thankfully not. but go up toward the poconos, mount pocono, west northwest wind still cranking at 20 miles per hour, feels like it is sub zero right now. twenty-three the current temperature at the airport. that's harsh enough, even with the more modest westerly wind flow, it really does feel quite harsh outside. so here's where we currently stand. guys the values i want you to go by, walking out the door, so plan to bundle up, so it is into the single digits, or into the teens at best, that's what it feels like, and this can be much better any time the wind blows in winter right? looking ahead to the rest of the day, not bad. i think you'll see more sunshine through the daylight hours, the clouds are eventually going to be building back in, since we do have little disturbance that's going to cross through. meisha, that might even lead to couple of snowflakes up in the mountains, but generally speaking quiet pattern that is unfolding for our region. and i can actually report little warming trends that waits in the wings, too, let you know when that gets here little later. >> katie, that sound great. i don't if he about you, but

alternate around this. york road, or route 309, going to be your best bet. and sounds like there is a pretty nasty fuel spill around this area, as women. so i would say avoid the area altogether. you certainly want to do so. if you can't, you have to go out there, still traveling around, somewhere around posted speeds around this area. you just will have to use your alternates back up there. tree branches blocking part of the road, stum road at steeple chase drive. one lane still blocked there, rahel, jim, back to you. >> meisha, thank you. breaking news, police put stop to brutal home invasion in southwest philadelphia. and arrest three suspectment trang do live near the scene at 66 street and greenway. >> good morning, what's the latest? >> remain on scene collecting evidence inside this home, take a look, this is it here. on the corner of 56 and greenway. at this point applies did not know why they were targeted. one just returned home from overseas trip, but investigators are looking into whether any of these throw men

>> investigators are also looking into whether the suspect are involved in number of armed robberies of asian-owned businesses in southwest and west philadelphia. but lieutenant walker tells me that these two women were retired, and did not own any type of businesses. but for now live in southwest philadelphia, i'm trang do, cbs-3, "eyewitness news," jim, rahel, back to you. >> interesting detail there, trang, all right, thank you. >> well the time now 5:37. in business news this morning, what is coming to an iphone near you. >> and mcdonald's is coming to manhattan, but with a new lookment money watch's jill wagner joins us from the stock exchange, good morning, jill. >> reporter: good morning, jim, rahel. the trump rally continues on wall street. futures pointing to higher open. the dow jumped 118-point yesterday. the nasdaq rose 32, new record high. president trump says tax reform is coming, mr. trump promised to quote phenominal tax plans to be announced in the next two, three weeks. he didn't give know details, the white house says it will

will cut way back on performances she said she is open to some quote select things. we have to see what those select things are. and we are now just two days away from the grammy awards, and that airs right here on cbs-3 and the stage is set inside the staples center, front row, where lady gaga, bruno mars, and adele, what a line-up. will be performing and sitting sunday night outside the la arena. late late show's james corden rolls out the red carpet. as this year's new host of the grammy awards, says, he's nervous and just wants to do his best. >> it will be fun, if it all goes well. if it doesn't, it will just be me crying my eyes out. >> and the presenters and performers will get gift bags with a price tag of you know just $30,000. >> hello? >> at the include beauty products, electronics, even vacation, but the gift are not completely free. the stars do have to pay taxes on them, and we've been talking about maybe getting

something through for our loyal viewers, maybe getting them some prizes? >> special -- $30,000? >> somehow i don't think our prizes will be able to compete with them. >> well, by the way, rahel, i had a chance to speak with the executive producer of the grammy awards, we spoke about what he is looking forward to seeing this year. >> i really love working with the artists, and for the most part, maybe almost universally, they are really involved, engaged, grammys seem to be something special for them. so we would like to think that they try harder, and they go farther. so the fun of it for me, because i love music, as much as i do, basically working with them, developing ideas, coming up with things that maybe people haven't seen before, because obviously these artists are seen on other shows. so it is about making a special and on uke for the gram us. >> one of the things i'm really looking forward to, james cord on will host for the very first time. looking forward to that?

>> very much so. james is terrific. you know, he loves music. he's got great musical background, he won a tony, posted it to tony, carpool karaoke has become one of the most popular segment ever on the internet. and, you know, he gets it. he knows that his job here is to casino every take us through the show, but it is not his show. it is not the james cords on show. it is not the late late show with james cord on, but on the other hand, it is his personality that will drive t so we're real excited about having him as the host this year. >> and of course, you can see the 59th annual grammy awards this sunday night, at 8:00 right here on cbs-3. >> ken's been producing the show since the 80s. >> oh, wow. >> got graying background. >> absolutely. >> sounds like a good show. >> it will be cold but stay inside. >> you'll want to snuggle up with a blanket and cup of cocoa to enjoy the grammys. who are we kidding? we will totally have to dvr

this, always in bed at this time, but it will be fantastic show. we will all be watching it i think the next morning, but regardless, we've got certainly a show to talk about out there this morning. we start thing off here with a view on storm scan3, and we do have nice clearing sky for you at the moment. and we're going to continue to see some sun always initially across the delaware valley. but with time the clouds will start to build. and as they do start to build, we are actually getting milder air working its way in, that will be helpful. meanwhile we take one more zoom for you. we'll get to that zoom in a second. checking with eyewitness weather watch ers, currently upper teens, low 20's, more after list format, sometimes little easier to sort of consume the information here. but low 20's essentially what we're finding, there are again some colder outlying places into the teens, but basically the story, not better than. >> this barbara at 20 at willow grove, and as well as

chesterfield, and 22 in cherry hill. sending these in, what's left of this, looks like couple of bird went across the field here looking closely, few footprint on the car windshield. yes, pretty much all that had been left behind from yesterday's storm system. let's go back again, want to take to you that map one more time. we zoom it out. there you go. trigger button didn't go quickly enough last time. do have little hint every snow working it way through the great lakesment some of this is actually going to start just past the poconos, could ends up bringing quick snow shower later to that air. that would be it. otherwise generally in the clear, until we get to sunday. but meantime, do keep in mind that this is obviously a very frigid morning. so anything that's left behind from yesterday it is frozen solid at this point. some instances if it is a little pile of snow, it is like a chunk of ice, at this point. wind though from yesterday, real did i help dry out the roads. so if it was treated and certainly major roadway, all of the traffic had been passing through, it is very likely pretty good.

obviously going to have much more on that. here is the warming trend i promise you. flirt with or actually hit 50 degrees over the weekend. watch for some rain showers sunday. may be bit of sleet that mixes in in the poconos. generally just rain showers. then modest cooling trends as we look ahead to monday. and valentine day on tuesday, for now, looks like it will be a sunny forecast, meisha? >> yes, sure looks that way. all right, katie, thank you so much. yes, we are seeing some slick roadways this morning, as kate had i pointed out. first pull your attention to this accident. it is the ramp from the westbound vine to westbound skunk, the ramp blocked right there. as you drive past this, really just gettingly gaper delay. really the backups that we are sorting build here as you jump on to the vine moving in the westbound direction. so heads up on that. back upstart to go form, getting little slow. but right when you pass where the accident is, it is no problem whatsoever. so again, vine westbound, jump out there, you will be traveling very slow there. and we have another accident here, that just popped up. lafayette hill, ridge pike, at

church reached still traveling posted speeds in that area. again, we're seeing a lot of accident around this area. really starting to slow a lot of people down. we have serious accident happened last night, warrington by the way overturned tanker truck with injuries, easton road, 61; between brit toll road and street road. you will have to use an alternate, york road or 309 is your best bet. by the way there is pretty big fuel spill around this. so, i would just caution, avoid the area if at all possible, but if you cannot avoid the area, you will have to use these alternates, and probably start to slow down around this area little bit, as well. plus, tree branches blocking stump road steeple chase drive, one southbound lane is still block here. plus we have a loft construction to talk about coming up in a little bit. jim, rahel, back over to you. >> thank you shall meisha. next month, cbs drama blue blood, will reach major television milestone. 150 episodes. >> "eyewitness news" reporter jan carabeo on the set, actually just this past wednesday, sat with the cast

about success, hey, jan? >> a the of fun, seven seasons, what a milestone. not too shabby. we went behind the scenes in brooklyn this week, as the cast filmed it its famous family dinner for episode 150. during breaks they took time to reflect on what the audience coming back week after week. >> our show still growing. in the seventh year, just real blessing. >> since 2,010, blue blood is called the reagan family fight crime in new york city and also fight with each other across the dinner table. >> the truth is -- >> the cast credits much of the show's success, good chargers, and attention to authenticity. proven, they say, when they get the seal of approval from real life nypd. >> the cop inside goes blue blood. so ya, it is a big deal. >> when i see a police officer in the street, they'll say good job. >> so how will blue blood top itself after that 150 episode milestone?

>> made it it to 275. do you think you got that many in you? >> my friend, 235 episodes? wow. >> finds out if celek thinks blue blood can last that long, and we will talk philly food, who with famous family owns walt burger's in northern lib earth, and what's on the menu. that and more tonight on "eyewitness news" at 11:00. whole lot of fun, you guys. >> i will say my dad is a retired police officer, and nypd 30 years, and he does enjoy the show. he said it is pretty accurate as far as descriptions. >> oh, you don't hear that a lot. okay. >> yes, and he's critical. you think i'm critical? my dad even worse. >> actors make sure to make sure it is authentic. >> again, catch blue blood tonight and every friday night at 10:00 right here on cbs-3 followed of course by "eyewitness news" at 11:00. and that 150 episode airs friday march 31. well, we're used to tiger on the golf course. but one florida man had an end

count war different kind of animal. >> yes, different. hear from the golf here was forced to tee-off on a gate wh

♪ >> welcome back, 5:54. golfer nursing a foot injury but it could have been worse. >> see his opponent on the

course was 10-foot alligator. tony, keeping that foot elevated as he recovers from getting stitches he was walking by a water hazard during a round at a course in florida. the gator lept from the pond and went after him, his only weapon was his putter. >> in the water, up to my waist, i started to hit him over the head. he look like he was looking right at me. i started hitting him right in hits eye socket. i hit help three times before he let go of my foot. >> tony recommend golfers keep their cubs close by when golfing in florida told animal crews tracked the al gator after the attack and it has been removed from the course. they move fast. >> i bet they do. >> i've only been to florida on vacation, but al of these florida stories and stories, leads to you believe geathers are just running wilds in florida. >> they're in the malls, parking lots, shopping malls. well, coming up in the next hour of cbs-3 "eyewitness

news," get a load of this. this giant dog -- in our studios. ryan is great dane from our area. and get this, he's competing to be in the westminster dog show. see if pat gallen can handle him in the ring. >> pat told me yesterday that he is 163 pounds, so pat and orion are probably the same weight. >> president trump takes to twitter and fires back against the federal court rules against his travel ban. how he plans to eventually win this case next.

>> tied up and terrorized, two elderly women target in the violent home invasion, we're live with how police came to their rescue, while it was happening. and developing overnight, we have new information about the tanker truck that overturned spilling thousands of gallons of fuel, what it means for resident living in that area. >> me personally, i don't like the werth, i'm standing freezing right now, but everything will be all right. >> you heard him. it is bitter cold out there this morning, but we're going to be all right. katie is even talking about a weekend warm up. and tgif. today is friday, february 10th, good morning, i'm jim donovan. >> indeed, i second that, tgif. i'm rahel solomon, katie and

meisha keeping an eye on things this morning and getting us out the door. tgif, the roads are looking good. just dealing with some ice out there, katie has been talking about that all morning long, that it in it looks wet, it is not wet it is frozen. >> does not matter where you are everything below freezing, feels colder than that when you factor in what's not a terrible wind at this point, but just that cold. so any time the wind blows on cold february morning like it is today, it is going to make it feel that much chillier. look at storm scan, no storms in site, folks, one from yesterday, long gone, even at this point it is even not much more than just atlantic canada issue. some things are real quieting down in that regard. but, do keep in mind, that with the wind, in the wake of that departing storm system, you get stuck with. >> this feels like values that are stuck right now into the teens at best, feels more like seven below zero in a place like mount pocono, so really cold start. and i can certainly a test to that, having been on the skydeck couple of times, so walking out the door today again it definitely feels
