jersey, now up in toward the pocono region, basically traveling i80 this morning, is incredibly dicey, with the mixing potential for some of the colder air to wrapping in, bring in some frozen precipitation. but again, depending on location, let's just say basically you've seen the heaviest rain taper off. you may be done with the brunt at least of the storm. still cold enough for precipitation to take place. as the storm intensifies, rides up the coastline, what happens is it runs into a large dome of high pressure, essentially acting as a roadblock, and not letting the storm get out of here, the brunt happening right now. along with the heavy rain seeing down the shore, just across new jersey, in general, wind gusts could peak as high as 45 miles per hour, there are coastal flood warnings in effect, also by the way winter storm warnings on the flip side up toward the poconos.

but this is good graph took represent the fact that we are essentially dodging the worse of it when it comes to snow anyway, i mean, ski lovers are absolutely digging this forecast. spec to go see feet of snowfall. so, they're loving the forecast, but what a headache for travelers, as far as we're concerned, i would say this is mainly rain and wind event. you can see little outlines going on here, some aerial flood advisories sort of superimposed on top of the flood watches for every county shade the in the green. we talk wind gusts quickly, looking forward to the forecast, gusts could peak as high as the 40's, even into the early afternoon before they gradually start to taper off. so looking at windy day in short here. very raw chilly day, probably a day or two before this storm is completely out of here. so, with that said, we want a ground check, great some

the jersey shore delaware beaches, heavy rain, seeing that right now, potential for the tidal flooding times every high tide which will be coming un again during the morning hours, winds gusting to 45 miles per hour, and that surf will be increasing possibly up to 10 feet. watch out for the beach errosion. bring you back here live, cbs-3 mobile weather lab eastbound on the turnpike, weaver the rain just use extra caution out there. that's the late hears in the cbs-3 mobile weather lab. we send it back to you guys in the studio. >> justin, thanks so much. >> love hearing the ding! >> mobile weather lab. >> getting another look at the roads. >> i know, there was an easy bake off never there. oh, man, i think the point is stressing caution, take your time get out there and slow down. out to the schuylkill expressway, actually an accident just cleared out of the way, just moment ago, but the accident actually been here for quite some time there. so you can see, a loft residual delays, excuse me, on

the schuylkill expressway, at south street. so headed eastbound, you can see a lot of brakes lights. now over on the boulevard, pretty much the typical shot for this time of morning anyway. but a loft delays here on the southbound lanes, headed toward that schuylkill expressway. a lot of accidents, like i just said, i'll start lifting -- listing them off. buck road at huntington pike crash. montgomery county, dekalb pike at skippack pike. new jersey a loft different sections dealing with road flooding. so the black horse pike completely closed at come own avenue. alternate for the time being take route 40. route 206 closed at willow grove. your alternate there take route 541. currently, not a lot of problems for amtrak or dart. but route ten trolley is bussing passengers for the time being. about an hour 19 delay, an hour and 19 minute delay, up for the philadelphia international airport. do you want to call your align to see if you are one of those affected. back to you. >> jess, thank you. >> well, united states stepping up security as embassy in time for today's

but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal.

get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com.

light, you can't really see the winds, the rain, rather, as much as we could see it earlier this morning, when it was going swirling around in the lights. but still raining very heavily out here. we are expecting 45 to 50-mile per hour gusts of winds, 3 inches of rain, all up and down the new jersey shore. if you take a look at the video, we've not only been here on the bore walk, but stopped in a kim of other places, as well. >> this was our drive down on the atlantic city expressway this morning, dealing with a lot of wind. you can see, again, those flags that are whipping in the wind, and the wind was just pushing our truck all around, and of course there is ponding out there on the roads right now, so if you are headed out the door you want to be extra careful and give yourself extra time. once we made our way down here, atlantic city, the surf already hi, it was rough, it was smashing against the beach. we can expect coastal flooding obviously here. some tidal flooding specially at high tide, and that hits right around 9:00 this morning. back out here live, it has been very, very quiet on the bore walk, we can see couple

of workers just way down there in their bright suits. i would say they've got the idea -- right idea. just dress for wind and rain as that gust every wind comes up. now once again, as i'm back here on camera, got to hold the hood up, umbrella, absolutely, out of the question here this morning, we just flip inside out. break your umbrella, break it out. you what need is real a poncho i would say. reporting live in atlantic city, jan carabeo, "eyewitness news" on the "cw" fill. >> i thanks, jan. hey, now is the time to make sure you have that cbs philly weather app on your phone. when you download the app you can check the updated forecast, get a look at the life radar and share your storm pictures, get that app now on itunes and on google play. >> and man, it seems like the win just keeps on getting worse for jan down at the shore. how is the storm looking? >> absolutely s the wind, the rain, our biggest concerning through most of new jersey, at least as far as the delaware valley is concerned. if you go further north toward up-state new york for example,

find potentially more mixing taking place, out first and for most to just few choice winds, that have come in, out of our eyewitness weather watcher network. notice, go down toward some of these area shore points, like ocean city, sent in from james, 31-mile per hour sustained northeasterly components of the wind. nor'easter, northeast wind, one of the defining characteristics. storms like there is now, when we go to storm scan3, obvious that we're seeing complete nicks bag. heavy rain and wind down the shore, we saw from jan, but dry slot moved into delaware, portions of southeastern pa, even salem, cumberland counties. go far enough to the north, see mixing taking place, brunt of the storm happening right now. it will be a while before the storm itself is completely gone, but because we start to see the sun come up, because we had a chance to see temperatures climb, winter weather advisories have actually been reduced. now strictly that sliver of puppet, not extended as far

south as it once was, you're going to see those particular advisories last until 10:00 a.m. this morning. >> specially through new jersey with the possibility of flooding, and i would say almost inevitable specially at the shore, tidal flooding as we mention anywhere between 9:00, will the 30 this morning, them you have got some snow on the flip side up through the poconos you could see one to three, if the knot 6 inches. marginal temperatures in wildwood, way too warm for anything but rain. but if you go into allentown, may still be some mixing taking place, i just keep close watch on that thermometer in your vehicle as you're traveling. hovering near freezing, 32, you will probably have good shot to see frozen precipitation mix in the, there at least few slick spots, so slow it down. >> slow it down, pretty much the phrase of the day here. slowing things down as well on 95, at girard. where you can see little bit of shaky camera here, we know it is windy, obviously know it is wet, shiny roadways, rain starting to accumulate on the
