6:01 am
coastal flood advisory. minor flooding for the most part. there's also the chance for some rip currents today because of that coastal low pushing in some water in off the ocean. so not a great day down the beach anyway but be careful if you do venture into the water. 69 degrees right now philadelphia. just 60 in allentown. low 70's down the shore and as we head out the door to catch that school bus between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock looks like we're still be in the upper 60's. 67 by seven and 68 by 8:00 a.m. a bit of a bright breeze. as we roll through the day most of the day in the 70's. 70 by 9 o'clock your lie today at 3 o'clock, 77 degrees. mostly cloudy skies with some sunny breaks possible. karen, if we see any rain today it will be light and spotty so i'm not going overboard on the rain gear. we have a better chance of some showers though coming up in the accuweather 7-day, okay. >> all right dave. your morning commute is dry as you head out but we've got problems out there. the big first tractor-trailer fire. it was blocking all lanes of

the new jersey turnpike. this is as you head north near exit eight, watch for this. now we're getting the left lane squeezing by but that's it. so watch for some slowing on the new jersey turnpike northbound. i'd stick to the alternates here which are 130 or route one. that's on the turnpike up north near eight, exit eight right now so watch for that. looking at the big picture with speeds around the city looking pretty good on the schuylkill expressway. on i-95 maybe a touch slow i-95 southbound about 47 miles an hour near girard. things are looking a lot better on the blue route because that construction cleared. but here in darby we've got a problem, a gas main break that's new this morning, it's right on main street and ninth. avoid the area altogether. what you can do is stick to new walnut street or you can use summit as your alternate to avoid that. let's check the roads for you right now. looking live here on the boulevard, this is near ridge, that's your southbound traffic. not too bad just yet as you exit off for the schuylkill, matt. >> thanks karen. we're following several developing stories including the search for the plan who police say shot his girlfriend in the face. "action news" reporter erin o'hearn is tracking
6:03 am
information live at the big board. erin. >> matt a-very unsettling night. the three separate incidents have left three people in area hospitals with critical injuries and it is unclear if the woman involved in a domestic shooting will survive. around 10:00 p.m. police rushed to a home on the 900 block of south fifth street where they found the 32-year-old woman who lives there on the floor with a gun shot wound to the mouth and arm. police say there were signs of violent struggles took place before the shooting with tv's torn off walls and furniture overturned. investigators say six shell casings were found within inches of the woman's body which means she was likely shot at point blank range. investigators are currently looking for her live-in boyfriend. police are also utilizing the private and city surveillance cameras in the area hoping they can identify a suspect coming or leaving the residence. again, the victim is in very critical condition. police are not sure if she will survive her injuries. early this morning an
6:04 am
argument inside a chinese takeout restaurant escalated into a stabbing and a 38-year-old man was rushed in critical condition to an area hospital with wounds to his chest. this happened just past 1:30 a.m. on the 3600 block of north broad street in north philadelphia. the suspect is a male in his 20's wearing a t-shirt and jeans. he fled the scene but police are hoping that surveillance cameras in that area will help them in their investigation. finally in williamstown, new jersey, late last night a person was struck by a car and seriously injured along the 100 block of north black horse pike. details on this are a bit sketchy. the investigation is under way but police say the driver of the car did stop nearby. police tell "action news" this was not a hit and run but are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident. of course, if you have any information on any of these cases, you are asked to call police immediately. matt. >> thank you, erin. police in delaware county
6:05 am

6:08 am
councilman jim kenny passed in june. the mayor has yet to act on it until now. the legislation would mean no arrests or jail time for people caught with 1 ounce of pot or less. instead, they would get a $25 fine. council says prosecuting small time users is not only expensive to taxpayers and clogs the legal system but it disproportionately targets african-americans. the mayor's compromise includes adding higher fines or community service for smoking marijuana in public. the law is expected to take effect on october 20th. >> we definitely feel like we are moving more and more into fall. cool out there this morning. >> yeah, it is a little cool and breezy, too, tam. storm tracker 6 live double scan shows us that we are dry, which is nice. looks like there might be a little bit of a sprinkle developing over cape may county and maybe up the coast by surf city but that's about it. as we take a look outside we have a fair amount of clouds overhead with some breaks in the clouds. it's going to be some of those mornings where some of you see mainly cloudy skies but others
6:09 am
manage to squeeze out some sunshine and i can see some of that breaking out in philadelphia. 69 degrees is your current temperature in the city, 69 down the pike in wilmington as well. just 60 in allentown. 62 in reading and trenton and low 70's in sea isle city and the boardwalk in atlantic city. future tracker 6 shows us how as we go through the morning and then in through the afternoon there is going to be some rain off the coast that every now and then will try and make it inland in the form of some drizzle or maybe a couple of spotty showers. this generally speaking isn't looking like a grateful rain but there is that chance of a shower at times. especially down the shore. some of this might work its way up into philadelphia. otherwise we're going for mostly cloudy skies with some sunny breaks at times. 75 degrees is your high up in allentown with clouds mixing with some sun. like yesterday, i think the farther north and west you go through the region the better chance you have of seeing more sun and hopefully we'll get some of that in philadelphia at times today as well. down the shore cloudy with rain and drizzle. 73 degrees by noon. 77 by 3 o'clock. remember, there is a rip
6:10 am
currents risk in the water today. not that it's a great beach day anyway but you want to be careful if you venture into the beach and of course there are no lifeguards. today is probably not a great day to hit the water for a number of reasons actually. lots of clouds a bit breezy in philadelphia, 77 degrees. we can't rule out some periods of sunshine as well. and maybe spotty drizzle or a shower passing but i'm not recommending rain gear for the kids 'cause i think it's very little. especially up in the i-95 corridor. 68 degrees by 8 o'clock. then we're in the 70's the rest of the way. 73 by 11 o'clock, 76 by 2 o'clock. your high of 77 around 3 o'clock and then still in the mid 70's by 5 o'clock. clouds mixing with some sun and a little breezy and coolish out there. 72 degrees for the first pitch for the phillies tonight against the pirates. 69 in the ninth inning. similar conditions to last night with a bit of a breeze blowing. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast shows some changes coming right around the corner. today we've got mainly cloudy skies with some sunny breaks. that spotty rain or drizzle around at times and a high of 77. but tomorrow clouds give way to sun and we wind up with a
6:11 am
nice afternoon and a warm high of 80 and then the humidity returns for thursday. warm and humid with a high of 86 and in the afternoon with a front coming in we could see some spotty showers and thunderstorms at times in the afternoon and evening. looks like that system's out of here quickly though and on friday it's less humid and a high of 77. pretty nice afternoon there. saturday 73 and afternoon shower can't be ruled out. doesn't necessarily look like a complete washout and we're hoping things dry out in time for that big union game against new york at ppl park saturday night. sunday looks dry. monday looks dry. >> gotcha'. thanks, david. next on "action news" more stories you didn't see last night including how a driver rammed his pickup into a sheriff's office. plus, the assault on law enforcement did not stop there. >> all hail girl power. we'll tell you about the new cab service in the big apple. karen. >> looking lifey here in the city, the vine street expressway near the schuylkill, traffic there maybe a touch slow as you head towards the schuylkill. not a big deal just yet. we'll have details on the latest with that tractor-trailer fire and a
6:12 am
6:14 am
6:15 am
cool degrees. >> all right, what's going on in montgomery county, karen? >> a new accident just coming in right now, it's in whitemarsh township so watch for it on joshua road at germantown pike just happening within the last couple minutes here so look for that one new this morning. also this tractor-trailer fire was blocking all lanes of the new jersey turnpike northbound. this is in hyattstown near exit eight. so now the latest is they're letting two lanes get by but you can see the area of yellow, even area of red up here so we're pretty jammed on the new jersey turnpike. kind of an unusual jam at this early hour so if you're headed up towards exit eight expect a big delay certainly from 195 to items -- hyattstown. particular to 130 or route one. your south jersey overview not bad. this is 55, 82 your about 47 miles an hour as you head towards 42 and 42 moving in the 50's for the most part. you know that's going to change in about an hour or so. enjoy your smoother ride right now. looking outside at 422, at
6:16 am
trooper, little slow at 23. watch for that one. looking at the temperatures, 69 degrees right now in philadelphia. we're dry but later today you might expect maybe a touch of rain or drizzle and that could impact you slightly for your evening commute. 77 degrees for your high today. so on the cool side, matt. >> okay, thanks karen. its ncaa lift ed sanctions against penn state two years ahead of schedule. several thousand people gatherd in state college last night to celebrate. the action will allow penn state's football row gm to qualify for a bowl game this season. the ncaa ended the sanctions saying the progress the school has made in reforming the athletic program in the wake of the jerry sandusky scandal has been impressive. >> the president of chile is calling the explosion near a subway station in country a terrorist attack. the blast ripped through a restaurant next to a subway station in santiago yesterday. at least 14 people were injured. no group has claimed responsibility for the blast. at least 29 bombs have been found across the city so far

6:31 am
now. and as we roll through the day, we stay in the 70's for most of the way. 70 by 9 o'clock, 74 by noon and a high of 77 by 3 o'clock. mostly cloudy skies although we can't rule out some occasional sunshine breaking through and again there is that chance of a shower especially down south. wants to get you to the airport real quick. we don't have any major delays reported but i will point out that some rain has started out in chicago so that would be an area to watch. karen when i step inside we have another round of possible showers and a thunderstorm later in the accuweather 7-day forecast. that's ahead. >> all right, dave, problems on the roads. we're looking live at i-95 at cottman avenue you expect a southbound jam, that's normal. the problem is northbound. can you see up here on the right-hand side of your screen we've got a disabled school bus. many of the kids just getting what, to school yet we have this school bus stuck on i-95 northbound past cottman blocking the right lane. police and penndot on the scene. you see the jam-up from allegheny to past cottman because of that disabled school bus.

6:38 am
