Tuesday julyivity, 2016. How are we on live right now fire works were going off at 0 00 something last night. It was brutal. Speaking of brutal it will be a brutal commute to work. So many people going back to work today. We have not only wet roads but we have the septa issue whether i bob will be address nothing a second. Which means more cars and more chances of a mess and Mother Nature providing her own fire works, this morning, because were seeing then are storms popping up, you can see the big area of rain, in, and moving you this right now, where you see red and orange and yellow that is where we are seeing heavy downpours and lightening moving across the delaware bay out of delaware into Cumberland County, new jersey. If these hold together some parts of the jersey shore will be rocking and rolling pretty soon. The it looks like central delaware getting the worst. Then we have heavy downpours around trenton, were looking at bucks county around doylestown and parts of the Montgomery County just north of the Upper Providence as well, heavy rain, help you get the a heavy downpour you could get quick a accumulation of rain which means ponding, hydroplaning and flash flooding, in fact we have a Flash Flood Watch in effect for all these counties in green, until 10 00 oclock this morning because we expect that situation to last, throughout the rest of the morning, only half mile visibility in pottstown. Foggy in trenton as well, so in addition to the rain all that moisture in the air is creating a little bit of fog. We have muggy 74 degrees in philadelphia a. Sixtyfour in mount pocono. Seventyfour at atlantic city. Seventyfive in dover. Wind picking up at 10 miles an hour out of the southwest in the city and were expecting to go get to 86 degrees today, depend how much sun we will get but rain and thunderstorms, throughout the rest of the morning commute, leave early as early as you can, to, handle all of the potential problems this morning, sun will emerge by this afternoon and we will heat up by end of the day. That is your planner for tuesday. So, as we get back to reality after a long who will take weekend, lets welcome back bob kelly. Hi, sue good morning everybody. Thanks for holding down the fort yesterday, 4 03 on this Tuesday Morning. The situation with septa just to give you an idea on a normal day, normal rush Hour Services they have 65,000 Seats Available on the regional will rail trains. Toe day there is 35,000, there is 30,000 people here, who will be without seats on a rush hour. Once that train hits capacity it will bypass any future stops. For example Paoli Thorndale line one of the busiest lines. Dave kinchen will be coming to us live from the wynnewood station, in a few moment but you will be okay on the thorndale station, downingtown, maybe that paoli stop but as the train moves closer to center city and it reaches capacity this gang right here, the main line will be in the bulls eye which most likely will be standing on the platform as that train goes on by. Of course to add to that mess we have the rain this morning. Find an alternate, look at the septa schedule. Go to septa. Org. It is basically a saturday Holiday Schedule which means trains are running every 30 minutes into center city. They have added extra trains on both market frankford and broad street subway and there is also free parking at the Frankford Transportation Center. Chris and lauren, back to you. As we said with bob and sue two big stories, weather and, of course, traffic with the septa traffic problems. Steve keeley roaming streets making sure road are safe to travel. Lets get to dave kinchen covering this chaotic scene to come later for septa riders. You are live along the Paoli Thorndale line. Reporter well, here at wynnewood station and we can tell you, they have been warning us all weekend inn this is the day when headaches and peel will feel the squeeze. The septas Regional Rail you will want to Pay Attention to the adjust to ted train schedule put in place this morning septa is running on a maryland filed saturday schedule after pulling onethird of the Regional Rail fleet, one crack in the steel beams of the 120 silver liner five train cars. Now with the sat the day plan in place the amount of trains heading in to center city are cut back half and those seats you heard bob talk about are cut down by half as well. Morning and evening rush hours will run close to every half an hour as possible but transit Officials Say there will be clouds and add advise people to move to bus or subway serve wismer park ago long the broad street and market frankford lines. They are adding old are train cars to ease some of the pressure of those lines with bolsters services a monk the city and suburban trolleys but transit managers still say that allow plenty of time and patients. Each line will have a an extra train that will run earlier then the normal saturday schedule for those coming in for the earlier work schedules, and at this point trains will be an added to the a. M. And p. M. Travel period. It will certainly affect me and my options because tomorrow is when i will leave, when i will get home a lot more crowded trains, that is for sure. It will be a nightmare. Im not sure if a lot of people know about it. Reporter we cannot emphasize bobs point enough, septa is saying riders should know once a train hits that full capacity they cannot make additional stops to pick up more passengers especially stations closest to center city. A lot of station will be bypassed because they get too full well before they go into center city. As we come back live, check septa and take a good look at the that sat the day plan, and, plan a cordingly. They said yesterday even if you can work from home, consider doing that, because today a lot of headaches, felt with the morning drive, and or morning commute and evening commute as well. Back to you you. Rain doesnt help a at all. Dave kinchen, thanks v. True. Before you head out, easiest way to figure out what to do at your train station, there is all that rain out there so all you have to do is log on to fox 29. Com web site and find a link with the information. Conditions could increase delays, as we said at septa platforms and along the roads. People make they are way back to work this morning after the long holiday weekend. Steve keeley you are in new jersey, checking on conditions there. How are things looking. Reporter i tried to do what kinchen suggested i tried to work from home today, oddly the boss said no, that will not work. You and jerrick and sue, everybody else, bob kelly, you cannot work at home today despite the problems. As soon as i Start Talking it start raining. It is not even raining that hard yet. That is a good thing. Before traffic builds up sue talks about hydroplaning is more dangerous because you can still do 07 on the highways like people were doing on our way down here on i95. You if hit 6 inches of water at 07 way more treacherous, dangerous and potentially deadly then if you hit it 20 once traffic builds up. That is a good thing. We came here where this massive road project, that is likely going to last until 2020 is underway. It is only drizzling and the drainage system is not in yet. You can see like a little creek and valley. With drizzle you can see a River Building up. Greg will walk down. The sewer system is not in. The sewer is 2 feet above where this water is running down, around and it caused a mud slide on the road. Look at this hill full of sand and mud. Every time it rains and rains hard you get a Swimming Pool well affect. Remember Chris Oconnell standing in waist deep water out here. Just like construction on i95 in philadelphia a, we have got concrete medians on the side of these temporary lanes with no drainage. Water has in where to go. Same with the schuylkill expressway around girard. That is how it becomes a Swimming Pool. However gets hit with that massive micro burst of heavy downpours where the skies dont move and it rains, rains, rains and get 3 inches a and hour that is where potential problems are. Lets look at this, this road, basically barely getting underway to be finish. Im standing on what would be the curve but between the curve and road we have a creek and since we are on the creek road we will call this creek road creek. Creek road creek. Steve keeley, thank you. Appreciate that. We will keep an eye on the road and, of course, with this septa mess a lot of questions about the ordering of these trains, now have a problem apparently. Evidently there was a delay getting those trains into service and very telling they will put some perhaps the older train cars into action. So, we will take a look at that. Also this morning. Police are on the the hunt foreman who tried to abduct two women in newark delaware. Sunday man grabbed a university of the delaware student at colonial garden apartment complex at main street. The same man tried to push a 61 yearold woman inside her own car. That was yesterday at the main towers. Investigators say that the student was unloading packaging when she was attack by a man who tried to put the a rag saturated with some chemical around her mouth. She fought him off and ran away. Just four short hours a complex next door woman was attacked from behind getting out of her car. She for the back and got away. Neighbors are now on edge. When we have a twoyear old little girl, wife, and you are out in a place where anything can happen, like, even our lard lord is one of the nicest people on earth, it the is just shocking. It really is. Would the men not hurt, Police Say Suspect is a white male in his early 20s, 5foot six or seven with a thin build. Well, the rain could not stop the grand finally of the wawa welcome america festivities last night. Art museum lit up in a dark cloudy sky, for the fire works. That same rain forcing several cancellations including a performance by philly pops. Not all performances cancelled however. That was one of the stars from foxs hit show empire yas the greatest, he performed one of the bigger hits from the show youre so beautiful. During his set he thanked the city for all it does for him. Watch empire every wednesday night right here on fox 29, that show is set to return this fall. You can see they were perform earlier in the day before the heavy rains came. 4 11. A country concert cancelled the threat made that put a hold to the night of the fun. I love music all right. Legendary r and b, the the o. J. s hit the parkway performing some of their biggest hits. They rock it in the rain, it didnt stop them from putting on a big show but sue, it was soggy last night and it will be worse today. I was watching that. You could see when light came around you could see sheets of rain and umbrellas came up and it didnt matter folks were rocking and rolling and had a great time. Now we have challenges this morning, post holiday challenges as i just tweeted with some heavier downpours moving through central delaware and thunderstorms heading in to southern new jersey. You can see all that lightening there and heavy rain around dover, delaware area. Pretty steady rain in southern New Castle County as well. We will show you, all of this part of the route 13, route 113, probably flash flooding going on as we mentioned high crow planing, ponding on the rode around the Maurice River here up are township in Cape May County and all this heavy rain is heading for parts of the jersey shore. If you havent left just yet. Be prepared, ocean city, Sea Isle City will be getting some pretty heavy rain and youll hear from some thunder as well. There is towamencin township with heavy rain. They come in pockets. Weak get big downpour and get a quick inch of rain before you know it and you have to take it slow and allow extra time, so for today, we expect this to keep up, through about 8 00 oclock this morning, and then sunshine, burns through all of those cloud in the a afternoon and we may get close to 90 degrees, this one computer model is going with 89 for today. By tomorrow, were in the 90s, by thursday, were back in the 90s with the possibility of pop up showers and thunderstorms. As soon as this round of rain is over get ready for the heat to turn up and way up and stay that way for the rest of the workweek even in the first part of the weekend. 74 degrees, muggy in philadelphia, plenty of rain around, 57 where it is raining heavily in dover delaware. Sixtyfour in mount pocono. Your average high is 87. We had tease event sat the day and sunday, but by monday we had high of only 80 degrees, yesterday with all those cloud to take we will go to 86, maybe even higher then 90s 90s, all the way through saturday that would be heat wave number two of the season. We will back down in the upper 80s by sunday and monday. Look at those shore temperatures when you get some beach time it will be nice and hot there as well with the happened breeze, 88, 87. Eightyseven for the next couple of days, so, bob kelly, once we get through this challenge then we have to figure out how to keep cool. It will be a challenge whether you use rails or the roadways, as see just showed us rain throughout our morning rush hour. Basically situation with september at Regional Rails are using a special schedule today, similar to a saturday schedule. So trains will run basically every 30 minutes. Your best bet, before you even head out the front door down load that schedule at septa. Org. Now each station along every single line has the suggested alternate, septa gives you a suggested alternate, to use a bus or a trolley to get to your destination. But it all depend upon what station you are originating and where you are going. That is another option if you do not have that vehicle to drivein to center city or drive to anyone of the closed parking lots. They have offered free parking at Frankford Transportation Center in northeast philadelphia a, that is where we have had our show up there in the northeast there and they have added extra trains on both market frankford line and broad street subway. But typically there are 65,000 seat on a morning rush hour commute with all of the trains a veilable, with the limited trains this morning we only have 35,000 seats for commuters. So, there is going to be some overcrowding, the the closer you get to the city expect those full trains to bypass you. We will see extra volume on the roadways this morning. Rain is naturally going to slow things down. Right now schuylkill in the bad at all but wipers are on and there is ponding from the the rain overnight. Heres i95 in Delaware County and heading to the airport expect delays this morning at philadelphia international. Chris and lauren, back over to you. We have an eye on this at 4 19. Bill cosbys lawyers will take another run at getting his criminal sex assault case thrown out when cosby returns to court on thursday. Two days from now.

Prosecutors say a new jersey man paid a philadelphia woman to allow him to sexually a salt two girls for years. Both adults face a range of charges including Sexual Assault and child endangerment. Bergen county prosecutors, accused the man of having sex with a 14 yearold girl. Investigators say he had been sexually assaulting the 14 yearold and 12 yearold since 2010.

We have rain moving through the area and there are places where it is pretty heavy and all to the south of philadelphia down in delaware and southern part of the new jersey. We will take the lightening away from that radar we will see smyrna delaware getting heavy rain in middletown, New Castle County and we will see this orange and the red, that is where rain is heaviest, bridgeton, new jersey and look at this heavier rain now into Cape May County on its way to the jersey shore. Sea isle city, wildwood, stone harbor, we will all get this heavy rain soon. You are in ocean city and atlantic city. You are probably hearing rumbles of thunderer cog your heavier rain. It is lighter to the north of news spots but parts of the bucks county still seeing steady to heavier rain and all that could make for some flooding on the roadways, Flash Flood Watch continues until 10 00 a. M. For most of the area looking at the future cast we have a situation continuing on and off throughout about eight or 9 00 e heavier rain pulls off shore by then jersey shore is last place to get the rain. They are getting it now and that will continue. Then we will head in the 80s with filtered sunshine throughout the afternoon. We could see a stray shower at 2 00 in the afternoon but nothing like what were going to get right now. We are close to 90 degrees today. We should get to 90 degrees tomorrow ape thursday and day after that and day after that, we are in for a prolong period of heat and humidity. Just like july is supposed to be around here. 65 degrees in mount pocono. Seventyone in lancaster. Seventyfour in dover. And wildwood kind of muggy this morning as we look back. Yesterdays high was 80 degrees, and today, we will well exceed that with enough sunshine to 88. Ninetythree tomorrow. Ninetyfour on thursday, friday, probably the hottest day, and we will see the heat index well into triple digits, by probably thursday, and friday, and saturday it gets hot again but then with the cold front and some storms in the afternoon that knocks temperatures down to the upper 80s on sunday and monday and should get rid of the humidity as well. If this is your week to spend at the shore it will be hot every day on the beach with temperatures in the upper 80s, bob kelly. Good morning everybody. Not looking good for commuters, this is that morning rush hour we have been talking about since friday on a normal day septas Regional Rails have about 65,000 Seats Available, coming into center city. Today with the adjustments we are looking at only 35,000 seats. Once that train reaches capacity it will bypass any of the the future spots. That will be the problem for the stations closer to center city. They are basically running on a modified saturday schedule which means trains running only every 30 minutes as opposed to ten minutes on a regular workday. You want to down load schedule made available last night at septa. Org and think about your alternates. Again, those crowded conditions will occur at all of the stations closest to center city, more chances that train will be filled and bypass you as youre waiting for to get on the train. Now each station along every single line has a suggested alternate to get you from where you are going the at that station to center city. Used for plans such as a snow day or when we do have problems like we have right now. So that is one option, if you do not have a vehicle or if you have no other option to get your self to work this morning. There are additional parking spots made available which is good news. 1600 extra spots at the Naval Hospital if you can get down to the naval station there at broad and paterson, you can use broad street subway, there are 300 extra spots available at columbus and spring garden, access market frankford line from there and extra spots available at both Frankford Transportation Center and along the are in is town high speed line, chris and lauren, back over to you.
