ut let's start with meteorologist cecily tynan at the "action news" big board. >> hi, monica and rick. storm tracker 6 live double scan showing that the storm system has moved out. we still have some lingering snow showers especially across burlington county right now but the problem isn't what's falling if the sky. the problem is the falling temperatures. all brought in by these very strong wind gusts. wind gusts in philadelphia currently 41 miles per hour. winds are whipping 41 in reading, 39 miles an hour wind gusts in allentown, 39 in wilmington and with the winds out of the northwest this will be pulling down some very cold air. so the national weather service has posted a winter weather advisory until midnight for the potential for flash freeze. what this means is that any roads that are wet untreated or that aren't blown dry the slush will be freezing very quickly as temperatures really nose dive. right now philadelphia 36 degrees, we're above freezing. wilmington dropped down to 33 but you'll notice allentown red andying and lancaster

temperatures have dropped down into the 20's and the temperatures will be falling very quickly. future tracker showing by 7 o'clock, down to 23 degrees in philadelphia, 14 in allentown seven in reading. so, this is what to expect tonight with that flash freeze. in philadelphia we're going to drop about 10 degrees over the next two hours, so untreated surfaces that are not blown dry from the winds will be freezing over. also be very careful not just driving but walking. driveways and sidewalks are going get icy. the rule of thumb with black ice, if it looks like it's wet, consider that it's not wet, it's ice. i'll talk about when temperatures will rebound and track the chance of, yes more snow coming up in the accuweather forecast. rick. >> allall right cecily. let's switch live to sarah bloomquist standing by at city avenue and the schuylkill expressway with more on how penndot is combating the ice tonight. sarah. >> reporter: the bag news, it's quite cold.

the good news, the rain has moved out. the wind has really picked up and traffic as you can see is moving along. all that has helped to dry out the pavement on local roadways. still, there are some wet spots here and there. so penndot trucks are on the move putting down salt in those areas and trying to prevent any potential refreeze. the storm moved in and out and left standing water behind sonny some on roads some on sidewalks. as the temperature dropped that water could refreeze causing problems for anyone out and about this evening. penndot trucks made the rounds throughout the afternoon trying to hit any areas on the roads still wet. >> you're not going to salt the whole highway 'cause there's no snow or icy conditions right now but we just gonna' make sure that there's no wet areas left, any area that is wet we're going salt it. >> reporter: with rush hour, penndot will pull its salt trucks offer the roads. the traffic actually helps to dry the pavement. through the night they'll hit any problem spots that arise

as temperatures tumble. motorists said they'll just try to keep an eye out. a patch of what looks like water might actually be ice. >> i'll just take my time, you know try to be safe. >> reporter: again, it seems to me you'll be just fine on the majors this evening. the schuylkill expressway is completely dry here in this area at this point but you might encounter some icy patches on those side streets sidewalks and on the driveways. live on the schuylkill expressway, i'm sarah bloomquist, channel6 "action news." >> all right, thank you sarah. the snow still coming down in the northeast tonight as the midwest begins cleaning up after that massive winter storm pushed through the country. nearly a foot and a half of snow fell in chicago. and in boston schools were closed but the subways are running. this is the second major workday snowstorm to hit the northeast in a week. as the temperatures drop be sure to stick with 6abc.com/weather. we'll have both the hourly and seven-day forecasts so you can can be prepared no matter how cold

it gets. >> now to a developing story out of harrisburg today. prosecutors filed two charges of extortion in connection with rob mccord's dealings with a law firm.

confront him and find out more about these weapons that he was intending on turning in. >> reporter: the alleged false name ryan jones. there was a struggle and the 35 district officers discover an additional gun in ruff's waist band. >> for their safety they detain him until they find out who he is and that he has a weapon on him a loaded weapon on him as well along the other weapons he's carrying in a bag with him. >> reporter: police say one of the guns in the bag was stolen. ruff's civil attorney says the allegations against ruff just wrong. >> that's a fabrication. >> reporter: attorney michael pill 11 gee maintains ruff in turning in the guns told police the source of the guns and properly identified himself. then he got a phone call. >> he went outside to take the phone call. next thing he knows five, six seven officers surround him place tasers on his chest and his ribs. >> reporter: in august, ruff filed a federal lawsuit against the department for unlawful arrest excessive force an violation of his first amendment rights. his attorney says of today's

yes, out there this evening traffic isn't super but i suppose it could be worse. as we look live at 95, volume not nearly as bad as normal here by allegheny avenue. northbound go the taillights just a little bit of stacking as you head up towards the work zone at cottman but the roadway is drying out and most of our major interstates are in fairly decent shape. once you get to the secondary routes you're finding wet conditions and in some cases slick conditions. there's a crash along oxford valley road near lincoln highway. reports of ice in bedminster county leading to a jackknifed tractor-trailer. i think 113 bedminster road would be a better wet. in richland township bucks county slipperiness definitely possible and a wreck along 309 at rich hill road. a crash along little conestoga road. no major issues along the pennsylvania turnpike but in radnor delco a crash brought down a pole so expect sproul

road to possibly be blocked for a little while between sunny hill lane and conestoga road. we'll check it again in the next half hour. >> all right, thanks matt. >> much more ahead still on "action news" at 5:00 tonight. airline and government officials gather to try and avoid future flying disasters. >> and rick, messages of support continue to pour in to the family of bobbi kristina brown, the daughter of the late whitney houston remains hospitalized after being found unresponsive. i'll have the very latest coming up. >> all right, that and much more. adam and cecily return with the full weather forecast all coming up next for you

disease. so, for parents it is best to read the label and look for foods lower in added sugar and sodium. >> i'm cognize sants of the fact that it requires a loot more work. >> parents of kids and adults on the autism spectrum met with lawmakers in philadelphia today. councilman dennis o'brien released the final report of the philadelphia autism project. it highlights the needs of families and ways to make sure that they can access services. the project also looked at the future as children on the autism spectrum grow up and transition out of schools into the broader community. also today, if you want to improve your heart health, don't follow old advice. a study from the cleveland clinic shows half of americans try to diet in the past year but only 5 percent followed the mediterranean diet. that's the diet with the most evidence to show it's good for your heart. it includes fruits vegetables whole grains, nuts and fish

>> pennsylvania famous ground hog punxsutawney phil predicted six more weeks of winter. yes, sorry monica. german legend says if he sees his shadow on february seconds winter will last another six weeks. if not spring comes early. because of today's gray skies phil's prediction was decide ahead of time by the group on gobbler's knob. why do you do it ahead of time. >> i never remember him not predicting six more weeks of winter. that would be a shock. >> let's see what cecily is predicting. >> time for accuweather with our resident meteorologist cecily tynan. >> did you see your shadow. >> i went right back into my home this morning, buried myself. didn't want to get outside because it was nasty, we had the rain and slush and storm tracker 6 live double scan showing that we still have a

few lingering snow showers. burlington county into ocean county now you can see this batch of some snow showers working just to the south of route 72 chatsworth. it's heading towards the garden state parkway. this is the same area that got some of the back end snow between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock this afternoon as the storm system was pulling out and the cold air was catching up to the moisture. so adam posted this on my facebook page from toms river and you can see the snow really coating the trees falling down pretty heavily this afternoon and now the problem is the falling temperatures with the winds. the winds are howling gusting to 41 miles an hour out of the northwest and philadelphia and reading, 38 in allentown 43 miles an hour wind gusts in the poconos and 37 miles an hour wind gusts in millville and what these winds are doing is pulling down some very cold air. the winds will be with us right through the evening hours. so, the national weather service has posted a wind advisory for the southern half of our viewing area until midnight for wind gusts up to

45 miles per hour. the good news is about the winds the winds will be drying off a lot of roads. the problem with the wind, though, is that it's making it feel very cold and it is creating those wind chill factors. feels like 23 degrees in philadelphia, 19 in wilmington, 12 in reading. the wind chill in allentown is four and the wind chill in the poconos 2 degrees below zero and it's going to be a cold night and a very cold day tomorrow. so, satellite6 along with action radar showing that low pressure that brought us the rain and the snow, little less than an inch of snow in philadelphia, up to 8-inchs in parts of northern northampton county. that's moving away from us. now we have high pressure that's right over saint louis. so, this is what's creating that wind tunnel effect out of the northwest. that high pressure, though, will be building over us tomorrow and that will bring us a lot of sunshine but it will be brutally cold. so, future tracker showing the wind chill as we head through the overnight hours early tomorrow morning at 6:30 generally in the single digits. winds will be easing in the afternoon but afternoon highs

stuck in the upper 20's. so, wind chills in the afternoon will be in the teens and low 20's and temperatures will remain below freezing. so, you really have to be careful for the icy spots tonight and really through the day tomorrow. so, the five day at 5:00 showing tomorrow brisk and colder, the high only 28 degrees. we have a nice recovery on wednesday. we bump it up to 46 degrees. on thursday drop down to 36 with the possibility of some snow and then behind that system on friday, cold again 26 degrees. on saturday we bump it up to 38 degrees and sunday a possibility of rain or snow. adam will talk about that coming up in the accuweather 7-day forecast. don't blame adam, don't blame me blame the grounds hog. >> it's phil's fault. >> punxsutawney phil. >> is he on twitter? i'm not sure. >> facebook. much more to come on the next half hour of "action news" at 5:00 a grandmother on the way to work in the midst of a snowstorm becomes a hero for the mayor of toledo ohio. >> especially delivery on a

joseph jaime apody rick williams and monica malpass. >> hello again. here's what's happening on "action news" monday night. slush today, ice tonight. plunging temperatures could turn wet highways parking lots and sidewalks into dangerously slick surfaces. also the storm that gave us the glancing blow buried the midwest and is now burying new england in its seconds major storm in six days there. also it's a fresh start for navy facility that was the scene of a mass shooting. >> now the details. we have had the snow, slush and rain today. now you should be on the alert for ice tonight. whether there was enough snow for shoveling or if it was just deep slush and deep puddles there's a good chance all that moisture will remain and turn to ice tonight and it could be called a flash freeze with black ice that can form in minutes. now, the action cam is looking live right now at the westbound schuylkill expressway near city avenue. a hundred 50 penndot crews have been out salting area highways in case this afternoon. they're off the rod right now

for the rush hour but about 40 of them will be available again through the night to treat any icy spots that develop. now, let's go to the "action news" big board. meteorologist adam joseph has an idea on what's ahead tonight. hi adam. >> yeah, monica, if you have the sidewalks driveways and walkways with that slush and standing water that has the best chance of turning quickly into that flash freeze of solid ice. the main roads like the schuylkill, the expressways they're fairing pretty well. they've dried out because the cars are constantly traveling on them and we have those winds helping them to dry out and they've been heavily salted. really it's where you see the slush, that's where we have the concern. 36 in philadelphia right now 23 new york city, two below in burlington but you factor in the wind and you can see that storm right there deepening just to the east of boston. we have those winds funneling in around that low and that is dropping wind chills to nine in new york city, 23 philadelphia, 18 below in syracuse, 22 below in burlington so this storm means business with its cold air that is flooding in as it is

strengthening and departing. so that flash freeze we're expecting a 10-degree drop in temperature in a matter of a couple hours. again it's untreated surfaces with the slush and the standing water that would freeze over, especially the driveways and the sidewalks. if it looks wet to you as you're driving, just assume that it is icy and take extreme caution this evening and overnight. and by tomorrow morning we're going to be looking at wind chills in philadelphia zero to five north and west, between zero and five below zero but this arctic air doesn't last long. we'll talk about a warmup and another chance for snow before another arctic outbreak for the end of the week coming up in that full accuweather 7-day forecast. rick. >> all right adam we'll check back in later. thank you. while the last winter storm, the latest one steered clear of the tri-state area this time it did hammer the midwest and new england with tons of snow. chicago got more than 19-inches of snow in about a day. the fifth largest blizzard to ever hit the city. cars were buried drivers were

stranded and express ways were shut down due crashes. this morning public transit suffered delays for more than an hour. a similar scene in massachusetts as a storm delivers a seconds round of snow. >> the storm delivered a second rounds of snow to an already hard hit area. by this time tomorrow boston could actually total 34-inches of snow. that is the snowiest one week that that city's history. >> marci gonzalez joins us life. we have a fresh coating of snow here. earlier we were pelted with freezing rain but as you just mentioned this is nothing compared to what they're dealing with elsewhere. from nebraska new england it looks and feels -- >> the wind blowing in my face the sands and snow. well just like february. punxsutawney phil already keeping good on his promise. >> six more weeks of winter.

>> reporter: with another winter storm impacting 100 million people today. >> people need help. i have time, i have free advertisement thank goodness for friendly neighbors in chicago and detroit where this turned out to be one of the biggest snowstorms on record. that's where some people got creative with their commutes but most had a bit less fun on the roads. dozens of cars involved in this crash in chicago that brought interstate 294 to a stand still. and in new york city, freezing rain iced over subway tracks leaving some riders stuck on board. >> a lot of people crowded. close to two hours. very very stuffy. >> reporter: in massachusetts and other parts of the northeast still buried after last week's storms, round two is now moving through. we've already picked up near 6-inches here in situate and they are rushing to dig out in boston ahead of tomorrow's super bowl victory parade. >> we want to make sure that the entire city is up and running tomorrow.

so we're out there with plows. >> reporter: the storm is not having as much of an impact in new york but as you might expect it's having a very big impact at the airports where more than 4,000 flights were canceled today across the country. live in new york, marci gonzalez, channel6 "action news." >> okay, marls see, thank -- marcy thank you. slick roads may have been a factor in an overnight accident involving a philadelphia police car. the cruiser went out of control shortly after midnight on byberry road near academy. the vehicle struck some parked cars before coming to rest near a fence. the officer suffered a minor hand injury. >> well, the mayor of toledo ohio remains in critical condition after crashing his car during yesterday's storm. 70-year-old michael collins suffered a heart attack and then struck a utility pole on his way home from a news conference about the snow. evelyn johnson and another man broke the window of the suv when they saw the unresponsive driver. >> i just jumped in the car

turned it, put it in park, turned it off and 911 was like you need pull him out and start cpr. >> well, the pair performed cpr until medics arrived and it was only then that they learned the victim was their mayor. johnson continued on to her job at a fast food restaurant. the mayor's chief of staff personally called to update her on the mayor's condition and to thank her. also in toledo this weekend a city police officer died while clearing snow reportedly with a snowblower. it was a poignant day in washington, d.c. the building that was the scene of a mass shooting 17 month ago reopened. officials broke a bottle of champagne to mark the redesigned work facility that used to be known as building 197 at the washington navy yard. in september 2013, 12 people were killed and four hurt when contractor aaron alexis went on a shooting rampage there. the building has undergone a $63 million renovation that changed the layout and the look. it has also been renamed but

workers say the spirit of the unit is intact. >> when you start seeing people since we were in the building but it's good to be back. >> well, the old entrance is now a memorial to those killed. there are also those who say they still can't return to the building because of what happened there. while other workers say they feel blessed to be back together again. >> a robber not only stole money from a south philadelphia food market he stole the whole cash register. surveillance video captured the crime january 17th here at the red sun food mart on the 2200 block of south 12th street. police say the suspect acted like he was buying something but then he walked behind the counter and grabbed the cash register. he ran outside opened the register took the cash and ran. if you know anything about this robbery, please call philadelphia police. >> time for another check of the traffic situation as folks try to get home on a monday night. >> matt pelman in the "action news" traffic center.

the bus had its roof sheered off today when it hit a tree on kingsway in central london. five passengers were hurt in the accident. three went to the hospital while the others were treated at the scene. none of the injuries is believed to be serious fortunately. after the crash the entire roof was found laying in the street. the accident tied up central london for hours. traffic already bad in london. >> yeah, really. scary stuff. meteorologist adam joseph here. we'll get what we might be experiencing a flash freeze. >> we had a lot of melting today and a lot of slush on the roadways, sidewalks driveways and anything that's still standing at slush or is wet is freezing up now as those temperatures are dropping so if something looks wet assume it's icy as you go out this evening. >> wow. >> as we take a look at double scan live radar we have a couple of snow showers and sleet pellets passing through parts of new jersey. the rest of us starting to clear the clouds out west of philadelphia but there's one little last gasp of some snow showers and again some sleet showers toward lower banks south of speed well,

chatsworth but they're starting to fall apart as they sink to the south. but anything that does fall from the sky will create some slick spots especially near 70 and the split of 72 as you head towards long beach island. here is the problem. temperatures are dropping fast to the north and west. 21 in allentown, 28 in reading as well as lancaster. it's still above freezing in philadelphia and with those whipping winds it's kind of a positive-negative. the winds are so strong that they're helping to dry the ground out. it's like a big blow drier so to speak but they're also dropping those wind chills. it's four right now in allentown. feels like 12 in reading, two below in the poconos. 19 in wilmington and these numbers will drop close to the goose egg of zero in many areas by tomorrow morning. high pressure is coming in. it's a fresh arctic high and with that low really deepening in boston, they saw another foot of snow today, it is wrapping winds out of the north-northwest but that high as it settles in late tonight early tomorrow the winds will

relax some late tonight and for your tuesday. a lot of sunshine with this high but cold, 28 with wind chills near 20 in the afternoon and then another clipper system arrives late wednesday, early thursday. this is another very impressive arctic boundary. ahead of it we warm it up to 46 on wednesday. so, any slush that becomes rock solid tonight, if you weren't able the remove it off of your driveway or sidewalk, you're going have to wait until wednesday to try to break it apart. tonight that flash freeze we'll watch. again minute it is secondary roadways, the sidewalks, the driveways. negative five to five above for your wind chill with air temperatures between eight and 16. and the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, only 28 tomorrow but that arctic air only lingers for one day. we have a progressive pattern meaning things move in and out pretty quickly. a nice recovery wednesday at 48 but early on thursday, that's when the next front arrives and it could be in time for that morning rush to get a band of snow that quickly moves through.

it wouldn't last morning but it's the timing and we could see maybe an inch or two around here early on thursday morning at the worst thursday afternoon we begin to dry out at 36. and then another one-day shot of arctic air on friday of 26 degrees before we bounce back another 12 degrees on saturday and then on sunday a chance of some rain and snow is likely as another boundary pushes through and we're still below normal come monday at 36 degrees. so, just take it slow out there this evening and bundle up 'cause those numbers are dropping pretty quickly. >> okay. >> thanks, adam. a man in michigan thought he had a great idea for some unique snow fun but he got in trouble for it. he put on a pair of skis and hooked himself to the back of a vehicle right there. you see it. he was cruising along until a local news station spotted him and broadcast it live. the mayor was on the air saw it, wasn't amused says police should be called and that's what happened. a driver was pulled over moments later. they weren't laughing. >> uh-uh.

>> ♪♪ >> "action news." delaware valley's leading news program. with ducis rodgers meteorologist cecily tynan and jim gardner. >> ♪♪ >> mon night it's jail time for a confessed ringleader of a main line drug operation and a philadelphia police officer surrenders on charges of telling a lie. but the big story on "action news" tonight is big concern over plunging temperatures and a flash refreeze. where there is untreated moisture on the ground from the wintry mix we had early today, it will likely turn to ice. temperatures are plummeting and won't even climb to the

freezing mark tomorrow and that raises the prospect of treacherous roads and sidewalks or even are own drive way. "action news" reporter sarah bloomquist is along the schuylkill expressway but first let's go to meteorologist cecily tynan and cecily is live at the "action news" big board. >> any slush will be freezing solid tonight. storm tracker 6 live double scan showing us the low pressure that brought us the snow and rain is off the coast of cape cod. it's moving away from us. we have high pressure building in but the combination of those two really bringing the winds out of the northwest. whipping winds, you can hear the winds howling. we have wind gusts right now 46 miles per hour in philadelphia and allentown wind gusts of 38 miles per hour millville 39 and reading the current wind gusts 37 miles per hour. and those winds are pulling down some very cold air. so the national weather service has issued a winter weather advisory until midnight tonight. not for anything falling from the sky but the fact that those plunging temperatures
