standing out at market street, with the parade route, so we have got again partly sunny skies for the next couple hours and rest of the day, low to mid 50's at best on the thermometer but with that breeze even though it is not coming out of the north it is still a chilly breeze and it will make it feel cooler, so hopefully everybody is bundled up down there with their sweat shirts and fleeces in navy and white of course. looking forward. you thought today was chilly, check out the saturday and sunday in the 40's. again another dose of winter on the way, and this time around, it comes as a price of some snowfall as well which we will have much more detail on as the show progresses. guys, back inside to you. >> we will see you shortly. thanks much. as you can imagine parade of champions will be affecting traffic and mass transit. >> that is why we have meisha john on standing by with what you can expect, hi there meisha. >> hi nicole and ukee. what i'm's concerned about is mass transit. obviously it will be very, very busy. i will show you center city 23rd and market. as you can see that vehicle

unpaved surface accumulation tomorrow. further north, maybe a meager coating here in philadelphia. if that but it is scattered rain a snow showers, i think especially further south you go, union have a a match here tonight. stays dry for that. it will be chilly a at river rink where we have that wind out of the west at ten to 15 miles an hour. but dry, lower in temperature at kick off is 48. overnight low is 35 into early tomorrow morning but watch for the rain and snow to mix in. it is coldest day of our forecast. we have had headed forward to sunday still sunshine here but it is still chilly as well and then the phillies season home opener happening on monday. we should rebound to seasonal territory by that point but we are watching for potential of some showers on that day as well. i will keep you posted don't you worry but that is an important game day forecast, just to let you know. >> thanks, katie. >> we are moments away from our first championship parade since 2008. we have live crews staged all along market street, for live continuing coverage starting a at 1:00 o'clock and less than
