but, katie says before the rain gets here it will be a phenominal friday. >> phenominal, that's the waymy friday's. good morning, i'm jim donovan. >> i'm brooke thomas. thanks for joining us, meisha is here with traffic, and katie has your phenominal

>> oh, just phenominal weekends, weekend bridges everybody here to ocean sit and to the jersey shorether. and just keep these great forecasts coming from "eyewitness news" every week. >> oh, yes. and if you saw from the footage there, people have been enjoying the beach. they've been building sands castles, having a ball, this is a family fun place. and so, you know, you left the new jersey, south jersey area, to move here permanently, and any regrets? >> no, no regret at all. ocean city is an unbelievable year-around community. love it. we've moved here ten years ago. i'm from cherry hill originally, my wife from upper darby, delaware county. so we have a lot of family and friends that come and see us here in ocean city. and we have no regrets living here year around, just absolutely love it. >> i know bob has converted me, i absolutely love it here at the jersey shore, as you can see, the boardwalk is getting pretty busy, some of the businesses are beginning to open. so, this is going to be the place to be all day. and you and i are both hoping that that rain doesn't come, but if i

nice long walk, lunch al fresca, any of the things, whatever you have going on, enjoy it, it looks phenominally clear. temperatures around the region off to little cool start. specially in the mountains, such clear sky, temperatures able to drop all the way to 35 degrees, 47 in atlantic city, still pretty calm wind for us out there. as the day progresses, everyone can bank on wall-to-wall sunshine. these are the days we live for. i mean, just so, so perfect outside. with light wind, low humidity, sunshine, temperatures in the very comfortable 70s. not sure you can top this, meisha, a but good luck. >> no, i'm telling you right now, i cannot. take a look what's behind me. guys i will say, for a friday morning, it has been fairly busy. typically fridays one of our lesser travel days as we know. but take a look what's going on. this is 95 southbound, right around cottman, see the disable vehicle pulled all the way off blocking that right lane, it looks like it is pulled out to the shoulder. but you are going to have -- you are going to have some slow downs around this, no doubt, watching interst

but, regardless, this is looking like a phenominal beach afternoon, about 80 degrees or so at the immediate shore, mostly sunny, nice and warm, water temperature, little cool for my personal taste, but you're at 57 regardless, wet suit will definitely help. if you got to go inside. but uv index awfully high. latter on the sun block, you know the rules. now, health report-wise, talk about this earlier, too, everyone's healthy for sensitive groups in terms of air quality, moderate levels of pollen, starting to throw in some brush as well as grass pollen, aside from the tree pollen, so moderate. uv index, very, very high. the heat index, just use caution, not terribly hotter when you factor in the humidity because we won't have too much humid toy contends with at least at this . look at that value though. outside in the live neighborhood network at 88 degrees, i just saw a barge float down the delaware, very model breeze if any at all. so what you see you what get on the thermometer here, 88 what we expect to hit at the airport, and official philly observation, and it is bittersweet, walt's la

thursday, friday, look phenominal right now. and even as we head into the weekend things do go back downhill. what do you got to worry about here today? couple of showers guys, not that bad. 64 degrees, is the eventual high. that's cool for the standards, just because you have all of the gray skies, spotty showers around tonight, we drop to only 50. looking ahead in the forecast, again, clouds break for sunshine, so gets progressively better with time tomorrow. and thursday and friday look awesome. by saturday though looks like the rain is set to return. meisha? >> of course it does. katie, thank you. good morning, everyone, happy tuesday. all right, looking at some construction here, where it is opening, the vine was closed both directions eastbound and westbound, between the schuylkill and broad. now you can see, we are opening, moving in the westbound direction, eastbound, is still closed just make note of that for those of how take the vine, myself included. construction of the schuylkill eastbound near the blue route, right

it looks just phenominal. only problem is again things do go downhill already by tomorrow. so save or today. i'm telling you, it will be beautiful. meanwhile period of rain moving, in primarily for the second half of tomorrow. heaviest falls to the south. we could be talking some pretty decent rainfall amounts out of. >> this we will detail this in full for you coming up later in the show, time everything out more specifically. meisha, over to you. >> yuck, we just need to live in our friday bubble. >> there go. >> we won't leave our bubble. good morning, everyone. construction clearing here, the schuylkill eastbound at the blue route, moving it on casino of the middle median right now, rate lane compromised but take a look, we actually is a lot of early risers say for friday morning, one of the less he traveled days, it is looking like there is some movement out there. take a look at the boulevard moving in the southbound direction. a lot of movement out there, as well, moving in the southbound direction, and look at the schuylkill headlight moving in the eastbound directi

but the rest of the day brightens up nicely for sunshine, and machine day at this point looks phenominal by comparison, 71 and sunny. we will take it. >> indeed, katie. thank you so much for that. good morning, everyone, happy friday. yep, wet start. a lot of construction. we had accidents. a lot of the stuff now starting to clear out of our way opening up some roadways. we will need it. it will get busy out there and it is wet so we know it will be slow. looking at the vine moving in the westbound side. you can see what it is looking there, eastbound side obviously looking good, as well. eels where i ten i cannily keep my eye. looking pretty good. little bit busier than what we normally see this early. i think a loft people heeding the warning, just because they know how wet the roadways are. not bad idea at all. where we had some construction, 59 north leading up to the blue route, that construction all since clearedment looking at the droplet on the camera lens, you can barely see this area, letting you foe again how wet it is, and it will be all morning, all day today, looking at had
