some clouds, severe weather out to the west is now done and we are going to look at some changes today. temperatures this morning 67 degrees in philadelphia. 62 in allentown. 63 in millville. doesn't look too bad temperature-wise but when you consider the dewpoints are still well above 60, in the mid 60's in much of the region it's still a bit on the humid side as you step outside this morning. and that goes for the bus stop as well. temperatures on the bus stop this morning under partly cloudy skies 67 by 6 o'clock 70 by 8:00 a.m. still a bit muggy but as we go through the day a couple of changes in store. first of all it's going to be very warm. 70 by 8 o'clock, by noon 85 and then we get a high of 80 degrees at 3 o'clock. strong blustery winds building but as the numbers go up the humidity is actually going to drop and it will feel more comfortable across most of the region as we get later into the after and noon evening. karen rogers big changes for tomorrow with temperatures going (whistle). >> i like the sound effects.

later on the traffic will go downhill but not yet. we're off to a good start because it's too early and not too many people out and about. construction crews have left the scene on i-95 southbound. they were blocking the two right lanes up ahead. here we're looking live near penn's landing and we see in problems at this point on i-95. on the big picture tacony palmyra bridge we had the overnight construction there. it has since cleared. things looking better. spruce street will close today and that's between 34th and 40th from 6:30 this morning to 8 o'clock and that's because of it is penn's moveout day today and tomorrow. you'll have to stick to walnut or sansom instead. we have a water main break that's causing a problem here and we're watching it at pine town road near highland avenue so look for this one in upper dublin montgomery county and on the turnpike eastbound near fort washington we had some construction there that cleared but the water main break is new so watch for that. we've got the water company on the scene trying to fix. that we had an accident in east vincent township in chester county. that has cleared now as well so you're good to go early

this morning matt and tam. >> thank you karen. and this is breaking this morning. an earthquake struck nepal overnight killing at least four people and injuring many more and causing buildings to collapse. it comes less than three weeks after a quake devastated large areas of that himalayan nation. the u.s. gs says the earthquake was centered about 50 miles east of kathmandu. this is near mount everest. that's where it was. in a remote area of eastern nepal near the border with china. a 7.8 quake hit nepal on april 25th. that one killed more than 8,000 people. we'll have full report just ahead at 5:30. and also this morning police are looking for suspects in the attack on a school bus in west philadelphia. this happened just as special needs students were heading home from the school of the future.

at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of involving the release of air from patriot game balls. and the nfl told brady your actions clearly constitute conduct detrimental to the integrity of the public confidence in the game of professional football. brady himself has said very little about the nfl's report but the new england patriots chairman said the report was based on circumstantial evidence. the patriots are also being fined $1 million and are losing two draft picks. two staffers accused of deflating the game balls are being suspended indefinitely. now back in january brady denied guilt after the balls in question were used in the afc championship game against the indianapolis colts. brady denied guilt. during the nfl's investigation though officials say he was not totally forthcoming. >> he impeded the progress and the process of the investigation. this will be part of his legacy as well.
