11:02 am
storm that we're dealing with combining to produce evening flooding that will be worse than what we saw this morning. there were areas that were flooded, roadways that were flooded. more moderate flooding is likely for this evening. through it all, it's going to stay cool today. there are some changes ahead and a warmup just in time for the weekend. may have seen that with the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. i'll take you flow the forecast hour by hour later. >> we look forward to that. today's flood threat and rain in the area, the nbc10 app is the perfect tool to keep you updated on what's happening in your neighborhood. you can see the live weather radar right here, your forecast, and you also get alerts on severe conditions. well, backup continues on i-95 after a tractor trailer jackknifed earlier this morning. nbc10 on the scene along 95 at academy this morning. this is viewer video of the wreck. the tractor trailer spread across all northbound lanes for a good part of the morning rush.
11:03 am
matt delucia is live for us in northeast philadelphia. we begin in the studio with first alert traffic reporter jessica boyington who has been watching this since it happened at about 6:00. what's the latest? >> we can finally get on 95 and not really have too much of a problem. so that's definitely the good thing. we'll start there. we'll check with the drive times. a little earlier, the drive times on the northbound side of 95 right around academy road from center city to woodhaven, about a 108 minute trip, that's the most i have seen it since working in traffic. that's how bad it was. right now, we're back down to 13 minutes because all lanes are open and the average speeds are back in the 60s now. we're seeing delayed southbound. now we're at 27 minutes because the two left lanes for cleanup of the earlier jack knifed tractor thalrailer were blocked. headed southbound, a shaky camera, you can see reduced
11:04 am
visibility as well. an accident in the left-hand shoulder. no big delays by that part of the scene, and 95 southbound around island avenue, another accident to the shoulder. in vineland, new jersey, an accident of 55 northbound, which is route 56, the left lane is closed there. no big delays because of it. also, some emergency construction out in burlington township. that's on route 130 northbound around columbus road. the right lane is closed. >> thank you. our live team coverage continues now with matt delucia who is on the scene on 95. >> good morning. you heard all the delays jessica was talking about. quite a morning for a lot of the commuters out here. a much different scene compared to what we saw four to five hours ago. you can see a live picture right now. cars coming toward us are going northbound on 95. the vehicles going away are southbound. the crash happened on the left side. the northbound side around 6:00 this morning. all lanes there reopened just within the last hour. take another look at the scene.
11:05 am
this is what it looked like earlier. quite a mess out here. a postal service truck jackknifed, stayed upright, but tuck up all four lanes. this created aba backup that spanned for miles. a rainy morning commute. as we take another live look here, if you were stuck in this, you know what it was like. for those of you who were fortunate not to be in this mess, here's some perspective. see the curb on the left, the northbound sign, about a mile beyond that is the tacony palmyra bridge. this was affecting a great deal of traffic heading to northeast philly, to bucks county, to points north. to the right, the southbound side, just a few minutes ago, only two lanes were getting by. a couple minutes ago, we just saw all these lanes reopen. you still see some residual traffic and signs here talking about the right lane being closed, about 1500 feet from here. there's still some residual backup from that as well.
11:06 am
this side was unaffected by the crash, but there's still quite a backup stretching down to academy road, but now you see, again, northbound 95 reopened after a miserable morning for a lot of drivers out here. live in northeast philadelphia this morning, matt delucia, nbc10 news. >> thank you. an inmate who broke out of a new jersey prison remains on the run. officials say they believe arthur buckel is no longer in the barnegat township area where they have been looking for him since he was spotted on wednesday. the 38-year-old escaped from a prison tuesday morning. he once served time for manslaughter for killing a 10-month-old baby. authorities aren't saying where they're looking for him now. and police shot and killed a dog that chased and attacked a woman in north philadelphia. when officers responded to a 911 calls about the attack, the woman jump eed onto the hood of the police car to try to get away from the animal. the officers got out of their car and fired several shots, killing the dog. the woman is recovering at the

11:15 am
short with all the protesters outside and a few inside, too. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. new allegations have surfaced involving former penn state head coach joe paterno in connection to the jerry sandusky child sex abuse case. court documents from an insurance case show the late paterno may have known about sexual abuse allegations against sandusky as far back as the 1970s. the documents say in 1976, a child allegedly told paterno that sandusky had molested him. then in the late 1980s. a report of a child's molestation was referred to an athletic director at penn state. there is no evidence that the reports ever went up the chain of command. paterno's family released this statement that says in part, through all of this review, there has never been any evidence of inappropriate conduct by coach paterno. to the contrary, the evidence clearly shows he shared information with his superiors
11:16 am
as appropriate. sandusky is serving a 30 to 60-year term for child molestation. nbc10 has learned a judge granted sandusky a hearing two weeks from today to try to prove that he was denied a fair trial. the clouds are hanging in there. we still have rain in philadelphia. much of the area seeing some rain, but we're going to see the rain taper off this afternoon. right now, 52 degrees in philadelphia. going to stay cool. at 4:00 this afternoon, a scattered shower. we may very well see a few breaks in the clouds. a little bit of sunshine is already appearing at the shore. still mostly cloudy. this is a view from cape may from the marquis de lafayette hot hotel. a heavier rain has moved inland, and wildwood, look at the breaks of blue sky. it's drying up on the boardwalk. a quick turnaround from first thing this morning. we do still have the threat of
11:17 am
flooding for this evening along the coast. because of this large upper level low, which is going to spin the water right up the coast, combined with high tides this evening, producing moderate flooding. a little worse than what we saw this morning. there were some areas of flooding. right now, the greatest threat is for this even. the flood threat for roadways will start around 7:30 to 9:30, and then extend to the back bays later this evening. that's at the shore. you will see some sunshine. counterintuitive because you see sunshine, the showers tapering off, the flood threat doesn't exist, that's not the case. be on the lookout for evening flooding not only for the jersey shore frrx the delaware beaches and into delaware bay. as far as rain is concerned, that's tapering off at the shore, but we're seeing heavy downpours into berks county. the radar screen shows some areas of heavy rainfall in berks county and into the lehigh valley. the rain tapering off as we go to the afternoon hours.
11:18 am
not going to be an all day event, but still more shower activity ahead of us. 2:00 this afternoon, rain extends into new jersey and delaware. then as we go into the afternoon, watch how it tapers off in time for the evening commute. some showers spinning around that upper level low. there's still a possibility of showers as we go into the evening. as we go to the weekend, the threat of showers will become less and less. the forecast, hour by hour, calling for showers this afternoon. a slight chance of a thunderstorm in philadelphia. that's at 6:00 this evening, then mostly just cloudy and still cool at 10:00 this evening. then in the suburbs. heavy downpours this morning, showers this afternoon. tapering off as we go to the late afternoon and evening hours. the lehigh valley, temperatures will hold steady with the showers. late day breaks in the clouds are possible, but there's still a possibility of a shower into the evening hours. for delaware, a cool day all around. the showers will break at times, but there's still a possibility of a late day shower.
11:19 am
at the jersey shore, watch out for the flooding as you head into the evening hours. cloudy skies at sick:00. by 10:00, scattered lighter showers. not the heavy rainfall we have seen so far. and mostly cloudy skies will continue at the shore. so temperatures will be climbing over the weekend, but not so much today. 50s today. the rain tapering off. a scattered shower is possible on saturday. and sunday is mother's day. things turn around nicely for mom, a few showers are possible. first thing in the morning. that's for philadelphia. the suburbs and the lehigh valley, less likely in new jersey at the shore and delaware. look at the temperatures climbing into the upper 60s and low 70s. as you may have noticed at the bottom of the screen, seven-day forecast shows the warming trend continues beyond the weekend. we'll take a look at the ten-day outlook when i come back in the next half hour. >> thank you, bill. >> the sixers and their new digs, still ahead, i'll take you on a tour of their new practice facility being built in camden and tell you why the complex will really stand out in the

11:26 am

11:27 am
11:30 am
it is a rainy mess all throughout our area right now, as we take a live look outside from our presidential city apartment cam. although it's hard to see through the raindrops. sky force 10 is capturing wet conditions in north wilmington, new castle county, you can see the rain coming down pretty fast as it made its way down concord pike this morning, and here's a look at the soggy conditions earlier this morning near broad and morris in south philadelphia. if you have an umbrella, you could stay dry.
11:31 am
if you didn't, like that person in the red pants, you got soaked. there's the flood thread for coastal areas because of all this rain. parts of jersey, the jersey shore, are getting hammered. here's a live look now from our camera at the marquis de lafayette in cape may, new jersey. bill henley is here now with our forecast. bill. >> vai, here's another view from northern delaware. this is wilmington, and the blue rock stadium, has seen a steady rain, and some of the heaviest rain in the area so far this morning has been in delaware. it's lightened up quite a bit, but at one point, we saw downpours of 1 to 2 inches an hour. clouds are hanging in there and we'll still see moderate showers but the heaviest rainfall is done. now check this out. wildwood, look at the blue sky. the rain has ended at least for now, and the boardwalk has dried up nicely. we could see showers spinning onshore during the day today. the steadiest rainfall has already ended at the shore. there you can see the moderate showers moving towards
11:32 am
wilmington right now and into some of the suburbs and the lehigh valley. we have seen a few breaks in the clouds as far as rainfall is concerned. but there is still some more rain ahead. the heaviest rain, there it goes, now in maryland. that's what moved through delaware. the rainfall will be on and off this afternoon. so we see the steady rain this morning. now we're going to see scattered and occasional showers as we go into the afternoon hours. a slight chance of a thunderstorm popping up in the suburbs, cool through the day, the lehigh valley, not much warmer. a break or two of sunshine is possible, but mostly going to be cloudy. there may even be an evening shower as far as delaware and new jersey are concerned, not much warmer there with clouds breaking at times. not an all afternoon rainfall, but still more chances of rainfall even at the shore. those are going to be mostly cloudy through the afternoon and evening hours. during the evening hours we'll see the flood threat at the shore because of not only the high tide, especially high with the new moon, but also because
11:33 am
of the storm. that storm for mother's day weekend will be easing out of here. finally, we'll get breaks of sunshine on saturday and a warmup from the 50s to the 60s, and into the 70s for mother's day sunday. ten-day outlook when i'm back in a few minutes. >> all right, we'll see you in a few minutes, bill. >> rain is bringing yet another round of flooding to the coastline. ted greenberg gives us a look at conditions in atlantic county. >> well, this flooding in ventnor heights is the latest in a series of flood events at the jersey shore. the water you see in the streets here basically came flowing out of the back bays. it's the result of persistent northeast winds and an upcoming new moon. what those winds do is they keep pushing the water from the ocean into the back bays. it doesn't have much of an opportunity to drain back into the ocean because of the northeast winds holding it in the bay. now, widespread minor coastal flooding happening this morning. maybe pockets of moderate
11:34 am
coastal flooding. this evening, high tide is expected to be worse with higher water levels and potentially widespread moderate coastal flooding. the advice from emergency management officials and police here at the jersey shore, if you haven't already, move your cars to higher ground. don't drive through floodwaters, although right now, you do see that this truck is coming by me. i guess this guy thought he had no choice but to drive through the flood water, and he's going to go right into a deeper section right there at that intersection. that's the latest here in ventnor, i'm ted greenberg, nbc10 news. >> with the rain that's here and all the rain coming, count on nbc10's app to track the showers in your specific neighborhood. you can get live radar and weather updates at your fingertips on all of your mobile devices. and new this morning, metro service has resumed in washington, d.c. after multiple fires shut down two stations and a section of track yesterday. you're looking at video of the first of two fires at the
