part every western pennsylvania, as women, these will come through in very scattered fashion throughout the dayment looks like mainly through midday, afternoon, maybe even as late as early evening, but all so scattered, that it is worth a mention because it is the s words. so but you won't see much if any accumulation out of this. there may be quick little burst of the snow to potentially briefly reduce your visibility. but here go. it is all so scattered, this there will be spots that don't see anything out of this, notice, little pink, little green showing up, may see some raindrops or a sweep comes out of this, but so quick moving with the clipper and very moisture starved system. then it is out of here, we're in the clear through the majority of the weekends. future snow amounts, take to you 1:00 p.m. before anything would even show up for accumulation, but what you will notice is that even though you get a .1, wilmington, philly, what happens is, even if this tries to stick, it will not accumulate, because the grounds is so warm. so, with that said, it is just more of a non-event than anything, certainly again, if you have some snow showers, 34 t

>> incredible. i thought there was some concern about it not raising revenue, but clearly not affecting the ipo at all. >> the ipo was a success, that does not mean that snap is going to be a success long-term. twitter's ipo was a huge success, but look at the stock now. so just because do you well in your first day of trading doesn't mean that the long-term investment. >> keeping fingers crossed, thank you, jill. >> well, there was a time when beer, wine and liquor illegal. >> now you can go back in time to see what life was like back then. the national constitution center through a party to welcome back the popular exhibit, american spirit, the rise and fall of prohibition. it uses mix of artifacts and activities to take visitors back in time to the roaring 20's, and through the eventual constitutional repeal. the exhibit runs through july 16. to learn more or for a link to buy tickets just go to our website cbsphilly.com. >> coming up after the break, another check on traffic and weather. >> plus, students know all of the right moves in the game of

>> welcome back, a clipper system today will bring with it some snow showers. now, before we panic, they're very scat nerds nature. they should have a very difficult time sticking, let alone accumulating. you can already, however, see that what the cold air has brought us is a widespread batch of, again, very scattered on the radar, most of it obviously hasn't even reached us yet. do have snow showers rolling through parts of the chesapeake bay, maryland state, all headed our way with time. it generally will happen through midday. now looking at the temperature change, yes, it is a lot colder out there, guys. is it anywhere near as windy as yesterday? thankfully not. but it is still breezy, throughout the day. i think you might see gusts

tonight specially as high as 30 miles per hour in the wake of this clipper. so they're doing the math, though, in your head here, that means that we're back down into the 30's, even 20's in some spots. so it is a colder day obviously, and by comparison to recent days, this is going to feel a, like a rude awakening, b, heck of a lot more like wintertime. take a look at the seven day, granted the mild days are returning for those of that you can't stand highs only in the 30's. but it does take a while until we hit next mid week, the time we will see milder air work it way back in. for now no major storms in site for the next couple of days. meisha? >> that will be nice, katie, little relief maybe a little bit. thank you so much. looking outside, lot of flashing lights out there. this is police activity, 59 north, this is before the walt whitman bridge. heads up on this. kind of keeping our eye on this area right now. because it is still early, it is still very dark. obviously we will have some factors going into play there, especially how dark it is, typically friday morning i would say not so much to worry, it will be lighter travel day.

but already we've been seeing things look pretty darn busy, and active out there on this friday morning, so something to think about. this is one area that will actually start to slow down even though we haven't even tipped into the 5:00 hour. this is going to start to cause us some problems. heads up. also an accident in penn wynn, haverford road at medford road, heads up on this, been out there little bit. i want to bring it to your attention, know it is out, there if you have to leave more deep near the 5:00 hour, if it is still out there give yourself couple of extra minutes. also water main break there is happened about 3:30 a.m., egg harbor city new jersey main street at philadelphia avenue. i would suggest taking this alternate, southbound avenue will be your best bet right now. jim, rahel, over to you. >> thank you shall meishament some students who love chess put their skills to the competitive test. >> after school activities partnership, held at the pen museum of archeology. this november teams have been competing in biweekly tournaments at philadelphia schools and the top teams showed off their best moves.
