those rip currents are an issue now and the good news is they might be gone for the holiday weekend. >> that is right brian, as the weekend wears on the threat for rip currents will start to wane as we get close to the holiday weekend, this is the official end to the summer season that means people are flocking to the beaches and have a good time. if your weekend starts early as of today, there is a bit concern with the water and people heading into the water. we have lifeguards on duty and red flags up. the red flags are up in ocean city indicating a high risk for rip currents, lifeguards reported 3 to 7 feet this afternoon so definitely a big concern. large swells and rough surf is expected today as hurricane cristobal move as way from our shore line and moves into the atlantic. there were safety measures put in place for beach goers in

ocean city as the waves crash and piles on shore. >> we are not allowing floatation or boogie boards or rafts and keeping the bathers in to waist or knee deep water. >> this is what you should do if you get caught the rip current, there are large swells that pile up on shore, and that water has nowhere to go and that rushes back out to sea, you should not fight the rip current, resist the urge, and swim parallel to shore. then swim back to shore. the rip current will start to decrease after today. we have waves of 4 to 6 feet today, tomorrow the waves from 1 to 3 feet, so a moderate to low risk and the good news as we get

into the holiday weekend, saturday, sunday and monday the threat starts to wane. the good news is that lifeguards will be on dutdy manning the lifeguard stations and 13 to 14 lifeguards will be manning the stations on labor day. if you are in the water, there is a lot of found take place, we have all the details and hot happenings down at the shore in ocean city or wherever your shore destination takes you. reporting from ocean city, melissa magee, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. a lot of hot happenings and a lot of sunny days this holiday weekend. whether you are heading to the shore or heading home. it's sunny out there right now, adam joseph is outside enjoying it. another nice day. >> anything but hot out here, but that will change, a beautiful breeze and a bright, blue sky, here are the numbers right now, only upper 70s to the

north and west. 80 in philadelphia, 81 in millville and at the shore with a northwesterly wind, no sea breeze today, 80 at the boardwalk in sea isle city and along long beach island, you probably felt the winds clocking in at 18 miles per hour. sustained in philadelphia, 12 in allentown and 12 in millville. that drives in the cooler air for august with high pressure to the north and the clouds are to the north and east in new england and clouds to the west near chicago and the high will be pulling over our region tonight. and that will relax the wind and create comfortable temperatures for some football, very fall-like weather, this evening at the linc, kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. and the temperature will be 71 as the winds ease. we'll talk about the holiday weekend with a big turn around and the chance for storms i'll vtd details in full accuweather

forecast. >> thank you adam. the eagles welcome the new york jet tods town tonight for the final game of the preseason. michael vick will make his return to south philadelphia. but chip kelly will have his eyes on his own quarterbacks tonight. ducis rogers and jaime apody are live at the linc. with more on the players fighting for roster spots. >> reporter: hey there, it's the final dress rehearsal for the philadelphia eagles, don't expect to see the starters take a rest with the first game just a week away. lets talk about the guy that is starting tonight. his name is matt barkley, he is the number three guy, it will be hard for him to play in this game. he usually gets a week notice and have you to prepare the way you did in college as a starting quarterback. i asked him how that will affect his play tonight. >> it's comforting and it feels

like it has been a while since that time, but it is nothing foreign to me, and i have a good week of preparation so far with the guys that are playing on thursday and a lot of good looks at what the jets will be doing. it's a good feeling what you are getting into and i'm exciting for thursday night. >> the qb on the other side, is a familiar face, michael vick makes his return to the linc. he is the jet's backup quarterback but starts tonight as the jets are resting their starters as well. of course, we'll have the game for you coming up on 6 abc and the earlier kickoff here, the jets and the eagles. >> he will not play vick long but it will be wreerd to see him in a different shade of green here at the linc. back to you guys. >> an interesting game to watch. thank you. still ahead, is it the

luckiest place in new jersey, the deli that just made another millionaire in the garden state. plus, workers are putting the finishing touches on the made in america setup from the road closures to the details you need to know coming u

we bring you live to the white house, president obama has just stepped to is the podium, issues, a ground invasion in ukraine and the growing threat of isis. >> it poses an immediate threat to iraq and the people of the region, that is why our military reaction has to be part of a broader comprehensive strategy to protect our people and support our partners that take the fight to isis. that starts with iraq's leaders

building on the progress so far and forming a concludsive government. any successful strategy has to have strong regional partners, i am encouraged so far that countries in the region, countries that don't always agree on many things, increasingly recognize the threat that isis poses to all of them. i have asked secretary kerry to travel to the region to build the coalition to meet this threat. as i said rooting out a cancer like isis is not easy but i believe we can and we will working with our partners and allies. our joint chiefs of staff will prepare a range of options and i'll meet with my security council to continue developing that strategy. i have been consulting with members of congress and will continue to do so in the days

ahead. i just spoke with chancellor merkel of germany, we agreed, if there was any doubt that russia is responsible for the vie license in eastern ukraine. the violence is encouraged by russia and the separatists are trained and armed by russia and funded by russia. russia has deliberately and repeatedly violated the sovereignty of ukraine and that make its plain for the world to see. this comes as ukrainian forces are making progress against the separatists. as a result of the actions that russia has taken and the sanctions that we have taken, russia is more isolated than at any time since the cold war. the economy is in decline and this ongoing russia into ukraine

will only bring more costs and consequences for russia. next week i'll be in new york to coordinate with our closest allies and partners and at the nato submit in the you needed kingdom, we'll talk about the additional steps to make sure the alliance remains for any challenge and another opportunity for our alliance to continue our partnership with the ukraine and our unwaiving commitment to the ukraine and its people. so, with that i'm going to take a few questions and i'm going to start with somebody i guess is now a big cheese, he has moved on but i understand this is his last chance to ask me a question

in the press room. i want to congratulate chuck todd. >> lets me start with syria, the decision that have you to make between, first of all is it an if or when situation about going after isis. can you defeat isis without -- and how do you prioritize assad, and defeating isis could help assad keep power, talk about how you prioritize those two pieces of your foreign policy. >> first after you will i want to make sure that everybody is clear what we are doing now. because it is limited. the focus is to protect the personnel on the ground, our embassy and our conlate to make sure that critical infrastructure that could adversely affect our personnel

is protected. where we see an opportunity that allows us with very modest risk to help the humanitarian situation where we did in sinjar mountain, we take the opportunities after consulting with congress but the core priority is to headache sure our folks are safe and to do an affective assessment of iraqi and kurdish capabilities. as i said i think in the last press conference, in order for us to be successful we have to have an iraqi government that is unified and inclusive. we continue to push them to get that job done. as soon as we have an iraqi government in place, the likelihood of the iraqi security forces being more affective in taking the fight to isis significantly increases. and the options that i am asking

for from the joint chiefs focuses primarily on making sure that isis is not overrunning iraq. what is true though is the violence taking place in syria has given isis a safe haven there in ungoverned spaces. and in order for us to degrade isis over the long-term we'll have to build a regional strategy, we are not going to do that alone. we have to do that with other partners, in particular sunni partners because part of the goal here is to make sure that sunni is both in syria and iraq, feel as if they have an investment in a government that actually functions and a government that can protect them and a goemts that makes sure that they are safe from the barbaric acts we have seen.

and right now, those structures are not in place. and that is why the issue with respect to syria is not simply a military issue but a political issue, an issue that involves all the sunni states in the region and the sunni leadership recognizing that this cancer that has developed is one that they have to be just as invested in defeating as we are. and so -- to cut to the chase in terms of what may be your specific concerns chuck, my priority at this point is to make sure that the games that isis made in iraq will roll black and iraq has an tun opportunity to governor itself. when we look at a broader strategy, it's consistent with

what i said, clearly isis has come to represent the very worst elements in the region that we have to deal with collectively. and that is going to be a long-term project, it's going to require us to stabilize syria in some fashion and that means we have got to get moderate sunnis, who are able to govern and -- last point, with respect to assad. it's not just my opinion, that assad lost legit -- dropping bombs on families and killing tens of thousands of people. right now we see areas in iraq

isis is occupying are not controlled by assad any way. and frankly assad doesn't seem to have the capability or reach to get into those areas, so i don't think this is a situation where we have to choose between assad or the kinds of people that carry on the incredible violence we have been seeing there. we'll continue to support a moderate opposition inside of syria in part because we have to give people insides of syria a choice other than isis or assad. i don't see any scenario in which assad is some how able to bring peace and stability to a region that is majority sunni. and has not so far shown any

willingness to share power with them or in a significant way deal with the long standing grievances they have there. >> okay you have been listening to president obama at the white house today. talking about a couple of issues including increasing national importance, the ukraine and the apparent ground invasion there today by russia and the growing threat by isis, the white house referring to that as isil. and in training separatists there. the president has asked for a range of options from the defense secretary and congress and he is considering a change of tactic when it comes to dealing with this growing trend. we'll keep an eye on that.
