our very sure footed kyle hall our photographer out at 15th and marketment look at the sheen, just expect that at this point, if it is still looks like it is just wet, that is slick, guys, and, you know, even though there may be some treated sidewalks and whatnot, you sort of just have to assume that the salt may not have reached every single spot. so just take it easy, i don't think it will be assisi trying to just russian run for a treanor a bus this morning. you're going to need to be on time, and ahead of schedule. so try to walk out the door, little extra early, if you consideration it is tough to hit the alarm and get out the door early. i get that. one of the mornings where you don't want to chance it, meantime, the ice should start to become less after problem later this morning, i would say 1030, 11:00 a.m., when the temperatures are well enough above freezing not so much of a concern. here's that storm just talking about in california. across the rest of the country , though, things looking relatively quiet. for now. and we are eventually going to see new storm take shape though later in the week, that is what's going to bring the next round every rain, as

early as thursday night, but specially into friday. now, because the temperatures are warming up so much, this is just a rainstorm. initially on friday. the daytime high is likely to hit 06 degrees at that point. there will be a cold back side to this, however, almost possibility we wrap up the storm as it is quickly making departure friday into saturday with a little bit of wintery weather. that's not a guarantee yet. so we'll keep an eye on that for you, but the general gist is this, it warms up substantially, and you need an umbrella by weeks ends, friday specifically, let me just jump you right to the seven day here if i can. we start to warm things up on thursday, and in a big way, 60 is the day that we peak obviously here on friday, but you will need the umbrella. saturday for eagles playoff it , looks right now as though the temperatures will likely be in the mid 40's or so, around kick-off. and we should be drying out by then, too. meisha? >> all right. katie, thank you so much. i'm loving seeing the 50 and 60s on the weather map. looking outside, like we've been talking about all morning long, it will be very slippery

out there. give yourselves extra time this morning, we will need it. peaking outside route 309 at the turnpike, taillights northbound direction. starting to see levels build basically anywhere that we look right now. you will have to give yourself extra time, probably driving less than posted speeds. and in a lot of areas: hence, we have some markers out there , letting us know we have some speed restrictions in play, as well, particularly 495 in delaware, some of the bridges, as well, this is a look at 95 near columbus boulevard, heads up, walt whitman bridge, letting us know down to 35 miles per hour , that time looks like eight a, but actually says 35. now speaking of which, ben franklin, walt whitman bridge, betsy ross, commodore barry down to 35 miles per hour, and talcony pal my, a burlington bristol, down to 25 miles per hour here. you will have to follow those postings just because it is so slippery out there. that's where we lead to problems whether we think we can drive posted speeds. same in delaware here. you're reduced to 55 miles per hour, rahel, jim, back to you. >> meisha, thank you.
