there is some rain out to the west in association with the front that's on its way here but that's fairly light and probably not getting here until later tonight, maybe even until the overnight hours. this morning clouds will build but we're fairly comfortable on the ground we just ticked up to 54 degrees in philadelphia, 43 in allentown. still kind of cool up in the leaf. 48 in -- in the lehigh valley. as we head out the door to starter that you car or maybe catch the school bus, between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock looks like we'll be in the low to mid-50's, not too bad, winds on the light side, partly cloudy and cool. as we roll through the day these guys said it, one more mild one for you. 60 by 9:00, 65 by noon, 67 by 3 o'clock. i think the 68-degree high is probably going to slide in around 2 o'clock right there and then 61 degrees by 6 o'clock. rain is on the way tomorrow. i'll have the latest on future tracker 6, karen. >> all right, dave, let's check the traffic for you. burlington bristol bridge scheduled to go up very shortly, about 5:20 so stick to the turnpike connector instead as you're headed out

the door at this early hour you'll have traffic stops right there and traffic blocking the right lane and that's because of construction out here on the pennsylvania turnpike. this is westbound just past the connector bridge. so, watch for that. you'll be heading for that if you take the connector bridge instead. in hilltown township, we've got this accident. we had been waiting for police to be on the scene. they pushed it off to the shoulder. your lane is back opened on 309 southbound just past 113. let's take a live look outside. looking pretty good. it's early. we're in king of prussia. this is 202 at the schuylkill. the overnight construction is clear. all lanes opened. good shot of the road surfaces, clear and dry with no issues as you head out the door. west chester 202 northbound reopened now that the construction is cleared as well. matt and tam. >> thank you karen. investigators released new video and it shows the clearest image yet of the man police are calling a person of interests in the violent kidnapping of a philadelphia woman. "action news" reporter katherine scott is live at northwest detectives with the latest developments. good morning, katherine. what do we know? >> reporter: well, good morning, tam. and the reward in this case

has been growing. at this point it's at $47,000. detectives here at the northwest division want to hear from you if you have any tips then do have some fresh leads. as loved ones held a candlelight vigil and prayed for the safe return of 22 year old carlesha freeland-gaither the investigation into her abduction moved full steam ahead. we have a better picture of a person of interest. it was can cherd -- captured inside a convenience store in aberdeen maryland. this is about the time this man used her debit card. fbi agents were on the ground searching for this video and other evidence. we're seeing the first moments when freeland-gaither came into contact with her abductor on sunday night. he reached his hand out to her on the 5400 block of green street. you see her slowly back away. the man thend at her and forced her down west outer street against her will. >> the video is so stark and

gets her attention he used a lot of force and he was very brutal how he took her down the street. >> reporter: freeland-gaither's family says they moved from maryland several years ago and she left behind an obsessed boyfriend. police need more about the confirm they have leads and persons of interest including this man. >> he just was aggressive. he didn't show any other signs of anything else. he was just aggressive. i just told her to stay away from him. >> reporter: the 22-year-old nursing assistant works at presbyterian hospital. her family just wants her home. >> she was always there for anybody and everybody. no matter what. >> reporter: and we have all that video poster for you on our web site, 6abc.com so you can log on there to take another look. we're live in fern rock, katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> all right, katherine, thanks. pennsylvania voters toss their chief executive out of office. tom wolf a millionaire running for office for the first time soundly defeated incumbent governor tom corbett. erin o'hearn joins us live at the big board with more on

this. >> pennsylvania being one of the few big victories for democrats last night. tom wolf won by a comfortable margin winning almost 55 percent of the vote and tom corbett made history but probably not in the way he had hoped. corbett has become the first governor to lose reelection in the state's modern history. wolf a businessman and first time candidate spent $10 million of his own money on an early tv ad campaign that endeared him to voters and last night he drove to his victory rally in his hometown of york in that trademark jeep. he promised supporters that public education will be his top agenda. >> our ancestors realized that education was the key to a strong citizenship, to a strong democracy, to a strong economy, to strong families and we needed to invest in that. we need to make sure that we resurrect that idea here in pennsylvania and make sure that education is at the top of the list, not the bottom. [cheers and applause] >> now, when wolf takes office in january, he will face a

republican controlled legislature and a budget deficit as he tried to make good on that promise to dramatically increase the state government's share of school costs. coming up at 5:30 we'll break down some of the national races which contributed to the big change in the political landscape we woke up to this morning. matt, back to you. >> erin we'll see you then. thanks. head to 6abc.com for more election coverage. we have posted results in all of the races that matter to you. >> one ticket matched all six numbers in last night's mega millions drawing. the estimated $321 million jackpot was won in new york and one winning matched five tickets worth a million was sold in new jersey. now here are the numbers. 15, 24, 41, nine, 39 and that mega ball is one. >> all right. so, a little more summer-like stuff today and then fall back. >> basically comes back, yeah. storm tracker 6 live double scan shows you we're dry to start out. we're expecting a little bit of sunshine later on this

morning to come in off the horizon but then those clouds get thicker as the day goes on. there's the shore. that's one of the spots that might get some of those early rays of sun. as we take a look at conditions across the region right now, we will start you out with a couple highlights. today is going to be mild and dry. clouds will increase but we'll stay dry and fairly comfortable and then tomorrow it gets cooler and rainy. now the details. right now in philadelphia we're going for a temperature of 54 degrees. doesn't feel all that bad out there with winds light. 53 is your current number in trenton. still 48 in wilmington and up in allentown, 43 but 53 down the pike in reading. 51 in millville and 54-degree readings down the shore. satellite again shows you how there is a little bit of thinning of the clouds close to home right now but then these thicker clouds start to dig in as the day goes on and generally speaking we're expecting morning sunshine to give way to gradually increasing clouds. this rain out to the west is going to fall apart before it gets here. later in the overnight hours we'll wind up with some of

that rain popping in, though. in allentown, increasing clouds today, still mild for this time of year, 65 degrees. jacket weather but not too bad. down the shore clouds will increase as we go through the day as well, a high of 66 degrees, on the cool side but still pretty nice down along the boardwalks. and in philadelphia we're going for a high of 68. that's also above average for this time of year. sun giving way to more clouds during the day. mild and winds running about eight to 16 miles per hour which really isn't all that bad. and then tomorrow morning future tracker 6 showing you how by the time we're on the air, we may start to see some showers, maybe even a little bit of steady rain during the morning commute. during the day it looks like we may get into a lull where there's just sort of off and on shower activity and then tomorrow night, some more showers coming in. we're backing off on the total amount of rainfall. originally it was looking like maybe 1 to 2 inches, now more like a half inch to an inch. still when the rain is coming down steadily at times tomorrow you might want to be careful of backed up storm drains because of all the leaves in play. 68 degrees is your high today, sun will give way to clouds but we're dry.

and then overnight tonight we get the rain. tomorrow cloudy with periods of rain off and on, a high of 61. it will be cooler. and friday windy, basically cloudy, a high of 55 and there might be a couple of lingering showers around. on saturday looks like we start out with sun and then give way to increasing clouds a heads of yet another system, 52 is the high. and sunday's a little bit on the bubble. it looks mostly cloudy with a high of 55. we'll probably see some sprinkles and showers around but there's a decent chance that the steadier rain will stay off the coast because our problem on zinn is going to be a coastal low pressure system and some of the models are suggesting it's far enough away where all we get is a shower. either way on monday sun returns, monday night football looks cool but dry. and veterans day looking a little bit better with lies in the upper visits. >> sounds good. thank you david. >> 5:09. voters in new jersey give a rising democratic star a full term in the senate and go against the national trend on election day. >> newly released documents show how accused cop killer eric frein evaded capture from

in lower merion, whitemarsh township, king of prussia, whitpain we can look at all the suburbs with the waze app and i'm not seeing anybody report any problems. quiet start to the day. rockhill road remains closed right there near lower merion but that's not going to cause you too much of a problem. let's talk right now about the temperatures. 52 degrees in quakertown, 53 in warrington, feeling pretty good. 51 degrees in center city. normally an overnight low this time of year would be about 42 so pretty mild out there in the overnight hours. 55 in cinnaminson, 55 in woodbine and 52 right now in dover, delaware. we're dry today. so no weather related problems, tam. >> okay, we'll enjoy that. thank you karen. republicans have taken control of the u.s. senate. there's been a stunning route of democrats in the midterm elections. that turn about did not extends to new jersey where democratic senator cory booker repeated republican jeff bell. booker says he's going back to washington to improve life for new jersey residents by working together with
