intersections. slow your roll. >> that is such a great point, ukee because even though aftermath is basically starting to get underway this storm system we have wet weather which we will show you but some of you are starting to dry out. we have will left over issues with this. what we're looking at here is a shaky camera in atlantic city any atlantic county where our frontal bound dry makes its retreat. i want to show you storm scan three. we have this huge batch of incredibly heavy rain out here. over the opened waters of the atlantic. we expect that this will start to draw upon the the atlantic moisture and it has but there are some pockets of the heavier stuff here, over land area. we will be running into this around i-95 interchange, up the new jersey turnpike, that kind of thing but note that is things are gradually putting things in motion, starting to dry out. back edge of your clouds, very evident right here but moisture is seeping in from the south, and so until this whole front clears from west

to east we will see these pockets moving through but it will start to taper with time. here's where we stan so far, reading is done but did you hit a daily record just shy of 3 inches. that none will be tweak here because of the overlap into the midnight hour and beyond when we still had wet weather out there. philadelphia pick up half inch. i mean is there such a disparity here which basically, means that we saw the the heavier stuff coming through in pockets. flood advisories are still posted despite the the rain starting to taper off here for poor drainage flooding for berks, up towards the pocono reason. that is it as far as advisory, watches and warnings. but you today, we are going to see those clouds break for a little sun. i could see a quick shower in some spots but overall this is a better day then yesterday, vittoria. >> thanks very much, katie. on the roads it is not looking so great. usually it is quiet. i'm kicking my feet back, nothing to talk about. this morning is different. we have a few accident

situations as a result of the weather here. traveling on the vine street expressway, i have passed this accident on the way in the studio. eastbound on the vine we have an accident blocking the right-hand lane approaching the area of the on ramp, well, ramp to the ben franklin bridge and i-95. if you are traveling east bound on the vine you'll bypass that. a few flares out and b penndot and police are on the scene. folks moving by just fine because there is no volume to talk about but regardless it vice slick out there probably what caused this accident as well, this is i-95 northbound. i know it is difficult to see but you can see southbound side the sign to continue in the city. north bound i-95 right around vine street expressways another accident out there blocking the right-hand lane. best thing to do right now to note when you goat outside and jump on the roads just take it easy because i don't want something like that to happen. looking at speed sensors they are good, 50's all over the map and a lot of green every where. we have an accident in montgomery county at the bethlehem pike at bergie road so be mindful of.
