road, right lane block, we have downed pole and wires in this area as well. traffic is being diverted around this area, as well. if you want to try it avoid it altogether your best alternate will be the new jersey turnpike, but again, lots going on here. it doesn't sound like it is slowing you down too much around that area before you are being diverted but it certainly will as we progress through the morning. so again, we had another accident, northeast extension, that's now since been cleared. that was southbound between lansdale and mid-county. again that accident just cleared. then we have construction, 95 north and south at route 420, left lane blocked in both directions. i'll have more on that coming up in a little bit. jim, over to you. >> boy, lots going on this morning on the roads, meisha, thank you. coming up: big news related to the recall of the samsung galaxy note seven. >> we'll tell you about the progress the company is making and replacing those devices in this morning's money watch report. stay with

but that said, we haven't had more than one day below average here in the month of september, so it is really going very, very mild month. but again, you're losing about two and a half minutes or so give or take of daylight every passing day. real wide zoom on storm scan, notice what's going on in new england, the frontal boundery we've been talking about for the last day or so. that's really bringing the bulk of the moisture to that part of the country but seeing the clouds begin to build across pennsylvania, and we are more than anything going to experience clouds out of that frontal passage, because the moisture kind of removed from it. once the front clears, the warmth gets wiped out. so what it lacks in moisture, will make up for on big drop in the thermometer. look ahead to eagles game day sunday. perfect football weather. you can layer up have, your eagles jersey on over a sweatshirt. sixty-seven at kick off time there, 4:25, see the game here on cbs-3. as the weekends progresses, we're going from flirting with 90 today, to the mid 70s where
