what do a nascar® driver... a comedian... and a professional golfer have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more ea sily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding

if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleedin g, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not tak e xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any kidney liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

woman: i was tired of my chronic constipation and the way it made me feel the discomfort the bloating the straining. i'd just felt this way for too long. so i finally talked to my doctor about my symptoms. i'd tried laxatives before. he prescribed amitiza (lubiprostone) for my chronic constipation. it works differently than laxatives. man: amitiza is clinically shown to help relieve common symptoms like bloating abdominal discomfort hard stools, and straining and help people with chronic constipation go more often. don't take amitiza, if you have a bowel blockage

or severe diarrhea. tell your doctor, if your nausea or diarrhea, becomes severe, or if you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath. the most common side effects are nausea diarrhea, and headache. woman: amitiza helped me find relief from my chronic constipation. ask your doctor if amitiza is right for you. as far as sunshine it could be towards the end of the week. >> there could be sunny breaks and i would say friday is the next sunny day as we look at stormtracker 6 live double scan we are looking at clouds and some showers if i go in a little bit tighter on this, you see

just outside of philadelphia straight up to allentown unreading, at what is nuisance rain but as you get into the areas highlighted in yellow west of the allentown and hamburg that is slightly steadier rain and that is pushing up and away from our area. down south just spotty precipitation. where you don't see the grown you may see drizzle, as we take a look outside, cloudy skies of course across the region including in center city, we look across the river beyond the ben franklin bridge toward camden and northeast philadelphia 55 degree you may want to grab a jacket probably for the rest of the afternoon the winds north-northeast at 15 miles per hour, the dew point is below the 60 degree margin, that doesn't feel all that humid out there but on the damp side, 55

in wilmington and 54 in trenton and 57 in millville and all of these cool numbers accompanied by the dank feel and also a bit a breeze dropping down from the northeast, here is the breeze, 14 miles per hour and down the shore, single digits the idea is there is cool air coming down from the northeast and we aren't going to add a well lot to the temperatures, record rainfall in spots, 1.9 inches and 3.8 in wilmington and over 2 inches in atlantic city. all of these record one day rainfalls for june 1st since we were taking records that goes back quite a ways. in terms of rain the rest of the way, it wants to try us out after 3:00, the rest of the evening looks cloudy with perhaps some drizzle or showers. we won't be able to shake the cool air though or the dank feel, up in the lehigh valley

around 60 neighbors close to allentown in the upper 50s and spotty shower can't be ruled out and down the shore a spotty shower and a high of the same story, low 60s and not much different at the shore in philadelphia, a high of 61 and cloudy and cool and drizzle and 54 is the jove night low with spotty rain overnight and fog developing by morning, taking a quick look at the evening commute, we have temperatures on or about 60 with the shower activity continuing, if you head to the phillies, temperatures hold to the upper 50s throughout that game against the reds. some neighborhoods are holding in the 50s and tomorrow cool and 68, and normal chance of a spotty shower around south of philadelphia, but the farther north you go toward the lehigh valley better chance of seeing the sun yes breaking tomorrow afternoon and thursday we have mostly cloudy skies again

because the system looks to stall nearby and 69 and showers and friday a mix of sun and clouds and a late day thunderstorm and 80 on saturday back to the 70s on sunday. >> so there is a golf course in allentown i believe. >> too bad the weather is not nicer today today is national leave the office earlier day. it encourages employees to get their work done in less time and spend the time with family and friends. the keyword is it's unofficial. see if your company observes the holiday before making any plans. >> i'm staying here and much more ahead in the next half hour on "action news" at noon, a woman in chester county is accused of stealing a world famous photographer's work and how police say she was able to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. >> details on what caused this truck to sink to the bottom of the ocean. those stories and more next.
