east over the next couple hours. let's get you outside and we will take a look at sky 6 and we are down the shore and it looks kind of gray down the shore cape may, new jersey, hm, and kind of cloudy everywhere across the region. temperature right now is 70 degrees. the dewpoint is up there at 66. we do have some fog around that may be putting some drizzle on your windshield here and there. winds are out of the east at 8 miles per hour. satellite and radar showing up on future tracker 6 right now and as we go from now until noon, again those showers may start to push in later in the day. as we getd into midday hours doesn't look like a lot going on. rest of the afternoon clouds, sunny breaks and the slight chance of a pop-up shower or maybe a thunderstorm here or there. i think there's less of a chance for that today than it was the last couple of days though. 68 degrees by 8 o'clock, 72 by 11:00 and then we spend the afternoon in the mid 70's with a high of 77 probably around 3 o'clock this afternoon. clouds with some sunny breaks overall. and as we take a look at high

temperatures across the region, up in allentown, 74, 75 in reading. not too much different, maybe a couple of degrees warmer in the i-95 corridor and down the shore today unfortunately you're stuck closer to the 70-degree mark with a fair amount of clouds around. if you're head to the phillies tonight, phillies trying to get two against the padres, cloudy and humid, spotty shower possible but i think there's a real good chance that the game is dry tonight. 73 for the first pitch and 70 for the ninth inning. and then tomorrow little better chance in the afternoon of some showers building in after about 12 o'clock i would say the best chance is from noon on and as you see by 5 o'clock there is the chance of not only some showers but some thunderstorms and maybe some heavier downpours and more of that coming on friday. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, today 77. we're getting a little bit of an ease back in that t it will still be warm and humid. clouds, sunny breaks and a slight chance of a shower around particularly this morning, maybe something pops later today. tomorrow humid and in the afternoon a better chance for showers, maybe a thunderstorm,

a high of 81 and on friday we get a cold front coming at us that will very likely trigger not only some showers and some thunderstorms but some of these that could produce drenching downpours. i could see some of that on thursday but another chance on friday. a high of 83 on friday. the good news is that once this gets out of here we look at very fast improvement on saturday. there may be a little cloud cover in the morning but overall it's a day that features a lot of sun in the afternoon, lowering humidity and father's day looks great, sunny and warm and comfortable conditions. big story this week will probably be that rain thursday-friday and it could be heavy enough to produce some poor drainage area flooding, okay. >> okay, thank you david. it is now 5:39. on the edge a luxury house is declared off limits down south when a cliff starts to crumble. >> the manayunk arts festival is not just about art. fyi philly has a sneak peek of the festival including some of the delicacies you may be eating this year. karen. >> i always make it about food

from this one just sound horrible. also hearing more details as matt and tam have been telling us about 495 and officials say now the southbound could possibly be opened at labor day and that's the earliest. so, we're looking at a long term situation with this and it's perhaps even longer than that as they continue to investigate what's going to help this situation with the bridge over the christina river. you can't use 495 between 12th street and terminal avenue for an extended period of time so during the summer if you're planning your beaches to delaware you have to plan around it. i-95 looking at no delays in delaware. 295 in this area usually runs nicely. right now looking at speeds of 65 miles an hour but even during the rush it's not as bad in that portion of 295 so you might want to head into new jersey to avoid the delays right there. looking outside this is the 30 bypass at 340. this is your eastbound traffic from coatesville f you're coming from coatesville maybe heading towards 202 you're looking okay. no delay or big problems. we saw maybe a touch of fog in

pushes toward the east while we do expect it to diminish a little bit there is the possibility that as we get into the second half of the rush hour that some of our western suburbs start to pick up some of this in the southwestern corner of chester county is already getting a little wet. that's the rain for this morning. don't know that it is going to make it all the way to the east but it's something we're watching. 69 degrees by 9 o'clock today, 74 by noon. generally speaking we're looking at cloudy skies with some sunny breaks. not as warm as yesterday but still muggy with a high of 77 around 3 o'clock and at times we have to allow for a spotty shower or a thunderstorm. not nearly as much of a chance of this today as there was yesterday overall, though, tam, okay. >> okay, good to know. thank you, david. all right. well, here on "action news" the mayor in california has apologized for a crude act. cameras caught san marino mayor dennis nayer tossing a bag of doing do in a yard. he casually tossed the waste not into a trash can but into the nearest yard. the mayor wrote a letter of
