good morning, we have a heads up, is there a backup on the schuylkill after a forry crashing kills two people ape send another person to the hospital. we have a live report coming up in a moment. the rain from overnight is starting to move out but the records still slick this morning. it could take to you get longer to get to work when you head out the door. just another head up for you. >> let's check that forecast. i was doing a mad dash to the door. >> thinks one of those days, where you need to carry an umbrella i said this stinks. >> i know. >> why can't i have just like eight tentacles. >> the road are wet too. >> they are super slick outside and we have been talking about that fatal crash

on the schuylkill. it is really terrible out there. we will have details on that but weather-wise, katie? at least is what goodies things are winding down in that department for the time being. i would say vittoria moving forward here we will see things get progressively better on the road as far as weather goes. i know they don't go hand a hand when it comes to the traffic pattern but what we see here is retreat of that huge line of lightening that has been moving through the delaware valley. it might have woke you up. i know it woke ukee's pets up. >> i know. >> yes the entire combine and his he will pack a as well but that is all out of here. it is more after a long island connecticut concern but we're seeing back edge to this. now again we're not out of the woods just yet but this is the brunt of what the day has up its sleeve. we have a flood advisory posted across central new jersey down as far south as new castle county and

southeastern, pa but that back edge have of wet weather is pretty much moving out of chester county as we speak. there are still flooded roadways, those should have a chance to drain out and recede with time. currently we're at 70 degrees at philly international and in the mid to upper 60's around the region here. when we talk dew point it is still up there. we will see it gradually decline but only by a couple degrees. but by the time we will get to the a afternoon we are down to 62. would still call this a noticeably humid day. not quite as steamy as what this morning will be but with that said you walk out the door you notice there is moisture content in the air. that is for sure. in the meantime what can you expect the rest of the day? partly sunny hot steamy, general story. there will be a spotty shower or thunderstorm in this forecast really at anytime today but especially towards the afternoon and then things should start to quiet down for us, as we head into tonight. so more than anything, vittoria, it noise where near

the coverage of what we saw yesterday and it is not as widespread of a severe threat either. so it is much better. >> we will take at least some good news. >> there you go. >> because unfortunately this weather is just damaging on the roads and causing extremely dangerous situations, like we have been watching here and keeping an eye on the schuylkill express waste all morning. around 3:30 this morning this fatal accident occurred. two fatalities have been reported, and with any incident that we talk about fatalities there will be an ongoing investigation for quite sometime. so traveling right now in the westbound side of the schuylkill as you move beyond this incident scene right at montgomery drive here is there only one lane getting by of traffic. as you will net is we have emergency teams on the scene here as they continue to investigate. this will definitely cause a delay, causing a delay right now but as we push closer to 6:00 o'clock it will impact your rush hour, so we will continue to keep you updated on. that now the rest of the schuylkill overall is not awful but it is wet ape slick.

we're moving down to the 30 bypass westbound at 340 where we have a down tree they are working on it. not causing a problem but we still have down trees ape flooding situations causing major problems for folks and also in new jersey we have an accident causing a problem for folks on 130 southbound, right around 38. so if you can avoid this area for sure and be mindful mass transit is still dealing with suspensions of the airport as well as wilmington newark line for regional rails erika. >> torey, thank you. state troopers are investigating a deadly accident vittoria was just talking about this on the westbound lanes of the schuylkill expressway. >> an investigation that could affect the morning commute obviously along that stretch.

lot of time to spend time at that scene and to loop around this morning. back out here live, we saw coroner leave a short time ago putting a tarp on the car, arriving to that area and leaving to continue their investigation. this could be either wrapping up shortly of perhaps could go a bit longer but as i look now further west, past exit 345 we are seeing an extended backup going clear down the schuylkill west this morning. pack your patients or find an alternate this morning. we are live from the schuylkill i'm just continue finch for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". right now 5:36. time for a check of your business news this morning. bookworms could be getting cash back. >> is what next for greece with their huge financial problems. money watch's jill wagner joins us from the new york stock exchange, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. european finance minister will consider a emerge i bail out loan for greece today. midnight local time greece

eyewitness weather watchers have been reporting some warmth. we are starting off around 07 degrees, just shy of tonight some spots. we will go to the north where resident pocono reporter we hear from very often. he is one of our gold star reporters, i like to call him that keith in sailorsberg. he has been seeing rain in the last 40 minutes or so. so within the last hour, that heavy rain is thankfully pulling away. and it all flash flood warnings, flash flood watches all that is gone out of effect. we have had some lightening earlier. they have standing water too on the roadways. depending on your location you may have travel troubles which vittoria will be talking about as we progress. we're at 64 degrees from john jenkins. he too has been dealing with the rain. thunder and disturbance in his sleep too we will show you why that is in a second. in the meantime not too much going on other than cloud cover in new jersey where mark

is located. he has 68. he says there is in rain. included are building. it is very soupy outside. the reason he is no the seeing rain. we will show you on storm scan. lets go back in time to talk about the storm reports that came in. thinks a short list. this is not exhaustive. there was one funnel cloud in fogelsville. trexlertown saw another one. wind damage in north kathy and cedarville had 64 miles an hour win gust. these storms meant business coming through last night and now this latest batch is sipping through. in fact where mark is in chatsworth he is getting in on a little bit of wet weather who inner at witt ines weather watcher network but brunt of heavy, nasty thunderstorms that is moving on out. so you are still going to see a shower or then are storm in, spots today there is a a good chance you don't see one drop of rain because it will be far less widespread in coverage. definitely steamy. high of 88 degrees. we will see at least things quiet down as we head forward in this forecast especially in

time for the holiday weekend vittoria. good morning everyone. to give you an idea on the schuylkill expressway traveling westbound we are still dealing with the scene of the fatal accident that has compromising pretty much every lane except the left lane. if you are traveling westbound on the schuylkill, stay to the left-hand lane as you try to approach the area of montgomery drive. we will give you a better idea what it looks like approaching montgomery drive. it looks like this you are barely moving. might be a good idea to hop off at the vine street expressway and maybe cut through the art museum area. do some maneuvering here because trying to get to this point it is just not that great out there and this will continue to affect your rush hour commute because with any fatal accident there is an investigation that needs to take place and those things take time, so my best alternate is ho p off at the vine jump off at the parkway there and try to squeeze your way to kelly drive. get to the roosevelt boulevard. jump back on the schuylkill at that point. it is not worth sitting in

that volume right now. do what you can. i will try to find alternates. paoli thorndale line now suspended but airport line and wilmington/newark line has delays and resume service. they have split things but you are moving in some points. >> thanks, vittoria. lets get back to the breaking news right now vittoria mentioned this, two people dead, another injured after a single car crash on the schuylkill expressway. we're told that car flipped and then caught fire in the westbound lanes near montgomery, and traffic once again is still affected in that area. a state of emergency is in effect at white hall township lehigh county after yesterday's damaging storms, hundreds are still without power, luckily no serious injuries have been reported. and pennsylvania governor tom wolf vetoed a republican backed version of the state budget, he says it was filled with gimmicks. that would have spent more than a billion dollars and not raised taxes. well, a warning from police, they say a new type of cell phone case could lead to you getting shot by police.
