>> it's the wind out of the north that drives through you especially if you are standing in the shade. how it feeled, 28 in philadelphia and 27 in new york city and only teens in northern new england and quebec, but things are about to change for the warmer. high pressure is to the north near syracuse but the high slips to the southeast and east and the clouds move in and thicken up and that sends warmer air in for the upcoming weekend, for this evening it's clear and cold and 30 at 7:00 and dropping to the upper 20s at 8 and 9:00. and the breeze starts to ease in the overnight hours. we are not looking at a deep windchill. 37 in philadelphia and 40s in the ohio valley. that comes in tomorrow. and you can see a good chunk of the country in the 50s, 60s and 70s. that is all heading in our

direction just in time for the upcoming weekend sharrie. i'll show you the number in the full accuweather forecast. lets start to make the outdoor plans now. >> i'm doing it now. adam thank you. today we get our first look at the 2016 philadelphia phillies, pitchers and catchers held their first orlando workout in florida. and jeff skversky is live in clearwater. some of these coaches were seeing these guys for the first time too. >> absolutely sharrie. who is that guy? who is that guy? even the phillies manager wanted to have the guys making sure they were in their jerseys with names on the back and number, because there is nearly 50 new players in camp. there is somewhat of a different vibe with pete mccannon in charge. >> say hello to pete mccannon he has been in the game for nearly

50 years, a coach, a bench coach, a player. this is the first time as a manager in spring training. and with him in charge there is a different feeling in the clubhouse, a better energy that dates back to last year when he took over for ryan sandberg but the 63-year-old doesn't want to take credit for the attitude and energy, he believes it's the nature of the competition with young players trying to win jobs. >> players are not stupid, they know there are jobs available and things they can do to make an impression. and we talked to them at the end of the last year to let them know as i have always said are you auditioning all the time. i don't care what you did last year. it's what have you done for me lately. the players sense that, they know there are jobs available

especially in the pitching department. everybody is real eager to though what they can do. >> who stood out for day one pitchers and catchers. he has an interesting take on that and we'll hear from him again coming up at 5:00. beautiful day here in clearwater, florida. jeff skversky channel 6 "action news." >> thank you jeff. rubbing it in on us. >> it seems cruel we went from adam's forecast to jeff in florida. such is life. lets change gears again and get you caught up with the "action news" traffic report. >> matt pellman is standing by with the update. >> we'll let the cruelty continue as i deliver the traffic report, unpleasant news. on the vine street expressway a whole lot of traffic this afternoon. eastbound is especially jammed across town from the schuylkill out to 95. the reason is we have extra construction this afternoon on 95 northbound in the ongoing work zone at girard and those

crews are now cleared out but gave us a sizable delay northbound but has spilled here back on the vine and the westbound side of the vine backing up through the schuylkill expressway, and this is the blue route 476, at villanova, a crash in the southbound lanes but is cleared out of the way but still a 10 minute delay. a couple of accidents in kalin township, one on the 30 bypass approaching reeceville road and on business 30, lincoln highway a wreck at municipal drive. and 15 minute delays on the warminster, west trenton and doylestown regional rail lines because of track work. lets grab the ipad and do the commuter report on this thursday almost friday afternoon. and after a rough ride on 422, the volume is not bad but look

religious lead toward question someone's faith. >> he said something like maybe donald trump is not christian and he is questioning my faith and i am a christian and i'm proud of it. >> pope francis saying he has not seen his whole border plan and until then he is giving him the benefit of the doubt and trump quick to is add this, if and when the vatican is attacked by isis, he can only hope that donald trump would have been president. no response from the pope on that one. meantime in south carolina, pastors and religious leaders today endorsing ted cruz for president. an interesting day on the campaign trail. >> each one more interesting than the next. president obama is set to take a trip that no u.s. president has made since before world war ii, the president and first lady will travel to cuba on march 21st and march 22nd.

wide and teens in the poconos and a typical winter like day as we get towards the end of the february. however if you like to think things on the warmer side as we are looking ahead here to daylight savings time beginning that is only 24 days away and that spins the clocks ahead one hour, and 31 days away, that is when spring begins, just about a month from now. if you think of memorial day and the shore, that is still 102 days away before you park your beach chair in the sand. as we look at satellite and radar, high pressure is in control right now with a lot of sunshine and clear skies, and high clouds are beginning to stream in from the west, that is a warm front that pushes through here during the day tomorrow and for tonight it stays clear and cold and the winds will ease some overnight tonight. and below normal 13 in allentown and 14 in reading and 21 in philadelphia and 17 in millville and 20s at the shore. as we look at future tracker

a florida walgreens customer jumped in action confronting a would be robber. surveillance video caught the encounter on valentine's day and he was a trained fighter and took down the suspect and knocked him unconscious and waited for police arrived. west said he did it to protect his girlfriend who worked in the pharmacy. >> right place at the right time. >> a new facebook photo album is part of the investigation in newcastle county. these are images of stolen items recovered by police, they posted them with the hopes of getting them back to their rightful owners. you can look at thee these itemd can't the newcastle police to start the process of getting it back.

garden. but cherry road to the north may be a better bet. crash on 422 eastbound in the pottstown area, and off to the side but still slowing. and don't forget that the westbound lanes of 422 are closing at route 100 each night this week for construction starting at 9:00. high street would be a better bet. and the bypass and business 30 in kalin township are returning but look for a wreck along route 10 near loghouse road. we'll check it again in the 5:00 hour. meteorologist, adam joseph, is standing by with the exclusive accuweather forecast next.

all right meteorologist,

adam joseph taking us all to school once again today. >> this is the question i posed 10 minutes ago. how fast do 95% of snowflakes fall to the ground. a half mile to 4 miles per hour, a range of 4 to 8 miles per hour or all roughly 10 miles per hour. >> it can't be c. >> because everything can't be the same. i'm eliminating c that is all i've got. >> i'm going with b on this one. you are both kind of wrong because you didn't pick a, a range of about a half mile to four miles per hour that equals 1 to 6 feet per second and patty was the first one to get it right. she says a, her husband said b. so patty congratulations, dinner is on your husband tonight. as we look at the almanac for today 30 was the high

temperature before 4:00 this afternoon below the normal of 44 degrees, today we started at 33 degrees and almost a 70 degree difference from the record high to the record low on this date. winds continue to pull out of the north-northwesterly direction and 26 is what it feeled like in trenton and allentown and 28 in philadelphia and upper 20s in southern new jersey and delaware. high pressure is between buffalo and binghamton new york and that is slipping to the south tomorrow and to the east and that allows a warm front to push in and you can see the leading edge of that warm front in the form of clouds and they thick and up here at the end of the week on friday. it is clear and cold and temperatures below normal by 7 degrees, a 13 in the suburbs and the north wind relaxing to 3 to 6 miles per hour overnight. a warm front approaching from the south and west and any sun

will be early in the morning and then the clouds take over the entire day with the high temperature around 41 degrees for philadelphia and it will be below that in the upper 30s through much of the area tomorrow and as that warm front blasts through here on saturday, we'll be in between the cold front and warm front, that is called the warm sector with the winds 12 to 20 miles per hour pulls the temperature to 60 for the weekend. the exclusive accuweather forecast, shows we quickly go cloudy here tomorrow at 41 and then a warm southwesterly wind and 60 on saturday. we take a snapshot of future tracker 6 at 2:30, upper 50s for allentown and trenton and 61 in wilmington and dover and even at the shore, the winds are southwesterly, it will be in the upper 50s there. we stay in the upper 50s on sunday and morning sun giving way to afternoon clouds and maybe an evening shower and still pleasant on monday.

high of 54 degrees and we still watch that system late on tuesday, but definitely on wednesday, and that precipitation type depends on the track, it's all over the place, but at this point the temperatures 44 in philadelphia, so right now it's more gearing towards rain for a lot of us with some snow in some areas north and west. but we'll fine tune that past the weekend, just focus on the weekend and get out and enjoy that. >> all do. >> thank you. what's the deal? is next, we look at the best vacuums on the market. and tune in to abc for a tgit lineup. tensions run high as each student tries to return to normalcy, and we learn about analise's past and you can tweet along with others using #~

>> some vacuums seem to be no match for your carpets. >> ultra plush and ultra soft pose a problems for vacuums. luxury carpets are marketed as ultra plush and ultra soft. they feel great under foot but they can challenge your vacuum. they say that carpets like this

car he is from shaw is so thick that vacuums can't move freely back and forth. >> the vacuum creates such a tight feel are you unable to move it. and some vacuums are impossible to move even with leaning it all of think body weight he could not get it to budge. they recommend specific vacuums. consumer reports tried some out. >> we found vacuums easier to move, but you wants a vacuum that works well. they recommend this $400 kenmorey elite canister. this hoover elite at 180 is a consumer reports best buy, but before you go out and buy a new vacuum, another solution is try to raise the power head to a higher setting, if that is not

an option, try to adjust the air flow that may be enough to get your vacuum moving. consumer reports says raising the head may reduce cleaning power and you may have to go over the same spot to remove the dirt. there is another option, it costs more and is quiet but better on carpets. >> that will do it for "action news" at 4:00, for sharrie williams, adam joseph and alicia vitarelli, i'm brian taff. join us tonight and every night for a full hour of "action news" at 10:00 on phl 17. now here are rick williams and monica malpass with a look ahead at 5:00. >> coming up next at 5:00, philadelphia police are investigating a deadly late night ambush, the suspect now in custody. the mummers are heading to manayunk to celebrate mardi gras, the boost that local
