at 10:00 p.m. yes, you can, it is going to be walkable, pedestrians are able to cross, but at 10:00 p.m. the ben franklin bridge will be closed, also here is a live look outside of

the schuylkill at spring garden leading from the schuylkill to the parkway. you can see this is just example of the type of closures you'll be seeing with the barricade across the road, a loft crews outside, there will be police officers block ago lot of the entrances, on ramps, all of that. so overall i think a note from me will be avoid center city if you k there will be detours, and road closures, the ramps on the vine are closed, from today until monday. also, here is a look at the vine eastbound, closed on the ramp to the ben franklin parkway, again, this is just a good indicator whatever things will looking like, update throughout the morning, and plenty more to come. nicole, erika, back to you. >> as america a mentioned, road closures for the pope's advice rid in effect in part of center city, hours earlier than of us expected. >> caught me by surprise. justin finch on the move getting a feel for what it will be like for morning commuters. justin, not easy one? >> erika, nicole, good morning, we're right on buttonwood and broad. we head south on broad. show you what we've seen all morning here, which is hard to see at first, roads look

how far we can get, which as you can see, just not very. the vine east is open but as you can see here, you have to plan your routes here, the way things are going, it is kind of touch and g you may go certain route, the road might be open or it may not be open. but i would say today if you don't really have to go into center city, it may be smart to avoid t there are no cars here now, we're already seeing closures, imagine, when we have cars come out here, more people come out here, what casino of hiccups you might encounter. stay with cbs-3, consult your apps, plan your route accordingly, even on the buses, i also wonder how those are tied up. so, many questions this morning, working on getting you answers, live, justin finch, cbs-3, "eyewitness news". >> justin, pack your patients. >> no kidding. such a mess out there, thanks. >> meanwhile the medical community getting ready for the seconded surge of people. they set up first aid and medical tent across the city, 13 total tent, the one you see on your screen by the alter is

difference, you know, one of the reasons we really had ryan in here. >> there you go. thursday night football, right here on cbs-3, that's eli manning going for beckham, and 30-yard touchdown, popular player in fantasy this year, the giants first win of the season, beat the redskins 32 to 21, talking baseball now, phillies play the nationals tonight in washington, and last night, new phillie pitcher alec asher put himself in the conversation for next season n south philadelphia. asher came over and nicole hamels trade. coming into last night's game against the marlins, his era was over nine, but last night he went seven innings, struck out four, allowed only one run. now the bad news? the run wasn't enough to beat the struggling phils. phils lose it one to nothing. >> 4:46. >> still ahead on "eyewitness news", roads in philadelphia shutdown hours ahead of schedule, causing big headache for drivers. life look at the roads this morning, we are following the latest all morning long on the road closures, that's in our
