accuweather and matt pelman to talk about your traffic. >> it's going to be another good looking day out there. as we roll into the afternoon there is the chance of slightly higher humidity. as we take a look at satellite this morning though, very little cloud cover around and most of what you see out to the west will tend to stay away from us. we'll get a little sweep of clouds every now and then. sunburn alert today. with all that sun expected u.v. index is running high. remember you can have a sunburn even when the clouds blocking that sun out. it can still get through the clouds that uv -- ultraviolet ray. between the hours of 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock is when you have the worst chance or best chance i guess really of getting a burn. 66 degrees in philadelphia, not humid, comfortable heading outside. 63 in allentown, 63 in wilmington, 62 in sea isle city with that breeze gently out of the south. as we head out to the bus stop, 65 by 6 o'clock warming up to 70 by 8 o'clock. mainly clear. obviously comfortable to start out. welcome back to school kids, we're getting close to wrapping up that school year aren't we.

side. so far it's not so bad. starting to watch some of that volume build in headed up towards 295. if you can get out now, you should avoid the major jams. once you come across the walt whitman bridge you're doing okay here on the schuylkill expressway. but i'm a little bit concerned the traffic lights right up here along 34th at grays ferry avenue are out of commission this morning. they're dark. you have to treat the intersection like a four-way stop. they've been working on them but if they don't get them fixed we'll see backups that could spill back onto the schuylkill expressway. still have that row home fire in strawberry mansion blocking off diamond at 29th and maybe stick with cecil b. moore and 33rd as alternates. no major issues along 95 or the roosevelt boulevard and our crash in lower gwynedd along 309 northbound has cleared. everything has reopened there on this tuesday morning. matt. >> thank you matt. breaking right now, police are searching for three people who pulled off an overnight home invasion in northeast philadelphia. it happened on the 2100 block of tyson avenue just before 3 a.m. police say the three men broke

"action news" reporter vernon odom is live outside the police special victims unit.

vernon. >> reporter: good morning, matt. special victims is hunting for a sexual predator and home invasion suspect who they believe has struck twice now in the point breeze section of south philadelphia. his latest attack before sunup yesterday, memorial day. the first victim spoke exclusively with our own dann cuellar.

[speaking foreign language] >> the interpreter: he dropped his pants and motioned they wanted to have sex with me. i got really scared. [speaking foreign language] >> the interpreter: he grabbed me by the hair and throat. i thought he was going to kill me. >> reporter: she decided to try to fight him off. during the struggle the tv set in her bedroom fell to the floor making a lot of noise. the attacker fled.

police believe it may be the same man who broke into another woman's home a few blocks away in the 1800 block of rose wood. in this case, too, the woman awoke to find a man standing over her bed. he demanded money then sexually assaulted her before fleeing in her 2007 silver toyota which was recovered a few blocks away. >> just makes my stomach turn it's sad. it's horrific just hearing about it. like it's really grosses me out. it's disgusting. >> reporter: yesterday there was anger and unease in the neighborhood with the assailant still on the loose. police describe him as a black male about 5-foot nine, medium build. in both cases sources say he was wearing red or orange gloves. for her part, the victim in the first assault believes he lives somewhere in the neighborhood and worries he's still out there. [speaking foreign language] >> the interpreter: i don't want this to happen to any other woman. i am still very much in fear of this man and i hope they catch him soon. >> reporter: if you recognize the person in that

sketch or have other key information that might help police, call the special victims unit or 911 and they'll put you through. live in hunting park, vernon odom, channel6 "action news." >> thank you vernon. 5:36 now and new this morning, a rutgers football player has been arrested for a robbery in florida. 19-year-old darien dailey and another 19-year-old are accused of holding up a bicyclist at gun point in sarasota county on sunday. daily remains in jail. the football coach at rutgers says the team will take appropriate action once they review all of the facts in the case. >> now going on to texas where those waters continue to rise, those flood waters at this hour. the latest round of severe weather has spawned deadly tornadoes and flash flooding. many people unaccounted for. erin, some of these stories just really bring it home. >> your heart breaks when you see a picture of this young family tam. the holiday weekend turned tragic for two families who were in the area vacationing.

this is laura mccomb and her two children six-year-old andrew and four-year-old leighton. they are among 12 people missing. the husband was rescued from the river is that in the hospital recovering from serious injuries and mccomb's sister says that she -- that the family held hands as their vacation home floated down the river. now when it hit a bridge it broke in half and the family was separated. >> she called me she said i'm in a house i'm floating down the river, tell mom and dad i love you and pray. i think recognizing with what's happening with the weather, we all know and we have accepted the they're gone. >> reporter: so sad. recovery teams are set to resume looking for the 12 members of the two families but officially noted the search component was over meaning no survivors are expected to be found in the flood debris. governor greg abbott of texas was seen pleading with residents to obey evacuation

orders as he added 24 counties to his disaster declarations comparing these flood waters to a tsunami. authorities were also searching for victims and assessing damage across the texas-mexico border where a tornado monday killed 13 people and left at least five unaccounted for. just a tragic, tragic situation down there tam. >> erin though stories are heartbreaking. thank you. several people swept away by rough surf remain missing along the florida and gulf coast. dangerous rip tides are to blame in three deaths. more than 500 people have been res rescued. >> david what's going on. >> nice day today, more humid than yesterday as we get into the afternoon. storm tracker six double scan shows you we're drive. as we look outside we have sky six and there comes that sun a couple low lying cloud cover over by the coast but that sun will get above that real quickly and it looks like it will be another bright one today. 66 degrees currently in philadelphia, so far so good on the humidity.

it's not all that sticky out there. winds out of the south, a gentle breeze at 9 miles per hour. future tracker six shows that you as we go through the day we remain mainly sunny. during the afternoon there will be a couple of sweeps of clouds every now and then popping up and it doesn't look like there's much rain. if we see anything it's very likely well to the north and west of philadelphia, later in the evening hours just a couple of pop-up sprinkles maybe a rumble of thunder but not a big deal today. it will be a little bit more humid as the day goes on as i mentioned and it will be warm again this afternoon. 11:00, 79. 2 o'clock 86. that high of 88 late in the days, probably 3:45, 5 o'clock. still holding onto the mid 80's by 5 o'clock. slightly more humid a little breezy but overall not too bad. high temperatures up in the northern and western suburbs also warm. 88 in allentown, 89 in reading, 86 in lancaster, 87 in trenton low 80's down the shore for the second straight day. another nice day on the beach today. tomorrow there is a slight risk of some severe weather mainly in the poconos and

northern berks and northern lehigh and northampton counties. that's the way it looks right now. any storm that forms up there would have a fairly low chance but a chance nonetheless of producing damaging winds and maybe some hail. and there's always the chance that the storm speed restriction center in norman oklahoma which puts these things out every couple days will actually inch that closer to philadelphia as we go closer to tomorrow. in terms of when this happens future tracker six doesn't have much up through noon and through most of the afternoon but by 4 o'clock on the other side of the poconos and reading and allentown there may be something forming and then it looks like there's a chance of this coming all the way into philadelphia during the evening hours. the biggest issue for us down here below that yellow zone i just showed you will be drenching downpours and maybe some gusty winds ahead of any downpour. the farther north and west you go, the better chance you have of the damaging winds. in any event it looks like this goes off the map pretty quickly after sundown tomorrow. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, 88, warm and a bit more humid today. and then tomorrow, definitely more humid, 87 is the high and you have that chance late in

the day and evening of some drenching showers and thunderstorms, perhaps some of them with gusty winds. more clouds move into play on thursday a high of 83. that will lower the temperature a little bit. there's still the chance of a shower or thunderstorm around because of a front coming through but with all the clouds this is probably the better chance of strong stuff. nonetheless we'll have to look outer for something on thursday. then that front does get out of here and on friday and saturday we're back to partly sunny skies with highs ranging from the low to upper 80's those two days. on sunday, 81 degrees, more clouds a couple of showers and thunderstorms around. and then 75 with some rain possible monday. >> gotcha'. >> thank you, david. it is now 5:41. still ahead on "action news," a massive tanker fire shut down a major freeway in detroit. look at that picture. >> an oil company is stepping up efforts to clean up the oil spill along the california coastline and gives an estimate on how much oil is in the water. matt. >> smooth sailing through doylestown this morning here
