with clouds through the first part of the day. it looks like during the afternoon a couple of showers are possible here and there but the big issue will be thunderstorms later this evening and most of those are going to be in the northern and western suburbs. more on that coming up with our full forecast in a couple of minutes. this morning 73 degrees in philadelphia. 70's just about everywhere so warmer this morning than it's been the last couple of mornings and the humidity is much more noticeable. it's very muggy as you step outside this morning and unfortunately it stays on the humid side today. your temperatures are going to be warm and continuing to get warmer in a hurry. 77 degrees by 9 o'clock. by noon we're up to 84 degrees. in fact we'll probably hit 80 around 10 o'clock this morning and by 3 o'clock, 87. we're actually going for a high of 88 degrees and that is probably going to be at about four 4 o'clock before we slide back to 85 by 6 o'clock. very humid today. and again, as we get through the afternoon a spotty shower is possible. as we get toward evening a thunderstorm possible and karen, those could produce drenching downpours and lots of lightning especially in the northern and western suburbs. future tracker 6 with more on

that coming up. >> all right, david, taking a live look at 95 nearly a gain. we had construction blocking two lanes just cleared a second ago as david was talking right here. things are looking okay but we have some residual slowing with that construction that was blocking not one but two lanes on i-95 southbound. looking at the big picture we still have 13th street blocked near race street. watch for that. if you're in the area stick to broad or 11th street and the phils play tonight at 7:05 so, yes, you'll see congestion there in south philadelphia. we've got some emergency construction going on even at this early hour and it's because of a problem in pottstown montgomery county. we had an earlier truck fire so route 100 northbound is blocked at at this point between slew maker road and state street. stick to hanover or charlotte street. both good alternates to deal with that. and in hamilton township mercer county we've got a downed traffic signal and it's out there blocking the right lane. it's on 33 eastbound past 295 so watch for that one, tam. >> oh, thank you, karen. new here on "action news" two teenagers are nursing gun shot wounds this morning after being lit by a shower of

bullets in philadelphia's grays ferry section. "action news" reporter katherine scott is joining us live from police headquarters. she's got latest on the investigation. good morning, katherine. >> reporter: good morning, tam. and those two injured teenagers are in stable condition, and police are still trying to sort this one out. they're not sure yet if those teens were targeted or if they were caught in the crossfire. it all remains under investigation this morning but this all happened around 10 o'clock last night in grays ferry. police were called out to the 1600 block of south 30th street and that's where the shooting happened. at least 11 shots were fired. the 15-year-old told police he was riding his bicycle when he heard the shots and then he was hit in his hand and grazed in his thigh. he continued riding to his grandmother's house which is about a half a block away and that's where police found him and took him to chop. the 14-year-old boy was grazed in his shoulder. he also lived nearby and managed to make it home and that's where police found him. he was also taken to the hospital. police are looking for surveillance cameras to try to get a better description of

the gunman and try to figure out exactly what happened here. >> the only description we have is the shooter was one of two males who fled the scene. both of these males have similar descriptions. both wearing white t-shirts blue jeans and sneakers, fled on foot in an unknown direction. >> reporter: and again the circumstances surrounding this shooting remain under investigation. call police with any tips. we're live at police headquarters, katherine scott, channel 6 "action news." >> thanks katherine. a philadelphia police officer is facing charges that she prodded her own children to get involved in fights. 35-year-old tamika gross a veteran of the 16th district allegedly took her teenaged children to fights with other youngsters, encouraged them to fight and even took part in some of the confrontations herself. >> that kind of thuggish behavior is just unacceptable. it happened on more than one occasion. she not only encouraged her child to fight she participated in the fight. i mean, come on, that's just not the way you do things. >> the fights date back to

2012. gross faces charges of corruption of minors and simple assault. >> it is almost 5: 05. happenings today the preliminary hearing for the fired chester county music teacher accused of child sexual abuse. prosecutors chargeed anton fomin with attempted aggravated indies sent assault. he assemblily abused three students during individual private lessons at the malvern school of music. he's also shown photos to children. >> a progress report of repair work on the 495 bridge. federal highway officials say the pile caused support columns to tilt. and work has been slowed by industrial contamination found at the site. soil samples found elevated levels of lead iron and arsenic in the top 15 feet of the soil. at least 700 southwest philadelphia residents are without gas service and could

be for days to come. 40,000 gallons of water seeped out of a broken water main and into a gas main at 56th and woodland. so, pgw turned off the gas. some of the water made it into the gas meters and some appliances in customers' homes. what a mess. crews have been vacuuming out all the water but the process could take days. >> ooh. that's rough, that is rough. and our weather is going to be a bit rough this evening. >> yeah, tonight we got thunderstorms and ahead of that, tam, just high humidity. it already feels muggy out there. storm tracker 6 live double scan and we have no precipitation just yet. as we take a look outside, we've got muggy conditions as i mentioned. now, there's sky 6 looking down at penn's landing. doesn't look all that foggy or anything like that but you go outside and you can feel the humidity much hire today than it was yesterday and it's on its way up. 73 degrees right now in philadelphia, 72 in wilmington. 70 in allentown. 70 in trenton and 72 in sea isle city so numbers are a

little bit warmer this morning than they were this time yesterday and dewpoints are already up in the mid 60's and they're probably climbing toward about 70 and when you get dewpoints at 70 that's what we start to call oppressive air. future tracker 6 shows that you during the morning it's basically just clouds mixing with some sun. we do have the chance of a spotty shower from about noon on through the rest of the afternoon but obviously you can see that it's not all that bad. we get up to 5 o'clock, though, and out north and west of the area you're going start to see some showers and some thunderstorms build in and after that some of this will start to pop through the northern and western suburbs. now, it looks like between 6:00 and 10 o'clock most of the action is north side and west of philadelphia but notice how some of these storms are producing drenching downpours. whenever you get that, you can get somewhat gusty winds but the other big issue tonight will be lots of lightning, okay, so the big time period for this would be the evening and it will be the worst north and west. so, that's the main idea with the storms that we're going to see today and where they hit they could produce a quick 2-inches of rain in less than

an hour. that means localized flooding. where you lap to see these and frequent lightning again, these will be spotty but where they hit they'll cause problems. the other big issue is that high humidity. it is going to feel oppressive during most of the day especially when the sun is out later today and into the afternoon. up in allentown a high of 84, very humid and an afternoon shower or thunderstorm can't be ruled out. a little better chance later tonight and then down the shore 72 to 75 in your ocean. 78 degrees at noon and probably about 82 in most shore spots down along the beach. it will feel more humid on the beach but of course you've got that nice ocean water to take a dip. do be careful of a late day or evening storm. again, these are mostly going to be north and west but just in case something pops down the shore we want to remind you about that. in philadelphia a high of 88 degrees today, very humid, spotty storms and showers during the afternoon and especially later this evening. again, most of the stuff farther to the north and west. and here's how numbers are going to go. by 11 o'clock at 77 degrees and we're going get up to 88 in the afternoon.

84 degrees is your first pitch temperature for the phillies tonight, 77 in the ninth inning, very muggy, perhaps a shower but i think they get the game in. the big issue will be that mug go air. you want to keep cool drinks going tonight. humid conditions today in the accuweather 7-day, a high all the way up to 88 degrees, some afternoon showers and perhaps some late day storms. then on thursday still unsettled, a high of 87 degrees. looks like we'll still have a lingering shower or maybe a thunderstorm around on thursday as that front doesn't fully pull out of here until later in the day on thursday. then friday it's sunny and warm with a high of 86 but the humidity should be going down. saturday mostly sunny and 85 and sunday a mix of clouds and sun with a chance of a couple of showers or thunderstorms but not a washout. highs still in the 80's. notice how on tuesday we're back up to 90. >> okay. >> yikes. get ready. >> thank you david. it's 5:09. coming up on "action news" another bridge scandal is rocking new jersey governor chris christie's administration. >> and more world cup drama. at least one player from

uruguay has a clear hunger for goals and perhaps his opponents as well. we'll explain. karen. >> conshohocken right now, the blue route past the schuylkill looking pretty good right here. we're going to take you to bucks county coming up in our suburban traffic report next. >> and coming up in the morning buzz what does your refrigerator say about your love life? >> i don't want do know. >> me, neither. morning b
