Philadelphias red cross say they are also getting calls from people around the area asking to help. They say blood or money is the important need, not clothes.

We spoke with officials from the Better Business bureau who are already warning about potential scams. They recommend you do your research before donating. Part of the reason for all this flooding is because of the storms slow moving track. Thats right. And meteorologist Melissa Magee something for cecily tonight. Shes in the Weather Center with where harvey is headed next. Rick and sharrie, re, the reason it is moving so slowly theres no steering down the current to push the system out and away from texas.

In fact as you look at the accumulated rainfall weve seen since friday, now this storm system made landfall just to the north of Corpus Christi in an area close to rockport but if you look at the rain, weve seen about 15 to 20inches just to the north of houston and the purple shaded areas there, about eight to 15inches of rain in the white shaded locations.

Its not until thursday afternoon that well start to find some progress to the north and east with this storm starting to pull away.

Time for a check our action news traffic report monday night. Hi, gina. With the phils game at 7 09 expect southbound 95 traffic and it looks like the southbound side of 95 is fine because right now you can see youre in the green about 15 minutes but we are still seeing a northbound delay on 95 and this is right at the work zone at girard avenue. So its definitely sluggish in this area. About 22 minutes between the vine out to woodhaven but again as we head towards first pitch expect that southbound side to be very crowded. Lets take a live look outside as well. I want to show you the vine street expressway. On the vine were seeing a mix. Looks like now were seeing that westbound side pretty heavy but the eastbound side cooling down a little bit but i would say definitely expect delays from about eighth street out through to 95. Rick and sharrie, back over to you. Gina, thank you. Theres still much more ahead on action news at 5 00.

Our coverage of the damage being left behind by harvey continues at this hour. A live look now from spring, texas, where a road there just became flooded with even more water in recent time as we take a look here, a vehicle approaching but that is all water where it should be a road and also the entranceway to i45. Theyre going south. Instead its all water as this live look we take from texas of the flooding there in the streets in spring, texas. Health check tonight. That flooding catastrophe houston has caused the state of emergency of health and Human Services has declared a Public Health emergency. Medical needs will continue to grow. Health reporter and registered nurse ali gorman joining us at the big board. There are dozens of hospitals in the houston area many like this one are just surrounded by water. This makes it almost impossible to get staff in and also to receive supplies like blood that the hospitals depend on daily. Now, ben taub General Hospital started taking on water in the basement and was ordered to evacuate. There are 350 patients inside. They did attempt to move patients on ventilators but it wasnt safe so theyre waiting for the water to recede. The hospital still has power but they are running out of food. Meanwhile teams deployed by health and Human Services have helped evacuate more than 180 patients from three hospitals in victoria, texas. Theyre also out delivering supplies and have activated the Blood Disaster Task force to evaluate the need and replenish blood supplies. And unfortunately outside the hospital, people with chronic medical needs such as those on dialysis could go without care for several days. Unsanitary and standing water presents a huge problem. In other medical news there may be another not so well known benefit to breast milk and it could help prevent gut problems like colitis and crohns disease. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic collected breast milk samples from 40 women and isolated a compound commonly known as hyaluronic acid. The compound was that effective in treating mice with inflammatory bowel disease. It also helped to ward off salmonella bacteria. Such an attractive thing because its not an antibiotic, its what it does is turn on the bodys innate, you know, inborn mechanisms to protect itself. Now tthe research is still in the early stages but theyll also be looking to see if it can work against other types of bacteria as well. Rick and sharrie back to you.

It was a good start to the day temperatures on the cool side. Clouds are starting to increase. Well show you sky6 live in hd. We are down the shore in cape may. It looks beautiful but probably dont want to venture out in the water because the ocean is churning right now and the rough surf is pretty choppy as well. As we get into tomorrow, we do have some shore concerns. Were looking at waves anywhere from six to 10 feet high, dangerous rip currents especially with an easterly wind off of the atlantic. Wind gusts tomorrow anywhere from 40 to 45 Miles Per Hour. And were tracking a system from the south working its way northward so rainfall anywher from a half inch to an inch of rain likely across coastal sections of new jersey. Also in delaware as well. Looking at the numbers, its pretty comfortable. Philadelphia right now 73 degrees. 73 as well in trenton. 75 in wilmington right now. At the coast in cape may coming in at 72. Allentown in at 73 degrees. Heres satellite6 along with action radar and this is what were tracking for tomorrow. You could see that area of low pressure just off the coast of the carolinas. So, this has the likelihood of turning into a tropical system as it works its way northward. Whether it becomes tropical or not the impacts are pretty much the same across the delaware and Lehigh Valleys. So for the rest of tonight and tonight and over the next 12 hours, well drop down to 57 in allentown, 64 in the city. Future tracker6 takes you into time and were tracking this moisture that will be working its way northward. You can see most of that moisture pushes off shore but some of those bands could work their way into our region. As we get into tomorrow afternoon. So some light showers there in south jersey, off into delaware. I would allow for some precipitation in the city and points to the south especially as we go throughout tomorrow afternoon but by wednesday morning we clear out nicely and clear skies means plenty of sunshine by midweek. But we do have that wind advisory by tuesday afternoon into tuesday night. Its for coastal atlantic county, Cape May County and also for the beaches there in delaware. We could find gusts at the coast anywhere from 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour. Heres the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast. Breezy wi
