roads, things are not going so well here in bellmawr camden county. northbound side of 42 backed up severely from north of lower landing road through this point at creek road up to 295. it's emergency construction. it's the reason for the parking lot. a collapsed sewer great that they're needing to repair so three of the lanes are blocked. just one lane getting by on northbound 42 and it's causing this huge backlog. no word on when the construction crews will going to pull out of the way. you want to avoid 42. maybe stick with the black horse pike or the white horse pike. also the ramp connecting 295 northbound with 42 is blocked because of that construction. but you may want to use 295 through gloucester county instead. the new jersey turnpike still has southbound road work near 62 for 322 block the left lane scheduled until 6 o'clock this evening. water main break in the heart of princeton moore street and spruce street expected to be out there until 8 o'clock. bucks county big backups on route one the not so super highway by the pennsylvania

turnpike because of a crash on the southbound side just the shoulder squeezing by. northbound left lane blocked because of police activity associated with that route 1 crash here by the turnpike. i think i would stick with 95 instead. speaking of the pennsylvania turnpike the valley forge service plaza on the eastbound side now closed. they're rebuilding it. so by august we'll have a fresh shiny new service plaza but right now can't stop and get your gas. we'll check it again brian and shirleen coming up in the 5 o'clock hour. >> matt thank you. taking a live look outside right now a beautiful one sky 6 hd looking live at the sunset in atlantic city tonight. just a gorgeous shot. >> meteorologist melissa magee has exclusive accuweather forecast coming up next. >> ♪♪

right now. we're tracking that clipper system. the snow arrives just in time for that commute in the morning so give yourself some extra time. spring mountain sky 6 live hd giving that you shot there. you can see skiers on the slopes dealing with that snow. we'll be dealing with snow from mother nature as early as tomorrow. we're going to be tracking the arrival time and how much we're expecting with this weak clipper system that moves in. storm tracker 6 live double scan showing it's dry and quiet across the delaware and lehigh valley. that clipper system still off to the west moving across the northern plain but will race eastward as early as overnight and into tuesday. high temperature today a little deceiving. 50 degrees at around midnight but for most of the day temperatures have been crashing and falling down into the 30's and they will that continue to do so overnight in anticipation of this moisture that we're tracking tomorrow. here's the other part of the story on our monday. peak wind gusts, winds coming in out of the west-northwest

as you take a look at the wind particles, gusting as high as 31 miles per hour, gusting up up to 31 miles per hour in atlantic city and in the poconos 28 miles per hour making it feel like we have wind chills across the region in the teens single digits in the poconos and 22 degrees is the current wind chill number in philadelphia, feels like 27 in sea isle city. just 15 degrees in lancaster and one of that single digit 9-degree wind chill up in the poconos. here's satellite6 along with action radar. it's quite across much of our region right now. the clouds are starting to build and thicken off to our west with lake effect snow showers earlier today. that is shutting off but what we are tracking as we widen out this picture the storm system that's quickly coming out of the northern plains diving to the south and east. this works its way eastward as early as tomorrow. that will track out the precipitation for you. future tracker 6 showing you early tuesday morning 7 o'clock in the morning looks to be mostly cloudy across the region and starting to break out from a west-east

direction. 8:30 in the morning still light snow showers across the area and continues at 12:30 in the afternoon which is why that winter weather advisory has been posted for chester bucks county down across south jersey and right into delaware and looks like this moisture will wrap up as early as 4 o'clock on tuesday afternoon. so overall this is what we are calling for. the start time between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock in the morning, light snow generally 1 to 2 inches of snowfall on the way. the problem is going to be the timing because at the onset of the snow arriving, temperatures will be below the freezing mark which means the snow is going to stick on the roads so give yourself some extra time. so travel is a big concern. blustery and very cold as well throughout the day on tuesday and a reinforcing shot of cold air as early as midweek. the call from accuweather for the rest of tonight very cold increasing clouds, 21 in philadelphia for the overnight low, 17 in allentown and 23 degrees for the overnight low in cape may. here's the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast. on tuesday, periods of light

snow, high temperature up to 29 degrees. overall 1 to 2 inches of snow. i think in philadelphia at this time will be closer to the 1 inch rather than the two. wednesday windy and cold, a high temperature up to 28 degrees but wind chills midweek only in the teens and then check out the overnight low on wednesday. we'll drop down to 10 degrees so a reinforcing shot of arctic air moves in wednesday night right into thursday. brisk and very cold by then, a high temperature up to 22 degrees. on friday, some sunshine, not as bitter, high temperature then of 33. at least we're 1 degree above the freezing mark by then but that temperature sticks around as we get into the weekend. 30 on saturday becoming cloudy on sunday with a high of 37 and the threat of some rain or snow showers as we get into next weekend but we are tracking that light snowfall and some minor events. the problem however is going to be the timing. we'll be tweeting and facebooking tonight and into tomorrow guys. >> sounds good. thank you melissa. saving with 6abc is coming up next

the withy big problem with this system is not the amount of snow. accumulations will be light. it's the fact that the bulk of that will be occurring during the morning commute. storm tracker 6 live double scan showing us this is what's known as an alberta clipper it's a fast moving low pressure, doesn't have a lot of moisture with it and this will be diving to the south. now parts of the midwest will get 3 to 6 inches from this system but the mountains will tend to really weaken so we're looking at light accumulations but any accumulation when temperatures are dropping quickly can cause some problems. the national weather service has issued winter weather advisories for light snow along the i-95 corridor and all areas to the south and east from 5 o'clock tomorrow morning until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. and this is is coming with some very cold air. right now philadelphia is 32 degrees. millville 33. allentown 27. wilmington 31. a big change from yesterday when some areas made it into the 60's. future tracker showing 7 o'clock tomorrow morning
