The time is 4 44, meisha is watching the roads. I am. To be continued . Good morning, everyone, happy friday. Roads are looking good. Okay, katie is tracking rain as we head into the weekends. I certainly a. M. It looks like kind of lackluster frontal boundary, ill be honest, this thing has been responsible for producing hit i heavy rain back to the planes, not necessarily the case here for us even at the wide zoom. You can see granted you have couple of pocket of heavier rain, i wont be shock if we see maybe localized brief but heavy downpour come along with this, at the moment atmosphere still moist inning itself up here. We will see some sun initially, but the clouds continue to build with time. And then it is this guy there is whole thing has to cross through. So you can see some of the moisture getting drawn in on the leading edge of the front, still held off back toward the midwest. But once that front does cross, we are going to see the most in terms of any kind of widespread activity on the radar. We will show that to you in future weather. Again, not picking up on a heck of a lot. You know, one of the days where it may end up being your call. Do you want to take the umbrella along . Go for it but you may not actually have to break it out. By 9 00 a. M. , mikely sunshine to work with here, you might want the sunglasses too. Couple of speckles picking up on dollars radar by late morning, toward the p. M. Hours, also trying to push this back later and later, so generally toward evening, scattered, key word scattered showers, maybe some heavy rain though, picking up here and again this is model, isnt exactly where the pockets will september. But in toward overnight in fact we will still have little wet weather to dodge possibly even as late as tomorrow morning before skies quickly clear out. You will see that sunshine from northwest to southeast. Looking at the air temperatures, it is nice and mild to kicks things off, 62 degrees at the airport, 60 in millville, ac, mid 60s in dover, so you get the idea, very warm beginning to the day, warm, breezy, definitely expecting to see some showers pop up though through the afternoon and toward night fall. But look at that, i think well deal with harmless rotation at 80 degrees before the front crosses then back into some nice weather for the weekend, meisha. Just going zero say that, talk about the rain, forget it will almost be 80. Amazing, good morning, everyone, happy friday to you. We have this disable truck here, you can see, very dark outside. So the schuylkill westbound, off ramp to Henderson Road pulled all the way off blocking right lane shoulderment make note of. That will it is out there. Very difficult to see. Construction on the vine was out there. Looks like the westbound side is opening up now, eastbound side is still closed between broad and schuylkill. Make note of that. But, one area that has cleared just now, construction 95 north between route 320 and the blue route, two right lanes block for little while there because of the construction, again, all cleared. Emergency work is completed on the delaware memorial bridge. Oh, im sure such great news to wake up to this morning. Three southbound right lanes now open. Only one still blocked, thats the far left lane. Make note. That will help your commute this morning. Also in the world of mass transit, regional Trolley Service resumes 5 00 a. M.

So, so many days and recent days here. But storm scan starting to moisten up here. Seeing moisture across upstate new york, few pocket of steadier rain, matter of time before it moves in for us. At this point everything that comes through will be scattered. I think that really is the key word of the day. But it looks lick it is a little bit later, into the day, and toward night fall.
