lanes of the schuylkill that's cleared out of there just a bit. vine street expressway we'll show was that looks like. those eastbound lanes are nice and slow. jumping offer the schuylkill as you make your way up to 95 because of the slow traffic on 95. so, just a slow commute out there overall because of the wet roads. few things to talk about in the neighborhoods. lincoln drive northbound at rittenhouse street, we have an accident to report. abington township easton road and old welsh road another one to report to you out there. providence township pine town road and eagle view road we have an accident as well and taking a look at the area bridges because those are affected by the wet roads, too, you can see speeds pretty normal on the ben franklin bridge right now unfortunately we're not seeing too much volume out there. other area bridges are slower. again, the volume pretty light on those bridges right now. the 42 freeway, this is right at creek road, we had some debris. you can see it's off to the side of the road. now that was in the center of the road just awhile ago but that's been pushed off the road and again not giving us much of a problem right now. we'll keep an eye on things and bring you an update in the 5 o'clock hour.

up to 62 tomorrow so it will feel much warmer with some of those isolated showers around especially around the lunchtime hour. a lot of clouds and maybe before the sun sets, five, 6, 7 o'clock you could see some brightening to the sky or a little peek of sun or two. then a warm front will be drifting through here on wednesday early morning fog, a couple of showers around as well. 70 degrees. so, a brief warmup before this cold front slides through on thursday to drop the temperature at the end of the week. in fact, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, it is warmer tomorrow at 62 with that spotty shower late morning early afternoon, maybe a few glimpses of that sun before that sun sets after 7 o'clock. and then morning fog on wednesday, an afternoon shower likely, could be some brightening here or there of 70 degrees. behind that front we're back down to the 50's for thursday and friday, so on saint patrick's day a lot of clouds, it's breezy with a shower or two around. same thing for friday.
