6:43 am
pthey're perfect right now. p40s, some spots 50s. pby the end of the week, though, pthey'll be flirting with 70 and pthat means that the humidity is pgoing to start to slide back. pto in general, just warmer the pnext few days. pwe're watching the next weather pmaker, this front come in. pthe problem is with this front, pit's going to hang around for a pfew days and because of that, pany little piece of energy or pweak disturbance that's along pthis front this weekend pincreases our chance for pshowers. pthe latest computer models are pgoing to keep it weakened, punsettled. pit will shower for a couple of phours, then be dry for a couple pof hours. pit's a mostly cloudy weekend pwith a good chance of showers pand then warm and muggy. pnot the nicest easter weekend

6:45 am
pcalling extensive debris so we pcan see what it is. pit looks like lots of mulch or plawn debris of sorts and you phave crews out here trying to pshovel it all up. pwe're hearing from our chopper pthat this is actually what pcaused the crash which there's pactually a separate scene pblocking a right lane a little pbit further down. pso you can see the delays are pbuilding. psecond chopper in the area pshowing how far backed up it is. pwe're seeing delays of about pfive to six minutes at this oint so at this point, no other palternates are jumping out as pbeing quicker but perhaps leave pa bit earlier if you have to phead that way. pkeep an eye on it and we'll let pyou know if that changes as far pas the ultimate situation. pas i mentioned before, five to psix minutes heading out doort -- pout the door. pbelcher. pvanessa. p>>vanessa: hello. p>>charley: according to my app,
