And we are off to a pretty comfortable start with a little bit of a cool breeze here on the terrace. It does look like were going get some early sunshine and thats despite the fact that we still have a big storm right off the coast. Tropical storm jose, it is no longer a hurricane but it is still rotating off the coast as expected. Dishing some cloud bands in today, maybe a little brief sprinkle or shower, most of the current stuff is drifting off to the west of the region. And still causing some issues at the shore. Now, the winds from this storm are down. The latest gusts we have is in beach haven and its only 12 Miles Per Hour. So, obviously winds not as much of an issue but we still have problems in the water. Five to 7foot breakers on the beach will continue issues with rip currents and heavy surf and we also have a coastal Flood Warning until 2 oclock this afternoon. The big ticket time period would be between 8 oclock and 9 oclock. Thats high tide. Moderate flooding is possible this morning.

Phils play tonight at 7 05 and our construction on the boulevard northbound has cleared. We still have the construction here in south philadelphia. Looking outside live this is the schuylkill expressway at passyunk and we can see crews out there blocking the right lane so just one lane getting by eastbound on the schuylkill as you head towards broad street pretty light volume so this one is not causing a delay yet. But here on the turnpike southbound past exit eight, if youre up in east windsor, mercer county, youve got to watch for speeds of 18 miles an hour on the turnpike. Thats a big problem here. The two right lanes are blocked with an accident, matt and tam. Thank you, karen.
