5:49 am
south here, and it's slowly going to switchover from rain to wiptry mix to more snowfall as colder air continues to filter in on the back end of this system. so by 6:00 when we start to see the darker blues here, that is heavy snow coming down. again, right over your evening commute. it all depends on where you are. if you're closer to philadelphia or suburbs to the north and west, lehigh valley, up through the poconos better chance of snow. right now it looks like we could see more rain here down at the shore, and we'll keep firming up the details of that moving throughout the day on wednesday affecting your wednesday commute. and it looks like the system starts to depart our area as we go into wednesdaymism our snow impacts potentially heavy, clumpy wet snow, tough to remove. another power outage is possible, and more tree limbs

5:51 am
about 43. and then for monday temperatures are in the high 40s. coming up we'll talk a little bit more about the second nor'easter back in your forecast. >> always good to be prepared. >> thank you, brittney. nine minutes before 6:00 a.m. let's get a chaeck of the roads. >> there's a vehicle off the road on the southbound side of the new jersey turnpike just near exit 5. part of the right lane blocked there. and again that's right near route 541. you can get by the scene for you. if you're feeling a little nervous you can always take 295. but i think you'll be able to get by just fine. mass transit doing okay. 15 minute delays for the north for high-speed line trolleys. and also thorndale outbound service dealing with some

5:56 am
tight-knit community in philadelphia. we always are supporting each other when it comes to stuff like this. but when it's your own restaurant and employees are the ones that needs to be lift up, it means a lot. over 100 restaurants are represented here in some way or another. >> yeah, they're represented by bringing lots of food. unfortunately, the future for little lion uncertain. they expect to be closed for at least two more months. new this morning children are the victims of the opioid epidemic. they're being hospitalized at an alarming rate because of accidental opioid overdoses. the number of pediatric icu admissions for opioid overdoses doubled between 2004 and 2015. 2% of these tiny patients died
5:57 am
