Been pushing cars in the off season and its spring training and will be pushing franco with a lot of work this year and Jeff Skversky has that story from clear water. Reporter two years ago hall of famer smith made a bold statement saying third baseman franco is better than he at his age and he has not lived up to it and working hard in clear water with tell low teammate Carlos Santana and could be a make it or break it for franco and may have led in homers and rbi but the lowest in the league and lost his everyday job in the stretch. Just get better at everything and try to control my emotion try to be more aggressive and like i said to just have to do what i have to do to get better. Reporter to get better he played winter ball in the Dominican Republic and played with Carlos Santana in camp taking him under his wing and the lockers are side by side. And he called me, he said im so happy for you. I want to work together. The thing is with franco is great he come to work and working h

That have pulled through the last 12 hours but theres still more off to the southwest. Last night the heaviest rain fell here, the heart of south jersey. This batch that came through this morning also fell heavily across south jersey and if you look at the trajectory of this band here just to the southeast of baltimore and dc, it looks like that is going to run right over south jersey and delaware as well. So were getting whats called training. A lot of times we use that term during the summer months when we have thunderstorms in a row that run over the same areas over and over again sort of like train cars on a track. Thats what were seeing here and because of that north and west weve picked up. 75 to an inch of rain. We still have much more to come. Heres our Storm Tracker from ocean county Seaside Heights sandy hook through belmar and into Seaside Heights thats the rain that came through earlier this morning. Lighter shades of green for most of the immediate philadelphia area, were

Theres a lot going on with the weather. Weve got rain, weve got fog, well have gusty winds as well and were looking at satellite and radar showing that heavy rain is really coming in waves. Were seeing the first waves hit early this morning getting a little bit of break in part of the region but you see the rain down to the south thats still yet to move through the area.

You see that area of yellow, pockets of it traveling around kutztown around reading on 422 near pottstown. Be careful there. As w

Lehigh valley and northwest suburbs tricky roads covered with snow and wilmington and trenton will be somewhat of a slushy mix and delaware south jersey this is mainly a rain event so the focus is really further to the north the change over is from the south to the north the accuweather alert for wintry mix changing all over to rain by the afternoon but biggest is northwest of i
