in the track area, to immediately notify the cashier, or hit the emergency box, which goes directly to the transit police. now the cashier can signal incoming trains to stop. both the victim and the good samaritan were treated for non-life threatening injuries. wow that was really amazing, very brave of everyone. >> indeed. >> 4:43. so i have my big umbrella today, kate. >> i good job. >> i forgot the other day. i just wanted to give her an idea how big it is. >> sorry ukee, you can't fine your umbrella. >> i need. that will we could all use that. >> it is coming down, and pretty steady rain coming down with the brunt every what's coming through really just kind of weak frontal boundary. so it has some juice to work with essentially here, but really just going to be seeing i think scattered showers as the rest of the day progresses. so if you are about ready to hit the road right now especially through south-central new jersey, very likely going to run into some pockets of steadier, heavier rain.

this is another prime example of where the rain is falling heavily. tough to tell at this time of the morning without the bright of day not that you will see a heck of a lot of rain, but rain falling here, glow being cast from the boardwalk lights in rehoboth beach coming down pretty steadily across portions every delaware right now. see how the brunt of this has rolled through in the last few hours, very wet roads obviously, and spray from vehicles, but there is at least few breaks on the way here. it is very evident as you just look off to the west. that's eventually what's going to happen. for us, we see brunt of this move out to sea just left with even probably couple of peaks of sun not many, but enough that it helps warm us back up low 70s then see scattered showers off and on throughout the rest of the day. i think we have the wherewithall to hit the low 70s, so even despite cold front passage not bad despite the cold front passage, actually warmer tomorrow, kind of backward, hey, mother nature does what she wants sometimes. actually looking at a well above average day here, not just 70s talking upper 70s

with sunshine, patchy clouds, i mean, just a gem of a day. looking ahead to sunday, seasonable conditions. there is actually weak cold front that crosses through and then sign of things to come off to the southwest, a very soggy mess, coming our way by monday. so, the weekends is a time to enjoy, because we are sort of seeing this, you know, rain sandwich setting up here with the scattered showers today it all tapers off later tonight, pretty mild, too low of 59. then your eyewitness weather seven day forecast features beautiful weather yet again this weekend specially tomorrow. and a very soggy day on monday. vittoria? >> good morning, katie. good morning everyone. traveling the majors right now as katie was saying definitely wet outside. but because we're not seeing rush hour, and still volume is pretty much non-existent, the roads look not that bad. at the schuylkill expressway, 76 commute eastbound making your way toward university. we do have accident situation it is on the shoulder, the roads wide open, but you will slow down in this area if this is where you are headed, any

sort of activity usually causes somewhat after gaper delay. so something to be minds full of. let's talk about construction vine street expressway. take a look at this waiting line. >> this would be the westbound side of the vine. it is closed after broad street. so that means you can still exit at the broad street ramp. but take a look at the delay that this is causing. if you are trying get into center city, traveling on 95, i would definitely suggest maybe taking callowhill, or spring garden maybe. because right now traveling on the vine street expressway at least until 5:00 a.m. you only have about 15, 20 minutes, give or take or so left of the construction, but again, broad street to 15th, jfk to 39th street. do you have few options in and around the area. again coming from 95, callowhill best bet, no delays for mass transit. ukee? >> thank you torrey. the phillies try to break five game losing streak as they resume their series with the nationals tonight in washington. fifth inning last night, tied at two runs apiece, cole hamels delivers the pitch to michael taylor, and taylor

delivers big time. gone. that breaks a tie. to the sixth inning. brian zimmerman drove it to right field, jayson werth and bryce harper score. nationals top the phillies. final score last night five to two, in favor of the net. >> well the sixers end their season with a third worse record in the nba. eighteen and 64. they had coach breath brown focuses on the nba draft lottery on may 19th. now the players will be coming to philly next month to start the off season program. but, fans, want to know when the six letters have that winning record. coach brown gave some insight on patience. >> i hope that people looking they're playing their hearts out it will translate into winning. i hope they see some level of patience, that will ultimately produce things that will come our way that are good, nothing is built easy. >> once we say that roster it is moving. moving to soccer, no, new york moving on, yankee stadium, 86

minutes, union trailing, cj gets the job done. and scores. it ends with the union and new york tied at one goal apiece. good game. erika, back to you. >> sorry! i'm sore. >> i all right, ukee. >> i'm sorry. >> i'll gave you a pass. >> it won't happen again. >> thank you ukee. still ahead on "eyewitness news" this morning, cable company fights back in the battle against streaming video. but first, here's a look at what's on tonight on cbs-3.

>> good morning, verizon slimming down and un bun link its tv packages.

fios customers will be able to sign up for certain groups of channels, they want to watch like sports, or kids, verizon and other providers have been facing competition from streaming services, so the cheapest plan would cost about $55 a month. ukee natasha? >> jill, i've always heard netflix taking toll on the movie theater business. but, we now hear new strategy on part of the theatres is actually working. what's going on? >> yes, big kurby seats and other upgrades, are paying off. new survey finds customers like the improvements, and, it actually would make them more likely to head to an actual movie theater to catch a flick. and amc1 chain spending hundreds of millions of dollars to install seats that fully recline and some of its auditoriums, a lot of other theatres are improving the food selections at the concession. so a lot of improvements there. but, nothing wrong with those big kurby seats. >> yes. >> i know, we have a couple of those theatres in our area and the one in my

neighborhood, getting ready to install them. so it is on. game on. >> nothing like that experience begin deed, love. >> the challenge every course staying up. >> don't let me fall asleep. going to be a good film. all right thanks, jill. talk to you. >> coming up after a short break, traffic and weather together, we do it on about the three's stay with us, back in

traffic and weather together. good morning. >> good morning, everyone, we want to show you little video of what occurred earlier if you are traveling throughout the area of west oaklane. cheltenham avenue eastbound at 19th street a vehicle you'll notice turned onto its side at this point had slipped and went into a tree. this is right at the area of 19th. again, in the cheltenham section, west oaklane. so if this is where you are headed, 73rd avenue would be

your best alternate at they're on the scene now still investigating the accident. so again cheltenham avenue eastbound at 19th. seventy-third being your best alternate. that's a really good way to mention how slippery conditions are on the roadways, it is not only on the majors, but also in the neighborhoods. so just be mine full of. that will moving now to the majors, schuylkill expressway, rush hour non-existent, eastbound side of the schuylkill approaching university, we do have accident on the shoulder there. notice, police are on scene. it is not anything major because it is on the shoulder, but it is out there. watch out for construction on the vine. they are finally allowing traffic to bypass broad street, so the westbound side of the vine is open, as a result of the bridge construction, but very well, rainy, damp and i think going to be very slow commute. katy? >> i almost guarantee it, yes vittoria. looks like the brunt of the rain is actually starting to creep through new jersey right now, and it will likely be clearing the coast probably, over the course of the next hour and a half or so. you're still going to be stuck with all of the damp conditions that are left

behind. so, storm scan three as we take this look here, very obvious, i mean, your eye gets immediately drawn into south and central new jersey, that's where the brunt of the showers are coming through, and obviously they're coming through pretty steadily for some of you as well. so calling this the brunt of our frontal boundary, it is not a very strong front when it comes to cold air it, does have moisture to work with here initially so as we go throughout the rest of the day here, as you're traveling likely see break in the clouds this afternoon, maybe hint of sunlight. but it will remain damp even into tonight as we still have got scattered showers to get through through this evening natasha, back to you. >> thank you so much. coming up in the next hour of cbs-3 "eyewitness news" this morning, we are live, new developments after police shoot a man overnight. >> also, a new clue in the search for the driver wanted for a deadly hit-and-run that killed a young boy. >> and daring rescue, with that suv dangling off the edge of a cliff. see how a stranger saved the driver that was trapped inside. we're back with you at the top

>> developing right now, gun is left behind, at the scene after philadelphia police shoot a man overnight. we're live with what officers say that man did just before they opened fire. >> frightening night on the job for another police officer, when a traffic stop ends with him getting run down by a car, we have new information about the injured officer, and the manna cured of hitting him. >> and could this video be the clue that helps police find a driver wanted for a hit-and-run that killed a young boy? good morning, i'm ukee washington. >> i'm natasha brown grab your umbrella buff head out the door this morning because we are dealing with a lot of wet weather already.

let's get right over to kate toy see if this will stick around katy? >> well, it will be sticking around at least natasha but i would say hat heaviest, steadiest of the rain that we'll find out there is happening even as we speak. so your morning drive is likely most affected, there will still be showers around, even into this evening. so just got to get the system through here. we start things off or take you back out again to another look here at storm scan3 yes there is some pretty steady, heavy rain rolling on through right now especially, south-central new jersey, delaware just got hit pretty hard, another pocket on the way for you as women. across the first state. here is another view, wider zoom for you to show that, yes, definitely still some moisture to work with behind this first more widespread batch. so, i think you're going to catch little break come about midday late morning midday. and then into the afternoon late afternoon early evening. specifically, we will start to see a few additional scattered showers firing up out there. in the meantime, actually off to pretty mild start. southwest flow, helping to keep tha
