because the cold air moved in, last night, it is here with us now, we will still be here with us on thursday, so some places are going to get some snow, and where you see the pink is where we will get the sleet and freezing rain inbetween. if you're in south jersey and in amongst delaware, southern delaware, probably only see rainout of this friday event. and now, the latest models are saying that it is an afternoon event so by 7:00 it is spring and it is snowing in philadelphia. at least that's the early call on this storm which should be out of here by 10:00 p.m. so, we will continue to refine this forecast over the next couple every days, get you more accurate timing on it, but it doesn't look good. for the first day of spring, only 33 degrees in philadelphia right now. all of the temperatures to the north are in the 20's, in fact, weaver 29 in millville, new jersey, and wildwood has 34. these temperatures, 15, 20 degrees colder than yesterday at this time. be prepared. you have to be more bundle up than you were yesterday. because our windchills are mostly in the 20's, and teens,

this morning, with wind gusts of 31 miles an hour up in the mountains, and 21 miles an hour at the shore. so it is cold. but we had lots of irish fun yesterday with the high of 68 degrees. looks like it will be a while before we will get that warm again, because every day of the seven day forecast, doesn't get anywhere near 68 degrees. how about 48? maybe. thirty-eight on friday, is a possibility, with the snow and rain mix. so, yes, the next couple of days are cold, we get the messy wintery weather on friday. saturday, looks pretty decent with high in the mid 50's, but then cold again sunday, monday, and even tuesday of next week. soap, there it is, bob kelly, you read it and weep. >> yes, and tell you what, you got a problem here on 95, 7:17. nine ooh closed right now, northbound lanes at girard avenue. live look. two cars here, look this looks like the front after dump truck that's actually crashed into the concrete barrier. so this is north 95 at girard

avenue. i came up the stretch yesterday when headed to up katie o'donnell's, can i not believe how much of a mess it is with the lane shifts here with the construction zone, lanes are really narrow. these barriers come out of no where and slide you over to the left and right. we go back to one of our other traffic cameras, this is the back up here, 95 north now, from say center city, washington avenue, columbus boulevard, all the way north. so it is impacting everyone headed northbound on i-95 with all lanes closed. again we will try to get the chopper over there to get a better look at it. best bet headed north this morning, jump off at washington, and use delaware avenue or columbus boulevard to work your way northbound. then northeast philly, the scene of the fire, we just showed you few moments ago, academy road still closed, between frankford and holme avenue. so, traffic diverted through the neighborhoods there. your best bet, stay away from getting stuck in the detour. it will be a mess through the

rush hour, even the school buses have to go on detour. use woodhaven to 95. that will give you access kind of put in you and out of the neighborhood in the great northeast without a problem. as we go eastbound on the schuylkill expressway, mike, guess what today is? >> it is pills borough dough boy day. >> pills borough dough boy's birthday. >> how old he? >> fifty years old. >> he looks so good. >> al edge, can you do the laugh for me when i push his belly. ready? >> (laughing). >> mike, you try? >> (laughing). >> he sounds like the guy from star wars. >> you know who i am talking about? >> we'll come back the next time around. >> bob, you didn't do it. your is server sean of it? >> i'll work on my version,

and, yes, when we're altogether again tomorrow morning, as well, bob? >> soup, let's go for a ride. buckle your seatbelts, skyfox over the scene of an accident on i95 northbound, at girard avenue. there you go. you got two cars, and there is the dump truck that i was telling but there, cracked into the concrete barrier off what would be the right side of the roadway, but as we look live here, yes, there is a vehicle right down below, so there are two cars and the dump truck in the construction zone. and look, just how narrow this construction zone becomes there. you have no shoulder, those barriers come out of no where, and i use this stretch yesterday, when i went up to the northeast, coy not believe how the lanes and those barriers kind of shuffle from side to side there. but we are jammo, as we go all the way back to center city. so we're back up from columbus boulevard, northbound, all the way up to girard avenue with only that left lane getting on by there, and then let's go to

the maps, the northeast philly updating the situation around yesterday's fire, academy road still blocked between frankford and holme avenue. your best bet, use woodhaven road to get to and from i-95, and expect delays in the great northeast through the morning rush hour. mike, alex, back over to you. >> big time delay. 7:32, parent on alert after a whooping cough, well, i guess could you call it an outbreak, in montgomery count. >> i so doctors have diagnosed five students at souderton area high school with pertussis or whooping cough. county health officials say the infected teens have stayed home for the recommended five days while taking antibiotics have, since been cleared. but the school district remains concerned, telling par don't review their children's health records, and if this was even now asking students with cough to just stay home unless they have been tested. >> doctor, hi, doctor judy larkin, thanks for coming in. >> from jefferson. >> should i call it an outbreak? five student is that correct an outbreak. >> so an out break depend on the particular type of

illness. you see something that is at increased numbers from what you would normally see in a community. >> okay. >> so one case sometimes can be an outbreak, if you saw a case of small pox, that would be an outbreak. >> what's whooping cough? i thought it was, you know, that we got rid of it? >> so whooping cough is an infectious disease, spread by coughing, the problem with whopping cough is that when you first have the first symptoms, for the first couple of weeks, you have a cold. and you don't really have significant cough. you may not have anything that anybody would suspect is whopping cough. that's when it is most contagious. then, by the time you go into the cough part of it, you are still contagious, but not quite as contagious, and that's when it becomes a little bit more classic. but, in people who have been immunized, whose immunity may bewaring off little bit, they may have a case of it that might not be classic, and may not be recognizeable. >> here is the thing, i think what it is making it so tricky, starts off as common cold. how do you tell the difference when it is the most con take

us? >> you don't. that's the problem. >> so stay home to play it safe? >> if you have a cold with a cough. they are telling to you stay home. but if you have a cold that you don't have a significant cough, you may still be in school. >> why not just stay home you? have have a cold. >> so we'll keep the world at home. >> that's true. >> that's the problem. this is cold season. we're seeing a lot of people with colds. there is only certain agree of, okay, you can quarantine that far has a cold. >> well, if you are coughing you should stay home, right? >> if you are covering then the recommendation is that you should see your doctor, and you can be tested. >> here is the thing though, when i think whooping cough, i usually thought for younger student, but high schoolers getting it, is that a little different? >> not really. whopping cough has not been irradicated, in the even close to being irradicated. not like small pox again that presumably is irradicate from the our country. and there are reservoirs of whopping cough around. first of all, there are un vaccinated people, okay? there are under vaccinated people. but the other thing about whopping cough is that your i

immunity wears off with time. so even if you got all every your vaccines, you know, within few years every getting your vaccines, your immunity is not at its highest level. we give boosters at age 11 to kids, so presumably teenagers have had their boosters before they get to high school. again, a 16 year old, you got booster at 11, your immunity may not be as good as it can be. >> what's happening then with these five student? they're in high school, they need a booster. >> pertussis, that's the official name? >> yes. >> why do we call it whopping cough? do you have any idea? >> yes. >> do you? >> yes. >> the sounds? >> it is the sound, the classic cough. so when you're in the second stage of this illness, you have coughing, going into coughing spasms, where your cough, cough, cough, cough. you then take deep breath in, because you have been coughing so harled, then you have a whooping sound. so that's classic whooping cough. but again, not everybody has classic whooping cough specially if they've had some vaccine or they've been

vaccinated. their presentation may not be classic. >> can you die from it? >> so the increased risk of dying happens to infants. and that's the big problem with seeing high schoolers with it, is that if there is infants that they're in contact with, they may bring it home to that infant population, that's the population that gets sicker, that's the population that ends up in the hospital. that's the population that dies. >> parent should be paying attention then, it seems like a cold, but play it safe. >> yes. and not to get overanxious us about it. you know, that's the other big thing. >> doctor, thank you. >> thank you. >> okay, you should hang around, because i'm going to make you blush. one airline's new ad campaign making customers blush a little bit. the promotion so risque, we really can't put the whole thing on tv. but we'll describe it. you know, to a

>> let's talk transportation,

that's the airline, spirit airlines, sometimes i'll take that out of atlantic city, they have new way of their 69-dollar airfare, and it is caused some customers to be a little embarrased. >> yes. i mean, usually they have some campaigns little, but this one really got some people upset. >> so now people are saying they'll never fly spirit again. >> oh, well, common. >> e-mail sent by the discount airline, sexual inneundo, many felt was over the top. users pay 70 bucks a year to get the e-mail, many say, this isn't really what they had in mind. >> my jaw dropped. i didn't sign to up get playboy or play girl's, i sign to up get the emails for special airfare. receiving emails that are sexual in nature is not what i signed up for. >> yes, so, the airline released this statement. >> it says vast march or at this think they're funny accept femme or what they are. we realize small group of

people might not think the same way. describe some of these things, mike, or -- >> well, they have rolled out, let's go to a shot? >> don't bring me in this. >> no, they rolled out their 69th aircraft. >> uh-huh? >> so they played off that. >> ya. >> you. >> know what i mean? >> oh, i know what you mean. >> i'm using the word cockpit over and over. women, it was a pretty rest kay, a lot of people thought it was funny. 7:41, how much money are people making off march madness. >> talking about the commercials. >> oh,. >> you won't believe how much money the ncaa will make over the next month. >> well, i still haven't filled out my bracket. and it is wednesday. >> oh, played couple of games. >> okay, all right, i think it is thursday, you have until tomorrow. tomorrow -- >> some of the games have already been played. >> not the brackets. >> they play in games. they've already been played. >> let's go to jen, at the

>> i needs mitten, hat, the whole bit, winter not over yet. sunny but much colder today. that's why we will only give you five out of ten. it is a shock to the system after yesterday, when we got up to 68 degrees. only 33 right now with the sunshine. and it feels like 25. today's high 43, with the wind, it will feel even colder than that, so, plan to feel

like it is in the three's all day. twenty-eight is your overnight low. still on the windy side. so wind chills in the teens overnight. when will winter loosen it grip on us? will it be in time for spring in we'll answer that in the seven day forecast coming upment bob kelly, i guess sunglasses are the best advice for today. so squint. >> i it is leaf did i some wick sun glare, wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the reasons why we had the accident on 95, good news out of northeast philadelphia, academy road, and they've reopened the eastbound side. so, you're able to get from the neighborhood, eason academy down to 995. that's where the bulk of the volume heads for the morning rush hour. however, heading into the neighborhood, traffic still pushed off at frankford avenue. so still closed from frankford, to home, that's the side of the street that that apartment fire is located. so throughout the rest of the day, wood half tone 95, would still probably be your best bet until they get everything all clean up there from that fire from yesterday. an accident, 95 north, right
