back out here no earlier than thursday to reinspect this mess. hard to believe the department does not consider raw sewage sitting on the crosswalk reason enough to expedite things and get the water shut off prior to that date. in cobbs creek i'm bruce gordon fox 29 news. >> all right. bruce, thank you. book your fox 29 winter wet authority now. mild out there but you saw bruce with that umbrella. >> raining everywhere right now. look at that big green blob behind you scott. >> we have several hours of this mess to get through but thankfully we're in the looking at wintry precipitation much ultimate doppler is lit up with the green. you can see the disturbance moving through the ohio river valley and all of this moisture is moving from west to east. so watch out on the roadways out there. ponding and also puddles potholes just making for a bad combination on the roads. we'll see some gradual clearing tomorrow after fog so that is going to be the concern after the rain ends early early tomorrow morning and then p.m. sunshine for tomorrow. and temperatures topping out at

60 degrees or better the warmest yet on tap. but right now north and west, norristown doylestown moving toward sections of allentown looking at that moderate rain as we move into south jersey you can see more of the same. so a good soaking area wide to be had over the next several hours as that rain and system moves through. so as we watch the clock by 8:00 p.m. you can see we're still looking at those showers. nine, 10:00 o'clock tonight moderate to heavy rain the darker green and also that yellow indicating where we'll see some moderate to heavy rain move through overnight. and then once again gradual clearing but we're looking at a lot of clouds and fog to start on your wednesday morning. so as we roll the clock you can see additional rain a half an inch to three quarters of an inch in philadelphia. so that will be about the average. temperatures root now rain cooled into the low 50s after a high temperature today believe it or not of 59 degrees. so we saw some early sunshine, the rain started a little later than expected in some locations and right now as we take a look

at that visibility we are down to zero in lancaster. 1.5 files in philadelphia as well as wilmington and these numbers will continue to drop into the overnight and tomorrow morning likely around zero in many locations. so look at the temperatures right now. 51 philadelphia. upper 40s atlantic city. 40 degrees right now in reading. but once that rain and fog move out, we're looking at temperatures soaring tomorrow with that pattern change that will move temperatures up into the low 60s. so once again we're looking that rainfall tonight. gradual clearing tomorrow. it's going to be cloudy to start. 62 for the high temperature. thursday cooler by 10 degrees. but sunny and we'll take that and then moving toward friday upper 40s for high temperatures. cloud cover increases and then overnight friday into saturday, we're looking at some rainfall moving in. it could stick around much of the day saturday. and then temperatures monday, tuesday next wee week above average by a few degrees in the mid 50s.

♪ that eagles coach chip kelly he is just a mad scientist. chip did nor work on his fantasy football team today. he traded his starting quarterback nick foles to the st. louis rams for their start starting quarterback eagles got the 20,101st overall pick in the draft that would be sam bradford. that year bradford won the rookie of the year award with the rams. one of the eagles coaches nose bradford well. that would be pat shurmer who was the offensive coordinator with the rams when bradford came in the league. i would think he had some input on the info for chip. there are conflicting reports but no eagles did not they did not nip first round picks with the rams as the nfl network reported. there may be a conditional pick coming to the eagles.

now running back frank gore remember him did change his mind officially today. he signed a three-year deal with the indianapolis colts for almost the same money the eagles deal were have been here in philadelphia. and not good news for cliff lee. all right. it's confirmed that cliff lee has a torn tend in his left elbow. he will not have surgery because that would be probably end the season and his career. and had try to pitch through it. but he said he won't pitch if he's in pain. i would say sometime this season maybe the end of cliff lee's career. >> we're not terribly optimistic but there's still a possibility that he can come back and throw and throw with, you know, a minimal amount of diss comfort but, um, you know, we've trieded to this, you know, rehab him non surly twice now. >> you know here's where the phillies made the mistake. >> yeah g not trading him last year. you goat a certain number of pitchers just like a running back they do in football you got move on and now they wanted to trade him when he got healthy. now you won't be able to trade

him all year. forget about any prospects for cliff lee. cole hamels they better not wait. ruben this is night advice to you. don't wait too long because if he gets hurt, that is your best chip in your really in trouble. remember he was a little injured the beginning of last spring training. the eagles -- >> speaking of chip. >> just -- i wanted to get the phillies out of the way. the eagles it's crazy. it's just absolutely insane. but i do like sam bradford he's coming off an injury. if i had to take bradford or foles, i would take bradford. again, i'm comfortable that chip leaned on i'm sure, i don't know this for fact, lean on his offensive coordinator pat shurmer who nim st. louis. >> they're in the done yet. >> they better not be. >> i'm sure probably news at 10:00. tune in tonight for fox 29 news at 10:00. the food you have in your fridge right now could be money down the drain. certain foods go bad in the fridge fast much the changes you need to make when you get home from the grocery store to save
