because woe may very well get a frigid one. the latest edition of the farmers almanac is out. forecast calls for an ice cold snow filled winter in the northeast. and it says the worse month is expected to be february. but before you stock up on north face, they claim 80% accuracy rate. but never published any evidence to back that claim up. so, we're saying it will be sunny? >> yes. >> i don't mind winter. >> really? >> i don't. i mean, i don't enjoy shovel snow. >> that's why you can pay somebody else. >> she is looking at me like devil eyes over here. go give me that look. >> and in addition to that snowy winter forecast, looks, at least according to the old farm ers almanac, a rainy spring, maybe rainy summer action as well, so could be very moisture laden year coming up.

about at it worse, probably about the time the worse of the storms start to rumble on through, too. come tomorrow still hot, could still feel close to 100 degrees, and at dover for example, but it is easing upment tomorrow is day of trans -- transition, flirting with 90, as opposed to hitting it, mainly dry with the front clearing on out of here. as it does so, the humidity continues to drop. by specially friday, looking so, so much more comfortable, meisha, over to you. >> katie, thank you so much. good morning, everyone, happy tuesday. the vine was open last night, no over night construction, you can see, both moving in the westbound and eastbound side. looking good, fairly typical, for an early tuesday morning, this is where we do have some construction still lingering out there, overnight construction, near gulph road, one lane block, construction route one, route one, near wissahickon, just a while ago, i would say ten minute ago, seeing drivers drive by here, a lot of brake lights going off, right now looks little more calm. make note they're out there, crews are out there, and it

was causing a little bit of slow-downs for you. downed wires here in new jersey, route 70 in both directions at ridgway road, all lanes are blocked, lucky to use an alternate, lakewood road, garden state parkway, probably your best bet, stay on the garden state parkway, know this is out there, all lanes block, this won't cause too many slow downs, but it certainly could as we progress even in the early 5:00 hour. construction schuylkill westbound at vine westbound off-ramps to 30th street, closed tonight from eight p.m. to 5:00 a.m. make note of that. more construction coming up for in you a little bit. you guys, back over to you. >> thank you, meisha a audi is trying to make waiting at the red light little less stressful to drivers. about the new technology the auto maker is introducing. >> plus we heard from health groups, sitting around too much can be bad for your health. this morning, new warning from the american heart as oath agents. we'll show you the two consequences the group is now warning about. stay with us.

great lakesment that's the core of the storm expect to go bypass totally off to the north. but cold front it drags through what will produce potential for locally strong if not severe thunderstorms. so we do actually sit in slight risk for the severe weather, basically across the northern two thirds of our area, downpours, gusty winds, frequent lightning, the primary concerns, marginal risk the further south you travel. so today will be one of those days. i would say take the umbrella one. even though any activity would be primarily confined to the afternoon and evening and scattered in nature, you can get drenched the the high in the meantime, 93 degrees, it is steamy out there, obviously, meisha, a with the humidity made to feel like 108 later on. >> oh, man. so nice to get a break. wet wednesday, thursday? >> better weather on the way, i promise. >> all right. thank you so much. good morning, everyone, happy tuesday. looking at some construction outside, most every which is starting to clear, this is overnight construction route one near wissahickon. looking pretty good. maybe some crews, maybe few
