>> some fans take their super bowl spread very seriously at valley shop rite, shoppers were out in their eagles gear picking up, and getting just the right food, could mean, the difference between win and a loss. >> well, we wanted to do everything this sunday like we did last sunday because we didn't want to face everything everything wearing same clothes, bringing the same food. >> has this been washed. >> it has not. so sorry. >> added to the menu today if the eagles lose we can blame it on her husband ordering the wings. >> we are having a super bowl party in the news room tonight look at what did you bring. >> what did you bring? >> what did you bring. >> melissa. >> i brought a lot of rain. >> yes. >> maybe it is good luck, yes. >> we will talk bit. we will show you picture outside sky six live in hd we are looking at a live shot there of u.s. bank stadium in minneapolis, minnesota where current air temperature is 3 degrees.

12 degrees below zero but inside the dome where the players will be, playing, it has got a temperature ranging from 68 to 72 degrees. far cry from what we're dealing with right now, looking at the forecast, perhaps pregame here, we have got a temperature of 37 degrees, lots of rain overhead during the game, temperature of 39. time to celebrate hopefully later tonight we have a mostly cloudy sky as that rain will be departing from a west/east direction and temperature coming in at 36 degrees. chilly rain though in the city right now, just 37, 35 for trenton, and 40 at the coast in cape may, little milder with that moisture coming in off the atlantic here in atlantic city temperature of 49 but at freezing mark in reading and slightly above there in lancaster where they are dealing with mixed precipitation north and west. so visibility is down to 3 miles in philadelphia, two and a half in allentown, 1.5 miles there in reading, so a lot some extra time if maybe you are traveling to a part your outside. here's satellite six with action radar you can see the area of low pressure well up

to the north tapping into milder air. that is why we have rain at the coast as we travel inland, however, we've got snow in the poconos and mixed precipitation further to the south and east from that location which writes that winter weather advisory has been issued for our far north and west tern suburbs. for tonight we have rain around early and then turning clear from a west/east direction, overnight low falls down to 27, and in the suburbs , and 32 degrees in philadelphia for overnight low so 6:30, just in time for kick off we have got that rain across much of the delaware and lehigh valleys, mixed precipitation starting to take place at that point for the poconos. at 9:00 o'clock we have noticed back edge of that precipitation starting to move into our western suburbs, and then still raining here in philadelphia, but then this will start to depart as we get into 10:30, 11:00 o'clock tonight and well off shore. pregaming once again we've got temperatures in the upper 30's , during the game, still a lot of rain overhead, a high temperature and a temperature of 39, then we're in the upper 30's later tonight.

the exclusive accu weather seven day forecast showing in the wake of that it is breezy, cold tomorrow, high temperature in at 34, tuesday it is in the as cold but still cloudy, a high temperature coming in at 42, and then on wednesday we are tracking periods of rain with another system moving on in and a high temperature of 45. and in the wake of that by thursday afternoon cloud and then turning sunny, it will be chilly with a high temperature coming in at 36 degrees. now a bit of the pattern change takes place into next week even. on friday mostly cloudy sky a high temperature coming in at 34 degrees and then on saturday, it is milder with some sunshine and in at 45 degrees. late saturday there could be flurries around if you are tracking another area have low pressure that will move on through so sunday, mostly cloudy and it will get warm as that system winds up to our north and milder, so high temperature of 45 and then rain is likely by then. but tonight we are track ago this moisture with winter weather advisory to the north and west so we have got rain

for revellers, i heard someone on social media say maybe it goodies luck to have rain like it is on a wedding day. >> true. >> so who knows. >> i'll to that. >> we will see. >> thanks, melissa. turning to other news tonight two amtrak workers are dead and more than 100 passengers injured, from a crash this morning in south carolina am tar silver star headed from new york to miami was going nearly 60 miles an hour when it plowed in the parked csx freight train, and national trappings safety board investigators say that a switch in the wrong position sent the amtrak train on to the side track, and a switchyard. this is third deadliest amtrak wreck, in two months. if you're anything like me,
