at times. it's doing so right now. i showed you a shot a minute ago and police hadn't arrived on the accident scene yet. they were kind of stuck in the traffic there in the backlog but we can see now police, several police officers, emergency workers all responding to the scene. it looks to be at least three vehicles as i look at this. a few vehicles here and i'm not sure if that's one or two 'cause it's kind of dark right there. we can see they're currently blocking all lanes on the schuylkill westbound as emergency workers come to the scene to deal with this. this is westbound schuylkill at university avenue. our breaking news. a big accident involving several vehicles blocking all lanes and now we see emergency workers at the scene, some of them still in the backlog here trying to get there. looks like we have an ambulance here as well trying to deal with this scene blocking all lanes on the schuylkill westbound at university. traffic at a standstill. we're seeing speeds crawl along on the schuylkill expressway westbound. if we can kind of flip our camera and there you can see the backlog. nobody moving from the walt whitman bridge to the vine, a 15 minute drive.

a big accident blocking all lanes on the schuylkill westbound at university. it's not our only accident here in chester county. one on glen willow road at gap newport pike. busy traffic morning, dave, even though in these areas roads are dry. >> yeah, as you said, the snow issue really coming later on today and tonight. there's a winter weather advisory in effect today into wednesday morning and it technically is in effect already in the poconos and in allentown and reading. it won't really go into effect, however, in places like northern bucks, northern montgomery county and northwestern chester county until about 4 o'clock this afternoon. so, the snow that we're starting to see on radar a little bit out to the west of us really is slow. right now you see some of this just to the west of reading, pottsville, harrisburg getting some of it. lancaster about to get the first flakes. this is very light, not very impactful and it's going to be ever so slow as it tries to push east and then overnight down in through philadelphia. so, like matt said kind of like acting like ragu not wanting to come out of the jar. this is going to be a real

slow arrival. ahead of it we'll get mild in philadelphia today. 41 degrees about 3 o'clock. going for a high of 42. a couple sunny breaks not out of the question. still maintaining temperatures above freezing until later tonight. tomorrow morning that's when we expect this snow to be more of an issue for philadelphia. latest model runs again by 8 o'clock tonight still have this mostly up by allentown and reading. having a difficult time trying to push down but then eventually we do give way with the colder air coming in and you can see how all the way through the morning rush we are looking at snow. won't be real heavy amounts. matt, when i come back in a minute we'll give you the latest snowfall projections from accuweather and let you know when this gets out of here and what comes next. >> thank you david. this stretch of cold and snowy weather is causing problems along communities along the frozen delaware river. it's expected to once again fluctuate near flood stage today. large ice chunks blocked water from going downstream near trenton yesterday. river banks flooded closing roads in the state capitol and across the river in lower

you can expect. you got it all. >> things get better in time for the eagles game. right now we're a little bit chilly to start out. storm tracker6 live double scan also shows us that to the north and west of philadelphia, there are a few snow showers and we have been getting some tweeted pictures of some real light snow showers, little dustings that have popped up in chester county and up toward allentown, so ahead of this main body of snow, there are a couple of break away, little low level just pops of snow that are happening. the bulk of this, though, the main stuff that's going to have the biggest impact probably holds off until later this afternoon and maybe not until this evening in some spots. as we take a look outside, we have sky6. no snow in philadelphia right now. traffic looking pretty good. karen's got some issues out there that aren't related to the weather, so we'll talk more about that with her next traffic report in just another six minutes or so. 30 degrees is your current temperature. winds are fairly light at 7 miles per hour, enough to give you a wind chill of 23. it's not really that raw out there especially considering where we've been recently. 26 degrees in trenton, though. i will point out that in

wilmington we're at 29, philadelphia 30. below freezing in the northern and western suburbs. so, if you are, say, in chester county or anywhere in the north and west and you're getting a little bit of snow on the windshield, slow it down just in case there is a freeze-up on the roadways there but there has been a lot of brining going on lately and i think mostly we're in good shape. want to remind you that we still have a flood warning that kicked in yesterday morning because of an ice jam that has developed more or lows between trenton up to yardley and some of these roads on both sides of the river in mercer and bucks county are a little flooded and in some cases icing up because of that water. now, to the snow. doesn't look like it's going to be a big issue around here until late today and this evening in the northern and western suburbs. this model run continues to keep this more or less to the other side of allentown and reading all the way up to 7 o'clock. i think there is a chance this pushes down a little bit sooner sooner and our winter weather advisory in the immediate areas of bucks, northern bucks and montgomery county and northwestern chester county kicks in at 4 o'clock. eventually, though, this will overtake the entire i-95

corridor, maybe starting out with a little bit of mixing of rain. by five. ::in-- 5:00 you can see it affecting the commute. this slackens off and pulls out of here later tomorrow morning. what are we expecting on the ground? a coating to an inch is really just nuisance precipitation most of it melting but one to 2 inches is possible from about williamstown through philadelphia up to lansdale, trenton and wilmington included. this could make roads a little icy by tomorrow morning's commute and of course it's worse up in the northern and western suburbs, two to 4 inches on the ground up up there by the time this is done. you were seven-day forecast, a high of 42 today. be hard for that snow to come right down into philadelphia until later tonight when things cool down but in the far northern and western suburbs it could come in this afternoon. you're getting a little spot of it this morning and then the bulk of that coming in in the overnight hours and affecting the wednesday morning commute. wednesday morning snow shower gives way to some afternoon drying and some sun but it's cold with a high of 35. thursday sunny but still kind of brisk and chilly with a high of 37. we are getting to the other

side of this, however, as we go toward the weekend. on friday afternoon, 43. saturday afternoon more clouds but 49. and yesterday we were a little worried about a sunday night shower. we're taking that out now. looks like the rain holds off until monday. so, for the eagles, 54 for a high for tailgaters and you know, probably upper 40's in the game time. >> okay, like that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it is now 5:40 and a win, i would really like that. it is 5:42. new on "action news" an out of control driver slams into a woman pinning her against a new jersey salon. >> police looking for a vandal who splashed this red paint on a local christopher columbus statue. >> a train rider literally gives a homeless man the shoes off his feet. karen. >> we've got breaking news. the problem on the schuylkill just getting worse. schuylkill westbound is jammed from vare avenue to university. you're not moving because all lanes are blocked with a big accident there. we'll talk about that accident and snow covered roads in chester county when we come back. >> ♪ (cat 1) friskies world...

we've got fire crews, ambulance on the scene. they arrived on the eastbound schuylkill and at times have been blocking all lanes on the eastbound schuylkill. so, you have westbound and eastbound schuylkill mostly blocked. they're allowing one lane to get by at times, allowing some of that stuck traffic to get through. it's all happening on the schuylkill expressway at university avenue. now, since we showed you this shot, we've watched they've moved away at least one of the vehicles. it was a multi-vehicle accident on the schuylkill westbound at university. we showed it to you even before police could arrive at the scene. they were stuck in the backlog with the accident. now you see police are arriving but more emergency crews had to come to the eastbound side 'cause the westbound was so jammed. so, they come on the eastbound side. now they're blocking most lanes in the eastbound. they're at times letting this right lane get by but you can see we're jammed in both directions. police, ambulance, we have a tow truck on the scene, kind of hard to see, it's right here, tow truck on the scene as well all happening on the schuylkill expressway at

university. the accident -- let's go back to that real quick 'cause that went by awfully quick. you see 2 miles an hour westbound at university. so, as you're traveling from the walt whitman bridge to the vine, you're jammed solid. eastbound is slowing as well because now you have crews blocking the eastbound side. this is a shot of the backlog. you see nobody's moving on the schuylkill westbound from vare to university. a solid line of traffic with that major accident. other issues around the area and one of them is in chester county. i want to show you storm tracker6 live 3-d showing that snowfall that's coming but we already have grounds and roads coated in chester county. scott walsh sent this and you can see his car in honey brook completely encased in ice and snow right now so be careful as you're traveling, that snowfall is already happening now in chester county in honey brook and downingtown, you've got snow covered roads and that's causing issues, tam. >> thank you, karen. surveillance video captured the moment that a car slammed into a north jersey beauty salon just as a
