morning, perhaps to catch that school bus, well, looks like it's going to be cool to begin, 57 at 6:00, 60 by 8:00 a.m. partly cloudy, there's a chance the breeze starts to pick up a little bit, too, later in the morning. 63 degrees by 9:00 a.m. and then we do get mild today. 70 by noon, 75 by 3 o'clock. that is your high at 3 o'clock and then back down to 69 at 6 o'clock but notice how the clouds continue to get thicker. in fact as we take a look at satellite you can already see clouds continuing to well up from the south and getting rather thick in southern delaware and cape may county. the wider view shows i was central t-, or an area of low pressure that is sent of it right about there that is on its way in this direction and as it gets closer to us later tonight we are going to see some of that rain start to move up into areas south of philadelphia and then eventually overnight all the way up through philadelphia and into the northern suburbs. karen, some of this rain could be heavy and tomorrow morning's commute looks wet. the latest on future tracker coming up. >> we'll be here to help you through it.

meanwhile we're dry for this morning's commute but loaded with issues. an overturned tractor-trailer in new jersey right on the new jersey turnpike southbound approaching the delaware memorial bridge blocking the left lane and the center lane. so expect some slowing. you might want to use 295 southbound instead, 295 moving nicely with speeds about 64 miles an hour. so, no problems there. if you're in camden, if you're headed towards the ben franklin bridge you'll be dealing with this one because westbound we've got a water main break out there blocking the right lane right on the admiral wilson boulevard near baird boulevard so westbound admiral wilson boulevard near baird right lane blocked. clues are on the scene trying to repair that water main break. we had an accident in willingboro burlington county just cleared. rockland drive looking better. on the big picture we want to mention the ramp from spring garden to the schuylkill westbound remains closed for two months for construction. that continues to be an issue. and matt and tam i have been talking about this. police investigation ongoing in olney. watch for 20th and nedro. you'll see police crews on the scene. >> that is where we start this morning with that breaking news.

in the head, arm and both legs and was pronounced did he do at the hospital at 1:03. she was eight months pregnant and doctors did deliver her baby girl. they worked thon little girl for more than an hour and she too did not survive. police have located some surveillance cameras and they're conducting interviews. >> homicide detectives are talking to witnesses. they're at the hospital talking to the male victim. unknown right now what the motive of the shooting is but right now it's an investigation in progress. >> reporter: and again police are starting to wrap up the crime seen here but you can see they're still on the scene and so is that chevy impal l this is the second time in two weeks in philadelphia a pregnant woman was shot and killed and her baby was delivered and died. in the last case it was considered a double homicide but whether this will be classed as such still has not been determined by authorities. live in olney, katherine scott channel6 "action news. >> a driver is being

questioned for a violent head on crash in delaware. the action caln was there as crews rushed to free a second driver who was trapped in his pickup truck. this happened late last night on lancaster pike at hickory spring road in hockessin. the victim in the pickup is now in the hospital in critical condition. at this point that other driver does not face charges in connection with the crash. >> a young man has turned himself in for a shooting that killed an innocent teenager. philadelphia police say 19-year-old darian person opened fire in logan on monday. this happened during a fight involving students from delaware valley charter school. person is a dropout from that school. 15-year-old aisha abdur rahman also attended the school. she was hit by a bullet shot about half a block away. antiviolence activists held a vigil in her memory. >> so many guns are still out here on the streets and i'm here as a parent to say stop the violence because we're losing our babies to the

streets. >> the 19-year-old was shot in the chest and remains in critical condition. person remains behind bars. >> 5:34 now and officials with the philadelphia school district believe some of their budget troubles are about to be solved. pennsylvania governor tom corbett plans to sign a bill today that will allow the city to raise its cigarette tax to send more money to public schools. "action news" reporter erin o'hearn is live at the big board to break it down for us. >> the cash strapped philadelphia school district will be getting crucial revenue from this bill. last night the senate joined the house in supporting the cigarette tax by a 39 to 11 vote. governor corbett as you said is expected to sign the bill as soon as it reaches his desk this morning. now let's take a look at exactly what this means for smokers. the current pennsylvania tax for a pack of sipping lets is $1.60. the new tax for philadelphia adds two dollars to that plus there's the 8% sales tax which is already higher than most of the state. this bill comes after months of delay. house and senate republican

leaders battled under unrelated provisions including local hotel taxes but they were dropped in the final version of the bill. of course educators are thrilled. the philadelphia school district lab lobbying for more than funds for months and this will provide $83 million a year to the district. but while schools say the tax will benefit them enormously, smokers and small business owners say it's at their expense. >> we went on those assurances and today it's paid off and in fact, i'm glad we did not have to reduce staff, eliminate programs. >> they're making an excuse this is how we going to fund schooling but they're really just taxing another thing. y'all taxed beverages, y'all taxing everything. it's another way to just i guess keep their land in your pocket. >> but again a big day for the philadelphia school district. again, governor corbett is expected to sign the bill this morning. tam, back to you.
