denver. he knows his character off the field but he still has questions about tebow's football abilities. >> it's the football side of thing that he struggled at. a lot of it has been -- he's getting some coaching in the locker room, getting good quarterback coaching, this off season he's doing something with tom brady's quarterback coach. his problem is not being able to take that onto the playing field. when he gets on the playing field he revertz back to the old. maybe he's changed some of that stress. we'll see. once >> timhere tebow will be reunited with mark sanchez. the two played together with the jets. he'll be reunited with his college teammate at the university of florida one riley cooper. more later here on 6abc. back to you guys in the studio. >> ducis thanks very much. as ducis mentioned eagles made it official just before 4 o'clock today. just seconds ago they tweeted

he got picked up by the broncos and paid for the jets. after that his career appeared to flounder and instead he became a media personality all the while still working on his quarterback arm. now, could this be another chance? >> when is the last time he played? >> i heard the rumor. >> reporter: what do you think? >> i think he shouldn't come here. how can we use tim tebow? >> very shocked. going through my twitter feed last night and saw tim tebow signing in philadelphia. >> reporter: who could forget tebow mania that followed the 27-year-old and his habit of kneeling to pray after he scores. aka tebowing. and how will that be received at the linc? >> philadelphia fans wouldn't even accept that. they boo santa claus. come on. would you think they would go for the tebow magic? tebow is a nice guy, he does a lot of nice things he's a christian brother and i go along with

for the bulk of our viewing area until 10 o'clock. severe thunderstorm watches down to the south. atlanta also under a tornado watch. so, zooming in all the activity will come from the south and the west. washington, d.c. there are a few scattered thunderstorms but if you look at roanoke virginia there is a line of some thunderstorms out ahead of it you see the orange. those are the severe thunderstorm warnings and we did have some reds over north carolina. those are the tornadoes warnings. so, as this system gets closer to us we'll likely see more activity develop. the problem is the warm air and the sunshine. when you have a cold front approaching from the west, you really don't want to see the sunshine and we have plenty of it in philadelphia right now. 76 degrees. it's a humid day. that helped add feud to the fuel. dover 77 and millville 74 degrees. that warm front has not lifted north of allentown and berks county quite yet. the temperatures there still in the 60's. so the national weather service has posted a tornado watch for most of our viewing area until 10 o'clock. not along the coast where we have a more stable air mass

and not for the poconos where it's cooler. what a watch means is that conditions are favorable for severe storms. that could spawn an isolated tornado. it is not a warning. a warning means that you have to take cover immediately. if we do have tornado warnings we'll cut into programming right away and your storm tracker six alert will go off. the soaking rain lifted over new england. with those breaks of sunshine that's why we have that tornado watch and this morning right in time for the morning commute, we had a soaking rain. generally one to 2 inches of rain wilmington more than 2-inches. that now is up to the north and now we're watching the storm. so, future tracker showing around 7 o'clock tonight some scattered thunderstorms possibly severe to our west, still around by 10:30. in the wee hours of the morning you could hear a rumble of thunder probably not severe but a few more strong storms likely but the good news is the morning rush hour we'll see actually very quiet conditions, partly sunny

skies and temperatures will be mild tomorrow. so, tomorrow will be a beautiful day. so the four day at 4:00 showing tomorrow breezy and sunny, 68 degrees. enjoy it. wednesday clouds roll in, some showers developing in the afternoon, 65 degrees and then the bottom drops off with temperatures on thursday, the high only 57 degrees and friday despite a good amount of sunshine temperatures well below normal, the high only 56 degrees. i'll talk about if we can warm things up at all as we head to the weekend coming up in the full accuweather 7-day forecasts. >> thanks cecily. >> thanks. >> much more ahead coming up on health check a new study that may get you considering plastic surgery. why researchers say going under the knife may make women appear more likable. >> first a seconds chance for nonviolent felons. the so-called sentence of hope they received today from philadelphia's district attorney.

this is when we actually already have the severe storms in our region. so, again, it's a tornado watch, not a warning. this is why. double scan live showing across our viewing area we don't have anything going on right now. there's one little cell west of lancaster a shower, but that's it but a wider view on double scan live showing there's a cold front that's moving into western pennsylvania. there's a warm front over us and if you look to the south and west where we have that wedge of warm air this is where we're seeing those severe thunderstorms developing and they are all tracking our way. so the best timing will be about 5 o'clock for our far western suburbs until about 10 o'clock, likely a broken line of scattered thunderstorms moving from the southwest to the northeast with the potential that some of these will be severe, so that's why that tornado watch is in effect. i'll talk more about what to expect tonight and a big chill later this week coming up in the full accuweather forecast. that's later on in "action news." shirleen.

he's married to a money man with whom he has a child says yes, this is personal. he's sick of changing their daughter on the bathroom floor. but he says it's also about getting other dads to "pick up the slack in parenting which would mean shirleen, no more diaper free dinners out for dads. the bill, by the way is up for vote in new york later this month and of course we'll keep you posted. >> this relates you to more than anybody else. >> i'm the father of twins so i never get a break anyway. there's always a diaper to be changed. >> there's no escaping it. >> never. >> okay, thank you brian. let's send it over to matt pelman in the "action news" traffic center with an upday. luckily you don't have to deal with that right now. >> not yet, no that's right shirleen. i wanted to pamper you with a nice drive home this evening but unfortunately we can't escape these delays on the roadways either. this is 422 westbound side just starting to stack from this point at 23 on out to oaks, maybe talking a little extra volume on 422 today because, yeah, route 23 is now closed in schuylkill township

chester county. we've been warning you for weeks that it was going to happen. today was the day shut down over pickerring creek until later on this year so many, 422, egypt road, route 29 all taking detouring traffic and expect all of them to be busier than normal. by the way if you use 29 down to the turnpike keep in mind that interchange there at the turnpike is an e-z pass only interchange. we'll be watching that in the months ahead. this afternoon watching a crash in bucks county close to street road by mac motors and the v.f.w. post. on the big picture at this point we're drying out. it's mostly just normal heavy delays on 95 and the schuylkill. also some construction in east falls and manayunk this afternoon has been blocking portions of ridge avenue like the eastbound side by the arthur ashe youth tennis center. i would avoid ridge. stay on henry as an alternate. in delaware working on a crash in new castle county along 100 at 141 barley mill road. as we told you a bit ago the

ramp which churchman's road to 95 is blocked. we'll check it again brian and shirleen coming up in the 5 o'clock hour. >> very good. meteorologist cecily tynan back with the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast coming up.

>> ♪♪ >> meteorologist cecily tynan along. a beautiful moment out there right now, a lot of sunshining but that's going to change. >> yeah, when you have a cold front approaching from the west, the sunshine is something you really don't want to see. if you have clouds and it stays cool you don't get severe weather. when you get the sunshine it's warm, it's humid that helps add the fuel. >> yikes. >> to the fire but storm tracker six live double scan showing that we don't have any storms imminent. right now the only activity is an isolated shower near manheim lancaster county and we are live on sky six.

this is our temple university sky six camera looking towards the northwest and you can see good amount of sunshine with some of those building cumulus clouds as the atmosphere really begins to destabilize and the storm systems get closer and closer to us. right now temperatures really tell the story. it's 76 degrees in philadelphia. it's humid with dewpoints in the 60's. dover 77. wilmington 75. allentown and reading that warm front has not advanced to the north yet. the temperatures still in the 60 and along the shore with temperature in the visits this is why shore points are not under that tornado watch because you have a very stable air mass and dewpoints do show that it is on the humid side, philadelphia 63 the dewpoint wilmington 64, dewpoint in the 50's along the shore. so the tornado watch is in effect until 10 o'clock tonight. what this means is that the atmosphere is favorable that severe storms could spawn an isolated tornado.

it's not a warning. if we do have warnings i'll pass them on to you and that's when you have to take shelter. double scan live showing the bigger picture for that warm front moving north. we get that warm push of humid air and then that cold front is moving out of the ohio valley towards western pennsylvania, so you have to look to the south and west for storms. we have a few near washington d.c. more intense line near roanoke, virginia and they will gradually move closer to us. so, future tracker showing around 7:30 tonight the western suburbs under the gun with some strong storms, possibly severe. 10:30 moving across south jersey and delaware. we'll probably still have some activity in the wii hours of the morning. at this point they will likely not be severe. they could be strong but then everything clears out in time for the morning commute tomorrow. so, what are we talking about the threat? the main threat, the highest threat heavy downpours with all that community in the air, it can squeeze out some very heavy rain in a short period of time. we also have a moderate threat of lightning strong winds

hail and again even the possibility of some isolated tornadoes. the good news is tomorrow this system is off shore, high pressure building in. it will be a windy day but it will be dry. lots of sunshine and mild with a high of 68 degrees. tomorrow could be the nicest day of the work week. so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow breezy and sunny and mild, 68 degrees. on wednesday clouds build and afternoon showers 65 degrees and thursday a cold air mass. cold for this time of year, 57 degrees more clouds than sun. friday temperatures remain below normal, 56 degrees. saturday we recover a little bit, clouds with some sunshine 59. sunday partly sunny 60 and monday sun mixing with clouds with a-of 62 degrees. the good news is the weekend will be dry but not nearly as warm. last saturday made it up to 81 degrees like summer. now we'll be in the 50's, around 60 for the weekend. >> i got used to the 81. >> that was nice. >> we'll get it again

something in lilly pulitzer. they came they shopped and the lucky ones conquered. shop ertz lining up at target stores across the can't tree couldn't wait to get their hands on the super store's newest collaboration with lilly pulitzer. >> the biggest appeal is you're getting access to a high end designer at a really low price. >> the beach wear and accessories sold out within hours. shoppers tweeting their defeat. don't call it a collection if it will only be available for five minutes on one day. that's called a flash sale. customers complaining about issues with target's web site as soon as the 250 piece collection debuted. >> up all night this is what you get. so frustrating. >> kristen davis tweeting her troubles. what is happening? target apologizing for the web site delays saying we know you're frustrated and we're sorry. >> when i saw this big activity early in the morning they shut the site down around

3 a.m. eastern time for about 15 minutes to keep the site from crashing. >> and it's not just target cashing in. many customers already posting their purchases to ebay at huge markups like this navy shift dress $38 at target, now one dollar on ebay. but for the lilly lovers, ebay is your last shot at getting the goods. target says it does not anticipate more items becoming available. and that same target spokesman called the ebay markup really disappointing. >> people trying to make a profit off those sales. >> absolutely. >> that will do it for "action news" at 4:00 today. for shirleen allicott alicia vitarelli adam joseph and cecily i'm brian taff. shirleen and i along with ducis rodgers back tonight for a fuel hour of "action news" at 10:00 on phl17. >> now here are rick williams and monica malpass. >> coming up meteorologist cecily tynan with the latest from accuweather on the threat for severe storms across our
