memo response on government surveillance abuses is a total political and legal bust. the democratic twitter response, ranking heb of the house intelligence committee wrong again mr. president. it confirms the fbi acted appropriately and that russian agents approached two of your advisors and informed your campaign that russia was prepared to help you by disseminating stolen clinton emails. the memo release comes as white house chief of staff general kelly is clamping down on white house security clearances after it was revealed that rob porter who was fired over a domestic abuse scandal never received a permanent security clearance. some of the president's closest advisors, including trump's son-in-law jared kushner, haven't pass d a background check and are working with temporary clearances. the president is fine if kelly

flooding in parts every texas. yesterday police had to rescue the driver of this pickup after the water quickly rose and overwhelmed the vehicle. the driver said the water was halfway up his door and was still rising. more rain is expected in the area today. so i guess it could always be worse. >> is there anywhere where it is not raining at this point. get you outside with more rain and a lot of low level clouds. you're supposed to be looking at the center city skyline there but the low level clouds are shrouding the skyscrapers. you go about less than a thousand feet up and all of a sudden you can see the visibility being object extract -- obstructed there. we'll continue with this all morning long through about midday and then conditions will slowly start to improve.

a shield of light rain for just about the whole area, the exception being the coast here where it is still cloudy and damp with some fog, a lot of dense fog down there in cape may. every now and then we start to pick up a few yellows and oranges which would represent something a little heavier than showers. this is racing east. should be right in center city within the next half hour or so then it will cross over the delaware river and into western portions of gloucester, camden and burlington counties in new jersey. one thing i want to point out here is look how far to the north this rain-snow line is, it's the end of february. are you kidding me? this could easily be over dc or even us. instead it's farther north up into new england and even boston and albany are reporting rain and not snow philadelphia with a dew point of 43. winds are out of the east at 9

miles per hour and we have a current wind chill of 40 degrees in philadelphia. the fog really isn't the issue in the city, it's the low level clouds. at ground level you're showing 6 miles that's not bad. most of the i-95 corridor not bad. you go a little farther south and east. and about a half mile right now in cape may. there's your warm front right there. you can see all these lines coming together they converge. that's the front snaking its way across pennsylvania. all of this here will be lifting north. the problem is i don't think the front is going to get too much farther north. lehigh valley and the poconos are probably stuck in the 40s today where as south jersey and delaware you're going to be enjoying 6 0s. periods of rain until afternoon.

mild temperatures overnight tonight same thing, cloudy skies, no rain though. we start to dry out. tomorrow morning waking up to a lot of clouds, maybe some leftover fog and then by afternoon boy this is going to be nice. skies open up and we see a lot of sunshine. 56 degrees by 3 wavelength 30. probably not a cloud in the sky at that point. so rain and showers ending around lunchtime today. 55 degrees is today's forecasted high. the normal is around 45. so the idea is morning rain, afternoon clouds. by lunchtime 49, by 4:00, 55 degrees. overnight tonight mostly cloudy and mild. 43 for center city. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, monday partly sunny and breezy, this is more like

morning clouds afternoon sun. wednesday clouds and surn, another 58 degrees. south jersey and delaware both tuesday and wednesday more than likely you're in the 60s and thursday here comes the next system, more rain that lingers into friday and possibly into saturday morning. it's a coastal storm and unfortunately it looks like it wants to stall right over the area. and that means probably about 72 hours of wet weather again. >> just in time for the weekend. >> right. >> thank you, chris. >> amazon founder jeff bezos has revealed details of his latest project. it is a gigantic 10,000 year clock. that clock features five room sized chambers. we'll be right back after this. >> your time now 9:48.

what we're thinking what will happen. right now it does look like the pattern is going to turn colder. no more 60s and 70s and the pattern looks a little stormy especially for the first two weeks of march. it doesn't necessarily mean snow, but it could mean snow especially for higher elevations. a couple of storm signals one around the 2nd and 3rd of march and about a week later. we are daylight spring officially arrives on march 20th. as we take a look at storm tracker 6, lots of green about the area and some yellows speckled in here from trenton down across the i-95 corridor into wilmington. this is where the heaviest rain is falling at this point from the medford lakes area. right where 55, 40 and delsi drive come together.

they're seeing downpours here. all this is pushing east at about 20 miles per hour starting to catch a little bit of a break now wilmington and philadelphia. all of this has to punch through before sky conditions finally will clear. here's an interesting stat. all-time wettest february, atlantic city, this is the second wettest february ever now and our records go back 143 years. allentown this is the fifth wettest, trenton sixth, philadelphia seventh. visibility continues to be an issue. we're down to less than half a mile in millville, we have a dense fog advisory for south jersey and delaware until noon. visibility is better off northwest. 10 miles in both reading and lancaster as the warm front starts to lift. it's starting to get farther to the north now. this whole area here will sky rocket into the low to mid 60s

later today. the lehigh valley more than likely you're stuck in the upper 40s. i don't think the front makes it quite that far north. that's the last of it by afternoon it's mainly just cloudy. going to be some left overdrizzle but mainly clouds. we shut that precipitation off tomorrow morning the clouds and the sun republican -- returns by the afternoon. should feature a lot of sunshine out there. but another storm heading this way as we get into thursday, friday and saturday. here's a mid week time frame, the air sinks, you don't even get any clouds. bright and sunny during that period and here comes another southern storm and the problem with this storm is it's going to run into a block over my shoulder and it's going to stall right here across the mid atlantic states. we could have three straight days of driving rain and if the low strengthens off the coast, maybe you get some big time

snows. also coastal flooding. this is what's called a fetch. you're going to get an onshore flow here. we're already expecting abnormally high tidal conditions because of the full moon. this late week storm could be a doozy. it's a slow mover. heavy rains expected thursday and friday, coastal flooding is likely and higher elevation snows. for today cloudy skies, temperatures are in the 50s sou lehigh valley monday, tuesday and wednesday all look like. thursday and friday, not so nice. gray? >> thanks for the update. there was a big celebration this weekend for a play special to all of our hearts here in philadelphia. the 125th birthday party for the reading terminal market. there was plenty of food ong wi. the party's decore was victorian
