Mostly right down at the shore. Satellite and radar shows you that the cloud cover from jose and those rain bands are getting closer to the coast but right now as you take a look at storm track sick six live double scan looks like most that of rain is off the coast and its on its way in. Well keep our eyes on that but so far so good down the shore. Its pretty gray and maybe a little damp but the main body of rain still off the coast and it doesnt look like the rain is going to be much of an issue for you. 72 degrees in philadelphia, 68 currently in allentown, 66 in reading. 70 in trenton. 71 in wilmington. 70 in cape may, new jersey, and 71 at the airport in ac. It does look like it will start out pretty cloudy and well see clouds and maybe occasional sunny breaks. 74 degrees by noon and 77, thats your high at 3 oclock. Breezy and at times a little damp but not a whole lot of rain overall, 75 by 5 oclock and by 7 oclock 73 degrees on the thermometer. On the bus stop this morning, well, it looks like its decent for the kids. 67 degrees in some of the suburbs. 71 in philadelphia. Cloudy, a little bit humid but not too bad overall. And as we take a look at the impacts at the shore, well, first of all, the wind gusts right now are not that impressive. 25 Miles Per Hour gusts in beach haven, no gusts reported in a. C. And a 21 Miles Per Hour gust in cape may. The storm system is going to be a little farther away from us than it was projected yesterday and thats going to help out with that Tropical Storm watch no longer in play. But we still have issues down along the water. Our coastal Flood Warning in effect until 1 oclock in the morning overnight tonight. High tides between 7 15 and 8 15 tonight minor coastal flooding and between 7 30 and 8 30 tonight you could be looking at moderate flooding and on the beach breakers eight to 10 feet bad rip currents and beach erosion in store today for the shore. Karen. Well be watching the coast carefully. So far youre looking good on the roads. Were live on the garden state parkway right at the cape may toll plaza. You can see were dry. No issues with water right here and certainly very light volume as you head out early this morning. Lots of construction crews out here. Live here in bucks county, this is i95 at route one and weve had construction blocking the left lane which should be clearing in the process. We see it mostly off to the side right now. And on the vine street expressway we were shut down for overnight construction. Seeing one car move by but overall the ramps and lanes have been shut down and theyll shut again tonight at 11 oclock and shut the vine down in both directions. Look, live on the roosevelt boulevard extension thats southbound traffic headed towards the schuylkill. Nice easy ride. Roads are clear and dry this morning and certainly we have light volume, matt. Thank you, karen. The red flag warnings are up. Hurricane jose is kicking up high surf at the beach and jersey shore towns arent taking any chances. We have Live Team Coverage for you. Jeanette reyes is live in ocean city but we begin with bob brooks in a windy choppy North Wildwood. Good morning. Reporter good morning. We got a little dog Walking Around here checking things out just like we are here. I want to bring the camera just behind me here. You can see now the waves, theyre getting big down here. Watch one of them come right up almost over the rocks of where were standing. Now, we got down here at about 3 oclock this morning. They certainly werent this high and in a matter of about an hour, hour and a half now theyre starting to overtake this area where we are right now in North Wildwood. Thats the corner of j. F. K. And second here and im just going to walk around the overhang here so we can get a better look of everything thats going on right where we are and more of the same right here. So, the message today is to people do not go out in the water. Dangerous. That image speaks for itself right there just how choppy things are getting, just how windy its getting. I had my wind gauge out just a second ago. Were getting up into 20, 25 miles an hour wind gusts so pretty dangerous right now. Again the message dont go out in the water. Reporting live from North Wildwood bob brooks channel6 action news. Allall right, bob thanks so much. Tam. Fast rising waters spilled into the parking lot of the bay park marina in avalon during high tide last night. Earlier in the day workers used equipment to push sand up the beach in anticipation of beach erosion. High tide rescue vehicles are also on stand by. Kathy marshall is worried for her home with piles of Construction Material left unsecured at the home right next door. The winds are going to be pretty strong right here and i dont want the construction stuff in my house. Like hitting a window cause that could be really a problem. Officials are warning residents to move their cars to Higher Ground if theyre in a flood prone area and to be prepared for potential power outages. And for more on whats happening right now, lets turn to Jeanette Reyes. Shes live in ocean city with a look at things there. Good morning. Reporter good morning, tam. You know, when we first got here, i was telling my photographer that we didnt really feel much of a difference but the gusts started picking up about 30 minutes ago when we started noticing in fact you can feel it right now. Im a little closer to the water. I wanted you to see these waves crashing along the shore. Theyre certainly a lot stronger than you would typically see around this time. This, of course, is all the results of hurricane jose which is churning up the east coast. For many of the residents this is kind of exciting to see. Yesterday there was a bit more activity, a lot of people taking pictures but there are some warnings that you might want to heed. We are expecting some dangerous rip currents, rough surf, beach erosion and pounding surf along the delaware beaches and the jersey shore. So, what youre seeing right now, its going to get much worse as the day progresses. So you can expect some rain in this area. The best thing i can tell you as far as maybe some precautions you should take is i would just suggest maybe taking a picture, thats about it. In fact, conditions that are not as bad as this its already dangerous so certainly keep that in mind as the day progresses. Reporting live in ocean city, Jeanette Reyes channel6 action news. Agreed. Thank you jeanette. Rough surf building in Rehoboth Beach delaware. Waves came crashing down around high tide last night. A few brave swimmers dared to take a dip but did not venture very far. The next high tide in rehoboth is at 8 00 a. M. Signs of damage from the fury of Hurricane Maria its a category four storm but maria came ashore in dominica last night as a category five. The Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit fears most of the homes and stores you see are destroyed. Skerrit had to be rescued when winds tour the roof from his home. He and other officials are waiting until day break to take a moment to assess the damage and start up a search for survivors. The storm is now moving toward the Virgin Islands and puerto rico where it could be a direct hit. Aside from power outages, the u. S. Territory has been spared the worst last week from irma but now those 450 shelters that had opened for irma will stay opened and in place for maria. When it comes, whats going to happen later . How we going to be, you know . Thats the worst is the aftermath. Rationing of basic food and supplies is now in effect. Fema officials plan to stay and help with the recovery. And as tam just mentioned, up next, david, for maria could be a direct hit with puerto rico. Yeah, that looks like sometime tomorrow and if youre in the eastern bahamas, you also have to keep your eyes on that storm. Storm tracker6 live double scan right now shows us that our local rain from jose still mainly off the coast, a little bit of a sprinkle coming into places like Atlantic City, maybe Sea Isle City and ocean city getting some of that. As we take a look outside, we have cloudy skies above the ben franklin bridge. Not that you wont see any sun today, but it will be mainly cloudy with some sunny breaks, kind of like what we had later in the day yesterday. 72 degrees in city of philadelphia. 71 in wilmington. 68 degrees currently in allentown. 67 in reading. 70 in trenton and 71 at the airport in a. C. 70 in cape may. Hurricane jose is still 230 miles east of Cape Hatteras moving north. Took a little jog toward land but is now on that expected track and it now looks like its going to bend away from us a little bit and so we dont have the Tropical Storm watch here and we will see how this category one hurricane at some point is going to become a Tropical Storm which weakens the wind profile and it looks like it curls around and stays over to our east at some point as the next tropical low but the big issue will be today and tonight as that storm is closer to us. Futurefuture tracker6 showing yu the rain not a whole lot of this coming in with that storm track a little farther off the coast. You can see that the shore may at times pick up a steady rain and something break away might go as far as allentown or so but it looks like fairly minor precipitation for most areas and its done by about 10 oclock tonight. Down the shore though we have issues with breaking waves in that onshore flow. The wind will still have some bit of an impact. Eight to 10foot breaking waves will lead to damaging beach erosion and were looking at a coastal Flood Warning with minor tidal flooding according to many during during the morning and moderate for the evening high tide and of course dangerous rip currents definitely an issue and if youre a ma mariner you have Tropical Storm conditions the further you go out in sea. Not a great day to go fishing. Mostly cloudy, rip currents at the shore with a high of 74 at the beach today. Up in allentown, mostly cloudy and mainly dry. There could be a passing shower but it wont be all day certainly and most of the day looks dry, 80 degrees there. And then 77 degrees in philadelphia under mostly cloudy skies. Occasionally damp with a popup shower possible. One of those little bands coming through. Winds out of the northeast gusting to 30 Miles Per Hour, a little bit blustery out there. And then tonight clearing, a shower early, 67 degrees and still somewhat breezy overnight t Hurricane Maria in the meantime as tam just said has made landfall in dominica. Now you see the clearly defined eye making its way towards puerto rico and perhaps the u. S. Virgin islands. This is going to potentially be a category five as it comes ashore in san juan or at least in the eastern part of puerto rico and then it crosses the island as a four, probably diminishes to a three around the turks and caicos and. Your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, todays high is 77. Breezy, damp, a bit on the humid side today and down the shore you have that rough surf and the related conditions. Tomorrow some sun reemerging. It might be a little humid with a high of 85. Rosh hashanah arrives in the evening and it looks okay for that. And then very warm and humid on thursday, 86 degrees. Fall arrives on friday but a high of 84 is not going to feel like it. For the weekends saturday sunny and warm, 85 and on sunday, still warm and fairly nice with a high of 86 degrees. Really feeling like summer on the first full weekend of autumn. On monday more clouds and there could be a thunderstorm popping up in a few spots in the afternoon. Still staying warm there.

The big deal weve had is just lots of construction going on causing restrictions. However, were seeing improvement here on the schuylkill east of 202. That traffic is moving a lot better. The construction is cleared. And now were looking pretty good on the schuylkill expressway. Also the westbound construction that was on the schuylkill between the pennsylvania turnpike tolls and gladwyne has also cleared so crews are packing up, theyre leaving. Theyre blocking the left lane on the turnpike westbound near downingtown. Seeing some area of yellow westbound showing maybe a touch slow in that area. Theyre also blocking the left lane here eastbound on the turnpike near fort washington, so watch for those lanes being blocked right now. How about outside live on the vine street expressway . And no traffic moving just yet. The vine is shut down in both directions as are the ramps as they do when they shut the vine down. It will reopen in another 20 minutes or so and then close again tonight at 11 oclock so well be watching for that closure there of the vine. Storm tracker6 live double scan showing right now this rain is off the coastline with jose. We are starting to get some windy conditions along the coast itself. Well see a shower or two possible through the day in philadelphia. 72 degrees the current temperature. The highs only 77, mostly cloudy skies.

You can see the heaviest band well off Atlantic City but some of these lighter sprinkles are beginning to come in and that is the outer rain band activity coming off of hurricane jose, still a category one hurricane obviously the center of the storm still well off the coast arent it still looks like and it still looks like this is going to weaken and do one of these moves. Its far enough way where we dont have a Tropical Storm watch on the land anymore although mariners have to be really careful because conditions get really treacherous quickly as you push out off the ocean so thats something to keep in mind.
