good morning. >> and it's going to be a big weather day across the region. start you with storm tracker 6 live double scan, not a lot of rain, a sprinkle over the delaware bay perhaps pushing up into cumberland county. we have to wait until later today for this line to push slowly toward the east and then eventually we will see some rain here. you can see that it's a large system. again, moving toward the east rather slowly. we'll probably be on the lookout for the first precipitation to march up through the chesapeake bay but it will be later tonight that this main line pushes through the region and in both cases we could see some heavy downpours. so, lots of stuff on the way and the big issue i think would be the heavy rain. 71 degrees is your current temperature in philadelphia, how about that. 71 at this early hour. same thing in wilmington and allentown. 72 in millville, upper 60's down the shore. it still feels a little bit huggy like yesterday. dewpoints are in the mid 60's across most of the region bordering 69 in dover, that's borderline oppressive

humidity. the rest of us just moderately humid. as we head outside this morning, partly cloudy skies to start out, 71 by 6 o'clock, 72 by 8 o'clock, mainly dry. that one sprinkle down there over the delaware bay will be the only thing we can point to as a possible problem and for your commuter problem -- commuter planner, no the a problem, that's more this afternoon, 77 by noon and around noon we'll be on the lookout for those showers and heavy downpours to march in from the west. 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock looks warm, muggy and pretty wet at times, karen. i'll have future tracker 6 showing you the progression of today's rain coming up. >> don't start with the commuter problems just yet especially when we don't have. they looking outside live on the ben franklin bridge we're good to go. we see construction blocking the two right lanes westbound. they should be clearing one of those lanes shortly but it will still cause delays with one lane blocked through the morning rush. doing just fine on the ben franklin bridge. we have some overnight construction, it's eastbound on the schuylkill expressway between girard and the vine. it's out there blocking the

right lane but it's about to wrap up so for now it may be a little bit slow in that area. other than that you're looking okay. let's step outside one more time and see what it looks like on 202. this is near 29 at this point and we can see the ongoing construction zone. watch for the overnight construction blocking the left lane still in both directions at this point but this should also be wrapping up in about another half an hour, matt and tam. >> okay, thank you, karen. developing right now, a man thrown 15 feet away from his car is now fighting for his life. the vehicle flipped over on roosevelt boulevard in northeast philadelphia after police say the driver hit a tree. accident investigators spent the night on the scene. we also have two developing stories. a suspect is on the run after nearly striking two police officers and police are investigating a double shooting in olney. "action news" reporter katherine scott is live at police headquarters with new details on both of these stories. good morning, katherine. >> reporter: good morning, tam. that's right, we have two cases to tell you about from overnight that philadelphia

police are working on. i'm going to start with the double shooting that began with some sort of argument in olney. two men are in the hospital in stable condition. multiple 911 calls came in around 12:30 this morning. police were called out to this olney address at whale rans and third, multiple 911 calls came in. at least 20 shots were fired. when police got there they found a large crowd and shell casings in the street. two people went to einstein by private vehicles, a 20-year-old man who was grazed in the chest an 23-year-old man shot in the hip. again, they are both in stable condition. four parked cars were hit by bullets, bullets hit three homes but no one inside those homes was hit. police are hoping to get more details from nearby surveillance cameras. >> our shooters are described only as two males who fled on foot north through a rear alley behind third street. these two males possibly

entered a white vehicle which fled in an unknown direction. >> reporter: and the next case i'm going to tell you about is out of northeast philadelphia t a suspect police were looking for in a previous homicide almost struck two 15th district police officers with a car. the officers were not injured. police didn't specify which homicide this suspect is connected to but we do know that around 3:00 a.m. on the 2600 block of elbridge street the suspect nearly hit the two officers, he got away in a 2001 pearl colored pontiac grand prix with rear bumper damage. the suspect was last seen heading eastbound on bridge street from aramingo avenue. call police with tips on either of these cases. we're live from police headquarters, katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> hope someone does. thank you katherine. we have new information on an amber alert in trenton that has been resolved. the five-year-olds girl who was reported missing was found safe and sound in a relative's home. investigators are questioning the mother about her claim that her daughter was victimize in there a

carjacking. police say the mother first told them that she had left her daughter, jania davis in a running suv and that a woman drove away with the suv and jania. a relative called police and said the little girl was sleeping at her house. police found the child there unharmed. >> first the kid is found safe, so we're happy about that, you know, 'cause it could be a lot worse circumstances. yes, we did a lot of resources and we'll do it again if need be, okay. however, if that -- if it was a false report, then the individual who reportd that is going to have to, you know, face the consequences. >> again, police are talking to the girl's mother to determine why she had said there was a carjacking. >> the search continues this morning for a missing jet skier at the jersey shore. police say 68-year-old thomas graham left the marina in the stone harbor manor section of middle township around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. they're asking anyone who has

seen him or his silver, black and white waif runner to please call with information. >> a nursing group claims there were sloppy conditions at the dallas hospital as workers cared for the ebola patient who died last week. erin o'hearn is at the big board. >> reporter: matt, the cdc is admitting it could have done more at that dallas hospital to prevent the spread of the potentially fatal disease. in fact, the cdc went as far as saying that nina pham the nurse that contracted ebola from thomas eric duncan so-called patient zero may have never been infected if experts had been on the ground since the beginning. to prevent another nurse or doctor from getting the disease, the cdc will now send a rapid response team to any hospital that diagnosis an ebola patient. thousands of nurses across the country are expected to join a conference call this afternoon to talk about how their hospitals are preparing to treat ebola cases. now, the nurses' union is

pointing the finger at texas presbyterian hospital claiming it was not prepared to deal with an ebola patient and that's exactly how pham got infected. the ebola outbreak has global health officials on high alert. the world health organization is predicting up to 10,000 new cases a week in the next two months unless drastic action is taken. >> we've got a head start on this. it is far ahead of us. it is running faster than us. and it is winning the race. >> reporter: we have some good news this morning. pham's condition is improving. she released a written statement saying "i'm doing well and want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers." tam, back to you. >> thank you, erin. first lady michelle obama's campaigning in philadelphia for a fellow democrat. mrs. obama will headline an event for tom wolf in west oak lane. the can candidate for governor is currently leading in there polls and the first lady is encouraging supporters to show up to vote on november 4th. today's event takes place at

>> no, i think our main threat will be heavy downpours today and tonight. storm tracker 6 double scan shows us we're basically dry across the region. there's one little sprinkle trying to push up into cumberland county off the delaware bay. that's hardly anything at all. over by baltimore there's some other stuff tracking up towards lancaster but not moving in our direction just yet. we have cloudy skies overhead with some breaks possible as we move through the early part of the day and then the clouds will get thicker later as will those heavy rain cells moving in. temperature currently is 71 degrees. we're starting out very mild this morning across the region. your dewpoint in the mid 60's. that indicates somewhat humid air and the winds out of the southeast at seven, not all that strong just yet. future tracker 6 lays out your day for you. looks like we're going to start out dry for the morning commute but as we get later into the morning, perhaps after 11 o'clock or so there is the chance of a first thrust of rain coming from the south and some of this could produce heavy downpours, perhaps gusty thunderstorms.

as we get later into the afternoon, even more pronounced showers and thunderstorm activity especially from about the center of the region over but even if you're over in trenton there's the possibilities of some stuff popping in and again, these are going to produce heavy downpours that could give you some poor drainage area flooding. the model right now is suggesting a little bit of a lull for the evening commute. i can't guarantee this but it is a possibility that things will die down a bit for a time. nonetheless the roads will still be very wet and there may be some debris on the roads. later into the evening and more showers and perhaps more thunderstorms build in just in time for adam joseph on channel 17 to show them to you on storm tracker 6 live double scan and of course cecily at 11:00 will likely have something to show you as well. looks like a decent amount of rain, the model showing pockets of over 3-inches. i think in general the idea of maybe 1 to 2 inches sounds pretty good with some areas going higher than that particularly where you manage to get several of those downpours. in terms of our risk assessment downpours and street flooding will be main issue, gusty winds possible

where you see a thunderstorm and looking at a pretty low chance of hail and tornadoes out of this system. 72 degrees by 8 o'clock. it's going to be very warm, and muggy all the way. getting up to 79 for a high around 2:00 and probably holding that 79 through 3 o'clock. high temperatures across the region everybody getting warm. mid 70's at the shore, mid 70's up in allentown. upper 70's in. other parts of the region. tomorrow, well, in the wee hours of thursday morning you're probably going the hear some more rumbles of thunder but by 4:30 when we're on the air we're down to a little bit more sketchy stuff and that looks like it will be gone tomorrow by the end of the rush hour. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, today's high is seventy one degrees. we do have those potential for heavy downpours and thunderstorms moving in during the late morning and afternoon hours and continuing off and on through the evening. tomorrow rain ends early, 72 is the high. perhaps late day sunshine and then friday's looking great, 70. saturday lots of sun, 69. still looks like it's going to be cooler on sunday all the way down to 59 the way things look now but it is still dry.

and it looks like we stay kind of cool the beginning of next week. >> thank you david. hey, you know when we're not on the air... when we're not on the air -- >> the seven day is. >> when the seven day is not on the screen any more we can go to the weather tease what we're trying to tell you. >> there it is. >> to go to 6abc.com and head to our weather page and go to storm tracker 6 live and you can track these storms along with dave murphy and see when they're heading to your neighborhood. it's all there on 6abc.com also on the storm tracker 6 app which is on iphone and android devices. newly released dash cam video shows a police officer being dragged by a car. kevin nebia stopped the gray honda odyssey belonging to denny oh at a police check point. he took off dragging the officer 75 feet. the officer was able to free himself but suffered a broken arm. oh was quickly arrested. a homeless man with a violent history has been
