beginning to build in over the terrace. take a look at satellite and you can see that cloud cover getting thicker especially west of philadelphia and some of it now forming overhead. there are also some showers out to the west that could develop into some thunderstorms by the time they get here late this morning and then in through the afternoon and evening. 69 degrees is the current temperature in philadelphia. 67 degrees in wilmington. 64 in allentown. 70 in sea isle city on the boardwalk. notice how the wind is coming in just very gently out of the south and that is bringing in slightly higher humidity as we roll through the day. 69 right now on your storm tracker six app. by 8 o'clock about 71. then the afternoon does look warm and a little bumpy. 81 by noon. 86 is your high today with higher humidity than yesterday at 3 o'clock. and then by 6 o'clock, 81 and again through in particular the afternoon and into the early evening there is the chance of some showers and perhaps a gusty thunderstorm in some neighborhoods that could produce heavy downpours and those strong winds so you want to take cover from any storm that forms today and they'll be spotty but where they hit they could be

memorable. karen rogers we have continued humidity and some more unsettled weather later in the seven day. i'll check that out coming up. >> all right, never find driving in those storms. so later on that's going to be an issue but not this morning. looking good on 95 approaching cottman. southbound traffic a little heavy approaching cottman and again approaching girard but a 16 minute ride from the woodhaven to the vine is over all no problems nice and clear right here on the vine street expressway. maybe slowing a little bit ahead as you approach the schuylkill but for the most part looking good and the construction has cleared on the 59 vin in both directions as -- on the vine in both directions. we have a couple things going on. tonight at 7 o'clock a performance at the mann and the phils play at 7:05. watch for extra congestion. west philadelphia 52nd street remains closed near westminster. this accident in monroeville gloucester county just cleared. traffic moving better monroeville at ridgewood road but we have problems with last week's storms. they continue to do emergency road work in newark.

allentown. 62 in trenton. low 70's along the boardwalks at this hour and humidity maybe if you really move around you can feel it's a little bit stickier but so far with the clouds overhead none big blading sun it feels okay. as we go through the morning the clouds are going to get thicker and then after about 11:00 or maybe noon there is the chance of some shower activity to begin to develop in the western and northern areas. allentown might see some of this. i think the better chance is out to the west and there might even be some downpours beginning to develop as the air is a little more humid. then we go from noon to 3 o'clock and not only do we get showers but perhaps some thunderstorms building in during the afternoon some of which could also produce drenching downpours along with residual lightning and some of these could produce gusty winds as well. as we go into 6 o'clock the model wants to suppress most of this to the north and west but i'm still going to allow for additional activity in closer to philadelphia and later in the evening hours looks like most of this dies down but even as late as

11 o'clock cecily tynan may have something to show you on storm tracker six. the risks from the storms today are primarily lightening that's pretty much always the case and also downpours because the air mass is moist anyone up a little bit. i'm going give you a moderate chance of strong winds and that's only because not every cell will necessarily develop that but i do think there's a chance some of these storms are strong and gusty the bottom line once again head indoors to the lower floors if you see the skies getting threatening or if you hear a rumble of thunder. fairly low chance of large hail and a tornado but the storm prediction center today is not totally ruling that out for the midatlantic states and that would include our region. so, head indoors for those storm. warm and humid, an afternoon thunderstorm possible in the lehigh valley. 80 degrees is the high there. down the shore an extra problem. there probably won't be as big a threat of rain down the shore today but rip currents are an issue in the water. the ocean temperature in the low 70's i'm concerned that we

could have some swimmers really wanting to go in there. make sure you swim only by the lifeguards and follow their directions. 86 is today's high. afternoon thunderstorms are possible. you just saw that on future tracker six. hopefully we can knock them out in time for the union cup match against d.c. united this evening at ppl park. then tomorrow it's warm and even more humid a cold front triggers an additional chance of showers or thunderstorms 87 is there high there. then it might still be unsettled on thursday with a pop-up storm but not a washout. friday rain in the morning is possible but the afternoon it looks like a brief visit from high pressure will give us a dry nice one high of 84. for the fourth of july on saturday a mix of sun and clouds getting more humid again, a high of 86 degrees and a slight chance of a spotty thunderstorm in the afternoon or evening. my take right now is that most of your fireworks displays will probably be okay but a great, great evening to check out "action news" before you head out just to make sure there's nothing going on. >> we will do that. thanks, david. 6:11 now. still ahead more stories you didn't see last night including the fiery plane

wreck that claimed lives in a residential neighborhood overseas. >> a driver makes a bold move on a drawbridge when he doesn't realize it's about to go up. karen. >> pay attention looking outside live on the boulevard near wissahickon we are clear. we are dry. no problems right here. we're going to see what it looks like on the schuylkill expressway coming up. >> a new face in the phillies front office could be preparing to shake things up. that's later on "action news." >> ♪♪

point on the blue route and mass transit's on time this morning so far dave. >> all right karen. off to a decent start with most of the area in the 60's. 76 degrees by 9 o'clock in philadelphia and if you're catching the bus or the el, 81 by noon. if you have errands to run that are optional i would do them in the morning because afternoon or so there is the chance of a thunderstorm or a shower. your high today is going to be that 86-degree reading at 3 o'clock. a little humid and thunderstorms will be spotty. where they hit they could produce heavy downpours or gusty winds. there is a slight chance through the eastern half of the united states and back out to areas north of denver a pocket in southern arizona as well and this includes our area so any thunderstorm that forms today could potentially be strong and gusty on the big board at the airport right now though it's all green aircraft went for now don't have any rain reported in any of our most commonly traveled destinations. the problem is probably more this afternoon. matt. >> thanks, david. the phillies are hoping a
