at lee sun will shine and we will rebound by sunday, meisha >> katie, thanks very much. it was very cold, walking in the studio this morning, good morning, everyone, happy wednesday, we are looking at construction schuylkill eastbound still closed between 30th street and south street one left lane block in the westbound side that has been since cleared and we are waiting on this side to open up and we usually clear that out by 5:00. we will see what happens. interstate i-95 in the southbound direction toward center city right around girard, looking busy, already this morning, this might be an indication that everything will heat up quicker then what we typically see. accident pennsylvania turnpike westbound past fort washington two lanes are block here already showing some yellow to let you know we are dropping less than posted speed tapping our brakes and then we have another accident second one this morning in lower gwynedd township. 202 dekalb pike is closed between schoolhouse lane and township line road. use an alternate around. that reply mutt road will be your bes

then at lee is there easing up back to the mid 50's, closer where we should be by next week, meisha. >> katiethank you very much. >>> good morning, so, we still have live chopper three over this accident overturn tractor trailer in robbinsville, new jersey. new jersey turnpike north bound ramp to 195 blocking clearly that left lane, we are in the seeing any drive through traffic right now. you can obviously see person outside their vehicles, see backup starting to form where you are just coming to a complete stop. now it sounds like overturn tractor trailer was carrying cardboard of some sort, no injuries to report so that is good thing but would i say void that area if at all possible. disable vehicle schuylkill eastbound to 30th street head up on that plus boulevard could be clear, so pushing in the southbound direction and once we then jump on to the schuylkill westbound at city avenue, take a look at this, bumper to bumper stopped traffic, rahel, back over to you. >>> well well, he sold millions of books worldwide and now one of the most popular authors is in our area >> "eyewitness news"

katie. >> yeah, dropping it like it is not hot i suppose. >> yeah. >> at lee it is not harsh today and warmnough that even though there are rain showers there is no icing, taking place this morning up in the mountains, it is even too warm for that so that is one bonus of a day like this but what we do have this transition taking place there is a chill in the air but i will show you this camera shot in the live neighborhood network to indicate rain drops on that camera lens to mar picture for you but thankfully the bulk of any wet weather has rolled out to the north east or out to see, so there are still a few spots where rain is technically falling across central and northern new jersey, but for the most part you won't have that rain falling from the sky for rest of the morning drive, but it is still damp, damage, it has essentially been done here if you will, what you will find is spray, maybe a few spots here and there, no huge issue but enough to slow you down. forty-eight currently at airport and normally 41 at mount pocono, not shabby, not shorts and t-shirts weather but not shabby. we

but, katy, there has been some financial implications for moore and his campaign already. earlier today mike lee, who was one of the senators who had endorsed roy moore asked the moore campaign to take his name and image out of their fund-raising materials. the campaign arm for would be republican snoshs has removed themselves from a joint fund-raising agreement for roy moore perhaps starving him out of this race by lack of funding. >> what are the republicans going to do if he is elected senator? after all, there was the montana congressman who body slammed ben jacobs and he's going to be walking into -- or he is in congress now. i'm reminded of the "access hollywood" tape bh a number of these same republican senators including mike lee came out and called it just disgusting and that donald trump should step aside. they can't look into their own children's faces. but when donald trump was elected, now they're working with him and supporting him in some ways. what are they going to do with roy moore if he is -- if he ends up being another person that they serve alongside in the senate? >> that's

lee. guys, thank you very much. and now let's turn back to texas and craig melvin. >> katy, thank you. community that's very much in mourning today. authorities say 26 people were killed when a gunman opened fire at first baptist church behind me. at least 12 or as many as 14 much them children. 20 people were wounded. ten of them are in critical condition right now. authorities say the gunman, dechb patrick kelly, was shot during a confrontation outside the church. he then managed to drive away with two men in pursuit. investigators say he crashed before apparently killing himself. investigators also say that a domestic situation at this point looks like it played a role in the shoog. kelly's mother-in-law attended the church but was not at the church during the time of the shooting. president trump is monitoring the situation from japan. the first stop on a 13-day, five-nation visit to asia. he talked about the shooting earlier today. >> this isn't a guns situation. we could go into it, but it's a little bit soon to go into it. it's a mental health problem at the highest level. it's

. >> katie, this will be a divisive and potentially embarrass i embarrassing subject here. ted cruz, jon cornyn, number two ranked republican senator, rand paul, mike lee, who is very much known as a conservative christian, senator steve banes from montana have publicly endorsed roy moore. other republicans have sat on their hands and backed luther strange, who was here in the senate as the appointed person who took over for jeff sessions, when jeff sessions moved to be the attorney general. remember, mitch mcconnell did not want roy moore in this seat. he campaigned and spent money on luther strange's behalf. his allies are already saying if this turns into the debacle that it looks like it might, the blame for that will turn to steve bannon's feet. >> he was the one pushing him forward. the president initially endorsed luther strange but when he lost gave a full endorsement to roy moore. my phone has been going off with various tweets as you've been talking, with various statements from various senators. corey gardner, senator from colorado saying if these allegations are found out to be true, roy moore must drop out of the alabama special senate ele
