great lakes region. that's the leading edge. what happens is that front will cross our region, clear the coast, then it stalls out, then these areas of low pressure will be riding up along it, so we will see additional chances for rain as the week progresses. now for now, we start off with bright sunshine, jumping you to 8:00 a.m. see the clouds begin to build in southwest off to the east and northwest times. there may be a little sprinkle in the far western suburbs late this afternoon, but really later tonight that the rain starts to get going. really through the overnight. might hear the raindrops, meantime, pocket of rain could be locally steady but mainly showers and about this same time tomorrow likely to get the morning drive off to pretty damp commute. we will eventually end up with skies starting to clear with time. maybe lingering showers. so in the after none at the shore. so meantime, we start offer just as clear as we started yesterday. which mens, it will be one of those cooler starts to the day. not terribly breezy though. what you see is what you get on the thermometer. we rebounds to seasonable 75. meanwhile, showers build in

again late tonight, especially, and then they linger tomorrow possibly with steadier rain. so you want to plan the extra ten minute for the commute tomorrow morning. by wednesday, thursday, starting to see little cool down. wednesday looks good. thursday, again, showers are back in the forecast. meisha? >> great warning about tomorrow morning, yep, heed those warnings, because we know it gets busy, even if it is just a little bit of rain, even a sprinkle, we know it will slow down. good morning, happy monday. roadways nice and dry. enjoy them. i say 95, headlights moving in the southbound direction near broad, heating up just a little bit. see the steady flow of all of the headlights starting to hit the roadway. we can expect this. starts earlier monday morning, see that out there on 95. blue route southbound, mid-county, looking quiet. looking real quiet. southbound direction the blue route, mid-county, looking good there. we do have accident here overturned truck, 295 northbound before route 42 in jersey, right lane blocked right there. there is still, and also another accident city avenue

>> happy monday everyone, waking up here hopefully on the right side of the bed. because we have a couple of great things going for us here. the weather is still very, very cooperative for now at least, of course coming offer the awesome eagles win. let's turn the focus what lies ahead here. there are changes brewing. you can see that very well with this menacing looking frontal boundary. that's eventually going to bring the next wet weather chance likely as early as later tonight. for now, things still very calm, still very collected and actually will get through the better part of the day without a hitch here. clouds do start to build with time, that again is a sign of things to come. for now clear, cool, and certainly with temperatures in the low 50's at best, you will want to dress in layers. but, by later today, even though we are still going to rebounds to pretty typical mid 70s across most of the region, there are clouds building in overhead. and the showers eventually develop later tonight, but i would say 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 or so from west to east see things moving in.

currently here's where we stand, 49 in trenton, 41, that's the one that really stands out, obviously the coolest spot of the pack, of course in the mountain us terrain, by comparison, not as harsh but still pretty typical in philadelphia, 55 currently, probably drop more before the day is said and done. stay in the 70s through wednesday, tomorrow morning specially, still looking for that rain to be lingering before skies clear. we catch break wednesday. and another area of low pressure bridges additional showers for thursday, and probably friday, too. so, it is sort after up and down kind of forecast, meisha. but we do need the rain. we've been awfully spoiled lately, right? >> absolutely, no complaints here. great warning about tomorrow morning. we know katie even with just a little bit of rain it, takes absolutely nothing to slow us down. i hate to say that but it is true it, takes nothing. so looking outside, we are enjoying the nice dry roadways right now plus it is still early, so you have open roadways, as well, boulevard at wissahickon avenue. both directions looking good. i would say looking actually really good.

this is what we want to expect. what we want to see on a monday push toward the 9:00 monday morning, even the early 5:00 hour it will start to slow down. schuylkill, slow near girard, one area moving in the westbound side of the schuylkill. this is where we are starting to see i would say steady flow of headlights at this point specially for this early hour. we have an accident here overturned truck in jersey 295 before route 42, a lane blocked there. right lane blocked there, 295, thirds accident this morning city avenue conshohocken avenue. make note of these. because these will absolutely start to slow you down if they are not cleared as we push into the 5:00 hour. jim, over to you. >> one every baseball's greatest broadcasters the dodgers vince scully has called his final home game and it was a memorable one. >> deep left field. homerun. and the dodgers have children
