Wave heights a big problem. The strongest wave heights right now from lbi to rehoboth right off shore were looking at 12 to 15foot waves and this unfortunately is causing a lot of beach erosion and a lot of coastal flooding. And then we have the winds. They are whipping. A peak wind gust tuckerton 52 miles an hour. Were talking about Tropical Storm force winds and this has nothing to do with a hurricane. Delaware bay 48 Miles Per Hour, lbi47. The same in ocean city and North Beach Haven reporting a peak wind gust of 44 Miles Per Hour. Unfortunately the winds will still be a factor right into the weekend. Its going to take awhile for things to quiet down. For details on that and the latest on Hurricane Joaquin lets head over to meteorologist adam joseph. Yeah, these peak wind gusts are going to remain the strongest at the shore as we get into your saturday, so if we take a look at the map in total, from lancaster reading allentown through the day tomorrow wind gusts around 20, 30 miles an hour. For wilmington, philadelphia, trenton, the delaware valley, 30 to 40 miles an hour, very similar to today, maybe a little higher early in the morning. And then right along the shore winds gusting still 40 to 55 miles an hour and that trend with that northeasterly wind will continue to pile up the water not only into tonight, saturday, saturday night and throughout the day on sunday, so coastal Flood Warnings remain into effect into the end of the weekend, moderate to major flooding expected. What you witnessed today down there, that will be repeated at least four more times as we get into the weekend. The next high tide of concern is around midnight. Waves will continue to be six to 10 feet t the back bays, the delaware bay into the Delaware River the also expecting some of that flooding during the high advertisement as we takhightide. With Hurricane Joaquin winds down to 125 miles an hour. Still a major category three hurricane, it was a category four an hour ago. It is starting to lift now to the north away from the bahamas and again that low pressure that is near Jacksonville Florida is not going to capture joaquin so joaquin will keep its own track as it heads to the north and eventually northeast and it will be just off of our coast i say just but its many hundreds of miles as a category one on monday. So the only thing joaquin is going to do for any coastline along the u. S. Is just bring some higher waves early next week.

Adam. Yeah, were seeing a wall of green no matter where you are so everyone seeing that light steady rainfall presently and every now and then were getting a little pop of yellow parts of camden as well as Atlantic County and Burlington County getting a little bit of enhancement so to speak of the rain passing in off of the shore and we did have yellow with steadier rain in the last hour around center city that lifted to the north towards the pennsylvania turnpike but you can see at this point that heavier rain has temporarily moved off to the north. So were seeing again that steady rain very wet roadways and very slow go with that wind kind of moving that rain sidewards this afternoon. As we look at the rainfall totals so far in philadelphia weve almost picked up 2inches of rain just over an inch in trenton, wilmington, a buck and a quarter, Atlantic City the same and in dover 2. 59inches of rain so far. And as we look at double scan live radar we have a front that stalled just off the coast, more rain pushing in, another half inch to an inch. As we take a look at some of the data thats just off the shore here of delaware, winds out of the northnortheast 40 miles an hour, gusting to 49 and wave heights just off the coast 19 feet right now and speaking of the coast, thats where my colleague meteorologist Melissa Magee is and melissa we are nearing low tide but we are far removed from any threat of coastal flooding through the upcoming weekend. Yeah, thats right, adam. In fact i just heard cecily say in the last half hour that the shore is taking it on the chin. She wasnt playing about that because were dealing with those heavy winds. Im feeling the effects of those heavy winds and also the rain along the coast as well. Take a look at the waves behind me because this is going to be the issue as we head into the rest of the weekend with that coastal Flood Warning that stays up and really waves that continue to batter and crash into the shore as we can find along the shore line breaks as high as six to 10 feet as we go throughout the rest of our weekend. So lets check out the graphics and the big concern for our coastal communities. Weve got that high wind warning and the wind advisory is really up until 6 00 p. M. On saturday from coastal new jersey all the way down across the beaches in delaware and where you have the dark shaded counties we actually have a high wind warning with gusts up to 55 Miles Per Hour.

Then on saturday at 12 24 in the afternoon thats our second time of high tide. Sunday 101st a. M. And then sunday at 1 27 in the afternoon. So, this is definitely going to be a big concern as we head into the rest of the weekend. Something else i can tell you is that that constant northeasterly wind that on shore push of water it is stilly here at the coast and its certainly going to be a concern as we head into the rest of the weekend. Im going to send it back inside to you, rick. All right, melissa, thank you once again lets see how all this rain is impacting the commute home tonight. For that we go to matt pelman in the action News Traffic Center with an update. How are we looking matt.

Abcs lana zak has more from washington, d. C. Tonight. Reporter just one day after the tragic shooting in roseburg, oregon, the president reiterated his call for gun control. Make sure that anybody who you are voting for is on the right side of this issue. Reporter frustration etched on the president s face in this photo taken just moments after he first heard the news of the killings. And i will politicize it because our inaction is a political decision that we are making. Reporter but on the campaign trail several republicans disagreed. Look, stuff happens. Theres always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something and its not necessarily the right thing to do. You know, theres nothing criminals like more than unarmed victims.

Obviously we want to continue to even be better against the run. After their oh and two start eagles are trying to win two straight now on the road. So, what will it take to get it done . Espns Sal Paolantonio has the keys to victory. Aguilar, the rookie wide receiver for the eagles should have a big game. First of all when you look at the Washington Redskins defensively quarterbacks this season where they have targeted the right side of their offense, the right side of their offensive line, they have completed 82 percent of their passes with four touchdowns. Thats the most in the National Football league. Aguilar only has 12 targets this season. He should have 12 in this game alone. Obviously sam bradford number two. Must have a better outing on third down. So far this year sam bradford is completing just 38 percent of his passes on third down. Thats the worst in the nfl. And number three, the eagles must do a good job of forcing turnovers. Since he came into the league three years ago, kirk cousins the Washington Redskins quarterback has a turnover every 32 snaps. Thats the worst in the league. Bottom line is this. If the eagles cant beat kirk cousins with sam bradford at quarterback, then the eagles have a quarterback problem. Not only in the short term but long term. For channel6 im Sal Paolantonio, espn. Sal and his stats. Tonights phillies game against the marlins as you may have guessed postponed because of the rain.

Well shut the faucet off upstairs and try to relax the winds by sunday. As we look at double scan live radar, theres a wall of green out there. Weve got light steady rainfall everywhere and at times that rain is coming sideways with those very strong winds out of the northeasterly direction. Again most of us its light rain but you see a little stripe of some of the brighter colors here, the yellows and the oranges moving north from lower bank egg harbor alon along the Atlantic City expressway. Blossoming at the split of 70 and 72. Well see these bands of heavy rain developing during the overnight hours. Weve been flooded so to speak with pictures on social media. This coming from ruth from brigantine, new jersey and it just shows the scope of the ocean and how angry it is and any time the waves tried to break you can see how strong the winds are cause it kind of funnels up and sprays some of that surf so very choppy waters and it will remain that way right through sunday at the shore. Very chilly as well. Were only looking at 49 right now in trenton, 50 in allentown, 50 in wilmington, 52 in millville. We started this week with temperatures in the 80s. It was augustlike and this is a little more typical of mid to late november. Wind gusts right now at Philadelphia International airport the last hour 40 miles an hour. Close to that in wilmington, 30s along the shore and a little less to the north and northwest and northeast from philadelphia between 18 and 23 miles an hour. As we look at the future tracker wind gusts, right through tomorrow morning at 11 00 it remains the same, 40s at the shore, 30s inland and that will continue into saturday afternoon and saturday night. We have weak low pressure between charleston, to this carl and Savannah Georgia with the front stalled along the east coast. All that moisture being pulled up from the south and strong High Pressure in canada that is really throwing that northeasterly wind our way. So future tracker showing were still dealing with that moderate at times heavy rain at 11 oclock tonight. It eases a little bit tomorrow morning, starts to brake up in nature ann little more spotty. In the afternoon isolated on saturday afternoon. Were going to continue with the wind, the cool temperatures. Were not going to have have that steady rain all day tomorrow.

It is finally starting to lift away from the bahamas after battering those islands for two days straight with wind, rain and storm surge. But if we take a look at the upper levels in the atmosphere we had that low we were talking about in the southeast. It never had the lets say oomph to pull in joaquin and wrap it around the east coast. Theyre staying as two spate entities and thats why joaquin is heading out to sea. Good news for the east coast. The sevenday forecast, windy with showers at times tomorrow but not a washout, 58 degrees.
