more monday, tuesday, wednesday every next week, big weather changes on the way, it is moist, as mike said, out here right now, but if you like it a little bit cooler, you only have to wait couple of more days, of course, wait one more second before you head out the door because here is dominica to take a look at traffic. hell glow hi, sue, yes, we have a lot of traffic to talk about this morning, want to update you on the big crash on i959 northbound approaching cottman avenue. there is major crash involving six, seven cars, rather there is pile up causing the left lane to be blocked, also, on the pennsylvania turnpike, westbound, approaching willow grove. there is cents an accident, that is blocking the left and center lanes, just past the willow grove exit. also, we have an accident on i676, westbound, off ramp to i76, the schuylkill expressway, which has two lanes block. and finally, going back to horsham, northbound, route 611 between maple avenue and westmoreland avenue. they are still working this accident, it would be overturned tractor-trailer.
