Point. As we look at Storm Tracker 6 live double scan showers along the i95 corridor. You have a touch of showers, drizzle here or there and this is the way its going to look for the first half of the daily lets take a wider look here at satellite 6 and action radar. This first round of rain, maybe well get a break before the next stuff thats moving up from the south comes and hits us. Heres what we can expect temperaturewise. Were certainly on the mild side. 49 degrees in philadelphia. Even well above freezing in mount pocono, 37 degrees. 41 in reading, 48 in wilmington. 51 already in millville, new jersey. So, we are just talking rain today and its not going to be a significant amount of rain today. Just going to be enough to make it feel damp and dreary. Lets look at the visibility reports. Thats an issue. Already just 4mile visibility at Philadelphia International airport. Fog reducing visibility to about 2 miles in reading, three in allentown, 2. 5 in trenton and just a half a mile at mount pocono. So, keeping a close eye on the fog this morning.

You know, karen, many of those school kids wrapping things up before their holiday break if they havent done so already so were seeing less and less school buses on the roads these days but were seeing a few cars here already this morning along 95 southbound side even though overall we expect volume to be lighter during the morning rush today. There is some heavy traffic headed southbound through the work zone here at cottman. Again southbound through the work zone by girard. Those speeds just starting to drop. So far its not too bad over on the schuylkill despite the wet conditions but there are a couple accidents now. One on the roosevelt boulevard southbound side at harbison reportedly in the outer drive. Stick with the inner drive as you head down towards oxford circle. A pretty bad crash on the ramp from the pennsylvania turnpike eastbound to Delaware Valley. The Delaware Valley interchange, the crash is on the ramp did injure some people but youre seeing some slowing there in the eastbound main lanes of the turnpike headed towards the connector bridge. Meanwhile here in Chester County just wet, no problems in the ongoing work zone along 202 here near 401. Were getting used to that new traffic pattern that debuted over the weekend on the northbound side but so far no delays to speak of. Tam. Okay, thank you matt. And were starting this morning with a developing story, a man was shot in the back walking home from the store in philadelphia. Action News ReporterKatherine Scott is live at south detectives where they are on the case. Good morning, katherine. Reporter good morning, tam. And that 33yearold victim was speaking to police. He told them that there was no robbery, no argument leading up to the shootings and now investigators here at south detectives are trying to determine why he was shot but as i mentioned, the victim was able to talk to police and he told police that he and his 30yearold cousin had been walking back from a store to his home. It was around 1 00 a. M. There at the intersection of 25th and moore in south philadelphia and thats when he heard shots being fired and realized he had been hit. He was able to run several block to his home which is where police met him. He was taken to the hospital of the university of pennsylvania where hes undergoing surgery. He was hit once and apparently the bullet just missed his spine. Investigators recovered at least eight spent shell casings from a semiautomatic gun at the intersection and they were out gathering evidence overnight. There is a business with exterior surveillance cameras right in the area so hopefully these cameras recorded something that can help south detectives with their investigation. Reporter and among the things police are hoping that footage would show, a description of the shooter or shooters. The victim was not able to provide one.
