david was proud to be an american soldier. and i know i'm prejudiced because he was my son, but i don't think he had a mean bone in his body. there is not a day that i don't think about david. when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage. "she was standing there, she had nothing to say..." if donald trump cannot respect a gold star family, then why would anyone in america think he would respect them. votevets is responsible for the content of this advertising.

good morning, very happy friday to you, we are looking ahead to pretty nice end to the work week overall, but a cold front scheduled to cross through this weekend, and that's going to produce next rounds of potentially stronger thunderstorms, specific to sunday night, but the atmosphere will be moistening up in the meantime, so here go on storm scan. any showers we had overnight have long as since departed the coast. may still be a very isolated left-over shower, or sprinkle, in portions of new jersey, but

over really looking ahead to some sunshine, especially the further inland you are. but that said, in the the humidity starts to go back up, little bit after up tick with every passing day into sunday, then it just bottoms out by monday. so, that's how there is a change waiting in the wings, right, comes in the form again of the cold front passage, so while there could be spotty shower or thunderstorm tomorrow, i think tomorrow looks like great day to be outside, keep your ears perked in a couple of spots, by sunday, though, more heavy showers, thunderstorms again, most specifically sunday night, what it look like for the timing, so if you do have outdoor plans, i think you can generally get them in. next week, meisha? >> i saw that is correct you never want to bounce over the weekend, but looking ahead to monday and tuesday. >> oh, that's the good stuff. >> certainly is. thanks, katie. good morning, everybody, looking outside, this is where we have an accident this morning, guys, boulevard northbound closed or close to henry avenue here. one right lane is compromised, you can clearly see that, as drivers are maneuvering by,

just fine right now, but if this doesn't get cleared out of the way sometime shortly it will absolutely start to slow us down. now, near to this camera we've got construction boulevard northbound at wissahickon, two right lanes are closed there. so just heads up on that. disable vehicle, see if it is still there, yes, it is 309 southbound approaching the turnpike, still there, also construction 95 northbound to girard, closed until right around 5:00 a.m. so about five to ten minute or so, hopefully this will be clearing up for you those take that road or headed out the room sometimes soon. more serious accident, 2:00 a.m. glasco, delaware, take a look at this, involving tractor-trailer and vehicle, few people transported to the hospital. route 896 southbound close the right now at route 40. you will have to take alternate. probably best bet right now will be route 72, and also, some construction delaware 495 southbound between terminal avenue and dupont highway. two right lanes block until 6:00 a.m. >> thank you, meisha a new class of athletes is sharpening their skills for new league coming to fill. >> i this is a league we've never heard of before. urban axes gave "eyewitness
