alls come sunday night. quick moving showers, snow showers hit had much of our viewing area this afternoon but accuweather is looking ahead at the possibility of a major storm come super bowl night. and this is a live picture on belmont avenue near city avenue in philadelphia. it is foggy and still snowing so please be careful. meteorologist cecily tynan is live at the big board tonight. cecily it's what's the story. >> these are instability snow squalls. it's like in the springtime when you get that buildup of late afternoon showers. this is essentially the same thing. it's just a form of snow and storm tracker 6 live double scan showing that there's a broken line of these snow squalls from berks county, montgomery county through camden and burlington but they're dying down right now. the main problem with these the fact that it's reducing visibilities for the evening commute. and these are being delivered on some cold gusty winds and the winds will be whipping all night long. a wind advisory has been posted until 6 o'clock

tomorrow morning for wind gusts 40 to 50 miles per hour and while these winds are gusting, they're pulling down very cold air. so, future tracker showing on this friday night you're heading out at 9 o'clock we're looking at wind chills generally in the single digits and they will be dropping below zero tomorrow morning. so, we have some arctic air that's moving in for saturday and then on sunday, i'm tracking this, this late weekend winter storm that low pressure right now is over arizona and the track has shifted a little bit farther to the north. so that will be rolling right south of philadelphia, so what this means is that it won't be pure snow for all parts of our viewing area. there will be some mixing issues and i'll talking about the totals and the timing on the full accuweather forecast. >> thank you cecilyly. the morning team will get a early start on monday. for the latest forecasts and travel conditions, please join matt o'donnell, tamala edwards, dave murphy and karen

rogers beginning at 4:00 a.m. and whenever wintry weather hits you can keep an eye on our storm tracker 6 radar's at 6abc.com/weather. you'll also find the hourly and seven-day forecasts along with the latest call from our team of meteorologists right here on "action news." there has been a stunning development in the story we first told you yesterday. the pennsylvania treasurer rob mccord, was the target of a federal investigation. well, today mccord issued a recorded statement that he would plead guilty to federal charges and his resignation would be effective immediately. "action news" reporter dann cuellar is live in the satellite center and dann once this got going it moved quickly. >> reporter: yes, it did jim. a fast moving turn of events since we first reported that rob mccord was under federal investigation. his lawyers say he will plead guilty to federal charges and the treasurer himself in a videotaped statement admits wrongdoing.

>> i owe an apology to the people of pennsylvania. >> reporter: when i caught up with pennsylvania treasurer rob mccord last night outside his home he told me he could not talk about the federal investigation but would be doing so soon. and today in a remorseful video statement mccord said the mistake and fault is his and his alone. he says in trying to take advantage of potential political contributors he stepped over the line when he said this. >> to remind them that i could make things difficult for them. i essentially said that the potential contributors should not risk making an enemy of the state treasurer. clearly that was wrong. >> reporter: mccord who has served as treasurer since 2008 made an unsuccessful bid to win the democratic nomination for governor last year. his lawyers say it was during that failed campaign that he overstepped the line of legitimate political fundraising. >> and i know my improper efforts to raise campaign contributions will forever be a stain on my record. again, i deeply regret my actions and i apologize for

any harm or any embarrassment i've caused for anyone. >> reporter: mccord had originally intended to resign on february 12th thinking it would be a long time before the public learned about the investigation. but now that word got out -- >> i'm now deeply concerned that my continuation in office even for a day might interfere with the operation of the office of the treasurer and so i'm now resigning effective immediately. >> reporter: and late today in a statement governor tom wolf says in part this is a sad day for the commonwealth and for rob mccord's family. this type of behavior leads to erosion of the public trust. it is simply unacceptable. he says he will act as quickly as possible to present a nominee to the senate to replace rob mccord. we're live in the sat center, i'm dann cuellar channel6 "action news" there thanksy thank you dann. on the heels of a visit from his boss vice president joe biden came to town today.

biden said despite getting clobbered in the midterm elections democrats have to stand up and defend their role in the country's recovery. >> we move from disaster to recovery to resurgence. now the republican party is -- it's amazing they're trying to rewrite history. >> this retreat was the final push for philadelphia to win the bid to host the party's national political convention in 2016. a decision on that is expected within a matter of weeks. and an alleged carjacker made a very bad choice this morning in the city of wilmington. police say he tried to carjack a homeland security agent live at 11th. and tatnall is david henry. >> reporter: it happened around 8 o'clock this morning just as people were arriving for the workday. the shot was fired right up

there on the second floor of this parking garage. >> that was this morning here. yeah, i don't like the sounds of that. so, what happened. >> reporter: police say a federal agent with customs and immigration was parking his government car when a man tried to steal the car. during the confrontation the agent fired a single shot from his government issued handgun. the would be carjacker ran from the garage and was quickly arrested by wilmington police nearby. regular customers of the garage are shaken up. >> i've never had any bad experiences here so that shocks me. >> reporter: the agent involved works for the homeland security investigations division of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement. the incident is being investigated by the agency and the wilmington police department. at this point it's not clear if the agent fired in self-defense or discharged his weapon accidentally. that will be part of the internal investigation. the bullet did not hit the suspect. wilmington has been reeling from a violent crime wave in recent months. long time customers of this

garage say there have been numerous break-ins of parked vehicles but nothing like this. they're hoping for better security. >> things changed a couple years ago a little bit. this garage it needs more, i don't know maybe cameras something. >> reporter: more security. >> more security. >> reporter: now, the garage has security cameras but only on the first floor so the incident apparently was not captured on video. the police have not released the name of a suspect yet but sources tell me he does not apparently have a prior arrest record. live in wilmington, david henry, channel6 "action news." jim. >> thank you david. the ride sharing company lyft is now operating in philadelphia without permission. like its rival uber, customers can order a car through a smartphone app. lyft cars feature pink mustache. the company as approval to operate in pennsylvania but

and they'll be enforced whether they're forced with penalties, with financial penalties, with suspensions. any number of things can be used in the context of that if there's a violation of those rules. whether a competitive advantage was actually gained or not is secondary in my mind to whether that rule was violate. >> pete carol bill belichick posing with the lombardi trophy. who will go home with it, seattle or new england. super bowl xlix just two days weigh in arizona so who do you think is going to win sunday? here at "action news" we have our own predictions. here's ducis rodgers wearing a seahawks jersey going with seattle by three. jaime apody likes seattle two by four points. me and my big foam finger is going with the seahawks as four as well. how about the 6abc sports team united altogether, we're even holding hands right there all picking seattle. is my head really that big. >> it is.

cecily tynan. lots to talk about. >> we're starting with snow squalls. then we have bitter cold and then we have a winter storm moving in on sunday. busy weekends weather-wise. storm tracker 6 live double scan showing the snow squalls i've been tracking really all afternoon and evening are really beginning to diminish in intensity but they've moved into atlantic county, hammonton right now, crossing route 33, 22. that continues to race towards the south and the east and this is generally a light snow squall. we do have a little bit more of an intense snow squall right near norristown right now, near jenkintown, willow grove but these should all be out of here by about 7:30 or so and then skies will be clearing. the temperatures will really be dropping. i've gotten a lot of great pictures though on my facebook page and twitter account sent from "action news" viewers and joan from downingtown posted this photo to my facebook page and she said that it looked like a snow globe this afternoon when the snow squall was moving in. pretty intense. you go from sunshine one

minute to a snow squall covering the ground about five minutes later and this is all because of the cold air that's rushing in. philadelphia 33 degrees right now. we reached a high of 42 degrees around lunchtime. pretty nice earlier today. millville 32. trenton 31. allentown 27. reading 28 and wilmington currently 31 degrees. and then you factor in the winds blowing out of the northwest. the current wind chill 21 degrees in philadelphia, 12 in allentown, 15 in reading. nine in lancaster and 20 in millville. if you think this is cold, look at the wind chills tomorrow morning. you step outside tomorrow morning, south jersey and delaware, the wind chills zero to 5 degrees below zero. the i-95 corridor including philadelphia and trenton and wilmington, we're looking at wind chills five to 10 degrees below zero and the lehigh valley northern berks coin through the poconos wind chills early tomorrow morning dropping to 10 to 20 degrees below zero. so, if you're heading up to the poconos to ski pile on

the layers and take a lot of breaks in the lodge because this is dangerous cold. satellite6 along with action radar showing that the clouds are really beginning to thin out and we'll be mostly clear in the overnight hours as the snow squalls are weakening but at the same time low pressure that's over arizona is beginning to strengthen. it's just starting to get the moisture. it will get an injection of energy through northern branch feature and this system will be moving through and enter our region on sunday night. so, this is the time line. it will begin as light snow for most of our viewing area between 4 o'clock sunday afternoon and 8 o'clock sunday night. so, this will be arriving during the super bowl. looks light but if you're driving home from any parties there could be an inch or two of snow on the ground so do be careful. the heaviest part of the storm system will occur when most of us are sleeping, between 1 o'clock in the morning and 9 o'clock on monday morning. this is also when we'll begin to see some moisture in the form of rain mixing in from

the south to the north and getting into philadelphia by the middle of the morning on monday. this storm system will be moving out between noon and 4 o'clock and it will be ending as snow showers. so, this is what to expect as far as precipitation types. north of the pennsylvania turnpike you likely will see no mixing. this is going to be an all snow event. i do think snow will be mixing in with sleet perhaps even rain around philadelphia, lakehurst, wilmington and north of atlantic city and extreme south jersey and delaware you'll probably see some snowflakes at the beginning and at the end but mainly this will be a rain event. so, this is an early prediction as far as snowfall amounts. if the track changes these could change, but right now we're looking at less than an inch of accumulation in cape may, in kent county. 1 to 3 inches south of wilmington through atlantic city. the immediate philadelphia area 3 to 6 inches and then the northern suburbs north of the pennsylvania turnpike, this could be a major snow, 6 to 12-inches if this track

holds as i expect it right now. so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast tomorrow 28 degrees, wind chills in the low teens. on sunday, that light snow arriving in the evening 36 degrees. that storm system reaches its full intensity early on monday, then it moves out monday afternoon 31. we drop it to 22 degrees on tuesday. bump it up to 37 degrees on wednesday. snow showers thursday and friday very cold, 27 degrees. that storm system is about 2,000 miles away so again things could change. i'll have an update on "action news" at 11:00. >> thank you cecily. abc's world news tonight with david muir is next on channel 6.
