Constant rain creates flood ago long the roads and rivers. Plus we will continue to follow developing news out of russia where an air liner has crashed and no survivors have been found. And how will you remember super bowl lii . The determined fans are showing they really do bleed green. More on those stories in a moment but first we are under a accu weather alert with rain and flooding causing problems with many folks. Lets start with meteorologist chris sowers and accu weather, it is messy, chris. Good afternoon, it will come to an end, i prom that is but it is continuing to rain. We have been seeing this since yesterday evening. Starting to ease autopsy cross south jersey and delaware areas hit very hard, but were still, dealing with heavy rains north and west of philadelphia we will make a quick zoom to a couple of areas here one to the west of the trenton area, rapidly lifting off to the northeast and then there is this heavy ban right here just to the west of philadelphia which i
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.

At the end of this we see in more Northern Areas some of that of blue starting to work its way in. The radar trying to show you that changeover to mixed precipitation. As we take a look at radar right now the only thing weve got is a little mixed precipitation. This is probably snow mixing with sleet maybe freezing rain and right now its down south of baltimore to the west of dover and inching its way up toward the northeast. Probably by about 6 oclock in philadelphia, we expect this. It might even be a little bit before then. Bottom line is as soon as you see some of this coming in you do have to slow it down and be careful because anything in particular that hasnt been pretreated could be icy. As expected the winter storm watch still
