Karen rogers. Shes in for dave murphy and matt pelman has been watching a nasty situation where the vine meets up with the schuylkill. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. The only thing better is standing outside in the rain. Grab the umbrella and hoodie. Storm tracker 6 double scan around the region you can see that the rain is overspreading the area and some of the rain areas of yellow that were seeing right through philadelphia right now, some pockets of pretty heavy rain so watch for that as youre headed outer. It will look similar to this all day long. Weve got a lot of rain coming our way. Say the light six and action radar showing this is just the first batch of this. Visibility we under upped a mile at Philadelphia International airport. 2mile visibility at reading so watch for that and certainly call ahead if youre flying out of town. 48 degrees right now in philadelphia, on the mild side butter with the rain and the breeze certainly feeling a little chillier than that but temperatures very mild today. Well be chasing a record in fact. Heres your planner for the day. By 9 00 a. M. , 50 degrees with rain, some heavy at times. The wettest part of the day is the first half. So, by noon 53 degrees.

All trains halted on the media elwyn line. On septa were on a modified weekday schedule today because of the Christmas Eve holiday. Going outside to the vine street expressway big problems here. Weve got a backlog coming west of broad street through the schuylkill because the ramp from the westbound vine to the eastbound side of the schuylkill and 30th street station remains closed because of an overturned truck. If youre coming west on the vine you can sit through that delay and get on the schuylkill west and then flip at girard or montgomery if youre trying to get on the eastbound side of 76 or bail out by the time you get to broad and use the local city streets to get to the eastbound side of the schuylkill. This is the roosevelt boulevard, a little light fog this morning, definitely wet conditions. At this point other than on the vine volume is pretty light. We expect a later than normal rush hour on this Christmas Eve morning. Tam. Okay, thank you, matt.

Looking after future tracker 6 we see rain, some of it heavy, kind of a same situation as we see now. By lunchtime still rain heavy at times through the day. The first half of the day is the wettest. When we advance this to 6 oclock you can see it lessens a little bit. Its still out there but its not a soaking rain everywhere but watch what happens if youre headed to Midnight Mass. This is when the front comes through in the overnight hours. We could see thunderstorms embedded in this. So when you hear the thunder overnight, is it rudolph, is it thunder . Im not sure.

Before it was just the ramp that was shut down from the vine westbound to the schuylkill eastbound and 30th street but now youre seeing no traffic coming through whatsoever on the westbound side of 676 headed towards 76. Lets talk about the alternate. In fact, theyre spinning the cameras so we may get a better sense of whats going on here. I think theyre forcing all westbound traffic off at the ben franklin parkway just off at the top of the screen forcing everybody off onto the parkway at this point. I would bail before you get to that point. Bail at broad street and then use the city streets to work your way over to 76 eastbound or 76 westbound at this point and 30th street. Changing situation on the vine that well keep watching. Also a new crash on the pennsylvania turnpike eastbound past Fort Washington.

Theyve blocked off all the lanes. Theyre forcing all the traffic off onto the ben franklin parkway. So, were looking at a parking lot as you come rest of 95 on the vine street expressway through that closure point at the ben franklin parkway. Again, you dont want to get on the vine street expressway. This is the kind of thing youre going to be stuck in before they force you off onto the ben franklin parkway. Once youre off on the parkway then what do you do . Take the parkway to the river drives if youre trying head west f youre trying to head east i would bail early on in the game and work your way on the city streets over towards south street and from there you can get on the eastbound side of the schuylkill. Also watch agnew crash in culpsville involving a tractortrailer. Police directing you around sum knee road. Medias elwyn line closed because of downed overhead wires.

Yeah and theres plenty for you to be aware of already on this Christmas Eve. Volume is not our major problem this morning except if youre on the vine street expressway where westbound were parked coming off of 95 out to the ben franklin parkway. Thats where theyre forcing all westbound traffic off because just up ahead here by the schuylkill we had a truck that overturned a little bit after 5 0 this morning. Theyll force you offer onto the ben franklin parkway. You can take that to the river drives if youre trying to get west. If youre trying to get east i would bail pretty early on your journey on the westbound vine and start using the city streets to work your way, maybe south street. Of course well continue to watch that situation. Were also watching flooding by Rosemont College along montgomery avenue right by ithan avenue. Stay up on old gulph road or down on 30 lancaster avenue to get around that. On the pennsylvania turnpike eastbound side just past Fort Washington theres a crash. Vehicle favoring the wrong way but the good news is its all off to the side so the lanes are opened and in cupsville. The police are directing you around.

A car crashed into a home in chester and police think it was because the driver was focused not on the road but rather on trying to shoot out of that moving car.

Inside the vehicle investigators found two semiautomatic handguns. They have not found any victim of the earlier gunfire or the person who was behind the wheel.

First one is the vine street expressway westbound side shut down here at the ben franklin parkway because of an overturned truck up ahead.
