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®. meteorologist, david murphy is back now with a closer look at the forecast any sunshine out there now. not a lot. we had some this morning coming in behind the high clouds looking at stormtracker 6 live double scan, lots of clouds everywhere and a decent am of rain in the region, we thought most of the rain would be over south jersey and delaware we did get a sprinkle in philadelphia for a while that is

the case. there is quite a bit off the coast and it would be a good idea not to take the stroll on the boardwalk before it get as way from you. there does look like there is a chance to die down later on as we look outside we have basically cloudy skies across the region this is fairmount parka cross the river now is he still getting me reports and i'm a weather guy your temperature is 73 degrees, winds from the northwest not all that strong at 8 miles per hour, 77 in allen allentown and reading and it's warmer up north and the clouds are thicker here and the farther north you go and the farther away you are the warmer it is. we think we'll be able to bounce up a bit through the afternoon

and get up into the low 80s, 52 in philadelphia your dew points and anything over 60 is considered humid this is not all that humid you go down to the shore, and it's more so and future tracker 6 shows you from now until 2:00 there is decent potential for rain and we should be dry after that, and up in allentown basically dry and a slight chance of a shower and partly sunny at times this afternoon a high of 81 degrees, as we go down to the shore that is where the rain is centered and it's cloudy and damp and rip currents in the ocean. 84 is the high in philadelphia we may struggle to that, i can see us stopping at 82 cloudy and a shower south and sprinkling in philadelphia but most of it down in south jersey

and delaware 69 is the overnight low and the evening is possible, it's mostly getting out of here in time for the evening, for the phillies, 6:35 start mostly cloudy and dry fireworks tonight after the game hopefully we get a win and a nice show. 84 degrees is the high today and clouds and sun on friday, 82 is the high there mainly dry and then a mix of clouds and sun on saturday with a high of 81 degrees on the 4th of july. and there is the chance of some showers around particularly in the morning and in the afternoon and evening, i think it's going to be mostly dry, after 2:00 3:00 we have to allow for a spotty storm but a lot of your afternoon events and picnics are probably in pretty good shape. >> thanks david. >> much more "action news" when we come right back.
