on this wednesday may 20th. let's find out what you can expect in accuweather with dave murphy and karen rogers of course is watching the roads. good morning. >> well, good morning and it's cool and comfortable out there today, too. we have a lack of any real significant cloud cover. just a couple little showers come through last night but that was it so we stayed mainly dry and this cloud cover out to the west is likely going to erode before it gets here so i'm expecting mainly sunny skies. starting out in good shape. 63 degrees currently in philadelphia. just 55 in allentown. cool up in reading and lancaster and trenton too, in the 50's in those spots and 62 in millville, 60 in wilmington. notice how the winds have shifted from the south where you draw that humid air from the northwest now and that's drier more comfortable air coming into the region. as you head out to the bus stop you might find it a little breezy out there at times between six and 8 o'clock. 59 degrees by 6 o'clock, 60 by 8:00 a.m. so a little bit on the cool side, maybe a light jacket a good idea. as we roll into the afternoon it's still going to be a little bit mild but a bit below average for this time of year. 61 by 9 o'clock, 66 by noon and then 3 o'clock 71 degrees

with a high of 72 probably slotting in around 3:30 or 4 o'clock before we're back into the upper 60's by dinnertime. in terms of pollen, we had that big break yesterday where everybody could breathe deep with no problems bless. today we're back up into the median high range and probably staying there right into the holiday weekend. karen we'll give you the late of the details on what things are looking like for the memorial day weekend coming up. >> all right dave. coming in from yardley or langhorne this is your ride. i-95 southbound at cottman looking good. we've got light volume, clear conditions roads are dry. what more can i give you? vine street expressway here past i-95 westbound you got to be careful as you come around this curve. we have a guy over here flat tire, guy off the side of the road so be watchful of that. it is off to the shoulder so not causing any big problem there. on the big picture schuylkill eastbound near 30th street we had construction there. it has since cleared. traffic moving nicely. your speeds are in good shape on all of your majors. no problems there. some construction in the process of clearing out on the northeast extension southbound near quakertown, northbound

and southbound approaching lansdale. three different crews out there and things looking better now with all lanes back opened. in bellmawr camden county, 295 northbound between 42 and route 30 construction here still blocks up to two lanes. and that's going to last until 6 o'clock. matt. >> thanks karen. we begin with a developing story t a neighborhood dispute led to a shooting and a brief police standoff in southwest philadelphia. police say the gunman was fighting with another man over a car and shot him in the foot. then police say the shooter ran into his house on windsor street and wouldn't come out. a swat team arrived and convinced the suspect to surrender. and philadelphia police are looking for the man who lured kids away from a skateboarding park so he could photograph their feet. it happened at pains park near the art museum on sunday may tenth. an 11-year-old boy waited to tell his parents about it because he was afraid he would be in trouble. the boy says the man offered him and his friends free sandwiches and cokes and in return the man took them to a grassy hill and photographed

their bare feet. we'll have mohr details in a live report in our next half hour. >> it could be a white knuckle commute for millions of americans whose vehicles are part of a record recall. drivers across the country are just now learning that their air bags are defective and in some places deadly. japan's takata corporation has agreed to expand its recall to include almost 34 million cars. these air bags can inflate with too much force sending shrapnel flying. six people have died and more than 100 people have been injured worldwide. 11 automakers use takata air bags including honda and toyota a spokesperson says even if you get in line for repairs it could take months, maybe 18 years. >> there's going to be a backlog of these parts with this many vehicles being affected so there's one major manufacturer that is producing these air bags and they only can ramp up so much. >> you can go to a government web site to enter your vehicle identification number to find out if your car is part of this recall. we've set up a link to that page on our site, 6abc.com.

the day, 3:30, 4 o'clock and then 70 by 5 o'clock. so, a big change not as warm as yesterday. not as humid as well and breezy and comfortable. 68 degrees is your high in allentown. 69 in reading, 69 in trenton. down the shore 69 in ac all the way down to cape may and mainly sunny skies across the region and everybody dealing with that breeze. tomorrow we've got an area of low pressure that's going to be heading off the coast over southern virginia and north carolina. this will be close enough to us however to produce some cloud cover and that will help keep us cooler. plus we're going to have a breeze coming in off the ocean that will aid and abet cooler conditions. we'll probably see high temperatures in the 60's from north to south across the region. by 10 o'clock in the morning kind of cloudy. then the other issue is because of that southern system there could be a couple showers developing over south jersey and southern delaware probably below philadelphia and wilmington and fairly light but that's because of that southern low. and that continues into the early evening hours. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast today no such

problem. 72 degrees breezy, cooler, lots of sun overall. then tomorrow cloudy and cool, a high of 67. the farther north you are through the region say up in the lehigh valley or areas north of the turnpike, the better chance you see -- you have of seeing a little bit of sun and it might be a little milder up north but it's cloudy cool, and showers south of philadelphia. breezy and warmer then on friday getting up to 78, lots of sun and for the holiday weekend, 71, sunny and nice in philadelphia on saturday. probably stuck in the mid 60's down the shore but it will still be a good looking day. and then 78 partly sunny on sunday with a few more clouds digging in as the day goes on and down the shore i would think you're probably getting into the low 70's in the afternoon. on monday, we get up to 82 in philadelphia. somewhere in the mid 70's down the shore in all likelihood. there's the chance of a spotty storm in the afternoon and evening so you'll want to keep your eyes out for that if you have plans on being outdoors memorial day. most of you probably do. but i would keep an eye on radar and of course your storm tracker six app, that will be a great day to have that
