storms that i've ever seen in this country. the amounts of freezing rain were just incredible. we are on the warm side of all of these storms with no sign of a change. it's rainy today and again tomorrow, a bit of a bull at least the rain will get lighter. the sun returns on thursday and once it does it's going to stay around for a while and it won't be looking like this. can't see the tops of the buildings, 56 degrees, it's pretty mild, though, for this time of the year. the average high is only 50. wind east at 10 miles an hour. and we are in the mid-40s north and west. mid-50s in the i-95 zone and then even a 57 degrees in millville. and it's going to be close to 60 tomorrow. look at today, 10 plus degrees warmer than it was at this time yesterday. the wind right in out of the

east 14, miles an hour sustained winds in atlantic city and wild wood, adding to the misery for a lot of folks. it's a solid area of rain and even heavier rain on the way in. there's plenty of it. it goes all the way back into virginia so we've got hours more of this steady rain and if anything it's going to get heavier. you can see this band of heavier rain moving right up towards delaware and chester county, eventually delaware county and philadelphia area, salem county is going to get it, too. now this rain just keeps coming on. there's another area down in tennessee.-x8v that's going to be affecting us by tomorrow. now, let's trace this moisture back, or at least some of this moisture. look at that. all the way in the central pacific ocean or the tropical pacific, that's one gigantic train of moisture and that's why

you get so many hours of wet weather. so futurecast shows this area of heavier rain starting to move in, breaking up a little bit as we go into the late afternoon and evening hours and so we're not expecting as much rain tonight as we're going to get in the next two or three hours. then tomorrow we're going to get another surge. you can see temperatures tonight not really dropping at all. in the 50s all night and so tomorrow while we get some of this heavier rain it may be getting warmer. the winds starting to get out of the south and southwest but more and more rain. hour after hour after hour of this and it's going to add up to well over one inch of rain. we're not expecting any kind of significant flooding, just localized ponding on the roads. we've got rainy conditions today, temperature in the 50s, well above average for this time

of the year. more rain tomorrow, perhaps up to 60 degrees. and then on thursday we've got gusty winds. the sun comes back and then watch what happens here as we go through friday and the weekend. sunshine friday, saturday, sunday, temperatures a little bit above average. no sign of winter weather for the first half of december at least. >> looks great because we know we'll get in the january and february. thank you, glenn. he got us chanting pho, pho, pho. tonight the team will honor the late moses malone about his legacy and tributes planned for tonight's game. and later, when annoying is an understatement. imagine hearing that sound non-stop for two straight days.

why people living near the stadium were forced to listen to it for so long. my goodness.

he's on his way to the world championship. congratulate the world champion philadelphia 76ers. remember back in the day he was considered to be the best offensive rebounder in the

history of basketball. moses malone led the 76ers to an nba title in 1983 and in his 21-year pro career he was a three-time mvp who made 12 straight all star appearances. moses malone died in september at the age of 60 and tonight the sixers will honor the chairman of the board with special tributes throughout the game against the l.a. lakers. clint richardson was a teammate of malone's on the 1982-83 sixers and here's here with us this morning. thank you for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> there will be lots of tributes to mo. tell me what it was like to play with him. i heard charles barkley say when he came into the league a year after the championship season that moses taught him how to be a pro. you were a young player then. did he do the same thing for you? >> well, doc did it for me. so we definitely had that veteran leadership. we all kind of took charles under our wing. >> he needed it. he needed a village.

>> he needed more than one person. we rallied around and got charles but i think moses spent a majority of time with him and really talked to him about his weight and how he should conduct himself as a professional. he turned out to be a great pro. >> when you see what happens with jahlil okafor and -- do you hope, do you wish to see somebody step up and take that role and take him under their wing and show him how to be a pro? because, you know, you probably felt the same way and i know chuck said he taught him how to dress, told what i am to do, how to be a pro. >> yeah, and they're going to need that. doc did that for me and so i'm hoping that that happens for him. i'm sure it will. i played with all three of those guys, carl, daryl and moses for championships for all three of our centers have unfortunately passed away. >> that's amazing.

that '83 team, they're remembered so fondly but they had some iconic players as you mentioned. tell me what it was like to play on a team with those guys and specifically that team. >> we were focused, that came from billy cunningham. we deep down knew this might be our last chance. for some of us this had been our third final. for doc it was his fourth so we knew our time was up and so even as we won it they started dismantling the team. so i think for us personally we were disappointed they didn't keep it together so we could make another run. i think we could have made another run. >> i was in college at the time but even then i was a 76ers fan, not knowing i was ever going to live here in philadelphia and play for the eagles.

i love that team, andrew tony was my favorite player. >> boston strangler. >> that's one of the best nicknames ever in sports, the boston strangler. you mentioned doc, doc will be in tonight. tell me what -- about the tributes tonight. they're also going to pay tribute to kobe bryant as well. >> i'm proud -- i'm very happy for kobe. he's turned out to be a great professional, too. it's going to be an interesting evening. we don't want to tribute kobe too much, he's the explosive young man, he could take this very seriously, his last visit here. but i'm excited for moses. it's interesting, because i -- it's somber right know because moses had a penthouse right across the street. >> from here? >> i think it's where the old nieman-marcus was. >> and it's ironic.

moses -- kobe came right out of high school. but moses did it at a time when nobody was leaving high school going into the nba so pretty amazing that both men be honored tonight. >> and they both took their profession very seriously so of course you can see why they've produced what they've produced. world championships, mvps, all stars. both of them coming out of high school they took what they were doing seriously. >> you see many parallels and in their careers. clint richardson, good to see you, you're back in seattle now. >> yeah. >> you brought this rain. [ laughter ] >> that's right! >> once again the sixers will honor moses malone against the game at the l.a. lakers. tipoff at 7:00 p.m. for more information, go to our web site at nbc10.com or check out the nbc 10 app. thank you so much clint, have a safe trip back home. see you tonight. >> thank you. a rainy day out there and the wet weather isn't going away any time soon. a live look now at a dreary

a lot more hours of this. the this is steady rain. these are not just showers from time to time and all the roads are wet, causing all sorts of problems for the morning rush and we expect some difficulty for the afternoon rush as well because look what's coming in here. it's raining in the philadelphia area now but there's even heavier rain that is approaching. coming into newcastle county right now, cecil county in maryland, about to hit chester county and it's coming toward the philadelphia area, coming up i-95. that's not necessarily going to last a long time. it's a narrow zone of that yellow that you see but there's plenty more rain back to the west in maryland and virginia. so you can see this area of the heavier rain and it's darker green and the yellows and so it will be coming down a bit

heavier. 15 straight hours of light rain reported in philly international. as we go through the afternoon things will be quieting down a little bit, tapering off. so we're not expecting heavy rain for the afternoon rush but it will still be damp, the roads are going to be wet and that will cause some delays. things quiet down a little bit this evening and then we're going to get more rounds of rain as we go into tomorrow. we're not close to being out of this. but we're mild considering the time of year, 56 in philadelphia now. i'll tell you when the heaviest rain is coming and when we dry out with the seven-day in a few minut minutes. >> see you then, glenn. pennsylvania attorney general kathleen kane is slamming state officials accused of circulating pornographic e-mails. matt delucia is live where kane announced announced a special team of prosecutors to handle that investigation. matt, what can you tell us?

it will be that way through the afternoon rush, for tomorrow morning's rush, tomorrow afternoon's rush. get used to it. 56 degrees. at least it's mild. wind east at 10 miles an hour. and the reporting stations, everyone in the area except for wild wood reporting rain at this particular moment: and there's more of that to come. and the temperatures, well 0045 in reading, 46 in allentown. you can see the east wind throughout the area and it's in the mid-50s, it's warmed up overnight last night as expected and tonight it won't cool down very much. 52 in trenton and wrightstown 5, 5 in beach haven. 57 in delaware. we look at the radar and see the band of heavier rain we've been tracking going right up through newcastle county, now, just now entering chester county just

about to enter salem county in new jersey, just coming right up i-95. so it's going to hit much of the area but it won't last a long time -- at least as far as being relatively heavy. but there's plenty more rain coming so hour after hour after hour once again. and there's more back here in tennessee that will be affecting us during the day tomorrow. so we have many more hours to deal with this. now you can see the heavier area of rain moving in and then breaking up a little bit later today and tonight. it's just not quite as heavy as what we'll see in the next couple of hours. you see the temperature not changing very much as we go through the night tonight so we're not going to cool down and tomorrow we might actually get to 60 degrees in some areas but it's wet and gets wetter during the day on wednesday if we're going to get any really heavy rain it would occur during the day on wednesday as you can see.

it's just more of this hour after hour after hour and there's that 60 degrees coming in. how much rain? most of our computer models in this ballpark an inch to an inch and a half with some locally higher amounts. that's not enough to produce widespread flooding but just ponding on the roads. and the temperature well above average. highs in the mid to upper 50s. some of it on the heavy side, at least briefly in the next couple of hours. and then tomorrow rain, some of it heavy, up near 60 degrees. that's about 10 degrees above average. then the wind picks up and clears us out and the sun starts to come back and once it does we have some beautiful sunny days coming friday, saturday, and sunday. you can go ahead and make your plans for the weekend. it looks like a good bet we'll have nice dry weather. we'll be right back.
