then we will be in the break. most areas stay dry for entire morning commute. bulk of the the rain across western pennsylvania. that heads our way later this morning. break it down, midday showers, best chance to see them between 10:00 and 4:00 p.m. everybody is already dry. amounts lightment the less than a quarter inch. further south, it will be lighter then that. the south wind ten to 15. those wind kick up a bit during the afternoon hours as the showers come through, gusting over 30. temperature wise with the cloud holding in the mid to upper 40's, some lower 50's in philadelphia at the a airport 46. quakertown 47. in mount holly, new jersey. the let's break it down mostly cloudy 8:00 o'clock temperatures in the lower 50's as cloud thicken up by ten. best chance to see showers through about early afternoon but still mild. we may be able to to see more sunshine before sunset between three and 4:00. high temperatures 62 for philadelphia mid 60's at the shore. fifty's in the poconos. we will talk about that will cool down on the way for

weekend. a as i said it looks like both commutes should be good from the storm. >> thanks very much, justin. roadways are nice and dry. but now that it is just past 6:30 i can tell you things are heating up. we are looking live outside at roosevelt boulevard moving in the southbound direction, approaching the schuylkill. once we get on at westbound city avenue take a look we are not moving. we are traveling less than posted speed and looking more like a parking lot. that is schuylkill at city a avenue. once we get off, moving in the southbound direction. think about leaving your homes anytime soon get a quick jump. it is getting busy out there but wait all the way through rush hour. here's i-95 southbound coming around s curve very slow on i-95. we have an accident here in conshohocken bellefonte avenue at suply lane. it sound like, traffic is moving around there but still okay. then fun stuff. let's switch it up. we have a game tonight.

flyers/washington capitols at wells fargo center. that will be a good one. i will be tuning in. back over to you. familiar face in the philadelphia police is moving up the ranks. >> mayor-elect jim kenney has chest even richard ross as police commissioner. ross who is 51 has been on the force for 26 years. he joins us in the studio. first of all, congratulations. >> i know you are a philly boy, raised in fernrock and it is a big honor in your hometown good to be home grown, to be blessed to go through the ranks and i'm honor that mayor-elect jim kenney selected me. he is a great guy, he is a a regular guy. we will get along because we are similar in that regard. >> mayor-elect has mentioned stop and frisk policy, there any changes to department policy that we'd like to see. >> well, i think is already ongoing. a a a lot of folks don't realize commissioner ramsey has already start that had in the form of the oversight that we have in place. we have multiple layers to ensure that we are doing things the right way.

we always train to that effect but we make sure that people respond responsibly and that we treat people fairly and understand that is a tough situation for anybody. if you have never been stopped by police before, it is a tough situation. so we have to make sure our officers realize that. >> you mentioned commissioner ramsey. were you deputy commissioner. you worked very closely for him for many, many years. big question is, what will you do differently. you mentioned he has put into place a lot of these policies what will do you that is maybe new or different. >> i knew would you ask that question, that is the the question of the day. i think what is important to under score is i was his number two for eight years and still am. so arguablably some of the things we have had success with, i had something to do with as well a as some things that may not have work too well to be honest. we have more in common then not a at lot of people don't know for example we share the same birthday. >> fun fact. >> when do you celebrate. >> march 23rd i have it on the

calendar. >> but again talking about passing the baton, building on what he has done. >> he ace a i great guy, arguablably one of the biggest names in the business. so to erase what he has done, would be ludicrous, but clearly you have to continue to build, it is a challenging time for law enforcement. anybody who doesn't recognize that is foolish. it is difficult but we will be up for the challenge. >> i feel like this has been a effort to focus on community policing, is that a priority for you. >> i love it. one advantage of being an insider just by virtue of you are comings and goings you get to meet a lot of people, cultivate relationships with them over the years. that will be important particularly in these times something media it is great but it is a tough thing to deal with. having those relationships you have to build them before anything happens and that is critical. >> people say you need more manpower and boots on the ground so to speak, more equipment, what are your plans to make sure that philadelphia a is staffed and resourced

properly. >> boots on the ground is critical. we believe although law enforcement is the pan see a to reduce and eliminate crime it is a a big part of it. we have about 200 fewer officers then we should. no fault of the city government. we are having trouble recruiting. one of the things we will do is push our efforts to get more people in the doors because we have to have that. >> with reference to diversity as well getting more diverse police force in place. >> that is another challenge, so with the reduction in our force we have seen a reduction in the demographic is a across the ranks and we have to work on it. >> just a couple seconds left but you are still planning to wear your uniform but squad car. >> that is a mystery. >> what is the mystery, we will see. >> that may be one of the things we are different on, we will see. >> congratulations. >> thanks for your time. >> 6:36. the department of the health and human services estimates that those age 65 and older have a 70 percent chance of needing long term care

services at the some point but not everybody needs insurance coverage. >> novice long term care a awareness month. a as cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger joins us live from insuring to explain all that, jill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, staggering right, take us through is what involved with this. >> well, it is pretty staggering. if you need nursing home care, the the median annual cost for a semi private roomies over 80 grand. private rooms $91,000. prices do vary widely across the country, unfortunately in the philadelphia area you are on the high side of costs. now you adding to the problem the cost of these facility based providers has increased at twice the rate of inflation. i guess the only good news is that 60 percent of people who need care are likely to use something that cost less, a licensed home health aid. prices are still steep but more reasonable, $45,000 a year.

>> now of course people want to make sure they are covered but is there anyone who doesn't need to worry about this long term care coverage. >> absolutely, because if you have limited resources and you are able to qualify for medicaid you don't need coverage. you really don't. the the government will get your back. and if you have got a a lot of money, a large nest egg and you can pay for services as they arise, then you don't need to purchase inch just pay as you go but here's a very important factor, those in between. medicare does not cover long term care services. so if you have got a total net worth including your house of around 300,000 doll a ars, up to say a million and a half dollars you you may want to consider purchasing some base line long term care insurance coverage. i should point out, couples are especially vulnerable because if you have a sick spouse who eats up all of your assets that could dramatically change the healthy spouse's life in the future.

so for more long term care and the best strategy for purchasing insurance go to jill on money.com. >> tough to bring up but an important conversation you have to. >> jill, thanks for clearing up that. >> sure. >> airlines, they are raising their baggage fees temporarily just for the holiday season. >> humbug. >> frontier announced until january 5th carry on bags will cost $5 more, checked bags will be $10 more. keep in mind thinks on top of the low cost carrier 25 to $60 baggage feet. spirit airlines is adding a a $2 surcharge to the check baggage fees from december 18th to january 4th. they don't want you to like them, do they. >> happy holidays to you too, right. it seems like everybody is getting offended this holiday season. at lot of people are. >> coming up, the sweater sold at target that has some customers, in an uproar, jan. >> reporter: we're here in university city this morning where there is no snow in the forecast, just yet but that

doesn't mean that transportation departments are resting. they have been quite busy preparing for winter weather. we will show you their work straight a ahead.
