With us. December getting off to a wet start, lauren. You know, i was supposed to go to the gym yesterday because i skipped thursday, friday, saturday, sunday. Because of the holiday and you are out the of town. And then we hung out at Reading Terminal market yesterday afternoon. And how much did you eat. I skipped the gym. Every time we walk through we did a promo which is fun to get everybody together in one time. It is just so tempting. Everything is so wonderful there. Gorging on food. You have to make a decision every time you walk through there. Well, i think it was probably mobbed at the gym yesterday because everybody who felt guilty about the weekend. It was too crowded. You wouldnt have gotten a machine, you know. This was called rational says, folks. Lets lot at rain all over the the place, few breaks in the action as we lot at direction the the rain is moving. It is from southwest to north east. So weve got a break, a few areas of drizzle, and then more rain coming. If you air long the jersey shore we are seeing steady rain, same in philadelphia, delaware county, northern part of the new castle county, we have got pockets of heavy rain in berks county just south of reading, and just north of mount pocono, it is some of the Higher Elevations a tiny bit of freezing rain in mix in depending on the temperature just that close to freezing. We will see heavy rain heading our way. Were not finished with this for the entire day pretty much. 48 degrees. 7 miles an hour wind out of the east north east, 3 miles visibility, 7 03 is your sunrise time. The visibility is an issue with fog around, trenton, lancaster, allentown, reduced visibility at the airport as we said, 7 miles visibility in Atlantic City international and 3 miles in wilmington and temperatures are above freezing even in the mountains but not by much, further south you go you see milder temperatures so 40s in trenton and reading and lancaster. Fiftys down to the south of us this morning. Bundling up is not the issue but staying dry is. Temperatures are ten, 12 degrees warmer then yesterday at this time. So fox cast has a high, well that would be yesterdays high, anyway, yesterday was 49 e about 56, with some rain. We will talk more about the forecast and get you ready for the weekend, why not, first day of december, first weekend coming up, lots of activities, it is all going to happen soon. Im picking out my keurig over here. Good morning, everybody. Were going to go need a big old pot of coffee this morning. Look a this is mess a jackknife tractor trailer in northeast philadelphia this is ramp from woodhaven road to go south on i95. It looks like not only one jackknife tractor trail they are guy tried to go around him and he is stuck as well. So much information traffic getting out of northeast philadelphia, again, woodhaven road eastbound, the ramp to 95 south. So there is the front of the tractor trailer. Obviously he spun into the the woods there. This is going to be a problem. If you are leaving the house northeast philadelphia, try to get to i95 use academy road that will get you down to i95. Now heading north on i95 we have big old puddles in the Construction Zone here at cottman avenue. That will be the call for all of the work zones, those drainage grates are located right there in the travel lanes and another problem we have eastbound on the schuylkill expressway an accident in the tunnels at 26th street. That will cause delays, that little short cut for folks trying to get over to philadelphia international. Stick with the schuylkill and head down past stadium there on broad street. They are still block on the vine street expressway eastbound lanes are blocked for maybe another 15 minutes or so.

Two suspects behind bars, a fourth is out there on the run. Steve keeley is on this story for us. Reporter it is december 1st i can be first report tore say first of many stories and many crimes that the police have have a real life grinch they are looking for since it is christmastime. Green like the the grinch and green being the color of money that they are getting very illegally. Here thinks Holiday Seasons first grinch that police are looking for 41 yearold maurice brown. Only one of the four man, bad check, bad guy team, not caught just yet. Now, what is going on is apparently according to police mr. Brown and his three accomplices got blank checks from a store like a staples. Then they got legitimate check numbers and account on some companies real checks, ape were able to print them, call the bank and go on line and get the their bank routeing number nine left and then suddenly they can print checks on Real Companies accounts that have tens of thousands usually so they dont notice thousands being deduct illegally at the banks. And they get to the bank, write a check at home, go to the bank, cash it and walk out with thousands. Easy to do. The the individual involved here is an organized group of check counterfeiters. What they do is count are fit business checks from legitimate companies and write these checks to themselves and they actually go into Financial Institutions and cash checks. A lot of times when it is a Large Business it takes a while for them to catch up and realize they are counterfeit ape they have been cash and these guys will be in the win. When he we did our investigation we found four individual involved in this particular ring, three of which we have in custody. We have one male still outstanding. Reporter they will go to Large Businesses because if they wrote on personal peoples accounts, chances are when they wrote the big bad check at the bank it with bounce since people dont have that much money in the account that say a restaurant chain might have. So say with the color green, coincidently they were doing this at td bank. It is Banks Insurance Company that suffers the loss here. None of the companies will lose any of their money and bank itself wont lose any money. Chris and lauren, major crimes hoping on this christmas to have you dont to have put a bow on it but just call in with a tip and these guys will be happy to see mr.

The storm parties kind of appropriate, on a morning like this, and it is also the first morning of december, and lets look back at november and, the warmest november of all time, ever, ever, with temperature that was 5. 6 degrees, above average.

They started with it yesterday, in the late mornings and now it has spread up to the jersey shore and into the philadelphia area where were getting lighter rain at the moment. We are seeing breaks in Chester County and montgomery county, further to the north, and it is, very, very light rain.

Leaving northeast philadelphia avoid woodhaven road, exit at academy, take academy road down and that will get you on to i95 south and good to go. If you are coming south on i95 from yardley bucks county you are okay but ramp from woodhaven to go south on i95 that is blocked.
