5:15 am
you look at storm scan, today, as well, zip around little bit here, we zoom it out once, twice, see that we're not alone here. it is east of the mississippi, nothing but nice clear smooth sailing ride here for today, high pressure once again in place. there is cold front that comes along, come wednesday, but because we have had clear sky overhead now, through the overnight, allowed the temperatures drop off rod more readily. here and now, 23 degrees deficit from the same time yesterday up in mount pocono, not as harsh in allentown or philly but into the teens in a lot of spots, in terms of how much colder it is by comparison. so, if you went out the door early yesterday morning, maybe going to sun belonger mans, brunn every there is morning it is colder than it was yesterday. so, up in mount pocono, we expect this morning, around the freezing mark many locations, trenton, 37, at the a.c. airport, 36. you get the idea, chilly beginning to the day obviously, cool, crisp finish to the afternoon, sunshine, very modest wind, probably don't even in the. nice fall day. but it does stay chilly
5:16 am
tonight, of course turn the clock backs, sun going down before 5:00 in the evening. for some people that's some bad news, for those every us who have to wake up at 2:45, okay, cool, it is dark, i can feel okay going to bed this early. but regardless looking forward in the forecast again evan flow in the forecast coming up here. you have some 506's, 50's, even 40 degrees reading here. tuesday for election day, meisha, looks awesome, bright, sunny, miler, too. >> all right, katie, thank you. that extra hour, you nailed it. it is like a little gift to all of us. good morning, everyone, happen mine day. so looking outside right now, close eye on the roadways right now, we know that septa a working toward tentative verbal agreement. so far they got that. see what happens when we progress through the morning, right now the roadways are actually looking good. however, certainly starting to heat up. schuylkill, taillights moving in the eastbound direction, this is approaching gulph mills. see how much really actually starts to heat up little bit here. westbound on the schuylkill, actually looking okay. really the eastbound side, i am a keeping my eye out. take a look at jersey 42
5:17 am
northbound creek road take that 295, sea of headlights, heating up there, as well. southbound direction mcdade boulevard, you can see actually, looking okay. but, as you can see, plenty of headlight out, there as well, on the blue route. so, just a reminder, that right now, as of right now, it is still stands, regional rails is the only septa service running into the city and around the state. so regional rails norristown high-speed line, so the same as last week. also, over here, septa is still advising that we use alternate means of transportation. so such as tax ill, uber, lyft, zipcar, expect delays, bike or walk. well ' let you know if anything changes. this is as it stands right now. allow for extra time, actually we go to breaking news, jim, rahel, back over to you. >> meisha, a we now want to take you live to a press conference for details on the tentative agreement to ends the septa strike. >> let's listen.
5:18 am
>> give a test here? that's good. >> okay, at this point what you're seeing n left side of your screen, is the septa chairman, on the right side, that's twu president, willie brown. of course we've been following this news for about a week now, we know tens of thousands of people waking up every morning, without septa services, so at this point it appears that we may have reached attentive deal. so that's with a we're listening for right now. >> let's hear the good news. >> jim, we know of course, of course following some of the
5:19 am
issues of the two sides, did not agree, there were pensions, healthcare, rest periods between shifts, things like, that obviously, hundreds every thousands of commuters across our area were affected and the big concern was how this would affect election day tomorrow. >> that's right. yes, the last septa strike was what 2009, that lasted six days, the septa strike before that, i think, 40 days so all hoping of course it wouldn't last a week, which it has, but of course our attention really turning today tomorrow the election, concern about voter turn out, tan couldn't get to and from work on time, would they be able to get to the polls. >> and septa trying to get an injunction to force the workers back to work in time for the strike. that a judge turned down that injunction the other day, so supposed to hear more about that later today. fortunately, i guess we don't have to go that far, because right now, as tran dough broke the news earlier this morning, tentative deal reached and the septa strike full services
5:20 am
right now hopefully going to resume in several hours, and we are just waiting to hear from septa board chairman, pasquale dion, cwu local 234 president willie brown. >> and jim of course, you know, still waiting to hear exactly what they're going to say, but at least from appearances, certainly appears that they're in much better spirits, you have both septa and the union president smiling, which we haven't seen since they started. >> same side of the table i should add. >> exactly. >> so meisha had mentioned earlier, you know, there are some service could be up as quickly as four to six hours, if this deal is reached. and they sign everything full service will be up in about 16 hours. but we didn't get the details right now here. >> so that would hopefully put into us tuesday, but hopefully, just in time for the election. >> interesting thing was everyone said most people don't take septa to get to the polls. but it was the delays that people were having getting to work and then also returning home they felt people probably
5:21 am
wouldn't take the additional time in their busy travel day and work day to then head out to the polls. that was the big concern. >> absolutely. we heard meisha every morning sort of reporting about maybe expecting twice as long after commute, if your commute is normally an hour, expect this to take two hours, so the concern is if it is taking you twice and long to get to and from work, one, are you going to be home before the polls close, and, two, are you going to feel like going to the polls after you've been through a traffic nightmare. >> and there was a lot of pressure to get this moving. nancy cord is, one of our national correspondents for cbs, was mentioning yesterday morning, with the john dickerson folks, that you know there was concern that this would impact the pennsylvania vote, and obvious lip, that's very important to both sides in tomorrow's election, so the pressure to get a deal was put on these gentlemen, and their respective groups. but again, both on the same side of the table, where septa board chairman, pasquale dion senior, and cwu local 234
5:22 am
president willie brown. i don't think they realize that all of us sitting here at home, in the studio, come on, give us the news. >> bated breath, waiting for a week, jim, you know, i told you last tuesday, i believe, the first day of the septa strike, as a high school student i would have to take a trolley to 30th street, an el to 69th street, then the 101 or 102 toll toy drexel hill. and so, you know, we don't realize sometimes how many people rely on septa. but i can personally a test to if i didn't have septa in high school my par hadn't to work, i don't know how i would have gotten -- >> that's the thing, thousand of school student were expected, archdioces, private schools were getting shuttle buses and things like that, kids were allowed to be excused from school, but again, dealing with day care, things like. that will soap, they've got smiles on their faces so i don't think they'll put a fast one here, hopefully they'll cool through with what trang do had broken earlier on twitter today. that attentive deal has been
5:23 am
reached to ends the septa strike, full service, to resume, hopefully in the next few hours. >> absolutely. and jim, as you mentioned, nancy cordis smoking about the national attention on the septa strike. we've been speaking for months about the impact, the the implications, and the presidential race for philadelphia, and the suburbs, how much that was important to the national races. so this septa strike was of critical importance to a lot of people. because, you know, depending on what happens, a lot of these battleground states it, could really swing one the presidential election but, two, what happens in the u.s. senate. >> let's list never. i think they're getting a 22nd warning here to start speaking. maybe not. >> well, jim? >> maybe waiting for the coffee to be brought in? >> maybe brink in some waffles. tell you what, after a week of septa consumers and passengers being very upset, which we had seen, you know, al of our

5:24 am
newscasts. so we were hoping that they would start talking. but, jim, you know how this stuff is. we have answer been out in the field, takes sometime a while to get it going. looks like they maybe be doing audio checks, maybe balances, so we will continue to follow this story, our trang do broke the story early this morning, we will continue to follow this news conference, hopefully attentive deal hopefully a deal and we will bring you the details as soon as we have katie: my mom was a restaurant hostess at a neighborhood favorite - a place for a good, family meal. she juggled customers, cooks, waitresses - and never complained. my dad was a police officer walking his beat. i learned from both what it means to be honest, to work hard, and love family. big banks, wall street, special interests - that's who pat toomey's with. in the senate, i'll work for you and your family. i'm katie mcginty, and i approve this message.
5:25 am
5:26 am
5:27 am
>> pat's here with sports, and a disappointing game in the meadowlands. you know, i've got that suit, me eagles suit waiting it wear. >> they're trying to tell you not to wear that suit. >> i don't know. >> maybe? eagles and giants, wild games over the years, and many of them in north jersey. yesterday, it looks like we may see fourth miracle at the meadowlands. but it was not to be. carson wentz looking to get the eagles back on track after last week's lost, dallas, took little while. two of his first three throws
5:28 am
were intercepted. and the giants turned both into touchdowns. by half time 21-ten giants, eagles did gut condition 21-17 on this barner touchdown run. new york up 28-23 in the fourth. and jordan hicks with a beautiful interception of eli manning in giants territory, that set up final opportunity for the birds. but, they fall short. they not capitalize, on great field position. the eagles lose 28-23, they went from the possibility of first place last week, and they won, last place. right now, in the ffc east, but they won't pack it in. if we don't start the ballgame, the way we do, it is different. it is totally different. and i'm going to continue to show confidence in our guys, believe in our guys. >> i know we still have high expectations, that's the mindset we have in the lockerroom, the culture in the guys we have. so, you know, tough all four of these losses, been right in them. good football team. just have to find a way to win
5:29 am
games. >> falcons await them next. steel verse lost three straight games, even more embarrassment for them yesterday in baltimore. this is steelers picker chris boss well, we show you right here, attempting the on sidekick. it doesn't go anywhere. and then draws back, kicks it again, which is illegal, penalty, the ravens would win the game, 21 to 14, again right here, he tries little, i don't know that is, little dance move? pittsburgh in baltimore, now tie for first place, in the afc north. i thought that that looked a little ya. did i little digging this is where i've seen it, right here, take a look. >> ya. >> or bad dance move. >> why are you looking at me? >> he can't dance, what he looks like. >> can't play football either. thanks so much. >> you got t coming up in the next half hour of "eyewitness news", more on the breaking news, tentative agreement to
