in trenton. and we're still running more or less around 70 degrees on the boardwalks at the shore. heading out this morning between six and 8 o'clock in philadelphia, a nice start. mild, 66 by 6 o'clock and 71 by 8 o'clock. so, temperatures climbing pretty quickly. and that will continue to be the pattern into the afternoon. 81 by noon. by 3 o'clock 86. that is going to be your high today. and then 81 by 6 o'clock. a bit more humid as the day goes on and there is that chance of thunderstorms any time after about lunchtime. want to remind you to plan ahead today because you're actually getting a whole extra second this afternoon. astronomers adding a second, a so-called leap second on this date because the earth's orbit is slowing slightly. i guess matt that means in a couple years trees will go flying off into space because the gravity will be -- >> it will be a mess. >> i don't think you have to worry about that but you need to adjust every now and then and that's what they're doing. today we get 86401 seconds. i know you're making plans. >> i'm going sleep.

a vehicle facing sideways but it's since cleared so schuylkill westbound past gulph mills both lanes opened now and looking pretty good right there. vine street expressway reopened at this point so no problem. the crews have left the scene. they'll return tonight again at 11 o'clock so we'll watch for those closures once again with construction on the vine. we've got an accident in monroeville gloucester county right on monroeville road at ridgewood road. you may see restrictions there. we're still killing dealing with problems in gloucester county from downed wires from storms that were a week ago. harmony road remains closed near swedesboro road. the ramp connecting to 95 to harmony road exit 17 remains closed. you can take exit 15 or 16. they have at least reopened, tam. >> thank you karen. and we start this morning with a developing story. a pregnant woman wounded in a double shooting and her unborn baby did not survive. katherine scott has got the latest. good morning katherine. >> reporter: good morning, tam. that's right, two people were

shot here last night, one of them was a woman who was around four months pregnant. her baby did not survive. the man who is believed to be her boyfriend and the father of that baby is in stable condition at the hospital. she is in critical condition. it happened over there right on the 7300 block of thouron avenue in west oak lane right by that utility pole. there was a car parked there and that's around where the shooting happened. that car has since been towed. witnesses told police they heard some sort of argument, then gun shots. when police arrived, she was sitting in the passenger seat of that car. the engine was still running. she had been shot in her lower back. the 46-year-old man was lying nearby on the sidewalk. he had been shot several times in both legs. police believe the shooting happened outside the car. after being shot they think the woman got in the front seat. investigators were here for hours overnight gathering evidence. >> based on ballistic evidence we know that at least four shots were fired from a large caliber semi-automatic weapon. we found four spender shell

casings on the sidewalk and in some bushes. >> reporter: two men were seen fleeing the scene but so far they don't have a detailed description of the suspect. police want to hear from you. if you have any tips t we are live in west oak lane, katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> katherine, thank you. and also new this morning an off duty philadelphia police officer suffered minor injuries in a nasty wreck. this happened on the 9500 block of germantown avenue in chestnut hill just after midnight. the vehicle nearly tipped over after hitting a tree and jumping the curb. the officer had to pull -- be pulled out of the wreckage. he's now in stable condition. >> ♪♪ >> and then there will be another one. happening today, new jersey governor chris christie will finally end all speculation and announce that he is running for president. "action news" reporter erin o'hearn is live at the big board with this story. erin. >> reporter: matt, the new jersey governor known for his blunt outspoken style is throwing his hat in the ring after years of will he or

won't he banter. the tilt like it is governor is expected to make his campaign official today at 11 o'clock at livingston high school perhaps because he was once president of the student body there. now, ahead of today's announcements this video was posted sunday and all but confirms his white house ambitions. >> ♪♪ >> i get accused a lot of times of being too blunt and too direct and saying what's on my mind just a little bit too loudly. >> reporter: now experts insist christie has a lot to every come in order to be a viable candidate for 2016 including a 30 percent approval rate as governor and the lingering 2013 bridgegate scandal. although legal authorities have found he was involved in the apparent act of political retribution, questions about christie's involvement have been damaging. he also faced criticism at home for the shut down of many atlantic city casinos that have punctured the state's economy and a pension system supported by crusty christie that

has billions in unfunded liabilities. one political expert says christie is a candidate who peaked in 2013 but it would be unwise to count him out now. >> i think in the darkest moments of bridgegate many observers thought that perhaps this was an administration that was over and thought that indictments would go broader. but watching the governor over the many years, the five years that i've been watching him it is clear that he is very capable of rebounding and that he is a masterful retail politician. >> reporter: again christie's announcement is expected at 11:00 a.m. today and we will be carrying that live on 6abc. christie will leave right after the speech to campaign in new hampshire. no wasting any time, tam. >> we will see how it all turns out and things are also getting interesting other democratic side. vice president joe biden is now rumored to be considering a run for president. the wall street journal reports that before his untimely death biden's son

beau biden encouraged his father to launch a bid. biden's other son hunter is also said to be supportive. a source says he has early august before he makes a decision. >> atlantic city electric predicts all of its customers that lost power in last week's storms should have electricity by the end of today. more than 1,000 power crews from out of state pitched in for a final push to get everyone back online. only a few hundred customers are still offline right now down from a peek of 280,000. >> delaware county council asking governor wolf to declare a state of emergency due to the impacts that area saw from last week's storms. eight municipalities suffered substantial damage and an emergency declaration would help foot the bill. the city of chester alone sustained more than $2.5 million in damage. >> time now to take a look at accuweather and sounds like we can get some strong rain later tonight. >> yeah, well, later today and then into the evening, yeah, there is the chance of some

thunderstorms and some of them could produce drenching downpours and i always worry about gusty winds. there's a little chance of that as well today. storm tracker six live double scan shows you we are dry for the morning commute however. and as we take a look outside some sunshine early across the region and there you see it coming up over atlantic city down the shore those clouds will get a little bit thicker as we go later through the morning. 68 degrees is your current temperature. we dropped a little bit in the last half hour. dewpoint still sitting at 61 so just slightly humid. and winds right now are calm when they are kicking in, they're coming more or less out of an easterly direction. so, future tracker six shows you how the sun will mix with increased clouds as we go in through the morning and by the afternoon as soon as 11:00 to maybe noon there could be a couple of showers popping in especially west of philadelphia and maybe to the north as well. and as we get into the afternoon heating pretty quickly there is the chance of some of these developing into thunderstorms. that might even happen before the end of my hour noon broadcast today but certainly during the afternoon. by 3 o'clock looking at the

potential for some of this around and of course here on channel six we'll let you know if there's anything strong developing. 6 o'clock there's another chance north and west of philadelphia of some more thunderstorms and maybe something still around the immediate region. as we get later into the evening, most of this is probably shifting off to the north and there will be a little bit remaining on radar for adam and cecily to show you. there is a slider risk of strong storms that could produce not only drenching downpours and lightning but also some gusty winds. the storm prediction center has us in the eastern edge of a big area that goes all the way out to the midwest. i'd say there's a real small chance of this but any time the spc has this yellow color over our area it's an extra reminder that if you hear spunt or see a threatening sky color beginning to develop take cover outflow floors. 71 degrees by 8 o'clock, 80 by 11 o'clock. 85 by 2 o'clock. today's high will be 86 degrees. at times you could get a pop-up thunderstorm as you just saw and getting more

humid today than it was yesterday. high temperatures across the region only about 80 or so in reading and allentown and trenton. 84 in wilmington. 82 in millville and on or about 80 degrees or so down the shore. i do want to point out though, that we are looking at a potential for rip currents down the shore. the ocean temperature feels good at 71. the beach looks good. probably won't get any rain down the shore. if we do it won't be much but the big issue swim next to the lifeguards. 70 in the water by the way off of our delaware beaches. tonight phillies game 79 for the first pitch. 74 in the ninth inning and a possible thunderstorm. your seven-day from accuweather, 86 today, some afternoon thunderstorms as you just saw are possible. they could push into the early evening. then tomorrow even more humid a high of 87 and another chance of thunderstorms as a cold front comes through. behind it on thursday it may still be a little bit unsettled, 87. a slight chance of a thunderstorm. but probably a little bit less of a chance on thursday than on wednesday and today. and then friday while there is

a chance of some rain in the morning, the afternoon looks like we'll get a brief break and it will be drive. for the fourth of july sun and clouds warm, probably humid 86 the high. there's a slight chance of an afternoon or evening thunderstorm but at this juncture it looks pretty spotty and most of the fireworks shows should be okay. of course everybody will be watching cecily and adam in the afternoon before you head out. >> thanks, david. 5:41 now. next wal-mart is in damage control this morning. it concerns a cake and the terrorist group isis. >> a west philadelphia school targeted by thieves gets a big helping hand from police. karen. >> we're clear and dry right here on torresdale at harbison. no problem with traffic. want to see wait looks like in delaware county? just wait. i've got a live shot coming up. >> a pop singer's dream of living in a convent turned into a little bit avenue legal nightmare but they're going the hear her roar. we're going to be right back. >> oh, that was a good one.
