you may start to hear my microphone the wind starting to blow. the wind is your bigger issue. we take a look at palmyra cove nature park. you can see the city sky escapee. it was so foggy between systems that that led to major visible issues. that said, let's talk about that wind, this is still a pretty prolonged wind event. nowhere near the strength and we had last night. but you're still going to see gusts of 35 any time. gusts to 30 any time tonight and tomorrow. and eventually it does taper off completely as we hit the upcoming weekend but in the meantime as erika had alluded to it's a mild beginning. we expect low and mid 50's for the majority of day. gradually with time, colder air is set to take over the area, of course, that means the thermometer will gradually start to decline with it. by the time we hit tomorrow, we're going to end up with the coldest day of the next seven. i'll sell you how low they will get coming up later in the show. >> thanks so much. the one thing i noticed right away is that wind was certainly blowing hard this morning, i got to say it was feeling nice as katie spooned at some point in timeed out. we're not seeing pooling like we were even earlier in the morning, now that's kind of all being dried out pushed to the side. maybe out of those bridges and bridge decks. be careful because it's so warm, it's not going to freeze over.

bridge three hours to clean it up. the drivers was not hurt. heavy downpours meanwhile caused flood waters to rise so quickly in baltimore, it drowned cars. look how high up the water is there. drivers fled just leaving their cars behind. some tires got stuck in the mud when drivers tried to pull a u-turn on that median. thousands of maryland residents are still without power this morning. back here, katie, i don't know about you but i was woken up by the storm a couple times >> there were strong wind that came with this and the pounding rain. i think a lot of people, they weren't woken up, we go to bed a lot earlier than most people. they definitely heard it roll on through here. look at some of the storm wind gusts the peak gusts we've reported here. 63 miles per hour wind gusts in blackwood 50, atlantic city 54, and philadelphia international airport 47 was reported. it's understandable. if you heard the storm lil literally rumbling in. when you got that kind of strength. this storm had that strength of the cold front that came through especially through the carolinas and virginia, that's where it was at least bulls eye ground zero so to speak but the cold front as it rolled through our area ended upbringing a squall line. this storm is huge. so it will take a little time for us to a, get rid of it but bsee the aftermath impacts go by the way side. you're going to have a couple showers with the want around moisture behind it. some of it looking steady outside of the baltimore area. actually a little pocket of really heavy rain coming in. i don't think that messes too much with us. we'll keep an eye on the radar. once the storm is gone, we're done. we end up with high pressure for couple days. still blustery and chilly on friday. that's going to be the coldest day of our forecast. with the high can expect sunshine saturday and frankly the second half of the weekend is my favorite. 54 is our current temperature. 54. it's really mild outside. however, don't get used to think these temperatures will eventually start to decline and that's, of course, colder air begins to wrap if on the back edge. midday temperature about 55. by tomorrow, we're stuck back down to 40 at best. then we start to rebound and look at sunday. it's beautiful. so nice. by that point more clouds maybe a shower. sunday is the day. >> sunday. >> we do have flooding out there

area. today, the national weather service will be in lancaster county checking to see if a tornado touched down there. several buildings, including a school house in the town of gap suffered major damage. also knocked out power to many residents in the area, thousands of people. crews are working to restore that service. hard to believe looking at this video no one was injured. that's a positive we can take away from this. once again, national weather service looking for it was a tornado in lancaster >> last evening when the squall line came in was when things started to get nasty across eastern lancaster county. we're looking at the radar from last night. let's go full screen with it. we'll take you back in time and show you what ended up transpireing. this was rough stuff. we had incredible strength with that squall line here. we zero in, again this is from last night. what ended up happening. doppler indications of rotation that you see on the tail end of loop there, that's why. the tornado watch got upgraded to a warning for that area. it happened at 7:00 p.m. in lancaster county. when that nasty thunderstorm cell rumpled on through. numerous damage reports including flooding but specific to the town of white horse north of gap. we ended up with several buildings reported suffering wind damage, considerable debris. now, when the national weather service goes out to do their survey. they're going to be looking for a wind damage 18 or tornado >> biggest difference is the direction that the wind and the damage takes from that wind. so if it was straight line wind, you would see the kind of debris all being pushed in one direction that the wind was coming from. if it was tornado in nature, that would scatter the debris for one thing but also sort of the sort of twist it, twisted kind of damage that would result in that. that's what they're going to be assessing. we bring it back to dark residual impacts at this point. there are flood warnings posted until 10:15 in mercy. meantime our area temperatures are really mild. you still got wind and these temperature cold air starts to catch up with us will cambric wally decline. so these are your expected afternoon temperatures around the region as a whole. but expect that those values will can't to decline. that a may feel cooler than that as the wind starts to shift more northwesterly. in the meantime they could gust as high as 35 miles per hour at any time. this is a prolonged event. i'll tell you how long it will last coming up later in the show >> thanks so much. good morning everyone and happy thursday, it is our gate with, we're making progress. first we have to get through today. we do have an accident moved to the shoulder. this is 95 south past cottman avenue. it was blocking that left lane causing significant delays. now it's been moved over to the shoulder. i can tell you that it's still going to cause delays and we're going to have the gaper delays, but two, volume levels are certainly starting to heat up as we push into the 6:00 hour. i'm usually back camera to think it was frozen. as you can see, not much movement in terms of the vehicle crawl all the way around this scurve your seeing just a sea of brake lights. not only are you not traveling at posted speeds but accident pushed over to the shoulder, this is that residual effect. you're seeing a lot of slow down here, it is going to slow you down quite a bit. make note of that and schuylkill eastbound ramp from glad win we have minor flooding in or around that area. lincoln drive northbound take a look at this, flooding, north at rittenhouse street, gypsy lane and also in the same area, disabled vehicle kelly drive outbound. those of you in or around that area. going to slow you down in the of course we got flooding, route 42 near king high highway all lanes blocked in jersey. the storm moved through the philadelphia area, "eyewitness news" toured some of that damage and justin finch

greenwood and fox chase road. that area is now closed. we're waiting on peco crews to show up and take a look at damaged wiring back there. which will hopefully get the power that's out in some of these areas back on line here. the likely cause is strong winds as we saw in lawncrest last night. let's take you to that video. strong winds are being blamed for this blown-down burger king sign. the rising sun avenue restaurant was open at the height of last night's storm. workers and customers inside. some interfering that sign would collapse on to them, it did not and there are no reports of any injuries as a result of that accident. let's move you now to cheltenham where we have another downed tree. this one fell on to a house about 9:00 p.m. at new 2nd street and east church road. there were two people inside the home at the time that tree fell. neither have reported injured. we get a better look at that damage. we'll see that as will they. let's take you back to meeting house road. we do have cars on the other end going around the detour. you might see a lot this morning as crews working to get power restored and roads cleared. there is lots of debris in some areas have not been cleaned oregon over yet. we're talking about branches, tree parts, trash cans and recycling bins. also ponding in areas, got heavy rain last night. erika back over to you. >> thank you for the dept.

a pretty rough start in life. where she was found abandoned. coming up. if you're on your way out the door, meisha lets you know which area roads are still flooded. you'll have to go best video you'll

line to get that little one. yeah, but i mean i feel like that's just the cat's pajamas. that's the best i got because you took my line. stop it right now. >> let's go ahead and check in with what's going on with the weather watcher network. they have a couple of pretty substantial rainfall totals they're coming into us. kenneth is in willingboroly reporting two and three quarters inches of rain, delores picked up over two inches as did bar before in rolling as did julie in allentown, broad stretch of heavy rain-over an inches, even close to two for kerry if mt. laurel and the list goes on. where we ended up over an inch. there were spots that didn't do quite as well from phil in philadelphia. we picked up just 100th of an inch. our first photo does come to us from phil, gorgeous shot of the moon this morning, skies had a chance to clear out briefly. still rain coming out. water dripping down from the downspout. that's because we are still finding obviously things try to drain away from the flooding but also you still got residual showers. i did hear from somebody on twitter in kutztown and it's not just showering, it's straight up raining. you're going to have pockets of the heavier stuff come through but it is scattered in nature. that said, in terms of the storm damage we saw, a lot of clean-ups to do. major flooding, cars stranded. trees, again, falling on to structures here, left and right across our area. this is a short list of some of those worst storm damage that we saw in our area. but al with the flooding concerns, we still have a couple of guages that are at least close to or actually flooding. so you know, as you go around the region here today and pay close attention to what meisha got to say, make sure that you're keeping, taking heat of any kind of road closures you see, because flooding is still an active problem. thankfully it's diminishing with time. so that's at least good news. meantime, temperatures are also dmining as we go throughout the day, that warmestth of mid 50's is going to gradually decline and we're stuck with the chill yesterday day by tomorrow. . we saw flooding in new jersey. speaking of jersey, 42 freeway northbound at creek road, looking good. looking busy but looking good. is it so nice to see that sun or what? i know all of you at home are going, my goodness, that is gorgeous, and it is indeed. but
