they need some of the rain we're having. >> absolutely. sometimes obviously, sometimes you just can't get that to happen. and it looks as though at least here, actually going toned one more rain over the course of the next couple of days, with another area of low, low pressure starts to move in. that will set up shop looks like heading toward the upcoming weaken. so, we will take a look, first and for most, statistical information. in the midst every pretty substantial rainfall deficit over four and a half inches every rainfall could fall, for us to actually be average. but, typically, the norm, over 31 inches every rain at this point since january 1st that is. tanking the entire year. but regardless, we are far shy of that at the moment. so, some of this rain will help chip away at that, storm scan, at the moment, certainly, active. we've got basically sliver every steadier rain that's basically moving through, just south of the new jersey turnpike. but, it is still very damp outside. and this is going to clear with time. but i would say better party of the morning drive will be impacted by. >> this you can see, things do

at least try to clear out in the wake of this, the problem is another area of low pressure that will set up shop over our region in the days ahead. and, when i say set up shop, i mean, tacking couple of days before something comes along to kick this out of here. so we walk you through future weather, once the rain is done, we start to clear it out. by this afternoon seeing some sunshine if not sooner. by wednesday specific to tomorrow night, next system on the move, brink withing it more rounds of rain to the area. so the day looks fine, the night side is when we start to seat rain picking up, then it hangs out thursday still going to see round of rain, rotating through the region. in the meantime for now at lows it is milder. we've got that going for us. 21 degrees warmer than this thing yesterday in millville after all. that will translates to 60s currently on the thermometer readings, only top off mid 70s today despite this warm start. and then again, break in the action, later today, in most of tomorrow, before the next system sets up shop for couple of days straight. meisha? >> okay, katie, thank you. yep, looking very wet so far, those every you just headed out the doorway actually

looking okay, you're in good company for now. we now pushing through the 5:00 specially into the 6:00, busy morning, slow with the rain on the roadways, give yourselves extra time. disable vehicle, right here. so the u-haul pulled off to the shoulder, schuylkill eastbound at montgomery, again pull off to the shoulder. so not seeing too many slow downs around there. actually pulled all the way off, block ago lane, pulled way off now to the far right. so it is not going to slow you down little bit. you might tap your brakes coming around the s curve, just a tad if you notice it by glance, last second, but overall it is not posing too many problems. ninety-five south at girard, what you are looking at here. you can see how wet it looks here. specially going to get on the sidewalks, side streets, bridges, overpasses all of that where it will accumulate watch can happen specially in pothole areas too, we can get hydroplaning, just use your best discretion, leave your homes little earlier this morning, with wet roadways like that on interstates, definately going to need it, brooke, over to you. thanks, meisha.
