Yeah and its windy out here right now and a chilly damp wind at that. We had a band of rain that moved through the sitting now hitting reading. We can see this on storm tracker6 live double scan. If youre in south jersey, in philadelphia youre dry even now in trenton but you can see that rain hitting pottstown on 422. Its north of malvern and norristown and willow grove right now. In doylestown youre wet, in new hope and north of trenton right now. That was just band number one. Well see more bands of rain kind of pulling in off the ocean so these bands that you see are lifting out to the northwest. That heavier rain is still down to the south. Thats going to hit us a little later this morning. So, 53 degrees right now in philadelphia. Feels windy and damp and chilly. 54 in allentown. 53 right now in millville and temperatures really arent budging. Were staying in the 50s today. At 7 00 a. M. , 53 degrees. I think the shrug of steadier rain happens late this morning through the evening hours so noon, 3 00 5 oclock and temperatures will dip a little bit in the afternoon when that heavy rain is coming down. Youll stay in the 50s today. At 5 oclock still raining pretty hard in spots and 58. At 7 oclock, it will be 58 and it might be breaking back up to periods of rain so rainy with a chilly wind, a high of 58. Ill time this out with future tracker and we will talk about when we finally see the sun again and ill see if i could fix my hair before we do that. Back to you, matt.

Also not the best morning to go for a drive around the art museum because yes, karen, more closures did take effect overnight here by eakins oval. This is where Spring Garden street mlk drive the ben franklin parkway come together by the art museum.

Satellite6 and action radar showing these rounds of rain and theyre kind of moving in from these bands off the coastline. Thats why theyre lifting up to the north and west. The actual area of low pressure is still down to the south and there you see it kind of sitting and spinning in the atmosphere and just allowing all of this rain to move through. See that heavier rain still down to the south. Thats going to hit us late this morning. So, heres what you can expect today at 8 00 a. M. , 54 degrees. Some rain around, some showers, lots of clouds here or there. By 10 00 a. M. , 57. The steadiest rain comes at some point late Morning Hours into the afternoon hours.

In the overnight hours just some showers into tomorrow morning, maybe a little bit of drizzle and lots of clouds. But it gets out of here in time for thursday which is day one of the nfl draft.

Mlk drive is opened at the moment. You can get to 24th street and the vine from mlk.

I would stay at least several block block away, 54th and woodland could be some alternates. A crash along 95 southbound side just off the girard point bridge near enterprise avenue. Now pushed to the Left Shoulder but sluggish as you head southbound toward Philadelphia International airport this morning. Tam. All right, thank you, matt.

Reporter good morning, tam, thats right, theres a lot of road restrictions. There already have been and theyve just been rolling them out over the last several weeks. So, this morning there are even more and of course what happened yesterday is that the inner and the outer lanes are now closed of the ben franklin parkway. You can still see some cars might be coming through on the cross streets, were on 22nd street. Occasionally you might see cars passing behind me but theyre just going through on the cross street. The inner lanes are now closed. Of course the outer lanes closed last week. You can see the tents, you can see the equipment, you can see the work continues here. There is going to be a little bit of fun today. The Community Kickoff will take place this afternoon in society hill but in the meantime, the work continues in this final stretch before the draft on thursday. Its massive. I cant believe how big it is. It goes back like five blocks. Reporter the stage is nearly set. The nfl draft begins thursday. Last night at 7 00 the city closed the inner lanes of the ben franklin parkway. The outer lanes were already shut down last week. Workers are in the final stages of preparations and the excitement is building. Its exciting. Theres a lot going on this weekend. We have the penn relays. We have, you know, the draft obviously. Its pretty cool to see the setup. Reporter but the enthusiasm is not universal as traffic restrictions get tighter and mobility more limited. Barricades and equipment are set up up and down the parkway. Its like so much chaos, so much before its actually happening. Its not fair to the people who live here. I mean they could have done things differently. We had the pope, we had the dnc. We can handle it. It wont be that bad at all.

Crews though quickly knocked down the fire. No injuries were reported. Officials have not said if the fire was an accident or if they think it was set on purpose. Meteorologist karen rogers tracking showers out there. Thats right. Lets take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan help you plan this morning. Were dry in philadelphia. In south jersey and delaware at the moment we can see those showers that are off the coast in cape may. Theyre actually pulling in off the coast so theyll be hitting Atlantic City and cape may before you know it. I want to go in closer to the area thats getting some rain right now. Its in reading, in allentown and bethlehem and quakertown driving on the northeast extension youre wet and in milford township but dry currently in philadelphia. Were having rounds of rain today. Lets go outside and show you what it looks like right now. Looking pretty miserable. You know, even though we dont have any actual rain there, its just misting and you kind of get in sense, we have low clouds, mist, periods of rain a chilly wind. Weve had some better days. Look at that temperature right now. Sitting at 53 degrees. The dewpoint 51. The pressure is falling. The winds are out of the eastnortheast sustained at 15 but we could see gusts up to 35 miles an hour today. Even more so along the coastline. The ocean temperature is 52. Heres satellite6 and action radar and you can see this rain in motion, these rounds of rain kind of pulling in off the ocean wrapping around an area of low pressure. So you can see the neck band thats down to our south. That will be crossing through the area. I think the steadiest rain, though, thats that rain thats still well down to the south. Ive got a better view of this. Right around this area of low pressure. See that circulation . Watch right there. Okay, so thats the rain wrapping around it and when this heavy rain hits us, that will be the steadier slug of rain that we get late this morning into the early afternoon hours so periods of rain today, a nasty day. A chilly wind. Highs staying in the 50s. Were in the 50s now. Were not budging out of the 50s. By 8 00 a. M. 54. At that point clouds with some showers. By 10 00 a. M. , 57. I think sometime late morning into the afternoon and evening thats when that steadier rain comes in. Raining pretty good at noon at 57. At 3 00 p. M. Temperatures dipping a little bit, 55. Back up to 58 at 6 oclock and i think future tracker gives you a good perspective of this. This model shows at 11 30 most of the area coming in with rain especially south of the city and pulling through the area at 4 oclock you see some areas of heavy rain moving in as well with these periods of rain. By 7 30 and i know the phils play tonight tit looks like some of that steadier rain lifting out but well still be in and out of some rain. Kind of get the showers through. Tomorrow morning kind of drizzly and not as bad but starting off tomorrow damp. By thursday nfl draft things are great. We have clouds and sunshine and very warm temperatures, a high of 80. Well be about 79 at 4 oclock. So, hang in there. We will see the sunshine again. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, periods of rain today and a chilly wind. 58 for your high.
