>> i don't think i can be able to go see him because of the business i have here. i'm going to try to be open. >> reporter: he's not sure how big a crowd to expect or if any foot traffic will come his way that weekend. it's uncertain if he will cash in on mass transit videos to the city with closed roads, no parking rules and parishioners guided on a straight and narrow pilgrimage to the bridge to see the pope. are you nervous about the potential loss of business that weekend? >> it's going to be. but you know, it's only once in life. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: some are considering a different marketing recipe. this man will post signs out front and advertise on facebook and if crowds don't reach him, he will get to them somehow. >> i want to try to have a couple, two, three people doing delivery to them, see if we can try to get there. i know it will be a lot of security around. i'm going to do my best. >> reporter: meantime, from

frustration, restaurants say they have had little communication about what those security zones will actually mean to their bottom line. >> i live in new jersey. they are talking about closing ben franklin bridge. so i'm going to come to work and not fly. >> people are wondering where they will park as cars in security zones will be towed away. >> the source of all that anxiety is this. the new traffic box released yesterday which includes restricted areas where no cars will be allowed and where pedestrians will have to pass through a security fence to get in. this is raising a lot of questions. how much will residents and businesses be inconvenienced and is it necessary. a security expert will break it down in the next half hour. now to your first alert weather. a great day to spend some time at the jersey shore. >> oh, yeah. nbc 10 here in atlantic city. beach goers enjoying a sunny stroll along the boardwalk this afternoon.

it is now 83 in pottstown and west chester. those are generally cooler spots. even allentown and reading, farther to the north and west. 86 is the last check in millville and little bit cooler right at the shore. the reason for that, there's the sea breeze coming in. so lewes, delaware, down to 80. sea isle, 81. atlantic city marina at 78 degrees. most places are several degrees warmer than we were this time yesterday. that trend is going to continue each day up until at least monday. we don't have any kind of rain nearby. there were some showers up in new york state but they are headed more toward maine than toward us. at the shore, it's just going to be a terrific weekend again. this will be the seventh straight pretty good weekend without significant rain at the shore.

you were involved in managing large security details like this very one right here. in your opinion, how does this plan look to you? >> well, as we see the plan today it's much different than what we were initially hearing. we heard a lot of rhetoric, there was a lot of chatter out there. there was no narrative along with what we were seeing. i think this is a pretty intense plan and it seems to cover all the major bases i think we are looking at. >> dr. white, we received this question from a viewer. she asked us what many people are wondering, what is the reason for keeping philadelphia residents captive and hindering businesses to this extent? can you answer that for her and others who have that same question from a security perspective? >> yeah. i think first thing we want to acknowledge is it's really showing people's frustrations. it's a very pejorative question. i think it shows the frustrations of people's anxiety and not really being told the information they really want to know. i think that it's important we don't have to give out the security intelligence information, but i think it's important that people understand

exactly why we are doing the things we are doing. >> give us some perspective from your experience, why do we need this large perimeter? we understand there's that fine line between giving out too much information, but giving out enough so that people understand why what's being done is being done. >> that's an excellent question. i think the boxes, the area we are covering is very significant and it's important that we continue to maintain that more so not necessarily for the pope's security but for rather the people that are coming in. we will have between one and 1.5 million potential friends coming into our city. we will want to try to keep them as safe as we can. these perimeters will do that. by moving the cars out, that's one less threat. by opening those roads and allowing people to move freely around, i think that's a significant safety issue that i think's important. >> dr. scott white, thanks for your perspective this afternoon. people have to have patience. we know that. there's a lot of information to help residents and businesses

the extreme level right now. it does not look like it. we have a bit of a southwest wind bringing the warm air into philadelphia but we've got the sea breeze coming in at the shore, limiting the temperature rise. of course, that's one of the reasons people love going there, because it is cooling down. 79 in cape may harbor while it's well into the 80s farther inland. now this difference is going to be much greater over the weekend as the beaches get cooler and the inland areas get warmer. atlantic city marina, 78 degrees. it will be closer to 90 inland over the next couple of days. you don't see any significant moisture around. the new york state stuff is headed right toward maine or massachusetts, rather than us. and we're not really seeing any moisture that is advancing. so we've got another great forecast at the shore with that 12 straight weekend days in
