to lose its strength, reduce itself to probably a category two system, ride ago this carolina coastline and gets shoved out to sea. why the change? we know things are always evolving in the atmosphere. so much had to do with the steering flow and timing of the trough that would start to dig in later this week. note is what happened as we take a lot a the next couple of days here. this is still a trough that will dig in but it is almost flattening out by comparison to one of those really deep troughs that you sometimes see digging in across the you had this time of the year. so what that will do is trap matthew, off to the south. which is great news for us. we are still going to have a frontal passage. do i think we will have to have a couple of showers. we are keeping the chance for rain in here because it is wednesday, and this is a week even system. it would pertain to us. we have to keep an eye on possible changes, but we're being cautiously optimistic that we may not to have deal with much of the impact out of matthew. for now high pressure is on

blue route taillights in the north bound direction at the schuylkill, would i say slightly heating up here as well but we can expect that now pushing deeper in to the 5:00 o'clock hour and delaware county i-95 north, 52, looking good and nice and quiet. take that up to the airport. this is basically what it is looking at, bite the way, no delays the at the airport as of right now but always check your flight status. 422, taillights moving in the eastbound direction. this is at pennsylvania turnpike. as you push in the eastbound directs we're starting to heat up here. we're starting to heat up on the westbound side. just a heads up. east and westbound slowly starting to warm up 422 but on a wednesday morning in the 5:00 o'clock hour we can expect. that construction pennsylvania turnpike eastbound before downingtown right lane is still block there. rahel and jim, back over to you. meisha, thank you. for a look at newspaper headlines across our region. >> from the cover of the tiles hurled at day jury selection began for his trial in norristown a lawyer pled guilty to charges he raped an unconscious female client.
