>> breaking now on "action news," another major earthquake has hit nepal. new video and reports of the death and destruction are just coming in. >> a watchdog group says governor chris christie racked up quite an entertainment tab on the taxpayer's dime. >> accuweather is tracking one more hot, humid start to our day before things get better and the temperatures drop later. >> good morning, it's 5:30 on this tuesday may 12th. let's go over to david and karen. david you say do the exercise this afternoon. it will get better. >> yeah, it's going to be warmer later today so you'll need cool drinks but you're right, tam, the humidity is actually going to lower as the day goes on. satellite shows you how the cloud cover is breaking up a bit locally. there comes that front overnight but it really falls apart as it heads into about central pennsylvania and we're looking at dry conditions with a mix of clouds and sun today. 66 degrees as you head out the door in philadelphia currently, 62 in allentown, 62 millville but like yesterday the dewpoints are up in the 60's, a little bit better than yesterday but 63 here, 64 in wilmington, 62 in millville.

just a tad humid out there. as we go out to the bus stop this morning you may still feel a little bit of that humidity in play. partly cloudy skies, a bit muggy, 67 by 6 o'clock and by 8 o'clock, 70 degrees. but as we head through the day we are looking at several types of changes. first of all, it's going to be warmer. we'll get all the way up to a high of 88 degrees right there at 3 o'clock. you can see how those numbers climb. the winds are going to pick up during the afternoon but at the same time we get past lunchtime and the humidity is gradually going to begin to drop and get a little bit more comfortable. we also have pollen counts running high today but the latest forecast is suggesting that there's a little bit of a drop-off in that tomorrow. still probably a good idea to keep the meds handy all week long. karen we'll be back with big changes in that seven day starting tomorrow. for now what are the roads looking like. >> looking pretty good right here. this is 95 at allegheny. as i step aside you can see the traffic. that's southbound traffic headed towards center city with no problems. overnight construction is cleared past penn's landing so good to go on i-95. tacony palmyra bridge

scheduled to go up in about another 15 minutes. still seeing traffic move okay at this point but i would head to the betsy ross bridge if you're just about to get out. spruce street closed today. it's penn moveout today and tomorrow. this is from 6:30 this morning until 8 o'clock tonight. so, instead of spruce between 34th and 40th you just want to use walnut or sansom but this is also going to affect septa bus routes 40 and 42. they'll need to be detoured through that area so give yourself a little extra time if you're planning on taking septa in region and penn wynne montgomery county route one city avenue southbound at haverford road a new accident coming in to us right now and a water main break in upper dublin that has pine town road near highland avenue making some restrictions here. stick to camp hill road as your alternate. >> thanks karen. breaking right now another major earthquake has hit nepal. an early reports have it nearly as strong as the one last month that killed more than 8,000 people. erin o'hearn has brand new video and information live from the satellite center.
