some yellow showing up to the west and south of philadelphia so there is slightly steadier stuff on the way. satellite and radar shows you that the wider view has a little bit of a chafer of snow in the upper elevations of west virginia and southern -- western pennsylvania. it's going to be a little while before we get there colder air in but eventually we are expecting a changeover to wet snow the. a winter storm warning is still in effect until 10 o'clock tonight in all those counties you see highlighted in pink. that includes northern bucks, northern montgomery and northern western chester county and points north. in these areas we expect the biggest impact to roads with the very least slushy road conditions and perhaps snow covered conditions later today and tonight. in the advisory area including philadelphia and trenton that is more of a wet road situation with some wet snow accumulating on grassy surfaces but for visibilities. precipitation type mainly snow in the north and west once we see the changeover after about 9, 10 o'clock this morning. rain eventually changing over to wet snow in the i-95 corridor and then mainly rain down to the south. and temperatures right now

obviously still way too mild for anything but rain even up in allentown we've climbed up to 43 degrees. in philadelphia the numbers have been dropping over the last couple of hours and we're down to 47, 45 down the shore. and as we head out the door to catch that school bus this morning looks like it's going to be wet with temperatures in the mid 40's at 6 o'clock, low 40's by 8:00 as the temperatures sink a little bit. cloudy skies with rain falling. and there's a test on patience on the way home today, kids as we are going to see wet snow across much of the region. temperatures in the 30's and pretty uncomfortable. those numbers by the way karen are philadelphia numbers in the northern and western suburbs it will be a bit cooler and more easily supporting that wet snow. when i step inside future tracker 6 shows you the changeover later on and when all this gets out of here. >> all right, so for now, dave it's just rain. roads are a bit damp out there on i-95 looking live approaching cottman here's your southbound traffic headed towards center city starting to see some building volume but no problems here on i-95. switching your camera view we'll watch the ramps first for any spots for slick conditions. right now it's just wet here

on the ramp from 202 northbound to 422 eastbound as we look live here in king of prussia traffic moving nicely at this early hour. we've got a water main break in bridgeport montgomery county. avoid david road at crooked lane and i've got new information on the pennsylvania turnpike accident. it was involving two tractor-trailers, one went down an embankment. it's now just blocking the right lane. it was blocking the center lane right lane and the shoulder. we were seeing speeds in the single digits. looking better. still slowing because of this but one lane blocked. in ambler accident on fairview avenue as well so thing looking a little better at least on the pennsylvania turnpike, matt and tam. >> thank you karen. now let's go live over to "action news" reporter katherine scott. she's there at philadelphia international airport and you've seen the place go from quiet to really starting to jump. >> reporter: absolutely. activity certain picked up here and i just checked the boards. we're not seeing any problems so far on departures and hopefully that stays that way as long as possible. the problems are expected to crop up as the weather gets

worse but the folks we've been speak to go here this morning are hoping they can get out of town before that happens. and you can see things are picking up here at u.s. airways portion of the airport. we're in terminal c. we're starting to see a light rain outside and there were problems arriving at airports on the east coast even before the day began. midnight last night airlines had already canceled more than 200 flights for today. nearly half of those cancellations were at newark and la guardia and because this is already such a busy day flights were already packed so there's just less wiggle room to accommodate the passengers whose flights get canceled. aaa says there are about 580,000 people in the philadelphia area traveling this thanksgiving. that's a 4% increase from last year. most of those people are going by car but however they're traveling, even with the storm coming, many will do whatever they can to get where they want to go this holiday season. >> i think one of the things about the thanksgiving holiday is people want to be with

family and friends so they'll do whatever they can this particular holiday to make that trip. probably if you miss it you might be more inclined to make that trip christmas or the year end holidays if you miss it this time around. >> reporter: and you can see it's getting busier here as people are checking in, they're checking their bags. we did speak to some people who rebooked their flight to trio get out of town earlier. a lot of the airlines are waiving change fees for passengers flying today through airports that are in the path of the storm. phl is one of them, baltimore washington and new york airports are some of the others. while things haven't gotten too bad here yet that doesn't mean there won't be issues and or that there are already issues in places you're traveling so be sure to check your flight status before you head out the door. live at phl, katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> we hope they had plenty of leg room in their travels. thank you katherine and a window z always like those. let's head to mobile6 which is experiencing a slight delay here so we're going to take a little lift... look at

barricaded person. there's no word on who shot them and police say both agents suffered nonlife-threatening injuries. now there's no indication that this shooting had anything to do with those ongoing protests there near saint louis in ferguson but of course stay with "action news" for updates. and the man at the center of all that unrest in ferguson officer darren wilson spoke exclusively to good morning america's george stephanopoulos about why he says he shot and killed michael brown. wilson said the confrontation started when he pulled his patrol car up to brown and told the teenager to come over to him. then as wilson was trying to get out of his patrol car hization brown yelled at him and slammed the patrol car door shut on wilson. shortly after that wilson says brown started to hit him. >> reporter: he threw the first punch. >> yes. he threw the first one and hit me in the left side of my face. >> reporter: some of the witnesses have said that they saw you trying to pull him into the car. >> that would be against every training ever taught to any law enforcement officer. >> now wilson says brown hi

as we take a look outside definitely looks kind of wet on the platt bridge in south philadelphia and currently way too mild for anything other than rain just as accuweather called. 47 degrees is your current temperature in philadelphia. winds out of the northeast at nine. it will get more blustery today as that coastal low pressure system comes up and comes closer to us. right now it's pretty far down the southern coast. 7 o'clock this morning future tracker 6 showing that you it is raining basically everywhere. by 8 o'clock this is a new model run that's just in by the way, maybe a little bit of a wet snowflake here or there but even as late as 8 o'clock we're looking at basically rain. also a we get past 9 o'clock or 9:30 there is the chance that of cooler air beginning to come in and changes the rain over to wet snow in the northern and western suburbs and the latest run kind of keeps philadelphia out of the wet snow. the model may not be entirely right about that. i think that by 2 o'clock there's the possibility that we do get some wet snow right around here but i kind of like this picture because i've been telling you for the last couple days that even if we get wet snow in the i-95

corridor it's going to act like rain and go only on grassy surfaces and mainly just keep the roads wet. so, we'll probably get some wet snow but this is basically what it's going to act like. then we get later into the evening and some cold air wraps around to the west. we start getting more southerly areas with a little bit of snow and then it pulls out of here by 9 or 10 o'clock tonight's. it might lenger longer. the european model has about a coating to an inch in southern areas even south philadelphia. one to three from about center city on to the north and then three to three to six in the northern and western suburbs with allentown other cusp of the higher amount. i think the 12 is a little high but six plus possible in the poconos. the gfs is backing off and showing you a similar picture as to what you saw on future track with all of the snow staying to the north of philadelphia just a coating to an inch up to about allentown and then one to three around the lehigh valley. we do feel that what we're

going to get is a little bit higher. we're leaning more toward the euro but again in the i-95 corridor this is basically just grassy surface accumulation. but we will go one to three here, mainly rain to the south. the more you go up to northern and western suburbs, northwestern chester county and points north, 3 to 6 inches is possible and it's here where the roads could get slushy and could give us some problems. speaking of roads today mainly wet along i-95 turning slushy in some of those northern western suburbs and big wet snowflakes reducing visibilities this afternoon especially and maybe early this evening. in terms of impact for different of the region, its northern and westerns suburbs could be hardest hit. i-95 corridor we're beginning as rain, we turn to wet snow later but the slushy accumulation is mainly on grassy surfaces and then down the shore high wind gusts coming in off the ocean, a soaking rain but only a flake or two. tomorrow we dry out and it is cool. if you're head to the parade

western suburbs and then eventually down in philadelphia. future tracker 6 by 8 o'clock this morning though shows all rain with just a couple little blips of wet snow up towards the poconos. as we get past about 9 or 10 o'clock though there is that pretty good possibility we change over to all wet snow in the northern and western suburbs. the latest model runs want philadelphia to still be in rain. and then we go through the afternoon into 2 o'clock and this model run is still keeping philadelphia in rain. i actually think there could be wet snow that pushes down to around the delaware river by 2 o'clock, maybe even before then. but this isn't a bad model representation of what's going on because any wet snow that does fall right in these areas is probably going to act like rain and create only wet road conditions. we're looking at grassy surface accumulation in and around i-95. the farther you go up into northern bucks and montgomery county and out into the farther reaches of chester county and north that's where you're going to have your slushy roads developing, more wet snow and the general worse road conditions. also a we get up to 6 o'clock it does look like cooler air is beginning to wrap in so

that some more southern areas could briefly pick up a little bit of a snowflake. by 10 o'clock looks like it's all getting out of here up into the northern suburbs. what are we expecting? still calling for the potential for 1 to 3 inches accumulation on grassy surfaces in through here. but roads should remain wet in the immediate region. as you get up into the northern and western suburbs a three to 6-inch accumulation is possible and up here slushy roads in the least and maybe some snow covered roads especially up towards allentown and the poconos. allston right on the edge of a 6-inch plus bullet that we're going to get up to the north. what to expect on roads today. mainly wet along i-95 and close to philadelphia. turning slushy the in some of the northern and western suburbs, maybe snow covered the farther north you go and big wet snowflakes reducing visibilities. that is one thing you'll be dealing with in the i-95 corridor if we got the snow. might not stick to the roads but it will be tougher to see through. in the northern and western suburbs today and tonight the heaviest wet snow will be occurring there along with strong wind gusts. if enough of it piles up on bridges -- branches the wind

will blow through and possibly bring some branches down and that could lead to some power outage. again i think the northern and western suburbs have the best shot of that. as we take a look at today, cloudy skies, rain, wet snow, temperatures will sag into the 30's and hold there for most of the afternoon. you can see how between 11 o'clock and then straight through 5 o'clock we're basically in the upper 30's and that's too mild for any of this snow to stick to the roads but we could see the wet snow stick to grassy surfaces which will be cooler than asphalt. these numbers are for philadelphia. cooler up in the northern and western suburbs. but as matt mentioned for tomorrow the parade is drive. it's just chilly. wind chills in the upper 20's with temperatures climbing through the 30's tomorrow so bundle up if it's part of your tradition to join us at the 6abc dunkin' donuts thanksgiving day parade tomorrow. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, temperatures falling out of the 40's and then hovering in the 30's for most of the afternoon. we've got that rain changing over to wet snow. the farther north and west you go the worst driving will be. brisk and chilly then on thursday, a high of 40. 39 brisk and cold for shoppers

on black friday and then saturday partly sunny and still chilly, 42 but we are bouncing back unto the 50's on sunday and monday. the next chance of precipitation appears to be sunday night into monday. matt and tam that will be rain, not snow. >> okay, thanks, david. 6:41 now and still ahead, we'll be hearing from that officer related to that shooting in ferguson missouri. >> as crowds packed the streets again we're hearing from that officer. what darren wilson said in an exclusive interview with abc. karen. >> on 422 eastbound traffic jammed approaching trooper to 23. we have a jam-up on 95 and the involving two tractor-trailers. all that of when "action news" comes right back. >> ♪

>> ♪ >> hey everyone, it is the day before thanksgiving. some people still have to go to school and work. we had school closings, only a handful of them running at the bottom of your screen, also on 6abc.com. but you see it's raining out there at the ben franklin bridge. >> that definitely can mean some slowdowns as volume goes. let's go to karen rogers. good morning. >> yeah, we don't even need snow to cause problems on the roads. we'll get that later. for now the roads are just wet and we can see we're jammed. this is i-95 at allegheny and we can see that southbound traffic headed towards center city jammed at this point from the betsy ross bridge to girard. you're already looking at a 25 minute travel time on i-95 southbound from woodhaven to the vine so the roads here just wet but getting a good soaking in some spots. let's take a look at the big picture. slow speeds on i-95, 17 miles an hour southbound near girard. about 15 on the schuylkill

westbound near belmont, about 30 on the schuylkill eastbound near girard so you can see those speeds are knocked down a little bit with these wet roads and everyone taking it easy which is a good idea. two accidents on the pennsylvania turnpike. this one on the turnpike eastbound near fort washington involving two tractor-trailers has cleared. at the worst of times we saw speeds in the single digits because of this accident so it cleared and things looking better there. and we also have an accident on lower state road not on the turnpike but not far off, lower state road at high gate drive so that's a new one just coming in right now. also two accidents here in willingboro not far from each other causing problems here in burlington county. this one on levitt parkway at van sciver parkway. jnk at rancocas road. storm tracker 6 live double scan showing it's just wet out there. what we've seen over the past hour as david has been pointing out is the heavier rain. look at the areas of yellow filling in so if you're in pottstown, quakertown, if you're traveling on the northeast extension, if you're

in doylestown right now you're getting that area of yellow, the really steadier heavy rain right now as well as spots in norristown malvern and coatesville along the 30 bypass. some of the areas where that rain really coming in. let's look at the temperatures though because that's key today. 44 degrees, you're well above freezing through the area right now matt. >> thanks karen. this is breaking right now. two fbi special agents were slot in northern saint louis county right near ferguson, missouri. authorities say this is not directly related to the protests in ferguson. it happened as the agents were assisting another police department in executing an arrest warrant. one agent was shot in the shoulder, the other in the leg. the injuries are not life-threatening. >> meanwhile in ferguson we heard from officer darren wilson in an exclusive interview with. bc news. he told george stephanopolous he feels he did his job right. he says the day he shot brown was the first time he fired his gun as a police officer. he also explained that he told his supervisor who arrived on the scene after the shooting. >> i told him high to shoot

somebody. he asked me why. i said well he grabbed my gun and he charged me and he was going to kill me. >> reporter: so you killed him first. >> yes. >> reporter: is there anything you could have done differently. >> you can see more from wilson coming up in minutes on "good morning america." >> 6:47. the accuweather team will be tracking this storm all day mobile6 is out and about on the schuylkill expressway. got the wipers going. see that spray coming up from the other side of the highway. we'll be right back with weather and traffic. >> okay, guys, we have umbrellas on the kids both on the way to school and on the way home. we'll see a change over to wet snow this afternoon, umbrellas still might be a better idea -- or a good idea. south jersey going to see a lot of rain today and it gets a little colder too so i'm a adding gloves for the afternoonly we'll be back with your day planner forecast right after this. >> ♪

lansdale doylestown line may experience delays up to 20 minutes. they're having switching problems david. >> on the big board karen we have storm tracker 6 live double scan showing you some heavier cells highlighted in yellow pushing north of philadelphia into the northern suburbs right now. there's more where that came from down to the south. so far only seeing a little bit of wet snow on the other side of harrisburg so it's not here yet. as expected frankly but it will be here later on. we're looking for that change to start in the northern and western suburbs sometime after the rush hour. 41 degrees by 9 o'clock but then we spend the rest of the day in the 30's. we'll see that changeover to wet snow in philadelphia probably around midday or so. but the biggest travel problems with compromised road conditions are going to be in the northern and western suburbs, slush possible up there, maybe some snow coverage matt and tam. >> thank you david. it's time now to check in with "gma." they have this exclusive with officers darren wilson from ferguson. >> amy robach has a preview
