Good morning karen, good morning, everybody. So walk on the mild side weatherwise but not a walk on the wild side yet on the traffic front. So far looks pretty good just overnight construction on the schuylkill expressway. Eastbound side. These are the two eastbound lanes right here and you dont see any traffic moving in them because all traffic is forced off here at 30th street and then you can reenter or you can get on the vine street expressway, which at this hour looks fine with no construction but the eastbound side of the schuylkill is still closed for that work this morning. It will be gone in the next half hour. Westbound you have a zone between south and the vine taking out one lane and then farther west theres another zone between the blue route and 202. No overnight work along 95. Work that we had scheduled in chester didnt happen so youre good to go along 95 early this morning.

Last night a newly elected school board voted five to four to stop the building of the 58 million new middle school. The School District had already spent over 10 million on the project. It had been approved by the prior board despite widespread opposition from residents who worried their school taxes would go up to fund the new building. Those in favor made a plea that stopping the project would be fiscally irresponsible since construction is already under way. What we need to invest in education are our children, right . This would be the first school weve built in 30 years. I dont think thats unreasonable. We have overcrowding in our elementary schools. Those opposed say with interest the school would have cost upwards of 90 million. The battleship new jersey will be the setting for a pearl harbor remembrance today.

Some people in the cities of ventura and santa paula are displaced as firefighters try to contain the inferno. It jumped a state route out there causing the highways closure as it continue to eat through dry brush on both sides. One person was killed in a rollover crash while trying to flee the flames on a closed road. Some homes are already in ruins. As it often is, winds are fueling the fire. The county Fire Department staffed an extra 100 firefighters in anticipation of the gusts. They are too strong to fight the fire by air. Those flames just its hard to see that, right, when you know people are fighting so hard to save that area. We have rain in our area. Take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan. Near trenton thats ground clutter near our radar site but towards State College you start to see a shower forming there. Lets go outside right now. Wevl lit up and ready for the day here looking live at city hall with our sky6 camera and checking the current numbers for you this morning, its 47 degrees on the mild side this morning for sure compared to yesterday. 43degree dewpoints so a lot of moisture in the atmosphere andein arriving later on. The winds aast cover. Thre breezy. The pressure is falling rently and fog is an issue in some areas. At this point not in the cty but well keep an eye on that. Satellite and radar showing lots of clouds in the region. You see this little batch of showers thats moving up right now heading towards delaware . That could clip part of our region but the real rain that were going to see, thats out here to the west and were going to be dealing with it later this afternoon and evening so today you may see a spotty shower early on but its late this afternoon and evening where were dealing with some pretty steady rain. The other issue is just the mild temperatures, getting up to 63 for this time of year. Not bad at all. By 6 00 a. M. Its 50. By 8 00 a. M. , 52 degrees. Again in some areas may see a little drizzle, spotty shower, so even though you want to get out there and enjoy the temps that are so mild its going to be a little bit damp at times but the actual rain that will be more significant will start to hit us late in the afternoon into the evening hours and ive got future tracker six. This is a new model run just showing that later on tonight at 8 30 i think well be seeing it before that, but this model is showing at 8 30 some heavier rain moving through the i95 corridor and we see at 11 oclock still along the coastline before it pulls all out of here. Definitely in time for the morning tomorrow. So, what you can expect tomorrow would be much cooler temperatures behind that front its going to feel chilly for sure. Well have an early high of 49. I think it will be lower than that in the afternoon hours so its going to be a little bit of a topsyturvy day. Youll be feeling the wind gusts as well so not only cooler air but windy. Heres your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, today is mild with rain arriving. May start off with a little bit of drizzle, quick shower may sneak in but its late this afternoon into the evening the pluck of the steadier rain comes through. It ends overnight. Tomorrow is chilly with a gusty wind. Its going to feel colder than that 49. Thursday is brisk and chilly, only 45 for your high. Friday we could even see a late snow shower sneak through in one or two spots, 41 degrees. Saturday a rain or snow shower possible, especially later in the day and 42. The coastal storm will be near us but i think it really misses us on sunday partly sunny and cold, 41. Monday staying cold, 41. I debated if i should call that chilly or cold but i dont know, im going to be cold so 41 degrees for a high. Not stoogeing too pretty. Overnight in the 20s. Weve been warning you that the long term models were showing colder air starting to come in and were starting to see that in the sevenday forecast. About that time. Thank you.

They still have the two eastbound lanes closed here by 30th street and the vine street expressway. So, those are your two options. Exit at 30th or exit onto the vine. You cant keep going east on the schuylkill but within 10 minutes you should be able to once again. Of course well let you know when that reopens. Also more work were watching on 276, the pennsylvania turnpike. Eastbound close to willow grove the left lane is out of commission and westbound close to Fort Washington theyre in the right lane and center lane working there. Should be gone before too long. Now on the turnpike in bucks county a zone in each direction westbound the left lane is blocked, eastbound the right lane just to the west of the Delaware Valley interchange. But overnight construction at the triple b, burlington bristol bridge has cleared out so youre good to go there. All lanes reopened on the bridge.
