but first katie outside on the sky deck and meisha checking the roads. good morning, lady. >> happy new years eve, eve and roadways are looking good, katie but we can see that dense fog you have been talking about but roadways are looking pretty dry. can we hang on to that all morning. >> definitely through morning but we are not done just yet. is there another frontal boundary set to lift in and more wet weather on the way a at some point today but for now, it is all about the fog. right now we are having to deal with low lying cloud cover leading to poor visibility. here in philadelphia it is not too bad. we will start off with storm scan three though just radar sweep and nothing being picked up. so it is certainly a quiet beginning to the day, far cry from what we saw yesterday and it is always tough when we have satellite coverage thrown overtop to see fog showing up on that satellite but it is out there. we have a dense fog posted. essentially northwestern half of the delaware valley under that dense fog advisory that last us until ten. draw a line from chester, bucks county and across the

river there in to new jersey and mercer county and points northwest that is where you'll run into some poor visibility this morning. looking at area temperatures not terrible. we had a very light wind in the sky deck and every every where else. what you see is what you get. the it feels like 46 in millville, wildwood, and you get the idea there but you know it is enough that it warrants at least a jacket or a fleece if you are heading out this morning. we are calling for partly sunny day but eventually there will be some showers that build in for us especially for second half of the day in toward night fall. that is when we do start to see more wet weather returning from the forecast and we will also see some chill, return to the forecast, looking at area headlines still unsettled today but mainly later tonight a and then sun finally returns, and it will be an awfully chilly start to the new year. we will talk about how cold it will get coming up, meisha. i will take partly sunny today, because i missed it yesterday, i think you did too

and our drive was wet, not easy. today should be better but we are seeing that if you go right now. this is at the schuylkill eastbound. you can see plenty of headlights hitting those roadways, just entering 5:00 o'clock hour now and it will be like yesterday in terms of the volume levels but a lot of people heading out of town too for the new year. 422 westbound looking good, nice and quiet, looking dry here. we are talking about that fog though this morning. the just know that this is approaching route one. you can see a steady stream happening of what we see on a wednesday and day before new years eve. it looks like levels are looking light right now. we have an accident outside up are pottsgrove, at bennington road just make net of that for those in and around that area. we have some flooding in new castle, airport road between i-95 and mcarthur road, so a lot of things going on this morning. >> well, eagles nation has been demanding chip kelly's head for most of the season

and new fans they got what they wanted. owner jeffery lurie lowered the boom before kelly could finish his third season. we have jan carabao talking to fans about that move. but first "eyewitness sports" reporter pat galleys live at studios of our sister station 94 wip. lots to talk about today, good morning, pat. >> good morning, nicole. it came out of left field not so much the actual firing of the chip kelly but timing of it, a tuesday evening, just after 7:00 o'clock, and after three seasons as head coach, of the philadelphia eagles, chip kelly is out. it started so well with so much promise with ten wins in his first season, ten wins in his second season, although no playoffs but this year just completely fell a apart. they are six-nine and heading in the final a begins the giant which pat shurmur will coach the offensive coordinator but it is much deeper. there is talk chip lost locker room and that the guys stop playing for him especially given how the season ended.

owner jeffery lurie took notice at that. there was a meeting a a at some point after tuesday's practice and 7:12 p.m. chip kelly was released by the team. here is jeffery lurie's statement saying i have made a decision to release chip kill think evening, i spent last three seasons evaluating many factors involved in our performance as a team. as i watched this season unfold, i determined that it was time to make a change. a as we move forward the search for a new head coach will begin and will be led by myself, don smolenski and howie roseman. to the extent we're able we will try to keep you informed as we go through this process. eagles offensive lineman lane johnson joined 94 wip yesterday and he was shocked just like many of us. >> that is what happens when you don't go out there and play well, you know, players get fired and coaches get fired when something doesn't happen. it is partially the players to

blame. >> reporter: back live here at 94 wip with mark barseta from the morning show, good morning. >> what was your first reaction when you heard this. >> soon, it was very soon, faster then we anticipated. jeffery lurie has a reputation for holding on to a coach for that would extra year, give home an opportunity to correct his mistakes. this wasn't the case. credit unlurie-like move yesterday. >> i felt the same way too in that he is so calculated and takes so much information into account that he had been looking at the entire picture but something must have snapped pretty late into season saying i cannot go on any longer. >> it is almost as if something almost personal had to happen for this to happen so quickly because it is not his mo. but you look at this season with the acquisitions chip kelly had made as the team's tea facto gm i guess. the it had to happen now. what was basically happening was the franchise was being em

bar massed. you get blown out 90 games in two games, big money you spent in the off season wasn't paying off at all. it just had to happen. >> reporter: give me one word that sums up, chip kelly a's tenure. >> fast, his offense was fast and his tenure was fast. >> reporter: mark, make sure you listen to him with the the crew angelo's back in, it should be a fun morning. >> in rest for the weary. >> let's send to it jan carabao with more reaction from south philadelphia, jan? >> reporter: pat, vast majority of the eagles fans we spoke to this morning are not mad at all about the teams decision to part ways with coach chip kelly. they are down right happy bit. no doubt that will be the topic of conversation at melrose diner in south philadelphia a little bit later today. the little quite it this morning but it will be bus untiling no time. eagles nation doesn't hold back when it comes to sharing an opinion. when news that chip kelly was fired spread across the delaware valley last night

twitter was afire with twitter weighing n sports bars were a buzz too. now some fans did cut coach kelly a little slack for the eagles disappointing season saying coach can only do so much. he cannot catch balls or make sure team doesn't fumble but most fans are unfor giving and they have in problem saying see you later. >> philadelphia loves a winner and if you are not a winner, you have to go. he trade add way some quality players. i thought it was all nothing but a personality dispute. brought in a guy for millions and millions of dollars who was an absolute bust so it is time to make a change. >> i think it is about time. i think both eagles and chip kelly they need to separate and faux their own ways and eagles need a strong leader. >> why do you let a man go with one last game before the season? stick around, fire him after the game. maybe those two gentlemen had a talk, there is something there to it.

>> reporter: a lot of fans are wondering why the team didn't just let coach kelly finish out the season. there is only one game left but new fans, nicole, are looking forward to next season even though this season isn't even over or at least in the technically over just yet. nicole, back to you. you mentioned it in your report there twitter just erupting moments after the news broke about chip kelly's firing. in fact we heard from a former eagle will here's manual ac ho who says power tend to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. another one from the actor dave game an as, dingdong the chip is dead, gone, see you, eagles makes the best move of the season. hashtag, boom. that is a big ouch right there. brittany wrote prayer works, chip kelly needed to go and to finish things off one from bob, while we are making
