You should be okay with that convertible. Seventys by friday. Today, not so much. Okay. Lets talk about the number of the day. It is a five out of ten, rain is on the way, bus stop buddy has the best advice, bring the umbrella with you. You dont need it now but you will later on. Temperatures in the 40s and 50s, at least it the is not as cold as it was yesterday at this time. So, you see the rain, most of it, in at least the leading edge heading toward washington d. C. Right now. Were in the seeing anything falling from the clouds but we are seeing clouds in our area right now, with a temperature of 54 degrees in philadelphia we just had sunrise at 5 44. Southbound westerly breeze at 6 miles an hour, 44 in the mountains. Fifty in reading. Down in wilmington, 52. Fifty millville. Fiftythree Atlantic City. So temperatures will in the move a whole lot, we could see a few peaks of sunshine today but mostly clouds and showers and a High Temperature of 62 degrees, your sunset is 8 11. That takes care of your tuesday, we will talk about the rest of the workweek and perhaps a rainy weekend, bob kelly. You got it, sue. 6 02. Good morning everybody on a tuesday. Live look downtown philadelphia, backed up here as folks exit the vine street expressway getting over to 30th street station. We have green on the screen radar wise but notice not hitting surface level yet. That is good news. Be ready as day goes on we will get wet and first one out the door gets the best umbrella no problems here on i95 as you head toward downtown. Septa is using shuttle buses, through next month now, on the 101 trolley, between providence and orange. That will add a couple extra minutes. When you get on the and off the trolley, vice versa. Keep that in mine. We are good to go on the schuylkill. In problems up and down 476. Take a look at this missing manhole cover. This has been missing since friday. I got a text from somebody, passed it on to the streets department. Still missing. Thinks seventh street just north of market and is there only a few little cones standing between you and disaster. Imagine your front even your entire tire will get swallowed up in there along seventh street. Be careful, seventh off of market. Dave kinchen on the scene of this accident this morning at 11th and south with some local detours but otherwise mass transit is looking g mike and alex, back over to you. Thanks, bob. New details developing about what led to last years deadly derailment of amtrak 188. Federal investigation points to the engineer and whether he was paying close to what he was doing, was he more concerned about twoway traffic, radio traffic, about a septa train getting hit by a big rock. Hi there steve. Reporter but we now know it is not the just engineers fault that these investigators found but fault of the bunch of factors that created this disaster starting with those vandals tossing rocks down on the passing trains near where we are again this morning which had both a septa and amtrak train engineers on the radio with track dispatchers leading to amtrak 188. Brandon bostian to lose track where he was on the busy northeast corridor. That will be among findings taken up in the hearings down in washington. Saying that bostian lost what is called Situational Awareness just before the big frankford curve here, distract by all of the talk on the radio just before he sped up to 106 miles an hour. Then there will be the completely obvious recommendation investigators expected to make while concluding that the engineers being distract that having two engineers and not just one, would have been safer. No kidding. That is why airplanes have co pilots in case one is overcome by sickness like a heart attack or one in the bathroom. Wall street journal reports this morning other recommendations will include ordering the windows on the railcars changed because their factor and failure led to the causes of many of the deaths and injuries from being thrown from the train from the crash and there will be recommendations even for philadelphia officials here alex and mike and how to better tiehl with the mass casualty. Maybe what we already know as well, that if that automatic train slow down system had been in place, like it is now and was until seven months after the crash none of it would have happened no matter what the engineer was doing. Exactly right. Plus there is in reason to go 106 miles an hour anywhere between 30th street station and frankford, you never get more than 80 miles an hour. Steve, thank you you for that. A Police Officer is expect to be okay after an overnight accident, this is right at 11th and south, police say the cruiser collided with the bread truck, and at that intersection at 2 00 this morning. She was on her way, red lights and sirens with other officers when a call along, she was trying to get to third and south where there was a fist fight in the the middle of the street.
