coming in around an area of low pressure that's down to our south and you can kind of sense that this is coming in off the ocean but then kind of turning and spinning down in this direction. so, there's a bit of a question as to how far inland this heavy stuff here will make make it. i do think philadelphia has a shot at picking up some of this heavier stuff. if you're in places like reading and allentown i don't know that you get a whole lot of this. it's probably going to be on the lighter side out there in those spots. a lot of thunderstorm activity off the coast but most of that is falling apart pretty quickly as it gets over land. as we take a look outside, we have cloudy skies and in philadelphia it is a bit damp with that light rain falling so your roads are getting a bit wet and that's liable to slow you down a tad this morning. 56 degrees, it is fairly cool as you head outside especially with that damp chilly condition so definitely bundle up a bit as you head outdoors. 55 degrees in allentown, 56 in sea isle city and we're looking at a fair amount of wind blowing around especially

as we get later into the morning. future tracker 6 from now up until 7:30 or 8:00 shows there's still the chance of some of that heavier rain to try and push in toward philadelphia. but as you can see as we go up to noon, the heavier stuff as a tendency to fall apart and wrap down off the coast again so that by 12 o'clock, yeah, there could still be some showers around but it doesn't look all that intense away from the shore. shore could still get steadier stuff. by 5 o'clock it's beginning to wrap to the south. after that we're looking at a passing shower. some could be steady as we head toward the later nighttime period and it's possible that adam and cecily will have more to show you tonight on storm tracker. allentown 58 degrees cloudy and windy when it is not raining. down the shore that's where you'll see the steadier rain especially this morning but maybe even into the afternoon. 62 degrees is your forecast high there with periods of rain at the shore, steady at times. and in philadelphia, we're going for a high of 59 degrees. that's all we'll see today.

with periods of rain and some of that rain extending overnight, at least some spotty shower activity and then we wind up with some drying tomorrow afternoon. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, today cloudy and rainy at times. most of your steady rain the best chance of it, anyway, is in the morning. if you're down the shore, some of that may linger in through the afternoon. the rest of us probably looking at some spotty shower activity through the afternoon. then morning rain on thursday, just spotty showers but some afternoon drying and maybe some clearing with a high of 57 degrees. on friday things get better. breezy and nice, 62 with a mix of sun and clouds and saturday looking pretty good, too, with a high of 67, sun and clouds and lots of sun and breezy conditions on sunday getting up to 66 degrees. so, a great weekend ahead but for now we've got to deal with cloudy and dampness. >> okay. we will. >> thanks, david. >> thank you, david. 6:12. up next more stories you didn't see last night including the stamp collection fight that set off this high speed police pursuit in the

tracker 6 live double scan right now you can see that there are a couple areas of yellow indicating the heavier rain and as we go in over top of this rain and look straight down on it you can see that some of it is over by wilmington. however that is spinning away. that yellow in northern new jersey is spinning toward trenton and let's go ahead and put in it motion. this is a big band of rain that's circulating in off the ocean kind of wrapping down to the southwest around an area of low pressure south of cape may and the heavy stuff popping in toward trenton is certainly steady enough to show you down on the roads. looks like most of this right now is tracking toward the north of the center of the city but now pretty close to trenton center you're getting some of that yellow so that's significant rain popping in there. philadelphia has just been in and out of the lighter rain and if we go down to the south that heavier stuff pushing away from wilmington and just to the south of newark and now sort of pinwheel down to the south and west of you. so, it's damp out there this morning but we're kind of dodging the bullet in most areas with that heavy rain kind of splitting the

difference between areas to the south of wilmington and then up by trenton you're getting some of the steadier stuff. as we take a look outside we got cloudy skies out there. obviously it is damp. a lot of your road conditions are less than perfect because of the rain. atlantic city hasn't seen a whole lot lately, though, so that's one of the spots where it might be a little bit drier on the road surfaces. temperature right now is 57 degrees. your winds out of the north at 14 and we're expecting it to be a somewhat windy day. in terms of where the rain is going between now up until 8 o'clock it's possible we have some steadier stuff trying to wrap down into philadelphia. northern and western suburbs not so much. still looks like south jersey and southern delaware are dry. but then later in the day up to about noon some of this is going to start to pinwheel through and just about everybody could see at least some light rain at times up until noon. later this afternoon it looks like most of this wants to push back down by the shore. if you're down along the coast, are you probably looking at a fairly wet one all day. the farther you go north and west the better chance you have of some periods where

it's just kind of drying out. and by 10:30 tonight we're probably down to to some lighter sprinkles and showers. adam and cecily will be on the air later tonight to get you through. that allentown is going to be cool but in philadelphia we'll probably be maybe a couple degrees milder. everybody, however, is going to wind up in the 50's today. philadelphia's high only 59. you can see how temperatures really aren't going that far today. high temperatures across the region, 58 allentown, line in philadelphia, up are 60's down the shore today. windy and at times wet. tomorrow morning a couple of sprinkles and showers around. afternoon we're looking to see drying and tomorrow afternoon should be on the whole dry. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, cloudy and rainy today, 59 degrees is your forecast high. periods of rain steady at times in the morning. during the afternoon a better chance of it being kind of lighter precipitation but still out there. morning rain on thursday as you just saw, it's light sprinkles and showers. possible afternoon clearing with maybe some sun coming back, 57 is the high. after that high pressure begins to get closer to us and

we wind up with a nice stretch of weather. friday breezy, a mix of clouds and sun but dry, 62 degrees is your high. saturday we're up to 67 with sun and clouds. and 66, sunny and breezy on sunday. so, getting better this weekend. >> yeah, looks like it. thank you david. time right now is 6:41. more brand new stories are next including the side line football brawl that sacked the rest of the season for a group of players, even though they didn't have anything to do with the fight. karen. >> the accidents just keep coming in. a new one, this is westbound vine at broad street. watch for an accident involving this truck and yet avenue. details when "action news"
