when the atmosphere moist tense up. winter weather advisories for northampton, berks, lehigh counties from snow and sleet changing over to rain so in lancaster this starts at 10:00 a.m., starts at 1:00 p.m. for your northwest suburbs out there and continues until 10 o'clock tonight. watching for that closely on satellite 6 and action radar showing a lot of precipitation but it's a broken line of precipitation that will be headed our way. so what we're going to see, some showers on and off that could be light and intermittent during the first half of the day and then picking up a little bit as the day wears on. we're already, though, 39 degrees, so we know anything on the surface will just melt in the city at this point obviously. 37 degrees in millville and those roads are so warmed up from the high temperatures we had yesterday but you are hovering right around that freezing mark in the lehigh valley, 33 in allentown, 34 in reading where it's currently dry and mount pocono 24 degrees. so, as we look at the precipitation type we can see that it's mostly just rain in philadelphia and areas south, you may see a quick mix in the

early afternoon hours changing to rain pretty quickly in your immediate northwest suburbs and the most concern would be for areas north of i-81 nearly a town where you could get some icing there. here's a look all right day planner in the city. 37 by 9:00 a.m. with some light rain at times. by noon, 38, some on and off showers. by 3:00 p.m., 41. by 6:00 p.m., 39 coming down from that high of 42. so, we're going to talk more about future tracker 6, kind of slow you what the day is going to look like, matt. >> sounds g i'm thrilled to still report mostly dry conditions in the traffic cameras at this point, karen including here on our good buddy ben, the ben franklin bridge. i saw some flashing lights just a few minutes ago. turns out they were just setting up some eastbound construction here on the right lane. that lane blocked but you're getting by in both directions with no delays. if you're coming westbound and hopping on the vine street expressway all is fine on the vine on this tuesday morning here by the schuylkill expressway. few people slowing down to get onto 76 but no big accidents like we had yesterday morning. and on 76 and 95 speeds look

good so far this morning. do have that crash in north philadelphia to avoid at 21st and oxford and we still have the broken down vehicle partially blocking the ramp from stow to the westbound side of 422 but you can get by. of course we have the ongoing work zone along 422 between stow and 100 with new restrictions beginning tomorrow. we'll talk more about that later on. and on the northeast extension northbound approaching the lehigh valley interchange still a left lane restriction because of road work going for the next little bit. matt. >> thank you matt. let's begin with a developing story here. flames erupted in this north philadelphia row home leaving one person hurt. the fast moving fire broke out on the 2900 block of north 24th street at 1:00 a.m. and the action cam was there as fire crews were battling the blaze in the first and seconds floors of the house. it took fire crews about 15 minutes to get the fire under control. no word on that victim's condition. investigators are still working to try and figure out what started the fire. and another developing story. a man who was only being identified as a john doe right

now is fighting for his life this morning. a driver struck him in west philadelphia and took off. the hit and run happened at 59th and market streets at 9:00 last night. police say a volvo station wagon struck the 25-year-old man as he was crossing the street. the volvo driver then drove off. the victim was taken to the hospital with head and internal injuries. police have been unable to figure out who the victim is as they search for the driver. >> a man has been hit by a car in a deadly accident in northeast philadelphia and police tell us the victim was crossing cottman avenue near oakland street last night when he was hit by a dodge charger. at the time it was dark and raining and the victim was not in the crosswalk. police have not identified the man yet but they say they do know he's about 69 years old. the driver who hit him stayed at the scene and police are calling this an accident. new this morning, a man was shot in the stomach collapsing into the street in philadelphia's strawberry mansion section. police say the shooter opened fire on the 23-year-old victim at close range here at 30th

"action news" reporter erin o'hearn is at the big board with what we know about shane montgomery. erin. >> well, matt, family and friends and now communities really hoping to have better news at this point. the reward for information about shane who you see here has gone up to $25,000. now shane was last seen at this kildare's restaurant on main street in manayunk. the director of operations of kildare's restaurants explained that there was no argument or confrontation surrounding shane's departure from that bar and emphasized that he was not acting drunk and he added shane did accidentally bump into the dj's equipment but was polite and respectful and just moved on. a short time after the

21-year-old college student was seen leaving the bar around 2:00 a.m. a ping was picked up from his cell phone near a cvs about a mile away from kildare's and authorities say after that, the trail goes cold. yesterday family and friends you see there stayed busy handing out leaflets in the manayunk roxborough section of the city keeping hope that someone will come forward with information that will help them find shane. >> i have a very strong and resilient mother who raised us to be hopeful and prayerful and faithful and that's what i'm trying to be. >> now this is the picture that you will see on more than 30 digitized billboards across the philadelphia region. if you have any information, you should call law enforcement at 2,154,184,000. there is also an online fundraiser that i put on my facebook page and we of course will have that on 6abc.com as well. tam, back to you. >> i saw the signs at my grocery store yesterday, erin. we hope this comes to a good

rogers. it was a lovely day yesterday but yesterday is over. >> that's right. before that rain came we had those mild temperatures in the mid 60's. today we're talking winter weather advisories. storm tracker 6 live double scan around the region and you can see some of that rain falling. at this point it's south of the city of philadelphia for the most part that is actually reaching ground. looks like a little light precipitation in the northwest. i've been check some areas, haven't seen anything reaching ground just yet. we can go in closer to this with double scan and show you some light rain falling south of philadelphia. i wouldn't be surprised in areas like near mount holly and wrightstown to see some sleet pellets mixing in where it's very light but you can see it's just rain for the most part in philadelphia and areas south. let's go on outside and show you what it looks like and sky 6 looking live at a philadelphia international airport where we do just have cloudy skies reported at this moment. look at the temperature. it's 39 degrees. so that temperature already well above freezing but here's the important thing, this dewpoint so low, 23 degrees. so that means what looks like

on radar is really coming down is just kind of evaporating before it hits the surface but that evaporative cooling is also what could allow some sleet pellets to mix in in even in spots where the surface temperature is above freezing. winds out of the northeast. that's another big thing because yesterday they were out of the southwest pulling in the mild air. we don't have that today so it's a lot cooler and that pressure 30.55-inches. let's take a look right now at satellite 6 and action radar and we can see lots of clouds. again, it looks like precipitation really falling heavily. a lot of this just evaporating at this point but you get the idea. once the atmosphere moist tense we'll get intermittent showers through the area and even some mixing. as we look to the southwest you can see where you're getting mixing already happening and i think we'll see some of that through our region. so let's spell out the day ahead. by 8:00 a.m., 37. you can see some sleet pellets even in the city but just melting at the surface. 37 degrees with showers on and off. by 11:00 a.m., 38 with some showers. by 2:00 p.m., 41 degrees. it's going to be on and off,

not solid through the day. by 5:00 p.m., 39 and our high today is 42. looking at future tracker 6 we can advance this to 11 o'clock, you see those showers are in and out and it's mostly areas in the northwest that we're watching for some of that mixed precipitation in many spots it will just melt at the surface but you'll see it coming down. we advance this, this is at lunchtime, we still have rain here or there through the region with some mixing in the northwest suburbs but i think it's most especially in allentown and areas north where you can still see this happening. you see at 2 o'clock through most of the area we're just talking rain and it's in allentown and areas north you get some snow and sleet before changing over to range this is a look at 6 o'clock when you're driving through the area, we think even in your northwest suburbs it's going to be light rain at times on and off but especially in allentown and areas north that's where you have a little more concern. it all wraps out of here after midnight tonight. so let's look at the precipitation types. mostly just rain and areas philadelphia and south. maybe you see a couple sleet pellets mixing in in

philadelphia but it will melt at the surface. immediate northwest suburbs we could have a mix changing over pretty quickly to rain and again melting at the surface. but in allentown and areas north i think that's the main area of concern and your best chance to see some of that slushy coating kind of happening so we're watching for that and through the afternoon and evening it could be slippery there. here's what you can expect over the next 24 hours. some on and off showers, a mix northwest changing to rain so in philadelphia north and west maybe a quick mix before it changes to rain but it will melt at the surface. the minor issues in the far northwest as we saw in allentown and areas north where it could be sustained a little bit of icing but it's mild overnight and that's key. so in the overnight hours we're talking about temperatures in the 40's so we're not really concerned about slipping overnight. here's a look at your exclusive accuweather seven day. rain and wintry mix in the northwest, 42 degrees for your high. it will be on and off. it's very light and most of it not even reaching ground right now. much milder tomorrow, 55 degrees for your high with a few showers. on thursday it's partly sunny

and 46. thursday your best day. at least it's dry 'cause friday it's damp and dreary again, 48 degrees with some rain especially the seconds half of the day. saturday some periods of rain on and off and 52. sunday for the eagles mostly cloudy skies, a few showers around and 52. and monday rain at times and clouds as well. >> making monday even tougher. >> we're trying, man, though. >> thank you karen. 5:42 now and an out of control car goes airborne, crash landing in a neighborhood down south. >> a suspect tries to make a quick get away on a skateboard but an alert driver made sure he didn't get far. matt. >> a quick ride for drivers here through bucks county headed towards the scutd fawbs this morning tam along 95. no issues. those are the northbound taillights but i have a new broken down vehicle a-new accident anew fire location, a plethora of problems coming up in just a few minutes. >> oh, stop it. well, a woman thought she would never see her lost wallet again but she got a pleasant surprise from septa. more on that when "action news" comes right back. >> ♪
