like 14 below in the mountains, 3 below in reading, 1 below in lancaster, 2 above in philadelphia and 1 above in wilmington. throughout the day the wind chill values will get a little bit better. by lunchtime it will feel like 12 in philadelphia and during the late afternoon and early evening hours, we're talking about mid teens. so yes, it is a far cry from the 64 degrees that we had two days ago but it's not going to continue to feel quite this bad as the day wears on. satellite and the radar shows clear skies. it's going to be a nice-looking day, just blustery and cold. mostly sunny, windy or breezy and cold with a high of 27, wind chills in the teens. when i come back in just a few minutes, we'll focus on how long this cold weather will stick around and the possibility of the snow in the accuweather 7-day forecast. another january thaw arrives this weekend and this past weekend has been bitter cold but there are signs we could be in

the 60s by next weekend and i'll have details in just a few minutes. >> they are now just one win away from heading to the super bowl. the philadelphia eagles have done it. they beat the atlanta falcons in front of a home crowd at the linc. >> what a game. >> everyone excited. number 9 was a key role in that big win yesterday. foles made a crucial fumble recovery which allowed the eagles to keep the ball at the goal line. this is the goal line play that everyone is talking about this morning. matt ryan just missed his receiver. that would have been a touchdown with just a minute left on the clock. that play preserved the win for the eagles, 1510. ducis rodgers has more on the win from lincoln financial field. >> reporter: it had been nine years since the eagles last won a playoff game.

ironically it's been nine years since they appeared in the nfc championship game. the birds are one step away from the super bowl after gutting it out against atlanta last night. >> at the end of the day we find a way to win the game. whether we're underdogs or favorite, love all those guys in the locker room right there. they don't care, i don't care. >> it's unbelievable to be up here, it's very humbling to be up here to go to the championship game with the philadelphia eagles. it's been a crazy ride and i'm excited i gelt to do it with these these. >> do your job. nobody has to go out there and be super man. >> the winner of today's saints-vikings game will come here next saturday night for the title. >> it has been four years, but die hard eagles fans have a serious case of well-deserved

playoff fever. they sat through a very cold game it was well worth of payoff at the linc. their team is now moving on to the nfc championship game. >> sweating a little bit but i know we came to get this win. we're tired of them disrespecting. >> i cried a little bit. tears of joy at the end. >> an emotional roller coaster. the excitement continued long after the game was over at chickie's and pete's there in south philadelphia. the eagles just one win away from heading to the super bowl. >> if you would like to go to next sunday's game at the linc, there are a number of tickets available they will go on sale this tuesday morning at 10:00. you can only buy them on ticketmaster.com or by calling

serious injury after his car slammed into a tree on south jersey. this happened on route 235. police tell action news the driver lost control of his vehicle while driving northbound on 295. the vehicle ran off the road and struck a tree. the impact caused the vehicle to burst into flames. another driver stopped and helpd the man out of his burning car. that man was taken to the hospital for treatment. >> there is information to tell you about this morning. a woman is in critical condition after officers say she was shot by her husband. police tell us that man is dead after turning the gun on himself. the action cam at that scene, in the city's lawncrest section. police went house to house after getting reports of a shooting. >> officers arrived and found a female shot. she was outside of the house and had a gunshot wound to the

chest. she was taken to the hospital. she was able to tell police her husband shot her and he was still inside the house. >> police say the house had an odor of gas so they called the fire department and a utility crew to turn it off. when they were finally able to enter the home, they found the husband dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. >> a man accused of killing a university of pennsylvania student earlier this month. that student was home on break in california when he met up with his high school friend, 20-year-old samuel woodward. he was reported missing and his body was found a week later. according to the district attorney charges are still pending. the da wouldn't elaborate on what charges he could potentially face until all the details of this case were looked over. so far a motive for the killing

is still unknown. back in pennsylvania now two months after allentown's mayor was voted in for a fourth term, he's now preparing to go to court. jury selection begins for his federal corruption trial. he faces 54 counts including fraud and lying to the fbi. the mayor has denied any wrongdoing. >> from our delaware newsroom, firefighters trying to figure out what started a fire that destroyed a mobile home. flames pouring from the roof just last night. this happened along the 5600 block of old capital trail. a 57-year-old man who lived there was treated for smoke inhalation but he refused to go to the hospital. we're told it took crews about an hour to get the fire under control. >> we have new information this morning about the house explosion in south jersey that sent a man on to his lawn. it happened late friday night in

now a look at sky 6hd at philadelphia internext airport. the shot looks pretty but it's not that warm. meteorologist chris sowers with your chilly exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast.

♪ ♪ (radio playing in background) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ take a look at this. can you believe a driver in that suv right there in virginia was rescued after he got stranded in flash flooding? firefighters pulled the man from

the rising water after his suv was swept away by the fast-moving water friday night. they used a boat, they broke out the back window, they pulled him to safety. amazingly that man was not injured. but imagine getting caught in flash flooding. that water all the way up to the top. >> that would be scary. 9:13 on a sunday. here's a hint that it's cold. meteorologist chris sowers has a sweater on. >> and my nose is still red. >> when he's sweatering, you know it's cold >> it's cold out there this morning. far cry from the 64 degrees we hit just two days ago. that arctic front has powered through and it's back to winter. cold wind chills continue right through monday evening. possibility of a little snow tuesday evening into wednesday

morning. it turns much warmer as we head into next weekend, another january thaw is on the way and i'll show you those numbers here in just a minute. in the meantime we're suffering. it's 14 in allentown, 13 in reading, 16 in trenton and philadelphia, 15 in wilmington and 15 degrees down there in dover. and of course when you factor in the winds, this is what it actually feels like to the exposed skin. it feels like 14 below right now in the poconos where you still have a wind chill advisory in effect. single digits for the i-95 corridor, actually single digits for everybody. the winds are still whipping they're not as intense as what we saw yesterday. yesterday we had gusts in that 30-40 mile per hour range. we can certainly handle 14 miles per hour but with temperatures as cold as they are, even this stings a little bit. so it's 14 miles per hour in trenton, 17 in dover, 15 in atlantic city and 13 miles per hour in cape may.

high pressure right here, it's pretty much why we're cloud free across the great lakes and mid atlantic this morning. if you go to the heartland of the nation, this is the next system that we're watching. it's a reinforcing shot of arctic air. it's going to be marching east over the next 48 hours. it will hit the coast and a secondary low will develop off the delmarva. with the system on tuesday, as we start to see a little light snow fly, will the coastal storm get involved with this. if it does we could see more than an inch of snow. so your surface maps look like this, cold arctic high in control for tomorrow. for tomorrow increasing clouds, stays cold with a high of 30 and for tuesday, here comes that system from the west. you can see the light snows breaking out to the west. there's the coastal low right there. now unfortunately this model doesn't go farther out than tuesday but others do and they take that coastal low like this. they don't bring it in, they bring it out. so that means we should see only

minor amounts of snow with the system assuming that it behaves itself and it does travel out to sea. so the close-up on future tracker looks pretty good. for tomorrow increasing clouds. we get into tuesday morning, it's cloudy for everybody, light snows across central pennsylvania so if you're traveling west into state college or harrisburg, you'll see lighter snows early on during the day but that light snow should hold off getting into the city until the evening hours and it will continue through about midnight and it should work its way out to sea. right now we're looking at a tuesday afternoon and evening event. just a period of light snow with minor accumulations. but again it all depends on whether or not the coastal low gets involved. if it does, accumulations will be a bit higher. forecasted highs today, mid to upper 20s, wind chills are in the teens. overnight tonight everybody dropping back down into the teens again. 9 in reading, 8 in allentown

underneath a mainry clear sky. 30 for tomorrow, 39 for tuesday with that afternoon snow. 32, 33 wednesday and thursday. friday we start pulling out of it, 44. saturday 50. and right now the early call for sunday, 56 to 60 degrees. depending on location. gray? >> okay, chris. thank you so much. in women wilmington the one vil ij alliance welcomes members. the program inspired by the life of dr. martin luther king junior. the event included workshops as well as music and dance. next time, i want you on my bowling team.

those who experienced the most stress on the job were 57% more likely to develop diabetes. and we are now halfway through january. here's something for you to think about. how many of you have kept those new year's resolutions to lose the extra weight? >> i have a whole year, don't i? a new york state teacher has issued a 10-day challenge to eat a plant-based diet. this after winning his own battle of the bulge. >> a teacher inspiring a revolution with his incredible weightloss and new lease on life. >> i have had people who have come to me say doug, maybe you can help me with this issue. >> reporter: it started in 2008 with a widow maker heart attack at age 49. at 225 pounds he knew he had to make a big change and put aside his favorite foods. >> maybe a couple of eggs, a

couple of strips of bacon. i loved my cheese. for dinner nothing like a good baguette, a side of steak, mashed potatoes, there was always cookies, cakes and pies and snack on ice cream before going to bed. >> reporter: instead he switched over to a plant-based diet. >> you're giving up a lifetime of eating habits and it's hard to change those. >> reporter: diets sunterred around plants have become a craze. >> the evidence is overwhelming that you can use diet and lifestyle to treat and even reverse disease. >> reporter: 39% of americans say they want to eat a more plant-based diet and it can make a big difference when it comes to improving health. >> diet is probably the single most important influence on health in the united states today. >> reporter: for schmidt, his new eating habit helped him lose

for the poconos, wind chills below zero most of the time. let's fast forward into tuesday evening. here's the next system that we're watching right now. it's just south of winnipeg in southern canada. it comes racing across the mid atlantic states and you can see the coastal low starts develop here. it looks like all the pieces of the puzzle come together too far offshore to bring a significant amount of snow to the philadelphia area. if you're a snow lover, what you would want to see is this system here kind of dive down like this. the coastal low hugs the coast and then comes up. that's the snow track for us. it looks like this low will do one of these. so it's less snow for us. but it's something we're going to have to watch closely over the next few days. we all remember what happened with the last nor'easter. it does bear watching. >> the next time you have a problem on a flight, you could get some bonus miles right away.

that's because american airlines is now allowing flight attendants to compensate passengers with frequent flyer miles. the amount received will depend on the specific problem and the length of the flight you're on. giving the flight attendants this power helps ensure no one gets off of a plane upset. there was a 4% increase of complaints from flyers in the first three-quarters of last year. general motors has announced it's launching a self-driving car without any manual controls. no steering wheel or gas or brake pedals. there are several screens that are used to manipulate the car. is this the jet sons or what? the company has not given an official release date. it still has to pass safety tests and get approval from the federal government. >> bon jovi fans can get ready

20s for the highs. very similar to what we saw yesterday for the eagles game. at that point the temperatures had crashed and unfortunately they're not going to go anywhere over the next couple of days. 16 in philadelphia, trenton 16 degrees, allentown 14 degrees. reading 13 and dover and mill vil 17, 18 cape may checking in at 18 degrees. when you factor in the winds this is where it gets ugly. it feels like 2 in philadelphia, 2 in trenton -3 in reading and single digits for those shore points as well. the winds every getting so -- wind chill values will continue to range from 10-15 degrees below zero. the forecast for today, this is for the immediate philadelphia area, shooting for a high of 27. we'll call it breezy and cold. again it's going to be a struggle just to get into the 20s. 19 by 10:00. by noon we're up to 23, 2:00, 25

and by 4:00, 26 degrees. if you're not a big fan of the cold or snow, we do have another january thaw in that accuweather 7-day forecast i'll have those details coming up in just a little bit. guys? >> we look forward to it. thank you for the update. it is now 9:32. just in case you have not heard, the eagles are now headed to the nfc championship game this weekend. they're not just heading there, they're fthere. >> oh, yeah they are. after a win at home here at the linc. just about a minute leftme, the threatening to take the lead. local guy falcons quarterback matt ryan just missed julio jones? the end zone. the eagles held on for the 10-15 bin. >> we've been there before. we're built for that.

rescued from that home. two occupied two, two vacant. >> new this morning police are looking for the gunman who shot a man behind a building. police arrived after receiving several 911 calls reporting gunfire. officers found the victim laying on the ground. he was taken to the hospital where he is in critical condition. there's no word yet on what sparked the shooting. a highway patrol officer shot a man in the kensington section of philadelphia after police say he tried to take an officer's gun. an officer pulled over a vehicle for driving the wrong way. the officer asked the man to get out of the vehicle and discovered he had a gun. that man began to struggle with the officer and tried to grab

the gun. when he couldn't, investigators say he reached for the officer's gun. that officer fired one shot but missed. a second officer who arrived on the scene also fired his gun. this time shooting the man in the stomach. that man was taken to temple hospital where he is now in critical condition. the driver was taken into custody for questioning. no officers were injured here. >> it is now 9:35 this morning federal and state officials in hawaii are apologizing after a mistake caused mass panic that gripped the island for nearly 40 minutes this weekend. hawaiians and tourists received a text alert around 8:00 a.m. informing them that a ballistic missile was headed their way. the message stated this was not a drill and everyone should seek shelter immediately. >> we were actually terrified. we're on the 35th floor of our hotel and we didn't know what to do. >> we were 20 minutes off the beach. we didn't really know what to do except paddle in and do the best

we could. >> you can imagine the fear, right? officials say there was never really a threat. a worker at the state's emergency management office mistakingly hit the wrong button. hawaii's government has promised a full investigation into this. many people are questioning why it took a full 38 minutes to alert everyone this was only a false alerm. >> chelsea manning says she is running for a u.s. senate seat in maryland. manning had been convicted of leaking classified documents and was released early from a military prison. the 30-year-old filed her statement of candidacy with the federal election commission thursday. she is running as democrat and will likely challenge two-term senator ben carden in the primary. the state's senior senator is a favorite to win. actor mark wahlberg says he is donates his fee for

reshooting a film. he explained yesterday that his fee became an important topic of conversation and he says he supports equal pay. wahlberg is donating his entire fee in his costar michelle williams' name. because she only received $1,000 to reshoot the very same scene. he got $1.5 million, she got $1,000. they are both represented by the same agency. who is also matching with a donation as well. >> 9:37. your time there's much more to come. celebrating and honoring the iconic dr. martin luther king junior. we'll tell you how you can get involved. >> also ahead dozens of barges break lose on a west virginia river. details on what caused this crush on the water.

it's 16 degrees colder right now than it was the same time yesterday in philadelphia and most locations are anywhere from 12-20 degrees colder as the thermometer continues to dip and dip here as the cold arctic air comes driving in from the north. you can see the arrows. 16 in philadelphia and trenton, 14 in allentown, 5 degrees in the poconos, 18 in cape may and dover, 15 degrees in wilmington. and you factor in the winds and this is what it feels like. it feels like single digits out there. unless you're taking advantage of this, head north it's 14 below in the poconos. 3 below in reading and 1 below in lancaster. there's just no escape. it's 33 right now in new orleans. look at the blues, the temperatures in the 30s. it gets all the way down to orlando. 7 degrees in chicago, bismarck 11. so you can see this cold air is shifting to the east and that's

the good news with this next shot of cold air i was just talking about how this is not going to last as long as the first shot so you can already see that real cold stuff is shifting east. it will be three or four days worth of cold air and things start to improve. this system is the next system we're watching. here's future tracker. it will race across the lower 48, as we get into monday morning, milwaukee, chicago could pick up a couple of inches of light fluffy snow. here comes the coastal low right there. that will start pulling to the north but it looks like the two merge, they come together up through here, across new england. we're left with lighter snow, not a heavier snow event. they could easily see 4 to 8 maybe 5 or 10 inches of snow. we're looking at about an inch, maybe a little more. today nice and we it, sunny skies.

increasing clouds for monday. here coming tuesday. it looks like the snow is trying to push into or far western counties. most of the day should be dry. it's the late afternoon and evening hours when this light snow breaks out and it should stay on the lighter side. we'll get 3, 4, perhaps five hours worth of snow. wednesday we could see a couple of leftover flurries and that's about it. we'll continue to watch that over the next few days. breezy, sunny, cold for today. 24 degrees. overnight it's another frigid night. 8 degrees surrounding suburbs. winds are light at 5-15 miles per hour. exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast. 27 degrees today. 30 for tomorrow. tuesday clouding up, a couple of snow showers during the late afternoon. that will transition to a period of light snow during the evening and at night.

wednesday clouds to sun, maybe morning flurries. thursday is chilly with a high of 33. saturday is nice 50, and sunday looks like 60. much easier to handle. >> but clear tomorrow. >> conditions look really nice. just increasing clouds. it's just going to be cold. >> the legendary band chicago took part in a wib oncutting ceremony at the new excite center at the parx casino in bucks koinlt. theven -- then they headlined the venue. the excite center is part of the $50 million expansion project. it is expected to add 200 new permanent jobs.

throughout the region from all ages and backgrounds, will be taking their way of celebrating dr. king and their concerns for the community and turning it into action. >> give us an example of some of the things, we're looking at some video now of some of the events that will be happening tomorrow. give me kind of an overview what kinds of events we're talking about. >> at jirard college, which will be our signature site, we have a focus on food justice, food access. 50 years ago dr. king read the poor people's campaign which ended abruptly at his death, at his assassination. but it was carried on, 50 years later more than 41 million more people live in poverty. one in five children go to sleep hungry at night. so the issues that we dealt with

before are still with us. so at gerard college we will be packing food with the share program that will be distributed through 500 food covered throughout the region. we're going to encourage young people to be able to grow vegetables and get involved in this kind of work by growing pallet gardens and compost stands. you need to get people to embrace his legacy by turning words into action. and doing it not just with a day of volunteering, but with a lifetime of service. >> and something for everyone to get involved in tomorrow. we'll of course get people linked up to the events happening tomorrow. you have about 150,000 volunteers signed up and i think we can get you a few more. >> thank you so much for stopping by. i would like to remind you for more information how to get
