han is here. she's in for matt. let's go to karen rogers taking a look at accuweather and matt pelman will give us the latest on the traffic. good morning to both of you. >> as you're standing in that backup there on the schuylkill you're dealing with the wet roads, the ponding, the flooding and that's wyoming we have a flood advisory for areas you see highlighted in green. this is only until 7:45 in the morning but we had rain moving through and it's become steady enough that we're seeing ponding on the roadway and that's enough to cause flooding in poor drainage area. we really need the rain. we're not talking about river flooding. we're talking about areas that aren't draining well. the rain is coming down steadily in those spots. storm tracker6 double scan shows that the heaviest rain, this is the area of yellow is already leaving the city of philadelphia. we see it lifting out to the east-northeast at this point. in its wake we're seeing these spotty showers. it is a wet morning commute but looks like that heaviest of rain already lifting through. let's take a wider look at storm tracker6 live double scan. we're not exactly done with this system yet.

throughout the day today we have the chance to see these showers and especially later on the chance for a thunderstorm coming through as well and it could be a gusty thunderstorm at that. satellite6 and action radar kind of showing this in motion how it moved in just as we had expected in the overnight hours with the timing being for the wet early start to your day at this point. so some showers and thunderstorms popping through especially later on this afternoon. 71 degrees right now in philadelphia, 70 in allentown, 70 degrees currently in millville. the dewpoint way up there. 68. feeling very humid. today our temperature will just top off at 82 degrees. we're watching for these showers and thunderstorms not raining constantly matt but enough early on that people are going to be driving with these wet roads or as you see standing still in the wet roads. >> exactly. it's not just raining, it's pouring out there this afternoon. i think i'm still a little wet when i came in spite my umbrella karen rogers and yes, we are standing still not getting anywhere at this point on the westbound side of the schuylkill expressway. i 76.

areas of the yellow and that's when you get the heavier rain i want to go in closer to that right now because if you're out there driving along route 130 in burlington county you know you're getting hit by this and you've got that flooding on the roadway. that's why we have the flood advisory posted for the poor drainage areas many. jenkintown getting hit very hard. we see a little bit of yell indicating how strongly it's coming down. right here on the white horse pike you're just on the back edge of it. it's about to lift through route 70 right now if you're traveling through medford lakes. hammonton you're just in the tail end of the area of yellow. in the green it's still raining but not quite as heavily. as we look towards the west we can see what's coming up next and for awhile it looks like the heaviest rain is already pushing through the city. beyond that we have some showers here or there and it's not going to be quite as bad. take a wider look once again to get the sense of that. you certainly can see up nearly a town you've got areas of yellow about to hit you, near lancaster more areas that will be heading towards reading but certainly that steady rain is already pushing

morning, some thunderstorms later in the day. so, at 1 o'clock we start to see some of these cells develop to the west. at 3:30 a little enhanced and we could see some gust city storms with this. look what happens as these storms leave the area at 8 o'clock at night. you can see some of them could be pretty strong. so we're watching for this most especially in the morning and later on in the afternoon. not raining constantly all day but just a chance for these showers and thunderstorms holding the temperature down to 70. the thunderstorms move out early tonight and then mostly cloudy skies. and what we are watching for is later on in the afternoon especially these storms will just be scattered later on instead of steady but lightning, downpours, pocket with that and the concern here is that we could see some strong winds that could be an issue. here's a look at your exclusive accuweather 7-day. showers and thunderstorms, 82 in the morning, again in the afternoon. tomorrow clouds and sunshine, just a chance for a storm and 85. and then we look on thursday, we have partly sunny skies, a beautiful day and 85. it turns warmer on friday, 89. and a real summer weekend
