This will give you an idea how high water will get. When we ever come back here in the middle of a big storm because we are about 10 feet above sea level here. They have this build because they want this to withstand and stop water from flooding the roads. Check this out, dave warren, before sunrise and for sure before the storm there is construction going on a big backhoe that you can sianni here digging up sand and trying to pile up a temporary dune right new where this sea wall isnt finished constructed but they want any kind of ocean what the their will flood in here during the height of this Tropical Storm possibly hitting here. You can see backhoe piling up a dune in the darkness. You never see construction going on around the clock unless there is an emergency. That gives you the sense of the urgency, dave here at the shore with the little construction traffic for you as you go into the philadelphia area traffic situation today. Yeah, traffic is moving nicely just like the roadways are this morning, that could be changing though, weather permitting, of course, people still have a lot of plans to head down the shore, along i95 and cottman looking good north and southbound.

All right. Here she is, this is now Tropical Storm hermine, the eye of the storm a little less defined but Still Holding together as a Tropical Storm as it continues a inland northeasterly movement with 07. It is 50 miles north east of tallahassee. It made land fall at 1 30 close to tallahassee and now heading through georgia, south caroline, North Carolina rain band extend that far north in the out are banks where they are getting rain now and that will continue through tomorrow for them. The storm itself will progress and hold together as a Tropical Storm and as it moves off shore on saturday and you can see there the cone of uncertainty really widens after that happened. But we do expect this storm to stay off shore, not a direct impact but there will still be impact. The most of our Spaghetti Models are agreeing everybody likes to look at Spaghetti Models. Mostly agreeing on a off shore track for this track as it gets close tore our area. Looking at these win gust as long the shore we have Tropical Storm force win gusts as early as sat the day and then especially on sunday where by sunday evening we could have 50 miles an hour win gust as along the coast and wind inland as well. We could see 30 to 35 miles an hour wind gusts that is impacting us as well. So late day showers with 20 to 40 miles an hour win gusts on saturday and sunday. If you get rain and wind it will be heaviest then with the 30 to 60 miles an hour gusts then. Lingering showers possible at the shore on monday with winds gusting to 20 to 30 miles an hour. So any rain that we get could be as much as three to 5 inches, high tied nine to 10 00 a. M. , nine to 10 00 p. M. Generally along most of the new jersey shore points. In philadelphia it is a beautiful morning. Our Tropical Storm warnings by the way continue along the east coast. Rye now though we have 65 comfortable degrees in philadelphia mostly other temperatures in the 60s. The 50s to the north of us. Average High Temperature 83 degrees, we will be right around that. Eightyone yesterday. Eightythree, 84 today and then 70s on saturday and sun take, with quite a few included on saturday. We will see the rain, until saturday night, until we get any and any tropical impact we will get in the city on sunday and it all depend as you well know on final track of the storm. Close enough to impact the area, impact of the roadway 76 eastbound 202, work around this one here, there is a crash here with the lane blocked and car on the shoulder, cars are getting by but slowly. Lanes are block eastbound on 76 just past 202, out toward king of prussia tacony palmyra bridge there is an opening this morning. Seeing that happening shortly or happening now but might to have work around that this morning because the bridge is expecting to see that opening and it should happen here any minute if it is not already occurring. Few issues on other roadways in pottstown route 23, ridge road near pottstown pike, might have to get around this one. Slow in the area.
