as we head outside to catch that school bus over the next couple of hours comfortable partly cloudy, 63 degrees by 6 o'clock, 66 by 8:00 a.m. the farther north you go the more clouds you're going to see, the farther south the better chance you have of some early sunshine. philadelphia somewhere in between. it does look like it's going to be warm again today but not as warm as yesterday. we'll see a high of 76 degrees and i actually think that's going to slot in fairly early in the afternoon, say 1:30 or 2 o'clock and then we're down to 75 by 3 o'clock and 70 by 6 o'clock. also the pollen counter is still running in the medium high range. i want to give you a heads up that over the next several days straight into the weekend we're back into the official high range so keep those medications handy if you suffer from allergies. what are the roads looking like early on karen. >> damp at times when a couple showers moved through. mostly dry on the schuylkill at montgomery drive but with those showers that could move through in a couple of spots we'll look for that later. a little touch of fog in one or two spots as well. looking good right here on the schuylkill expressway. on the big picture, the early morning construction we had on the vine westbound is cleared so good news there where track

is moving nicely. east falls a problem its an accident off to the side but watch for it on aborts ford avenue right near fox street. that's causing an issue. an accident involving a deer has cleared on 313. everything is moving better in bedminster township. downed wires causing a problem. elwyn road shut down near middletown road. an accident blocks the right lane but it also blocks the ramp to market street on 42 southbound approaching 295 so that one could cause you problems in new jersey, matt. >> thank you karen. let's begin with breaking news. detectives are questioning two men who were both wounded in a shootout in north philadelphia overnight. a third man was killed. police found that man with multiple gun shots lying near sixth and clearfield streets. nearly three dozen shell casings littered the street. two parked cars were also shot up. the two survivors are being held under suspicion of weapon possession. police say they recovered

"action news" reporter erin o'hearn is live in our satellite center. she's got that update. good morning erin. >> reporter: good morning, tam. disturbing reports emerging that may indicate just how

premeditated andres lube -- lubitz's actions were. a source close to france's investigating agency say the 27-year-old may have practiced descending on another flight the same day as the crash. that report is apparently due out today and it will outline these recent findings. the report is expected to talk about lubitz flying to barcelona the same day as the crash on an earlier flight and he constructed a "controlled descent that lasted for minutes for which there was no aeronautical justification." lubitz suffered from severe depression in the past an computer found in his home showed he used the internet to search ways of committing suicide in the days leading up to the crash. prosecutors also found torn up sick notes at his home showing he should not have flown the day of that fatal flight. again, there are reports that the germanwings co-pilot practiced his descent on a flight the same day as he

crashed that flight into the french alps. of course if we get official word from france's agency today we'll bring it to you this morning and of course on 6abc.com. we're live in the satellite center erin o'hearn, channel6 "action news." tam. >> thank you. doctors will try to remove a bullet lodged in an eight-year-old girl's head. police think she was the victim of a road rage shooting. an fly ya' curry has been in the hospital since saturday night. the family double-parked their car outside their home on the 5400 block of haverford avenue. an fly ya' and her sisters were in the back seat. officials say it appears her father wasn't moving fast enough for the driver of a black van who fired one shot and that struck her in the back of the head. >> this is a serious incident and she's still in pain right now and she could have died. >> she's eight years old. she didn't deserve it. she didn't.

she's a good child. >> police believe two people were in that black sedan and they're looking for surveillance video and tips. >> david you're watching these itsy bitsy little cells out in the western suburbs. >> most out west right now yeah, right matt. storm tracker six live double scan shows you the harder of the region is drive. showers in the poconos and by lancaster a couple small cells on their way here. may fall apart before they get here. i think at some point probably around end of the morning rush hour we'll see something popping in from the west. as we take a look outside we have fairly cloudy conditions across the region. karen has been tracking a little bit of low lying cloud cover that's form something low visibility in spots, although here at the airport no problems reported. as we get one of our southwest planes taxiing away from the gate. temperatures 66 degrees currently, dewpoint is 62. it feels a little bit muggy out there but these are pretty comfortable numbers overall and the winds right now are very light, in the single digits across the region. as we take a look at future tracker six you can see how during the morning hours especially toward the end of the morning rush hour the

model wants to bring in some showers and maybe even a thunderstorm. we've caught one lightning bolt out on the other side of harrisburg from one of those cells so far this morning and then as this passes through we get up to lunchtime and we're basically cloudy with maybe a few sunny breaks and a couple of lingering sprinkles. the rest of the afternoon looks dry with a mix of clouds and sun, a couple of other spits of shower activity particularly down south. as we roll through the day the big story is going to be how it's not quite as warm as it's been the last couple of days. 66 degrees by 8 o'clock, 74 by 11 o'clock. your high today is 76 at 2 o'clock, comfortable an tad above average but just not as warm as the last couple of cooking days when we got up into the mid 80's. by 5 o'clock we're still holding onto the low 70's. high temperatures across the region 69 degrees in allentown today, 70 in reading, 76 in both philadelphia and wilmington and in the upper 60's down along the shore. again, that spotty shower but clouds and sun most of the day. tomorrow high pressure sets up off the coast. that encourages more of a southerly flow and we wind up warming up to 81 tomorrow with that warmer southwest wind

kicking in. at the same time we're keeping our eyes to an area of low pressure that is likely to form down along the southeastern coast and this could actually wind up being classified as the first tropical system of the year. if it gets its name it will be ana -- n-a-and looks like it will probably shift off the coast or off to sea before it has a major effect on us. sunday maybe some additional clouds kicking in off the ocean from that. right now it's just a disorganized area of thunderstorms and showers and it's about a 20 percent chance over the next two days of something forming out of that. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, a spotty shower at times, warmer again tomorrow, 81 and for the dad vail regatta 85 on both friday and saturday. aberdeen dad vail regatta looking really good this year. on sunday mother's day 87 warm degrees. probably have to have that air conditioner on in the car if you're driving mom out to lunch and later in the day there's a chance of a pop-up shower or thunderstorm. monday, tuesday, also a little unsettled.
