only. now the delay that lies behind this is continuing to grow, right now, this delay is stemming back toward belmont avenue and because it is only 7:00 and rush will be setting in heavily this will only continue to grow. city avenue delay is going to affect city avenue itself or schuylkill at city avenue delay. but just plan a correspondencingly to have have some major traffic this morning, starting your day. kelly drive, martin luther king drive will be best alternate. heading out of northeast philadelphia, you could take roosevelt boulevard and maneuver your way there. take broad street all the way down or take i-95. with that said i-95 we are seeing major delays stemming out of the northeast down through vine street expressway. we have a pothole southbound right around cottman avenue which is causing a mess. if you had are a truck drive you cannot use drives so blue route to 95 is an alternate and this accident ace affecting a few septa bus routes as well. we were just talking earlier

the accident happened when it was light liz raining and that is when folks just should not under estimate the the weather. >> you almost get caught off guard when that kind of thing happens. you are right. as you have been saying and my advice would be the same just be smart about this. even though what you will see when we bout out to storm scan three is radar is emptying out and we are clearing out with the crowd cover just retreating here you cannot take this necessarily at face value. rain is done we're fine. it is not a snap of the fingers. we have aftermath issues here, clogged drains and leaves that fell off the trees. we do still have flood add advisory for lehigh valley, eastern edge of berks county. they took out western batch of advisory for you who are in berks county but then up to the poconos. so is there still some poor drainage flooding, small stream flood ago this kind of thing and those fallen leaves are blocking up storm drains. it is so hard to give yourself extra time when you walk out the door.

we get. that you just need to get your day started. this is a situation where you'll get slowed down. sometimes just being mentally prepared can be the best advice. the as we walk outside the door here at least rain is winding down and thankfully later on we should expect to see sunshine peeking through as well, back over to you. >> good morning, in the news, a second dallas nurse who contracted ebola from a patient is waking up in an atlanta area hospital this morning. doctors are treating amber vincent inside emery university hospital's infectious disease unit this video is of a medic escorting her into the hospital last night. that is her in the yellow hazmat suit. this morning cdc is under scrutiny forgiving vinson permission to take a commercial flight from cleveland to dallas one day before she was hospitalized for ebola symptoms. agency said they allowed her to fly because she didn't meet criteria for someone at high risk. meanwhile president obama has canceled another travel day to

regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.

before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com. mmmmm. ring ring! ring ring! progresso. you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well, vegetables... shhhhh! ...taste better in our savory broth. vegetables!? no, soup! oh, soup! loaded with vegetables. packed with taste. and now try new progresso chili. slow-simmered, homemade taste.

a massive storm for what bermuda can handle at this point. notice bermuda is about 22 miles across, and that is about as big as the eye is of this storm. so this is just a huge, huge, system and it is expected to at least come really close if not pass directly over bermuda in the days ahead. lets track it, as a category four. a major hurricane. it does look liken though it loses some strength it will still be a major hurricane by the time it goes over bermuda or passes and makes closest path to it where it will be happening into friday. we have got another storm to talk about, anna in the central pacific, why? because this is a storm that might actually bring more heavy rain and we think it will, to hawaii. so, very rare to see, several systems, roll over the hawaii island and the reason it is named anna in the beginning of the the list because it formed in the central pacific as

opposed to eastern pacific where we find the named storms that would maybe affect hawaii. in the meantime, back here to our local forecast lower 07's expect next few days but few things to talk b skies are gradually clearing with time and expect at least a little sun. i cannot rule out a stray shower west of philadelphia but overall things are getting better and friday and saturday look very nice indeed, vittoria, over to you. we need something to look forward to especially if you are trying to or planning to travel on the schuylkill expressway. we are still talking about this eastbound accident on 76 making your way approaching girard avenue from montgomery drive. you will notice we have this accident still out there on the shoulder, right-hand lane and compromising center lane as well where only left lane gets by. overturn fatal accident on the eastbound side of 76. we have a westbound gaper delay still an investigation on the scene and then here's the eastbound delay that lies behind that accident as you make your way right around area have belmont.
