city. the revel was supposed to purge new life into this town targeting an upmarket crowd. the crowds never came and the casino went through two bankruptcies before finally calling it quits. it has become another domino as one casino after another falls. the atlantic club closed in january. the showboat closed this past sunday and the trump plaza will close in two weeks. the closings are a body blow to the local economy putting 6200 people out of work. the mood was grim at the revel last night as many of the 3200 employees clocked out for the last time. >> very serious. usually have fun, goof off and everything but we took it very serious, did our jobs, in and out. >> reporter: the gaming floor all but deserted throughout the night soon to go dark as this place closes its doors for the final time at 6 o'clock this morning. the revel will be no more. so, what's next for atlantic city now that four of its 12 casinos are closing? well,

condition, tranquil conditions as well but as you take your first steps outside the door you'll probably feel it kind of muggy out there. similar to the last couple of days. and it looks like we're in for hot and humid one. temperature right now is 77 degrees. your dewpoint is 72 right now. that's over that threshold for what we call oppressive air. 70 and up oppressive humidity. winds out of the southwest at just 3 miles per hour, too, so not much relief there. dewpoints across the region, we have slipped to 68 in allentown but most of us are at 70 or better so again very humid conditions as you step outside it's staying that way today. future tracker 6 shows that you we'll be in and out of the clouds as we go through the morning and into the afternoon. looks like in most cases we stay dry. we can't totally rule out a little pop-up shower or thunderstorm during the late afternoon hours but the better chance appear to be in the evening between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock tonight. there are drenching downpours in a couple neighborhoods, maybe a little bit of gusty wind ahead of that. then we get up to 11 o'clock and we're beginning to ease

back into drier conditions. as we take a look at temperatures today, 78 degrees by 8 o'clock but by 11:00 we're already in the mid 80's and then we spend a good portion of the afternoon in the 90's. 94 degrees is your high at about 3 o'clock and by 5 o'clock we'll still be just barely holding onto 90 and again a pop-up shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon but a better chance this evening. high temperatures across the area, everybody in the 90's outside of lancaster and the shore. at the shore still mid to upper 80's and still humid with that late thunderstorm chance. as we take a look at tomorrow, any early showers get out of here quickly and then you can see how we clear out and dry out and that humidity starts to go down tomorrow. should it feel a lot more comfortable. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, hot and humid today, though. 94 the high. heat index is up around 100. lots of cool drinks if you'll be out there working or exerting yourself at all and that late thunderstorm is something you want to keep your eyes on. tom glavine we'll less humid, 88, still warm. great for the union game at ppl park at night and then thursday sunny and warm, 88 but not bad in terms of

humidity. sunny and hot on friday, a high of nineties. it may abtad more humid. saturday warmer and more humid with a high of 88. there's a chance of a and afternoon shower or thunderstorm and sunday 80, partly sunny for the eagles game. another chance of a shower or a thunderstorm around but hopeful that stuff misses the stadium. we'll keep our eyes on it there thank you, david. it's 5:41 and the manhunt intensifies for the bandit wanted for five bank robberies in four states and police consider him heavily armed and dangerous. >> the grounds gives way at a cemetery out west taking with it someone's final resting place. karen. >> we're looking live in bensalem route 1 approaching the pennsylvania turnpike. no problems right here but not far off we've got a new accident involving an overturned tractor-trailer. details coming right up. >> the coast guard comes to the rescue of boaters stranded hear their story a little later on "action news."
