northern you neck already, 48 in allentown and 44 in reading and 50 in millville and 48 in wildwood, a high of 60 in philadelphia today and at the shore temperatures hovering around 50 degrees, the 24 hour change, a good 25 degrees or so above yesterday at this time. philadelphia to the north and west. 19 degrees warmer in millville and 15 degrees warmer at the shore and even the poconos a change of 23 degrees in 24 hours. overnight patchy clouds and seasonable, low temperatures 29 to 33 degrees and with that wind much of the rain that fell will really start to dry up on the pavement, if there is any puddles left over there could be patchy black ice and the numbers won't be dropping well below the freezing point overnight. sun and clouds to the north and west, and a little breezy at times at 14 miles per hour, and high temperatures cooler than

today at 45 degrees, as the weak front moves through and high pressure comes through on thursday, we'll have a chilly northwesterly breeze with temperatures dipping to around 48 degrees and the high will break down and a warm front passes through as the end of the week and pushes the temperatures back up for the upcoming weekend. as we look at the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, sunshine tomorrow and temperature 45 degrees, it steps down a bit on thursday with a bit a breeze. it's brisk at 45 and clouds increase with a warm front on friday, no precipitation whatsoever with temperatures at 44 degrees and behind that temperatures really rise over the weekend, it's very windy on saturday, sun and clouds and more clouds late in the day, maybe a brief shower in the evening 58 degrees and we stay very balmy here sunny and breezy with a high temperature of 56 and stay in the 50s on monday and it comes with a lot of

americans spend more than a billion on vitamin c supplements, but consumer report says that could be a mistake. the common cold can leave you sniffling and sneezing and aching for a week or longer. you may be tempted to try anything sooner, think twice before loading up on vitamin c supplements, chances are you are already too late. >> taking vitamin c supplements may shorten your cold a day or so but taking it after you are sick won't help. >> and it won't prevent a cold in the first place.

taking high doses of vitamin c can cause other health problems, for example men that take excessive amounts are twice as likely to develop kidney stones and consuming more than 200 milligrams of vitamin c a day could cause stom track cramps, 90 milligrams for men and 75 milligrams for women a day to maintain good health. that is the equivalent of an orange. >> some of the best foods for vitamin c include red and green peppers, citrus fruits and kiwi and broccoli and for those colds, get the quick fix, choose over the counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. and try throat lozenges or honey

for soar throats and get rest and drink plenty of liquids and get a good humidifier. according to the national institutes of health, that includes keep chemotherapy. i am taking a lot of vitamin c this winter. eat the fresh fruits now. that will do it for "action news" at 4:00, for brian taff, rick williams, alicia vitarelli i'm sharrie williams. join us for a full hour of "action news" at 10:00 on ph almost 17. now here is monica malpass with a look ahead at 5:00. >> coming up next, a 180 turn for mother nature after a bitterly cold weekend heavy wind and rain is downing power lines. we have live team coverage, and

unless you have allergies. then your eyes may see it differently. only flonase is approved to relieve both itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray can say that. when we breathe in allergens our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance. flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. complete allergy relief or incomplete. let your eyes decide. flonase. 6>1 changes everything.
