4:45 am
this is a cold front that crosses it, leading edge of it anyway. in the meantime all that moisture is building up. you'll keep that souther willly component to the wind flow to usher in the warmth and moisture and still see there is somewhat of an organization to this storm system, not as well defined as yesterday but as this crosses, if we will get any sunlight out there today, sunshine here at the surface it will produce instability. we have to worry about stronger thunderstorms firing up but let me walk you through future weather. it looks like for the most part from the city on west for the first half of the day that any showers and storms. shore points you will get some sunshine but it won't be the picturesque or best beach day for you. then that rain could be locally heavy but toward the evening do you see this line that is moving in? this is just a model will. notice time stamp here later on tonight we will even up with flooding downpours but gusty thunderstorms. so lingering into tomorrow morning, and finally it clears
4:46 am
out of here we have to deal with that frontal boundary. in the meantime expect today to be muggy. high of 86. eyewitness weather seven day forecast, it is consistent with these temperatures, most steamy day comes on monday and right now we will head to a decent weekend. certainly, something to look forward to at this point, back to you. thank, katie. chase utley sat out last night's phillies game with the blue jays, his final game as a philly. he watched one of the phillies new players have a big impact on that game, eric altear had a first hit in the first inning a double that drives in darren ruff and gives phillies a three to nothing lead. he hits his first major league home run later and phillies beat the toronto seven-four. phillies in miami tonight. looking good but kind of sad that it is chase's last game. >> 4:46. we will take a short break. >> but first here's what is coming up tonight on cbs-3.

4:54 am
king of prussia road and brook wood road, all lanes, alternate you will want to use upper gulf road. down wires because of an earlier accident. for those traveling, just make note, and some construction on, 413, veterans highway, an accident between western avenue and route 13. we have got some active out there but for us, it is still early, for those just leaving your homes anytime soon, you will still be in okay company. the route 422, between route 100 and oaks, one lane block because of construction. so katie, i have to ask will we be hoping for dry roadways all morning today. >> it is tricky, we will start to see wet weather firing up, if you are traveling west on the pennsylvania turnpike and western counties, have the best hot shot at least initially to see showers or thunderstorms bubbling up but generally, we may be okay here for the next few hours, in most locations, as we are
4:55 am
still just awaiting this cold front to move in. so as we start off with a look at storm scan three you will notice moisture is encroaching. we've got thunderstorms over southwestern del marva peninsula between hageers town and washington d.c. heading our way ushered in by a southerly wind flow and that will be taking over. looking at future rain amounts we will jump ahead here to four or five or 6:00 p.m. look at these projections here, where you get heavier rainfall with any pockets that fire up. you could have an inch or two if not higher but look at it in wildwood, dry as you can be, so it will be very location dependent starting off in the western suburbs but later tonight we are jumping into tomorrow morning that rain does start to pick up across the the beaches. now we're talking about any wet weather for shore points to be generally happening later on this afternoon, 83 degrees, still muggy if you want to get a beach time and
4:56 am
avoid storms get together, get out there earlier rather than later. >> good advice, thank you. lets get a check of the stories our sister station kyw the news radio 1060 is following. an exhibition of anxious sacred writings opened to the public in honor of the papal visit. new genetic research looking at obesity and ways to deal with it. big philadelphia interactive museum is partnering with a tech fair. you can check in, two, three, four times a day on kyw news radio 1060 an your am dial, erika? we are live at wip studios with reaction to the the big story this morning, chase utley's trade to the dodgers. also we first told but this yesterday morning, a huge explosion at a washington state motel, now we are seeing the moment that it happened caught on surveillance video. fast moving storms dump inches of rain in new jersey, we will have the latest when we come right back, stay with us.
4:57 am
4:58 am
4:59 am
it is not so much changing uniforms but it is really about leaving the city that has given so much to me over the course of the 12 or 13 years that i have been here. >> chase utley's time as a philly is now over. second base man whose cool demeanor and hard work ethic echoed with fans, he is now a l.a. dodger and we are live with reaction. >> sad to wake up to that. >> good morning, it is thursday, august 20th we will have more in just a moment but first a couple girls who are sticking around katie and meisha keeping an eye on things, good morning. >> road are looking good. they are nice, dry at least
5:00 am
right now. the just really warm out there. what are we looking at. >> very muggy too. so much moisture to work with and eventually that will lead to some showers and thunderstorms. you can already see some activity out there on the area radar. we will start with a snapshot view of what is going on, on storm scan three, meisha says things are looking dry. you can see a pocket of range moving in lancaster county. this will eventually start to overtake the radar in scattered fashion. we are not dealing with the widespread wash out necessarily today but this is going to be likely at least of the next few days more activity then even tomorrow will be because we are awaiting this frontal boundary to move in. there is a marginal, in other word low risk of severe weather for most of the delaware valley, included here, let's be honest, out toward ocean, monmouth county not too much concern but our primary concerns with any storms that fire up would be heavy downpours that could
