you up and start your workweek. >> katie connor is at phoenix sky harbor this morning because delta is having massive issues, also southwest expected to have problems so heads up on that. we will keep you posted as the morning goes on. first let's go ahead and get into your most accurate forecast. this is going to be hot today. one of those days that we will enjoy being here with the ac so hopefully you can stay somewhere like that too. here's a quick look at where we are at currently at phoenix sky harbor. this actually just dropped. i want to say a minute ago because we were just degrees, so now we are at 92, dropping a little bit more before all said and done this morning. your dew points in the 40s, so you will feel it a little bit out there. humidity is not bad. today we are going to continue that dryingout trend and as we look with desertdoppler you see that on here too, our abc15, we are not picking up a whole ton so i promise you that bus stop forecast a few minutes ago. here it is for you right now, 80s this morning as the kids go out to start, i know phoenix

3:00 p.m. -- all green on our valley freeways and that includes out in the east valley. you're looking at an eight minute desert drive time. this is on us-60 as you're traveling westbound here from country club until you hit i-10 so very quiet really anywhere you're headed in the east valley. maybe you're taking the 101 northbound through scottsdale and taking that to the north part of the valley. you continue to see those great no crashes here, that's really holding you up. i-10 in the west you can expect there before you hit the roads in a couple of minutes. a lot to get to here involving breaking news happening this morning and i want to start with a manhunt going on right now in south phoenix for the suspect who shot and killed a convenience store clerk. we broke this story on abc15.com early this morning. justin pazera is on the scene. it's near 16th street and southern, justin, what do our viewers need to know about what police are searching for? >> reporter: yeah, at this point we really don't have a clear description of who the

robbery, but let's set the stage for you here, it happened in the parking lot. one of the clerks of this 7- eleven was outside, that's when that armed robber approached him and forced him inside that 7-eleven right there. from there, he was demanding that clerk to take everything out of that register, all of this was going on while there was yet another clerk inside that store. both of them were forced to do what this guy said at gunpoint. >> the suspect moves victim to a backroom, a stockroom office area, and it's inside this area where the suspect shoots one of the victims, one of the clerks. >> reporter: from there, the other clerk was able to get up, run outside. he was followed by that suspect back out to this parking lot. from there police don't know really where that suspect went. they do believe that he was on foot. they say that he was wearing dark colored clothing. he also had his face covered

so they hope that someone that is in this area, very busy area here at 16th street and southern, they are hoping that somebody that was in the area could help them out. if you know anything, of course call phoenix police. we are live in phoenix, justin pazera, abc15. >> boy, just absolutely terrifying. justin pazera on the scene with the newest information. 5:03 now. and at the live desk right now, a man is recovering after he was beaten and carjacked. this unfolding late last night near 71st avenue and lower buckeye road. if you know the area, it's right by sierra linda high school. three men approached the victim and then took shots at him, beating him up and then stole his vehicle. we are still waiting on a description of the suspects and also the missing car but that's what i have to offer at this very moment, danielle. a family gathering just went terribly wrong. deputies say a man shot a friend, he took off but was then found dead nearby. this happening at a home near buckeye at 195th avenue and

got into some sort of a fight and that's when the suspect shot the victim several times, that victim's condition is still unknown this morning. family members actually took him to the hospital but then deputies found the suspect down the street dead in his car. he's been identified as 48-year- old robert scott either widey -- erobidi. >> there were multiple shots fired, there is only one victim currently being treated. we do have -- we had juveniles at the residence but everybody else is okay. they were not directly involved. >> at this time it's still not clear how the suspect died. four minutes after 5:00. he is accused in a horrible double murder in phoenix, now he's behind bars, this is 37- year-old brandon sutherland. neighbors telling us he's a former marine, now facing two counts of first-degree murder and this spot is where police say he surrendered. this is the scene at a mobile home park near 35th avenue and beardsley.

location. neighbors tell us the victims and the suspect are family members but police have yet to confirm how they may have known each other. danielle. dan, a 9-year-old boy and two women very lucky this morning because they managed to escape a burning home in phoenix that did not have a smoke alarm. the fire started at this home near 14th street and mckinley. one of the women in the house smelled smoke and quickly got the other two out. that little boy did have to go to the hospital but was not seriously hurt. the family's dog survived but, dl investigators still trying to figure out how this one started. arizona politicians and donald trump really having a tough time playing nice this year. trump will not endorse mccain when he does. governor doug ducey taking plenty of time before finally backing the g.o.p. nominee and now senator jeff flake making it clear he does not think that trump can win the election. >> i have yet to see donald

to change and particularly change the tone and tenor of the debate sufficient to win the election in november. >> flake says he hopes vice presidential candidate mike pence has a positive influence on trump. starting today, the food and drug administration will begin regulating not only cigarettes and chewing tobacco but e-cigarettes as well, cigars, hookah, tobacco, pipes and nicotine gels. that includes reviewing the ingredients used in those products, how they are made, potential health ris claims made by manufacturers, again, just a bit of a change to these regulations going on this morning with the fda. well, this morning 10-year- old jesse wilson, you know, he is supposed to be enjoying his first day of school but instead the search continues for the missing buckeye boy. he disappeared three weeks ago now. there is an empty desk that is still in front of the school reminding students today their classmate is still gone. we cannot say this enough. if you have any information on where jesse wilson may be,

the number, we have got it right there on the bottom of your screen. danielle, there is an air traffic mess happening right now. if you or someone you know is flying out of sky harbor, you are going to want to hear this next story. two potentially major problems. one of them significant, happening right now that travelers may run into as they try and get out of town. abc15's katie connor joining us from the ninth busiest airport at sky harbor. >> reporter: we are terminal 3 where there is a widespread outage here at delta. you can see the line already backing up here. this line has been here since around 4:30 this morning. right now all flights going out of sky harbor cancelled. that's because of this power outage in atlanta that took down delta's computer system, then operations worldwide. now, there are widespread cancellations, more than 10,000, just to put this into perspective for you, this outage is so bad that flight status system, including

showing flights on time. passengers we have talked to, as you can imagine, upset. >> we got to get back and not having answers is, you know, that's not the expectation you have when you fly with a major carrier, especials when -- especially when there are tons of flights going on, in atlanta, their hub, they should have this handled. >> reporter: now, if your flight is cancelled or significantly delayed, you are entitled to a refund but this isn't the only big hiccup that's going on here at harbor. starting at 7:00 this morning, chris, there is a southwest employee strike -- or not strike, excuse me. a protest going on outside of terminal 4. that's not expected to delay any flights but, of course, that can change very quickly and, of course, we will monitor that for you as well. chris. >> and katie, as you're sitting there with the people behind you, i just read seconds ago that even the rebooking system is down at this point. so it's going to be a long wait for these passengers. >> reporter: nightmare. >> katie connor live at sky harbor.

5:08. and all across the valley, people are getting checks in the mail, maybe you're one of them. how do you know if they are real? coming up joe lets you know an easy way to spot the fakes. a brush fire turned wildfire causing some big concerns and we've got new details this morning on this wildfire burning to our west in california. a big concern for us today is the uv index for us. we have a uv alert in place for the highest category you can

happy monday to those of you out there and those starting school, here's a look at where we are going to get to today, 109 degrees. we talked about the uv alert a second

moderate category for ozone, no other weather alert and no storm chances to tell you about. here's how the temperatures are going to break down today hour by hour, 96 degrees already by 10:00 a.m., by lunchtime, 101 degrees, above the triple digits by then, very hot for us here as we get into the afternoon too. coming up we are going to track futurecast together because we have some big changes coming, we are going to go over rain chances as well so you don't want to miss that. for folks starting outi in the west valley right now, desert drive time of 10 minutes on loop 101 southbound. even once you're on i-10 in the west valley, you're still delay-free, you can see that green there. a live look on i-10 in the east valley from our adot camera. it's right at us-60, you can see off on the right-hand side some flashing lights, could be a minor crash or some sort of traffic stop but this is in the eastbound direction not blocking traffic and as you can see both directions moving pretty nicely. we will give you a look at i-17

a memorial growing outside of the home where a 3-year-old was killed. more details coming up from mcso at 5:30. and brand-new information into the live desk as a hospital is apparently targeted by terrorists. we will take you to the scene and the newest information next. in this morning's gma first look, authorities investigating what went tragically wrong at this popular kansas city water park. >> our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. >> abc news learning the 10- year-old son of kansas state representative scott schwab died while riding what's known as the tallest water slide in the world here at the schlitterbahn water park. >> still brought tears to my eyes that someone else lost their child. that's my child's age that i'm sure they felt was safe. >> before the ride opened two years ago many raised questions about its safety especially after watching these early safety tests showing sandbag

the ride's opening delayed at least three times while the park reworked it, adding seat belts and safety netting. and we will have more details on the investigation coming up at 7:00 a.m. with your gma first look, i'm alex perez, abc news, kansas

right now the death toll continues to rise after a hospital bombing in pakistan. the newest information is that 63 people, at least 63 have died. look at the people running through the halls of the hospital. unreal. panic here after this suicide bombing attack. it was a terror attack, 92 other people were injured. so far nobody has claimed responsibility but, dan, you would think a hospital would be a safe place. this is getting out of hand. >> no kidding, chris. we are going to be watching that story. let's move onto a different topic with the irs. something to prove today, a

the agency must show that it is not targeting conservative groups applying for tax exempt status. the court reinstated a lawsuit against the troubled agency after finding the irs had committed unconstitutional acts by creating bolo, or be on the lookout lists. the irs has not issued a statement since that ruling. more changes coming for disney after an alligator killed a toddler earlier this summer. we have learned that workers are now building a stone wall seas lagoon. there are several resorts along that stretch there, so pretty popular area. disney officials telling the orlando sentinel about the wall yesterday as part of their new security plan. of course they have been making these changes since the death of 2-year-old lane graves from nebraska. he died back in june. a street floods in rochester, new york. not from rain either. this was from a water main break. crews stopped that water from flowing and they discovered

sinkhole. the hole could have fit two cars in side by side. that roadwork will take a while to fix that gaping hole there too, danielle. eight dolphins got much needed help from this group of fine folks out here. they got stuck off the coast of massachusetts. the international fun for animal welfare found those dolphins struggling to get back into deeper water so they rescued them and took them to an area where they could be released once again. if there was a course it would be called criminality 101. you never return to the scene of a a few guys in north carolina never took that course because they went back to the house that they are accused of robbing. police were there too. the home run came back to find five men inside the house. the burglars didn't notice him so he called 911. two were caught and when the other three returned to finish the job, they too were put in cuffs.

here. i don't look forward to getting my mail anymore. bills or ads, that's it. but a lot of you are getting mail that seems much more interesting. like brenda, i have done mystery shopper programs in the past, i received an e-mail to participate in one. this employer followed it up with a letter and sent brenda this check for $1985. and another viewer, i received this check in the mail for a car i'm selling, the amount is $2500, it's likely more than the purchase price. i'm trying to find out if it's a scam and if this check is real both checks have business names, come from legitimate banks and both are completely fake. no exaggeration. i get one of these complaints on average every single day. you deposit the check, you're asked to send or wire money somewhere else, the check is bad three days later, your money is gone. any large check for work you haven't done, a contest you haven't entered or overpayment for something you're selling is fake. so that's large checks. t.j. writes about a small check, just checking to see if he thought this was a scam. i didn't want to cash it and

this one is for about $26. it's a supposed settlement with the federal trade commission. turns out this check is real for a settlement involving weight loss claims and green coffee bean extract. but t.j. it's a great question, even with small amount checks from sources you don't know, i would do research before putting that in the bank. i'm investigator joe ducey. have a great day. you got a problem, let me know. >> thanks, joe. you know we will. hundreds rushed to evacuate when fast growing wildfire kicks up in california. >> yeah, the pilot fire, this actually started as a 30-acre brush fire but it's now quickly spread to 1500 acres. evacuations were issued yesterday afternoon in the summit valley area that's in san bernardino county. more than 350 firefighters are battling this wildfire and it is still not clear how this even started. >> they cannot catch a break in the golden state, right, for california. run season already. an update on the soberanes

contained, more than 5000 crew members still battling the flames there, 57 homes have been destroyed. let's turn our attention to your most accurate forecast on this monday morning here. we are in for some big changes this week. good morning to you if you're just joining us here. here's a look at futurecast. i'm going to press play on it and we will track together what's going to be happening. for us today here in the valley, we are going to be staying pretty dry. that doesn't mean the whole state is. you see we have chances for isolated showers out to the well, that will start to clear out overnight. we will keep some chances out there to the east but for us in the valley we are not going to be dealing with anything like that. now, tomorrow that's when things sort of start to kick off but a slow start, we will start to see a little bit of moisture move in by your morning commute. we are going to keep rain chances pretty low, though, tomorrow, slight for us there. because we are looking out for pockets like this here. we will still keep those rain chances up to the north and then look as we continue to take this on in through the rest of the evening, you still

in here, so that's going to kick up our rain chances pretty good, at least on wednesday and thursday, so we are going to be looking out for those days to be some of the highest days that we have those rain chances. meantime, i want to show you what this is going to do to our temperatures. today well above average because we are staying dry, right? we are kind of under this hot air right now. 109 degrees, 105 is average. we start to drop by tomorrow and then we are dropping even more so on wednesday. 95 degrees, you might think that would be nice, right? but not so much in the 70s, so it is going to feel very muggy and sticky out there. as a matter of fact, we are calling it the highest category oppressive. by wednesday through thursday because of this system. now, coming up in just a few minutes we are going go over the bigett hazards that we will see from these upcoming changes. your freeways are still pretty quiet as far as any delays or anything like that. take a look at the big map here, you're seeing all green but i do want to give you a heads up that in scottsdale we have a stalled vehicle right now on loop 101. it's on the northbound side of

mountainview road, a little bit north of the inlet is where you're going to see this and it is blocking the right lane so make sure you stay to the left to get by that but traffic is still light in the area that i'm not seeing any huge slowing because of that. i do want to hop over and give you a look at i-17, maybe you're thanking this southbound this morning heading into town right now, eight minute desert drive times, southbound from dunlap off to democratic dowel -- to mcdowell. a closer look at your east valley drive in a 5:22. we are used to seeing perhaps woody allen's projects up on the big screen but there is a new small screen project that has an interesting supporting cast. and coming up at 5:30, if you are heading down south this morning, there's a road closure you really need to know about. investigators right now on scene of a deadly crash. plus the line is growing

action packed films led the way at the box office this weekend but let's start with the comedy starring all the ladies. "bad moms" taking the third spot during its second weekend in theaters and then jason bourn landed in second place with an estimated 22.7 million. but it was the economic based

with a star studded cast taking the top spot, "suicide squad" killed the competition with an estimated $135 million setting the record for the biggest august debut. we now know when woody allen's series will debut on amazon and what it will be called. amazon announcing crises in six scenes will debut august 30th. it stars miley cyrus, alain may and woody allen himself. it is work. let's look at your forecast planner for today. warm start to the day. by lunchtime, look at that, 101 degrees, already very warm by then. in the afternoon we are getting straight up hot. coming up we will break down the temps hour by hour plus tell you about big changes coming this week. east valley drivers do great on us-60 at mesa drive, we have a couple of snags in the east valley so i will map that out for you next. also ahead, a growing memorial in a northwest valley

answers in the violent death of a toddler. two breaking stories we are following at this very moment. the first one a clerk is shot and killed during the robbery in south phoenix. that's brand-new, it happened this morning. the other story happening, phoenix police officers opened fire during a fight.

thousands of flights cancelled and the line is

first where we are going to be hotter than this weekend. i want to pull up our mayo valley camera here because i thought that's a beautiful shot before the sun comes up. i thought that was really nice there, a few clouds in the sky. we are going to keep things mostly clear for us today. 92 degrees, very mild and warm start to the day. by 9:00 a.m. we continued that warming trend when we are at 94 degrees, here's a quick snapshot of your commuter forecast as you head out today, you will need that ac and even more so later on going home. look at this, our temps will about 106 to 109 across the valley. we are dealing with extreme uv as well. coming up i'm going to show you how the rest of the week is stacking up. more on the changes too. allison, as far as your commute goes it's quiet. i pulled up this adot camera in the east valley. a stall on us-60 so this is as you're traveling westbound at country club. even though it's not blocking traffic it's getting a little bit heavier out there so you might want to slide to the right, give them extra place but not blocking traffic this morning in the east valley.

at our traffic map right now. we can show you some of the delays you could see but you're not seeing -- our east valley not seeing any delays of really from that stall again at country club and really taking a look at the big picture, the rest of the valley looks exact same. we don't have any crashes. we have a stall in scottsdale on the 101. give you a look at that next. now to the breaking news at 5:30 that we told you about this morning on abc15.com. it's about that deadly armed robbery, a convenience. the shooter on the run at this very moment. justin pazera is on the scene with what we need to know what happened at 16th street and southern. justin. >> reporter: getting a better look at the scene this morning. it all started at this parking lot here at the 7-eleven. that's where one of the clerks was out here in this parking lot when that armed robber came face to face with him. he forced that one clerk inside that 7-eleven. that's where he was ordering him to take all of the cash out

gunpoint. there was another clerk inside of this 7-eleven when all of this was going on. that armed robber forced both of them in a backroom. they were laying on the ground at gunpoint. now, it's not clear exactly what happened at this point, but for some reason that suspect shot one of the clerks, killing him. his body is still inside that store. now, that other clerk was able to jump up, run outside, that suspect following right behind him. now, we really don't have a suspect at this point. we know he was wearing dark clothes. he had on red gloves and he had a mask that was covering his face. now, in the last few minutes we have seen detectives here. they are inside that store taking a lot of photos around that cash register. we can see them in the backroom taking photos also. phoenix police urging everyone, this is a very busy area, possibly you saw something, if you think you saw something out of the ordinary, of course call

pazera, abc15. >> justin with the newest information on that scene. we appreciate the update there. let's move from that breaking to another breaking news story happening at the live desk and you should expect to see a large crime scene, a police presence near third street and mcdowell as you head out this morning. phoenix police officers opened fire on a suspect at this location. it happened just around 11:00 last night. one person was shot and taken to the hospital. no officers were injured. more details coming out on this one in just a few minutes, dan. 5:34. and developing right now, we are working to get an a homicide investigation. the victim we know a 3-year- old. abc15's nick ciletti now live in youngtown with some more information. nick, what are you hearing out there this morning? >> reporter: we spoke with neighbors and they are telling us that they are hearing the suspect in this case is another child that lives inside the home. now, i want to show you here behind me, you can see this memorial out here with the teddy bear and candles and some toys. it continues to grow as this neighborhood tries to make

you what we are finding out this morning. we are hearing from mcso that they were called out to this home off of 111th avenue and olive. neighbors tell us they saw children running down the street. they were banging on doors and screaming for help at the time. now, one neighbor told us she saw the victim's older sister, she was bleeding, she was pale and she looked like she had been through something absolutely horrifying. >> t mother and a grandmother, i can tell you that my heart was absolutely, you know, that the mother, of course, who had no idea what had happened was going to be showing up and finding out the news and i don't think anybody should have to go through something like that. it was -- >> reporter: meantime, we are learning that sheriff joe arpaio is going to be speaking about what happened, hopefully shedding some light on exactly what the case was and hopefully giving us some answers on just heart breaking tragedy out here in the west valley this morning.

your kids outside and play and then something like this happened, terribly tragic. thank you for that update. danielle. this just into the newsroom, dan, we have learned state route 347 is back open after a deadly crash last night. this is the picture we got from dps overnight. they tell us the southbound vehicle crossed over into the northbound lanes, side swiped another car, then collided head on with the third car and then a fourth one rear-ended that crash. the driver who crossed the lane died, another person was injured. 5:36. unfolding at airports across the world at this very second, including right here in our own back yard, sky harbor. this is something else. one of the world's largest airlines is grounding all flights. delta, maybe it stands for doesn't ever leave the airport, and katie connor is live inside terminal 3 with more on this one. katie, the lines are getting longer. >> reporter: that's right, we are at the very end, chris, and as you can see it is wrapping

the ticket counter. now we know that all flights right now are cancelled with delta. we have been told that there was a power outage in atlanta that actually took the system down and it has caused those flight delays worldwide. it's kind of like being locked out of your computer lock-in when you forget your password. this outage so bad, flight status systems like the one here in sky harbor cannot actually show that all the flights have been cancelled or delayed. that's why if you check them at home on your smartphone, it will say it's actually on time. right now delta says you are cancelled or significantly delayed, you can actually call this 1-800-number and they will rebook your flight for free. this is what they are handing out to all the passengers today. the best piece of advice, call this number if you have a flight with delta today. but the cancellations even when they get up and running, that system will still be widespread delays throughout the day. chris. >> it's a mess in atlanta, their hub right now, so no flights are taking off from

all day long it's going to happen. katie connor live at sky harbor for us. >> the bait and switch too. you don't know that something is going wrong so hopefully you're watching us throughout the morning. one month back at home and now an unexpected legal twist sends a guy back to jail, this exclusive video of the day that tyler kost was released on bond. he spent three years behind bars for sex crime involving minors. he was relieved on electronic surveillance whale awaiting his parents told abc15 that kost was asked to return back to jail. kost has a hearing on august 22nd. we have reached out to his attorneys for more information. when we get it, we will pass it along to you. breaking overnight from the live desk here, an abandoned hotel catches fire in phoenix. we were there at the sterling hotel, that's going to be near 24th street and washington. crews were quickly on the scene of this one, they got that fire under control pretty quickly here. thing is, with it being

investigation underway at this hour, no injuries, danielle. 5:39 and students and staff at create academy, they are finally going to get the school year started. the start date was pushed back because of all this flooding that happened. that school is near 24th street and thomas. crews are busy cleaning up the mess from this past week's storms. classes are set to begin at 8:30 a.m. also going back to class this morning, phoenix union high school district new this year the phoenix coding academy gusty winds with class focusing on computer programming and coding. fantastic, isn't it? it will integrate technology directly into the curriculum there. this is the first high school of its kind in the entire country. i've always thought what if i would have had a class like that, allison, back in the day. >> who knows what you could have been, dan. i think you're doing pretty good for yourself. the forecast this morning, it's going to be a toasty day there, i know dan mentioned a lot of the kids are going back to school now.

pack water for them. a uv alert in place going on. i want to put that around lunchtime because that's typically when the sun is going to be the strongest. by 4:00 p.m., hot, 109 degrees. look at your humidity and your dew points here, so today pretty dry, we will be in the upper 40s but that continues to go up. so by wednesday and thursday, you are for sure going to feel it. it is going to be muggy, oppressive out there and our temperatures are going to drop, so it kind -- it's kind of a trade-off here because as those temperatures go down, the humidity and dew points go u out there. a quick look at this, your storm chances are coming back, we have some heavy rain possible. coming up we will track that together with futurecast, they will tell you the best time when you are going to need that umbrella. taking a look at the roads right now, i do want to give you a heads up that we have a new crash out in the i-10 in the west valley. litchfield road near i-10, not a huge traffic impact but you could see this trying to hop off and off the freeway this morning so a heads up there.

minutes here, this is northbound on the 101, it's going to take you from loop 202 to shea but a heads up, we still have that stall that's blocking the right lane, right near about villa linda -- via linda or so. i-17 at the i-10 stack, give you a look at some of the delays you could see in a couple of minutes. sticking with the roads right now, maybe you're looking to save cash right now, aren't we all? you will see gas prices are down again and our state is back to being among the cheapest across the nation so average for regular unleaded is $2.12 nationally. arizona is down 5 cents in a week, down to about $2.07. if your commute takes you near 51st avenue you have to fill up because gas prices are as low as $1.76 a gallon, dan. powerful winds, drenching rains, mother nature turning deadly as a landslide hits eastern mexico and rescue operations are upped way right now -- underway right now. and you can hold onto the cell phone as tight as you want
