Ton a bit wet right now and route 40 down near elmer. So, were dealing with some rain through the morning at times its not terribly wet out there. That heavy rain you can see he on satellite6 and action radar really pulled out of here. Its a day with lots of clouds but we can see some of this pulling in from the south. Well see some showers at times today and it could come down pretty good at times. We have humidity thats way up there. You really feel the moisture. 76 degrees already in philadelphia, so step outside were already above our average high for this date but temperatures arent going very far because weve got lots of clouds and some showers. Were holding in the upper 70s today. Heres what youre going to look at today. By 9 00 a. M. , 76, lots of clouds, little bit of rain or a shower here or there. By noon, 78 degrees, by 3 00 p. M. , 75. By 6 00 p. M. , 73 coming down from your high of 78. At any time you could see a shower or a quick downpour with the humidity way up there and so much moisture in the atmosphere but all of this is just the beginning. Matt. So, weve got more rain to track on the way and its going to be heavy. And as you know so well, it doesnt take a lot of wetness, karen, to give us big problems with the morning commute. Already early on this wednesday morning, we have seen a few issues and the wazers warned us about this one its a broken down vehicle in the southbound lanes of 95 just south of allegheny avenue. However, with the waze app we were hearing it was off to the side. Its actually not. Its taking out the right lane so causing people to need to make that last minute merge over to the left headed down towards girard and it is already causing some slowing coming away from the betsy ross bridge. Broken down vehicle on 95 southbound just south of allegheny. Well keep tabs on that. We also continue to watch the ben franklin parkway where the inner drives remain shut down this morning, so once again, we expect a slow morning ride through the art museum area. This is the roosevelt boulevard in east falls. No big problems here as you come southbound toward the schuylkill expressway. Farther north between rhawn and woodward theres construction blocking the inner drive for another half hour but you can get by in the outer drive so not a huge deal. In Exton Chester county theyre still working to unclog the drains. Still have some high water along 202 northbound right where 30 comes in so were starting to see people tap the brakes because just one lane is opened there. And theres also some high water in Egg Harbor City along route 30, the white horse pike, at route 50. A lane is blocked there close to the dunkin donuts. Matt and nydia. Thank you matt.

City control hen controller says were down 80 percent in sales and most restaurants did less than half of their normal activity for the weekend. They mostly lost money on extra inventory and staff after expecting larger crowds. This whole thing was sold as if it was going to be a tremendous boost to the local economy. Hotels, however, did see a boost over the weekend. Thats thanks to the greater Philadelphia Hotel associations reaction to low projections early on and a change in its marketing strategy. We stayed at the marriott there. 1400 rooms they all checked out on monday. Wow. Must have been some lines. Yeah, it was a little crazy. Long lines to deal with that, right. They handled it well, though. Fortunately we had the dry weather because the weather is turning wet in a fast way and really staying that way for a few days. Lets take a look right now at storm tracker6 live double scan and we can see the heavy rain we had from last night is out of here but not entirely out of the woods for your morning commute. Lets go in a little closer to this and with double scan we can see who is getting the showers and for the most part its just showers but here in norristown youre a bit wet, in malvern along route three, route one right here, just west of the city. In new jersey in wrightstown, in browns mills, right along 206 its particularly heavy right now and through medford along 73, a few spotty cells, you see them out here and near hammonton as well and along route 40. Lets take a look outside right now and see what it looks like. Lots of clouds and the roads werare wet. We got a lot of rain last night. Even though its not raining hard right now. 76 degrees the current temperature. Step outside it feels warm. Were already above our average high for this date but temperatures hold in the 70s and weve pulled in our always on day planner to give you an idea what thats going to look at. Dewpoint 73 giving you an idea the air is very saturated. Winds out of the southsouthwest kind of pulling up the warm and moist humid air mass. Satellite6 and action radar showing that heavy rain in motion. You see how it moved right through our area and now its up to the north and east. Behind it were seeing clouds, were seeing some showers that will be kind of peppered through. You can see down to the south some of those showers that may pull through. Lets show you what this looks like on future tracker. This is a look at 8 oclock this morning and this model shows some showers here or there, not terribly wet but enough that its going to be a bit damp out there. At 1 30 were still dealing with lots of clouds, maybe a shower or two here or there. By 8 oclock tonight, some more showers. So i know this is the time of year so many people have sports activities, things they want to do and the weather is not horribly wet but certainly you could expect shower during that activity and lots ahead. Lets look at the day ahead. By 11 00 77. You see how the edges arent budging. 2 00 p. M. 76. By 5 00 p. M. 75 degrees. Staying with the clouds, staying with temperatures at least above average and a shower here or there during the day. And the reason that were really expecting the tropical moisture to hit us in a big way is this area of low pressure in atlanta, this upper level low causes kind of a kink in the jet stream. See how its tilted more negatively. Then we expect the tropical moisture to move right in and that tropical moisture centered around joaquin. I just read the National Hurricanes latest updates. Theyre sending Hurricane Hunters rider now through joaquin. Still at 70 miles an hour winds but expected today to become a hurricane currently a Tropical Storm so watch the progression of this because it does head right through our area. Looks like on monday at 2 00 a. M. It will be a hurricane, hurricane one status and then were looking at it headed towards the area but look at the cone right here. So, what we can see he is there still is a cone of uncertainty and well track it closely but certainly headed our way. We are definitely going to feel the effects with heavy rain through the region at least. Lets take a look at your exclusive accuweather 7day. Clouds today, some showers. Not a terribly wet day today. 78 degrees for your high. And then tomorrow its much cooler, its windy with rain, especially at night, 60 degrees for your high. Raining into friday, cool and rainy on friday, 57 degrees. Saturday windy, rain at times, 66. Sunday breezy, still some rain, 68. It looks at this point that we try to recover on monday with just a couple of showers, clouds giving way to maybe a few more peeks of sunshine and 70. Tuesday partly sunny skies and 70 but of course through the weekend watching how close what will be then Hurricane Joaquin come to our area. Okay. Thank you karen. 5 41 now.

We are post pope and trying get back to normal, right, matt. Post pope, i like that, yes. We are trying get back to normal. Still a few closures around the parkway nydia and matt with papal cleanup going on but slowly but surely things are returning to normal. Coming out of the suburbs, its a little abnormal because its wet and were not used to that. On 202 flooding in the northbound lanes by the 30 bypass as you head towards the work zone. Looks like the the crews that were out here blocking one of the two lanes just pulled out of the way so both lanes opened which bodes better for your morning commute because that was going to be a mess if one of the two lanes were blocked there at that busy merge. In norristown watching a downed tree this morning partially blocking elm street at swede street and we had a disabled vehicle in lower moreland by the citgo station along byberry road. Looks like that cleared out. In issues on the pennsylvania turnpike. On the new jersey turnpike between exits four and 7a speed limits 55 Miles Per Hour because of the wet conditions so we should be dropping about 10 Miles Per Hour off that speed. We are sitting at 55 over on 295 as you travel between Camden County and burlington county. And were still without the ramp from 70 eastbound to 41. Thats kings highway. Its because of a downed pole. Remember to use the eastbound offramp to grove street as an alternate. Time for the commuter report brought to you by the waze app. We have that broken down vehicle on 95 southbound just south of allegheny giving us an Early Morning jam in the normally busy spot. So as you come down from the betsy ross bridge youre hitting the brakes because of that dv up ahead in the right lane. Stay over on aramingo avenue. Thats nice and clear at this point. Matt.
