our area as far as we are concerned, it goes into the upper bucks county area. that's flood advisories. and you have flashflood watches, these last us through the end too i have day. and that's going to spane sinkly most of the deer. -- moles of the area. then extreme northwestern counties so, right around the urban corridor dodging showers, thunderstorms could still be very heavy any time today essentially outside palmyra cove nature park, it is raining tough to tell, since we don't have the light of day just yet. certainly a dreary start to the day. difficult to make out the center city skyline off in the distance, mild and muggy start, should have enough wherewithall here to actually hit about 80 degrees, by the height of the afternoon but don't expect a heck of a lot of sunshine out there guys, more clouds than anything, certainly plenty of wet weather to go along with it, justin? >> that's right. good morning katie just bad placement of where this rain is right now right over i-95. so it will be a rough commute. as flooding will be an issue a lot of ponding on highways. we will check out the 42

1:30 this morning they arrive to heavy flames, smoke smoke again, that spread from the initial home, 418, which is a vacant home, to four other homes. now, this morning the fire marshall is on scene trying to determine a cause. but this neighborhood is really getting tired of seeing this. a vacant fire was here couple of days ago at 420 bickly place, fire marshall is still investigating that one. but the focus this morning is this fire, it is now out. but it certainly wasn't an easy fightment take a listen. >> 418 was vacant. there was nobody to rescue in 418. and the one next-door, the family was already out of the building upon our arrival. >> we had heavy fire showing first and second floor, and one in service with hands lines to the first floor and second floor, we laid supply line from the hydrant at 12th street. >> back out here live on scene, you can see firefighters, dozens of them, remain on the scene.

he didn't drink. he didn't smoke. he was a perfect gentleman at all times. >> beau biden also served as a major in the delaware national guard. he had plan to run for governor of delaware next year. and as many of you are aware there is isn't the first time vice president biden has dealt with family tragedy. he lost his first wife and one year old daughter after a car crash in 1972, just weeks after being elected to the senate. back in 2012, he spoke to families of fallen soldiers about losing a child. >> you see a flower it reminds you when you hear a tune on the radio or you just look up in the night and you know you think maybe, maybe i'm not going to make it, man. >> the vice president's first wife and daughter burried at st. joseph's on the brandywine in greenville, delaware. the biden family are parishioners of the church, that's where beau biden will

be laid to rest. funeral arrangements are still pending, so please, stay with us, we will have updates on television and on line at cbsphilly.com. 4:40 right nowment secretary of state john kerry, remains hospitalized in geneva switzerland. he broke his leg in a bicycle crash in france yesterday morning. surgeon who performed a hip surgery, the 71 year old on the 71 year old that's traveler to geneva accompanying him back to the u.s. kerry canceled the remainder of four nation trip that included an international conference on combating the islamic state group. >> it looks like brian williams might be done with nightly news for now. but he might not be finished with nbc. the new role the network is planning for the embattled anchor. >> some strong storms over night can we expect more throughout the day? katie next with a check on your forecast. we

police are calling a serious car crash at los

angeles international airport an accident. officials say a sports sedan slammed into a terminal, critically injuring a nine year old girl on the sidewalk, then it crash into an utility pole. police say the driver may have mistaken the gas pedal for the brake. the vehicle's driver and passenger suffered non-live threatening injuries. well sunshine is giving most of the state of texas a break from all of the flooding. but not around dallas. a eight year old girl died when the suv she was riding in crashed, and the impact through her into the flood waters. authorities in dallas country warning that some cities could see flooding that could affect this morning's traffic. right now 4:43, we have some rain of our own to talk about. big storms moving in. >> very heavy rain coming with these, could be severe thunderstorms that break out at some point later today. i don't think we will get a ton of sunshine to help really trigger anything too terrible. but sitting in a marginal risk. that's sort after side issue. i would say the rain is the bigger story. i mean, it pounding down.

>> ponding on the road coming in this morning major highs ways. careful. >> that's probably the biggest thing, umbrellas required, that's the thing also, you just got to take it easy. you will be naturally slowed down by the fact that this casino of weather is rolling on through. and, certainly, it is very beneficial rain. we don't want to take that away from it, but it is a little too much too soon. look at this, you have bright yellow orange, red indicating heaviest rainfall available. coming right through new castle county specially along the i95 corridor, then we also expect to see additional round of this, as the day goes on. this frontal boundary did not behave as we originally expected it would. it look like this would be dropping south kicking in end shore flow, still stuck with showers here today but nothing like what we have got out there now. had mind of its own, and eventually as this front drops south we are going to start to dry out. we think generally for the mid week. but, it is still going to be an interesting scenario, that unfold for us here, eventually, too, pieces of energy that move along this

trailing edge of the front too. so with that said, the future rain and the are definitely impressive. keep in mind, this is definitely a model, it is not gospel, but when you are talking about the potential for rainfall of this rate, and several round of it, you could end up with several inches of rain by the time it is all said and done. that will will wipe out the drought status in problem but it does come in obviously short amount of time. that will will lead to travel issues and all of the other issues that come with flooding. so flashflood watches, essentially in effect through the corridor of orange throughout the course of the day today. this is just this first round. little mid-morning break fresh round picks up by say mid to late afternoon and it will be somewhat scattered in nature but essentially i would say everyone will get in on another round of showers if not heavy thunderstorms especially later on tonight. we could be waking up to the thunderstorms yet again here. now i do want to jump you ahead here, take you out to the seven day give you sense of what's to come. today definitely the worse day when it comes to wet weather for sure.

see the temperatures get knocked back, lingering showers in the morning then should dry out wednesday thursday, and friday, keeping it optimistic, with partial sun, but i throw in at least the off chance for shower anyone of those days, as well. erika, back over to you. >> thank you. nbc executives may be giving former anchor brian williams a second chance. sources say the network is looking for a way to keep him employed. it is too soon to tell whether he will be back as the anchor of nightly news. williams suspended back in february a mid an internal investigation into story telling exaggerations. >> this weekend, marked the end of wonderful career for broadcast legend. >> and that is it for us today as i say good-bye for this last time, as moderator of "face the nation". i want you to meet all of the people who have work so hard to make this broadcast what it is over the years. here they are. and i want all of to you take a bow. >> for his final show yesterday, you saw it right there, bob schieffer welcomed
