drive. also have an accident involving a pedestrian in the fairhill section of the city at fifth and lehigh by the crown fried chicken and there's a demonstration going on in center city right by the clothes pin at 15th and market so watch out for restrictions in that area. of course the walnut lane bridge is still closed and the update today is now they're saying tuesday afternoon it will reopen. after this 13 more rush hours without it which i know the reopening cannot come too soon. everything is reopened on the blue route 476 southbound. had a earlier crash that's gone gut it's still heavy from the schuylkill down to 95. you don't want to use 202 southbound instead even though the accident by westtown road is gone. it's still a solid line from boot road on down with delays spilling back onto 100 southbound. might want to stick with pottstown pike or else 352 or even 252 instead of southbound two he 02 this afternoon. -- 202 this afternoon. crash on 309 although speeds are increasing. might want to stick with

bethlehem pike or the northeast extension as alternates. we'll check them again rick and sharrie in the 5 o'clock hour. >> thanks again matt. it it felt like another summer day but there is about to change. >> let's step outside. sky6 ld giving us the view of center city from the temple cam there. meteorologist adam joseph coming up with that exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast next.

earlier at fairmount water works you can see this gentleman here lounging and he's got the right idea today, lounging underneath the shade because it was very warm in the surgeon -- sunshine and a tad on the humid side as well. storm tracker6 live double scan no precipitation whatsoever. lot of sun today but clouds will be on the increase tonight and to start our weekend on saturday morning but for right now it is very summer-like. 89 allentown, 87 for philadelphia, trenton, 88 wilmington and lancaster, 84 in millville. and in those numbers tumble a little bit right along the immediate shore with the sea breeze. upper 70's but you just head five or and the miles inland and that number quickly jumps any other middle -- into the middle 80's. a couple sprinkles just to the east of buffalo south of burlington vermont. not a lot of precipitation with this but again, turning cloudy overnight. could be a stray shower in the poconos or lehigh valley after midnight, 61 to 65 with that wind kicking up from the north

seven to 14 miles an hour. as the front continues to progress through here tomorrow morning, if you wake up and it looks very cloudy, don't be surprised 'cause the clouds will win out saturday morning into the early part of the afternoon but once we go after one, 2 o'clock we'll start to see that sun returning from the north to the south. the last place if you're expected to be at the shore tomorrow could be cloudy for a good clunk of the day on saturday but sunday mostly sunny down there. then that high pressure comes in, a very strong one pushing the front all the way into the virginias and the carolinas so as this canadian high drops to the south the coolest temperatures will be arriving from the midatlantic and northeast and even some high elevation frost in part of the cat skills the adirondacks and the northern appalachians. a reminder that those frosty mornings are not too far away. eagles in town again sunday afternoon against the steelers so it's the battle of the pennsylvania boys here as we

look at gorgeous weather here on sunday. 4:25 is your kickoff temperature, 71 by the fourth quarter 66 degrees and again if you're heading to the shore, expect a lot of clouds here on saturday with late sun of 72 and then full sun, a cool breeze on sunday with your temperature just at 70. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast 76 clouds giving way to sun tomorrow and again much cooler. and then very pleasant here sunday, 72 in philadelphia, don't be surprised if the suburbs especially north and west of philadelphia you only stay in the 60's for highs on sunday and then quickly turning cloud he dee monday, story. a weak system rolls through tuesday with some showers of 74 and that reinforces some cooler air for the middle to the end of next week. it is perfect. mostly sunny just a few clouds and temperatures in the middle 70's so that is one good looking typical late september seven-day forecast. >> wow. goodbye summer. >> yeah. stretch of 70's. all right adam thank you.
