through with the wipers between point a and point b here, a chemical spill on route one southbound at harrison street centered above trenton, new jersey and construction out on the northbound northeast extension near that quakertown interchange, keep in mind, heading to or through wilmington expect delays because of the closure of 495 and dart is averaging 20 minute delays in the city with the buses. natasha, back over to you. well, new this morning a suspect is in custody accused of stabbing another person in the emergency room at crozer-chester medical center. police say that suspect walk into the er at 11:00 last night and attack the victim. no word right now on the motive behind this stabbing or if the suspect and victim knew each other. up land police say they will have have more details on this case a bit later today. west philadelphia man is arrested and charged with causing a major scare at lincoln tunnel. thirty-nine year-old donald wallace called 911 tuesday and claimed he would shoot people

400,000 tons of garbage by train instead of the trucks. company insist the amount of trash won't change, just method of transportation. >> there is no increase in the amount of waste that we would receive on a daily basis and no increase in the processing rate of the facility. >> the smells that come out of there, you cannot open up the windows, you cannot go outside. >> reporter: after hearing the plan which calls for an additional building and resident concerns, the planning board decided todd put off a roth for 30 days until they can tour the facility. also developing right now, iraqis fighting a violent on slaught by insurgents pressing closer to bag dad. iraqi government forces were digging in to battle islamic militants in the outskirts of the oil city of kirkuk but 90 miles away, it had fallen in militant hands with barely a fight. they want to establish a fundamentalist islamic state. senate voted to help

thousands of veterans waiting for medical care. it passed a bill authorizing $35 billion over three years, that would pay for outside care for veterans. the the measure would also hire hundreds of doctors, nurses and at least 26 new health care facilities in 17 states and puerto rico. that bill now moves on to the house. well, there is no break from the rain this week. >> just a miserable week. do you remember last year around u.s. open in merion and it rained through the first two days of it. it is this time of the year. we get these systems that bring moisture and that is what we're dealing with this week. we have on and off unsettled weather but scattered showers and thunderstorms, heavy downpours with any of these as we tap into tropical moisture lifting from the south. storm scan three is live a lot of rain off to the west. there is slight risk for severe weather in portions of central pennsylvania. not so much for us but we have the risk for flash flooding and that is thanks again to the amount of moisture in the

atmosphere. we will feel tropical humidity as we get a south wind to kickback up. it is cool but we will start warm up. as it does so once we get in the heating of the day these showers and storms will intensify and will be locally heavy. triple sweep not showing too much, just a stray shower over bucks and montgomery county. but a flash flood watch will go in effect through noon and late tonight. this is in response to the the storms we had earlier in the week. very similar set up. storms will not be every where but where ever they do form they will be heavy. in that flash flood watch scattered afternoon heavy thunderstorm with rain rates exceeding an inch per hour and we will watch for ponding on the roads and watching those smaller streams as well. some spots may not get wetest specially in south jersey, other spots could look at over an inch or two of rain in the very short period of time. that is afternoon time hour around 3:00 p.m. it is in the every where but locally heavy showers and storms will form. what i'm concern about is they

look like they will be drifting from south to north. if a storm moves over an area and another one forms behind it it is another threat for flooding. tomorrow afternoon it explodes again, showers and storms locally heavy but finally by saturday morning we will clear it out and much nicer weather is on the way for up come fathers day weekend. clouds, fog, showers, heavy thunderstorms. tonight more showers. muggy at 68. heavy storms late tomorrow. then we will get a break, we are looking at 80's with sunshine saturday, sunday, monday as well and warm and steamy again next tuesday. we can use the break from this pattern, natasha. let's chat about sports here, day game today at the ballpark, phillies host padres this afternoon, first pitch 1:05. phillies won two in a row. last night against padres jimmy rollins inches closer to the all time hits record. he is three hits from passing hall of famer mike schmidt.
