ocean city, tells it is will be a little slippery walking out the door. be ready for that. even if it stops raining, you had rain last night to the north and west counties, so at this point you're just left with the spray coming off of other vehicles, that kind of thing. but we still have got some pretty decent activity on this radar. this is your snapshot. man, it's a mess out there. again, area every low pressure since redeveloped on the tail end of the front. so this isn't the front necessarily, but it is still plenty of moisture that we have to get rid of before we can say okay, we're finally drying out. that will will take us to midday, little sooner for philly little later for the coast, something all sort of moving in or moving away from northwest to southeast. so specially through the early morning, that's when you are still going to be running into the pocket of heavier downpours, on some of the major highways, be ready for that. slick, slow travel as a result, call it steady showers, but again there will be pockets of embedded heavier rain that come along with that, current winds speeds,

noticeable too here, still out of the north wells chilly wind flow, in other words as high as 14 to almost 20 miles per hour in any given location, and temperatures right now at least milder to start things off but we aren't really going to climb all that much. because we have cold front. you can see where it hasn't crossed, still in the 60s at this hour, raleigh charleston, down it the caroline's. front hasn't crossed there it eventually will, everybody maine down to florida basically will start to see much cooler air settling in. as it pertains to the rest of our area for the day here expect the wet weather to last us through the morning by noon maybe still some showers in philly, but generally speaking midday is the point where we see it all winding down. so, i go give or take an hour or two i give you that. generally this will be a first half of the day event in terms of the wet weather. later on today things do get chance to dry out. we will still be left with a lot of clouds, highs now cool near the upper, lower 50's, i should say. vittoria? >> good morning if you are

travel on the roads right now it is slick, it is damp, it is wet, so the best thing i can tell you just reduce your speeds, make sure to take it extra easy practicing extra caution out there. it is little dangerous, i wouldn't say a little built a lot dangerous. traveling 95 in particular, in the northeast right at cottman, where you will notice the southbound ramp here 295 is being blocked as a result of construction, you can maneuver through that very easily by staying on the roosevelt boulevard, then hopping on jump on harbison avenue, turns into aramingo, jump on 95 there. the ben franklin bridge, looking great all of the bridges looking great. not dealing with rush hour volume or delays, the only thing we do have to worry about is the slick spots. but the ben again and the rest of the bridges moving well. we do however have some weekends track work, for the manayunk-norristown regional rail line between norristown and conshohocken, shuttle bussing between saturday and sunday. check the schedules and stay updated on that. >> more on breaking news, a woman raped and robbed in philadelphia's port richmond neighborhood. >> we want to get right out to
