good melting day for us because we will spend much of the day above freeze willing here. actually, ends up into the 40's before it is saul said and done. take a look stone harbor, 32 degrees, still off shore wind. so pretty much on par at the shore as what you're finding inland, too, because of the off shore wind flow. don't have the influence as easily from the open ocean water. but we do have less wind going for us, region wide. do have sunshine going for us, region wide. however, no sooner do you bling, there is new wintery mix moving our way. that will commas early as tonight. so meisha little later on i'll track it for you, let you know exactly what to expect from it. >> wonderful, all right, katie, weaver our heads up on that ice patches, still out there, not like what we've seen earlier this week but they're out there. see it, then also see our accident here. norristown, 202 northbound, at main street. the vehicle went straight off the road, came very close to where that pole is. so just heads up for those of you headed out this morning, take it ice, travel at posted

speeds, no speed restrictions that i'm aware of. i wouldn't think so. so travel at posted speeds for sure. also, we've got some snow removal here, pa turnpike between virginia driver and norristown, ah, still traveling at posted speeds, but you won't see it progress through the morning, if our crews are out, there be mindful of them. construction clues out there, as well, 611 old york road, bullet letter avenue. these lanes will be blocked until 7:00 a.m. so right in the heart of rush hour when that begins. they'll just be moving out of the way. then we've got a downed tree here. downed tree, and wires delaware, faulk lands road closed between woods road and marilyn drive. alternate is kirkwood highway, see you in about ten minutes. >> new this morning, philadelphia police are building a time line after a man is found shot in overbrook. >> a driver got out of his mini-van and found the victim in the driveway.

his van was dragging something. so he pulled over into a driveway, right behind me here in overbrook. got out every his van, only to find a body underneath his vehicle. police and medics called to the scene, turns out, that victim had been shot. he was pronounced dead on the scene. you can see here this morning, a bit dark, police are still on the scene investigating exactly what happened. but most of the activity has moved on. that body was removed about a half hour ago now. the glue some discovery was made just before midnight here in the 1,000 block of north 68th street. police actually responded for a report of a pedestrian being hit by a car. but when they got here, they found that victim lying in the driveway and realized he had also been shot at least once in the head. medics again pronounced him dead on the scene. now during the investigation, police say, it appears the victim is actually dragged about 100 feet before the driver pulled into the driveway and noticed the body. police are now calling this a homicide. and during the investigation, they followed a trail of blood to find number of other spent

shell casings here at the scene, also now conducting interviews. take a listen. >> fifty-one year old driver of the mini-van remained on location. he's fully cooperating with police. he has been transported to homicide where he is being investigated and interviewed by homicide detectives. >> now police here on the scene go on to say they don't believe this driver had anything to do with the shooting. at this point they're not commenting on motive. the male victim also not been identified, but jim, rahel, seems to be a bizarre scenario, driver trying to make his way home only to find out he ran over someone, who had been shot in the head. we're reporting live in overbrook this morning, jan carabeo, cbs-3, "eyewitness news," back into you. >> so bizarre, jan, thank you, back to you. >> rahel, german chancellor merkel meets with president trump at the white house today will hold joint news conference, yesterday was busy day at the white house, released budget blueprint. as hena daniels reports

of them in the second half. and lots of dante, out of wilmington, delaware, double d had double double. twenty-one-point and 13 rebounds. wildcats win a tough 176-56. it was tail of two halves for nova. and they'll have to be bet nerve round two saturday afternoon. lesley van arsdall is with the wildcats in buffalo, met up with the squad after the victory. >> well, it wasn't exactly pretty. specially in the first half. but in the second half of the game, they played villanova basketball. >> so what was the difference? >> that we didn't play villanova. we that's the thing. >> play of dante, and brunson,. >> lacking energy in the first half. my job off the bench was to spring energy, because those guards are really good half court and in transition, and my job was to spark the guys, couple of rebounds, i think it work for the second half. >> won by two. but they played hard.

they played a great game. the score doesn't show how good they played. >> we had quick team, really ready. they had already been in the tournament. and we just kind of got smashed in the mouth. so i guess our learning point is we get smashed in the mouth, we stay in, there we hang in there, we keep taking hits, we just keep throwing punches until the game is over and hopefully at the end we win. >> when the clock hits zero, it was a win for villanova. and maybe a wake-up call that the road to a repeat may not be so easy. reporting in buffalo, lesley van arsdall, eyewitness sports. and next up for nova, the eighth seed wisconsin badgers, they handle virginia tech yesterday with the help of senior bronson. he finished with a school record eight, three pointers, 28 points since had he beat tech, 84-74, the wildcats will definitely have their hands full with them. they made the finals in 2015, are the only school in the
