but cool enough certainly for a jacket early. what little wind we do have is starting to come out of the southwest ahead of a cold front out to our west and that's good because that southerly flow tends to warm things up which is exactly what's going to happen later this afternoon. temperatures for the bus stop and to start the car this morning still kind of cool hovering around 50 degrees between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock but then it's off to the races. 55 degrees by 9 o'clock. accuweather says by noon we're at 66 and then 74 at 3 o'clock with this high of 75 right there around 4 o'clock today. still holding close to 70 degrees by 6 o'clock tonight. another mild one tomorrow with maybe a shower karen. details coming up. >> all right dave. roads are clear and dry, light traffic volume out there and some of our construction clearing. the ramp from aramingo avenue to i-95 southbound reopened because that construction cleared. starting at 6 o'clock this morning the ramp from i-95 northbound to bridge street is going do close until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. you'll have to stick to the cottman off-ramp instead. and in new castle county here, the ramp from i-95 southbound
