>> i'm brian taff. and the big story is what else? the return of the champs, who are emotionally and literally flying high today. the "action news" team is out covering all the festivities honoring the wildcats. lets bring you back to the airport. sara bloomquist is on wildcat watch. >> reporter: well, that is right the wildcats are touching down here at philadelphia international airport as they make their way back home to villanova. the police are setting the stage on the runway as they prepare for this. we thought it would happen close toward 4:00 now we hear more like 5:00 the planes should arrive and they will taxi out on to the runway and tour buss will pick up the players and the rest of the entourage and the fire department will be doing some type of water arch maybe over the planes or buses. lets go to video from houston, as the team set off for home on

board these buses with a motorcycle escort. they are expected to get the same treatment on out to the main line. students are assembling to meet with the new national champions. we spoke to natalee, she brought her son mj here, she is a graduate and came to the airport to watch the team's arrival. >> we made the trip we are die hard villanova fans. my whole family are villanova grads, we are jay wright fans and nova fans in every kind of way. >> what did you think with the buzzer beater shot. three points, they won. what did you do? >> we screamed and yells and i think we woke up the entire neighborhood. we were so quited. the chance of the last shot going in it was amazing and we were beyond thrilled. >> yes, go cats and go nova.

cats win! cats win! >> there it is cats win! cats win! cats win! . we are here at the philadelphia-airport awaiting the arrival of the champions. >> just awesome. we hope the water display doesn't freeze out there. it's so cold. it's going to make it. celebration on campus is going on since the final buzzer. and as soon as the team arrives you better believe that party will kick back into high gear. students have already gathered and the school will hold an official welcome home for the team than is scheduled to start in about an hour. lets go live there now where walter perez is right there with the students. >> reporter: hey guys as you mentioned hundreds of people have already gathered. but before i go further.

i want to share something. i am involved in sports my whole life. i played sports and covered sports. in case you didn't see last night that was the most jaw dropping thing i have ever seen my whole life in sports and it's so much fun to cover these cats through the post season and through last night's win and coming into the week ahead. a great group of guys. jay wright is such a gentlemen and i have done several interviews with him and i couldn't be happier for him and the area as a whole. they got the win and now you need to get the apparel at the university store. apparently nova nation is the country that doesn't sleep. these villanova fans were waiting in line before the university store opened at 8:00 a.m. >> slept there for two hours this morning. it was really cold. >> all it took to get these fans to forego a good night sleep and

sleep out in the cold was villanova winning a national championship in great fashion. and she bought her baby wildcat. >> we are so quited. >> ron was there showing off his classic apparel since 1985. >> the bill porter years, the 85 championship and now this. >> not surprisingly the university store national championship gear is selling quickly but store manager ryan schneider says don't worry they are now just getting warmed up. >> the second wave will probably in tomorrow and thursday. a whole bunch of products coming in for the national champ, along with memorabilia like glasses and pendents and pins.

>> simply put nova nation did not get much sleep last night. once again the big welcome home celebration here at the villanova football field and we'll bring it to you live on 6 abc and on 6abc.com. reporting live from the football field at villanova. walter perez, channel 6 "action news." >> all right walter you are right about a this team a joy to watch. standup coach and players all the way around. the celebration of the nova national championship is going to continue all week. today the city announced the plans to honor the wildcats. >> including a pared down market street this friday. vernon odom is live at city hall where the parade ends with one huge rally. >> reporter: good evening sharrie and brian, the word from city hall tonight break out the flags and bands and fix a parade. they are anticipating here in just 69 hours, the city will celebrate this victory by

villanova right here in dillworth park. >> the villanova parade will kick off friday at 20th and market. and then proceed five blocks east down market into dill worth park where the fountains and tulips are flourishing. this has been in the works since friday in case they came through and they did. >> we are happy they won. they are in southeast philadelphia and happy to host it. >> these are scenes from the 85 celebration. they took down georgetown to win the mens title that year. and the tab this time for extra services like police deployment will be picked up by the university. and initial talks and planning began on friday before the reason for the celebration was a real thing. >> we want folks to come into the city whether it's their town or a neighborhood in the city.

we want them to feel welcome and comfortable to come into philadelphia to help the economy and celebrate big events we are all proud of. >> reporter: well, the added cost to city hall is estimated to be somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000. hail to the champions. i'm vernon odom, channel 6 "action news." >> all right vernon thank you. it's time now for the "action news" traffic report and time to check in with matt pellman. >> lets go it matt. we are not sure which route they will take from the airport to campus, it could cause delays even with a police escort. >> we have the delays already on the route they are likely to take. this is i-95 southbound side come ago way from the airport coming down toward the blue route. they will moek most likely take the blue route to the

interchange. on the southbound side of 95 we are moving slowly coming away from the airport heading into the sunshine. sun glare delays and afternoon volume contributing and once the police escort rolls through these delays are likely to get even heavier. on the northbound side of 95 they are plenty heavy from task err to cotman this afternoon. it's a stop and go ride with speeds of 10 miles per hour. and slower on the westbound schuylkill from philadelphia to belmont where we had an earlier accident and a crash in middletown township, along 352, the fire and police are there helping you through the accident scene. this is 422, westbound side bumper to bumper from oaks to royersford where there is a crash. and on the eastbound side, a crash on arm and hammer boulevard and royersford police activity for the accidents. 422 is not the best choice,

ridge pike or 724 are some alternates. lets grab the ipad and do the commuter report. plank road has a pothole in the road one of many out there right now. we'll keep watching for that bus coming up in a bit. and be back soon. >> thank you. and we are celebrating the wildcats historic win on 6abc.com you can relive the highlights of the game and hear the unforgettable radio call and final moments. and see dozens of nova nation photos and videos from players and fans. >> hundreds and thousands of you shared your celebrations last night on the "action news" facebook page and twitter feed. we invite you to keep sending them in use #6abcaction. and be sure to follow us at 6 abc and like us on facebook just search 6 abc action news.

>> we were looking at the people outside of the book store this morning because they were contending with snowflakes. lets head to adam joseph tracking the weather. >> this is not the last time this week we'll be bundled up or see the possibility of snowflakes. a live look from temple university and william penn it's sun filled and not a cloud in the sky and it remains chilly. this snapshot from bala cynwyd from the "action news" weather page, from the april snowflakes that accumulated briefly on some of the mulch, it didn't last long and melted quickly but a painful reminder that winter did end a couple of weeks ago. 42 in allentown un42 in reading and 43 dover and millville as well as the shore points, but we continue to feel that wind out

of the northwesterly direction, it feels like 42 in allentown unfreezing in lancaster and 36 in philadelphia and 36 in millville and atlantic city 37 that is all it feels. but high pressure to the west and north that is what supplied that cold wind during the day but also the brilliant sunshine. this high is going to continue to drift overhead tonight than will relax the wind but that is a bad combination with a clear sky and an arctic type high pressure from canada. because it is going to plummet the temperatures to the north and west. record ties possibly at 18 in allentown and 19 in reading would be record breaking and 26 wilmington and 21 in millville. and this will be a killer for most of those flowers and the fruit trees if they are not protected tonight. tonight will be much colder than it was last night. freeze warnings are up 10:00

p.m. until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning for all the areas where the growing season has begun basically south of the lehigh valley and allentown and reading and lancaster you'll have temperatures in the teens overnight. near 40 today in philadelphia and 37 in allentown and sunshine in the morning and high clouds increase as warmer air starts to push back in. so filtered sun tomorrow afternoon with temperatures right around 50 degrees, the four day at 4:00 forecast, our high tomorrow should hit 54 with the milder afternoon after a bitter cold start and it's rainy, warmer, 61 and even a thunderstorm here on thursday, before it cools back down on friday and breezy and if you are heading down into center city for the parade bundle up, because the winds feel chilly on friday with the windchill and on saturday, another impressive

cold snap comes in from the north, 45 and 28 again for the low saturday night and we could see a pretty good amounts of rain and snow showers mixing in here for the upcoming weekend. so i tweeted out the snow word is back in our forecast. >> all right. thank you adam. >> you sure? >> i'm just saying that. >> lets go back live along the main line shall we ark live picture here inside of villanova stadium as adam says it's not maybe the warmest day to be outside but the best day to welcome home a champion. we are waiting for villanova to arrive back in the area. we'll continue to keep watch on that. id that. but i'd like to keep being id terrible at golf for as long as i can. he's just happier when he's playing. but he's terrible. for the strength and energy to keep doing what you love,

national championship. kris jenkins gave villanova their second national title. >> a kid that moved to d.c. and to have this opportunity to hit the game winning shot from a senior from was unselfish and gave up the ball that could have been the final shot in his career and i'm happy it turned out that way. >> what is going through your mind when that is going through the net. >> did that just happen? >> is this real life? we all piled on him and it was great emotion. >> after the game jenkins also said i think every shot i throw up it going in and that was no different. >> it's great to seem confident but not overconfident. a hungry, humble squad. and they are well coached. jay wright said they were coachable kids and wanted to be coached. a truly likeable squad.

ryan fanon called the shot during the live radio shot on 610 a.m. listen to this when the ball left jenkins hands. >> two seconds to go and jenkins to win it. he made it! he made the shot at the buzzer! cats win it all! cats win can all! >> our jeff skversky spoke one-on-one with jay wright who had not watched the replay of the famous shot. so jeff took a moment to show it to him. >> great screen by daniel and kris gets into the play and bam wow. >> what is going through your mind watching this. i'm thinking there is going to be time left maybe .7.

>> you seem so calm -- >> i know it's my job. i have people -- 18 to 22-year-olds out of their minds and i never actually heard that it's over there is no time left. >> i think you won jay. >> i got it now. i got it now. >> said he had to remain the adult on the floor because the team was going crazy. >> he was calm, cool and collected. those word s describe him all season long. >> the party lasted well into the morning and the school canceled classes today perhaps wisely and not many people probably attempted to do their homework last night. jeff is live now. police were also out in full force last night. >> thousands of fans were out on lancaster avenue early this morning after the game and 270 officers took part in this security effort it was led by radnor police who said that villanova students should be

proud. they were well behaved and only a few incidents. police estimate 10 to 15,000 villanova fans packed lancaster avenue after last night's impressive win. radnor police arrested eight people for minor offenses. >> small fires and shrubbery that was removed and two assaults and one dui. and a couple of things thrown at a fire truck. with villanova winning that made it even better because dealing with people that are celebrating are a lot better than dealing with people that are disappointed. >> a more eye opening number may be the 37 injured but most of those were treated on scene as the university set up its own triage. >> you hear oh, my gosh there was 37 injuries, that is not the case at all. we had physicians on site to avoid a trip to the er. >> students say the celebration

was a once in a lifetime opportunity and while frigid after the game the adrenalin of a national championship is a moment they will never forget. >> it was insane, i didn't know what to say everyone was screaming and running and i didn't know what to do so i just ran out. >> everybody came out and it was completely breathless, people were screaming and climbing on everything in sight. it was unreal. >> as you can see behind me lancaster avenue is again bustling with activity as people make their way into the stadium for the second celebration. i'm live on the villanova campus, chad pradelli, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. the wildcats are on this week's cover of "sports illustrated" with the headline, super nova it captures the moment that kris jenkins game winning shot left his fingers. how they rebounded from an early

will warm quickly. for the high in philadelphia, only 44 degrees today. 16 degrees below average and today was a little more typical of what february would bring us. in fact, as we look at other numbers, 42 in new york city and 28 right now in syracuse. and freezing in burlington, vermont and boston they are still digging out from almost a half foot of snow at 36 degrees and windchilled they are pulling in from the north and even worse to look at. 17 in syracuse and 22 in burlington and 29 in boston and for us locally around 36 degrees, high pressure is to the north and west and the high brings in a clear sky overnight tonight and that settles through and relaxes the wind and a freeze warning in effect at 10:00 tonight and lasts until 9:00 tomorrow morning. again, protect the tender vegetation, the tulips and

daffodils and fruit trees small enough to cover, because those temperatures go to brutal levels killing indeed for the vegetation, because we'll go to record lows, allentown 1 degrees and 19 in reading that would be record breaking and atlantic city airport 24. all of these from 182 and wilmington and philadelphia will be shy of the record but we'll drop back into the 20s and by tomorrow afternoon high clouds coming in a little bit warmer after the cold start with temperatures into the lower and middle 50s. but we are not done with these brutally cold overnight lows or the chance of snow showers we'll talk about that coming up in the seven-day forecast. >> thank you adam. we continue to be on wildcat watch, a live look at philadelphia international airport we are awaiting the team to arrive. and their next mode of transportation is right there on the ground, the buses you see is what they will board, one plane

turning to the race for the white house now. it is primary day in wisconsin. polls there show both party front runners donald trumpp hillary clinton lagging behind their main challengers trying to close the gap with wins tonight. stephanie ramos has more from the campaign trail in madison, wisconsin. >> reporter: the candidates are crisscrossing the state in wisconsin trying to stir up support while gop insiders say that if donald trump doesn't win wisconsin tonight it will be difficult for him to clinch the nomination. voters at the polls voting

today. donald trump is not giving up on the badger state. >> people here are amazing and they don't want other countries taking their jobs. >> they say that mexico will pay to build a wall and the president calling it impractical. >> i do have to emphasize it's not just mr. trump's proposals, you are hearing concerns about mr. cruz's proposals which in some ways are just as draconian. >> if trump wins he has a chance of winning the majority of delegates, if he loses it's likely to be a contested convention. bernie sanders is ahead of hillary clinton in the polls and he is feeling confident. >> you see this bernie sanders' campaign office you would think it was busy, it's not they are out at the polls trying to get this crucial win for sanders.

>> it's very important it could make or break somebody. >> and sanders talks to voters in milwaukee, hillary clinton is nowhere near wisconsin instead making an appearance on "the view" hoping to solidify a win in the next primary state, new york. here 3.75 million people are expected to turn out to vote but because wisconsin has some of the strongest voter i.d. laws, some can't get in. >> looks even colder there than its here today. my goodness not as cold as that. >> lets get a check of the roaded now. matt pellman has the update. >> our primary problem at this point is heavy traffic on the highways this afternoon, good thing villanova has the police escort because the way it is going it's pretty congested. most likely they will come down 95 to the northbound side of the blue route, where traffic looks

like this. moving really slowly off 95 to the route 1 media bypass and southbound you are severely delays and travel time is nearly double what it should be. whether they come north or south, they will see delays and hopefully the police escort will help them get through quickly. >> not far from the old granite run mall, a crash at baltimore pike at middletown road and the fire police helping you through that area. in middletown township bucks county, there was a vehicle fire along 95 southbound side by business 1, just 14 miles per hour there and even though the fire is out. they just towed away the vehicle that was on fire earlier. both lanes just reopened past business 1 and still sluggish with speeds in the teens. just 10 miles per hour on the northbound side of 95 close to washington avenue where there is a crash on the shoulder and that delay extends the whole way

through the work zone at cotman. a slow go on 95 and slow go on the schuylkill with speeds in the teens and slow go 422, stop and go from royersford and traffic is moving better than the last half hour. but a crash in evesham township on 70 eastbound at elwood road. we'll check it again in the 5:00 hour. lets go back live now to philadelphia international airport where we are again awaiting the villanova wildcats to land from texas back here in our area to celebrate the big win. they are the last team standing. new vehicles have arrived to help get them to their destination. >> you know it's getting close. that is the motorcade be police are about to escort the players as soon as they arrive. that will happen any minute. live coverage on "action news" as we continue this afternoon. t.

now it's not quite enough. but mcginty's working to change that, helping create thousands of new jobs. she'll always stand up for manufacturing, higher wages, and equal pay for women so opportunity never gets out of reach. katie mcginty for senate. women voters responsible for the content of this advertising.

spring sunshine is deceiving and it's awfully cold time-out there. >> i wrote on facebook and twitter about the snow showers and freeze warnings. april fools day was a couple of days ago. you shouldn't be tricking us. but there is no trick. we have a winter-like seven-day forecast. but the action cam was capturing some sights of spring with the weeping cherry trees that many of us are weeping if you are a garden lover especially with the overnight lows going to drastic levels even record breaking levels. as we look at double scan live radar a lot of sunshine doing very little to warm us this afternoon and then we kind of bump the numbers up the next couple of days before they slam back down over the weekend. taking a snapshot here, a photo sent into our facebook page. from wynnewood, pennsylvania, you can see the snow lightly
