it is going to be heavier in some spots then others and you can see on storm scan three as we put things in motion the last few hours some heavier pockets of the rain currently falling across chester county for example and shore points in the last few hours. that first batch is now moving out to sea. there is not a clear even point just yet but we do think by this afternoon things will dry out across the board. for now we are stuck with this. even if it isn't raining when you leave the house you may run into pockets of rain and see spray off vehicles. it is slowing everyone down regardless. visability, not horrible right now we're down to 4 miles at the airport. 4 miles wilmington. 3 miles ac airport. you don't have fog necessarily but with that wet weather again that will reduce your visibility and because it is wet outside, would i suggest that umbrella if you are going out the next couple of hours. expect to see these temperatures rebound in the 70's even though we should dry

out with just some clouds. do expect that because of the cloud cover temperatures won't have a chance to climb that readily. we're talking upper 70's at best nicole, back to you. an accident caused big problems on i-95 in chester. it happened right after 11:30 near exit six. several vehicles were involve in the crash and for a while police shut down all north bound lanes for that investigation. we will get an update with vittoria she's standing by with more on that, vittoria. >> thanks very much, nicole. right now traveling on i-95 has been all cleaned up, but with the setbacks it has caused you may notice that there could be some construction activities in and and that area as far as clean up goes because that is what happens when you you have something so severe. northbound i-95 even though it a has been cleared be mindful it may set you back a tad this morning. in regards to the majors we

are moving well with the exception it is damp a and wet outside. taking a look at the vine street expressway difficult to see in this shot here but eastbound on the vine is opened westbound however right and left lane are closed because of construction between area of broad street, and schuylkill expressway. traffic on both sides or at least you noticed it was on both sides. we're doing okay, access both schuylkill and i-95 between vine street expressway with the construction out there this morning. schuylkill right around girard, traveling in either direction here again no delays majors are very quiet. no major delays for mass transit but call ahead at the airport, erika. back to our breaking news in south carolina police are still searching for gunman who shot and killed nine people in the historic, black south carolina church. pastor, state senator clemente pickany is among those kill. police say suspect opened fire in the emmanuel a.m. e church during a prayer meeting last
