[laughter] >> good morning. we've got a busy morning as you're heading to work. i've been keeping in contact with the national weather service and this is just coming in now. a flood advisory until 9:15 this morning for parts of salem and cumberland county new jersey. with storm tracker6 live double scan we can show you exactly why we have those concerns. i want to go right into this area. this is the area we're seeing the heaviest rain. those areas of red and yellow, some really good downpours happening right now in south jersey. this is in bridgeton right along route. if you're about to head on 49 you're seeing the worst of it heading towards malaga, heading towards glassboro near rowan university. also seeing a new cell here. i wouldn't be surprised if this one starts to see lightning associated with it in millville. this is the area where we have the greatest concern with the flood advisory. ohio were we take another look near the city itself you see

the motion of it as it's heading towards route 55 some of the busier traveled areas. as we look near philadelphia we see some scattered showers some heavier rain you're driving through in chadds ford in west chester malvern especially and traveling along i-95 you see that heavy cell that would be head towards philadelphia. so a lot happening on the radar right now which is why we have that flood advisory, the first one in our area being posted. 74 degrees right now in philadelphia. it is warm. it's muggy out there a high of 87. the problem is it's not just a morning issue, matt. at any point today we could see a heavy downpour with a thunderstorm coming through so i'll show you future tracker six coming up in a minute 'cause it's going to be a problem for your evening commute as well. >> sounds like it will be a really interesting day. good morning karen. we're live in king of prussia early on this tuesday where things are definitely wetter than they were during the last half hour when we looked at this same shot of the schuylkill expressway by 202. but we're not seeing that westbound police activity anymore here on the schuylkill. everything is cleared out. so, the lanes are opened, they're ready for you but now

they are a little bit damp here in king of prussia. had a crash early this morning in glenside along cricket avenue. that's gone. there's a new one in jenkintown along homes instead road at cottman street by the episcopal church of our saviour good spot to avoid early this morning. this is the ben franklin bridge where we expect westbound delays again this morning because of the right lane construction, the patco work going on for the rest of the summer blocking that westbound right lane. at this point there are no delays and the bridge is still mostly dry. here at the girard point bridge this is 95 northbound. not dry. you can see it's definitely wet headed up towards center city and this is the stretch of 95 that will close early this afternoon as the president heads from the airport up to the convention center for the naacp convention. then early this evening we'll turn it around and have those rolling closures on the vine and southbound 95. of course we'll keep you posted throughout the day. erin. >> all right, matt, thanks so much. we have breaking news now. philadelphia police are investigating a home invasion

calling for shorter sentence and lowering taxpayer costs to house prisoners. >> together we can make our communities safer. we can spend our taxpayer dollars more wisely and we can make sure that more of our citizens, even those who have made mistakes have a chance to become productive members of society. >> reporter: last night the president commuted the sentences of 46 drug offenders, 14 of whom had been sentenced to life. he added under current laws most would have already served their time and said they deserved a second chance. the criminal justice system has already been a focus of this convention. yesterday a panel discussed ridding minor offenses and how prosecutors can fairly handle cases. >> prosecutors owe it, owe us all and what they -- what they're supposed to do is fight for justice to do justice, to pursue justice. that doesn't just mean locking people up. >> reporter: the president is expected to address quite a few points in his address including policing and also

crime fighting efforts that address social problems like poverty. we're live in center city, katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> thanks, katherine. breaking here, iran and six world powers have reached a landmark agreement to temporarily stop iran from building a nuclear bomb. the deal in austria comes after months of negotiations with the u.s. and the other world powers. it would allow united nations inspectors to press for visits to iranian military sites as part of their monitoring duties, but access would not necessarily be granted. any deal will go to the un security council which is expected to endorse it by the end of the month. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu predicts the deal would allow iran to practice terror in the middle east. >> this story is developing. philadelphia police are investigating two separate stabbings in grays ferry. the latest one involves a 16-year-old boy playing basketball at a playground. police say six men surrounded him and stabbed him twice in

in millville headed towards 55 and malaga and route 40, if you're in elmer you're about to get hit a little harder by. that we can move up a little further because this is all heading towards glassboro at this point and route 55 and if you're coming in from the atlantic city expressway you're going to be dealing with in as well. i want to show you over this area because although in chadds ford you're not getting as heavy not with the areas of red look what you have. you have an area of yellow. looks like you're going to get hit. you're just start to go in chadds ford but it's going to continue to be hit by this as you head towards so you what to watch for that. i think you'll have a lot more rain in that area causing kind of an issue there. in media you have it as well with some of those heavy downpours so be careful as you're headed out this morning. let's go outside. we want to see what it looks like and we look towards the city. you see the clouds moving up above where you're getting some lighter rain in philadelphia. i think some of that heavier rain will be moving in shortly. that currents temperature of 73 degrees, the humidity is way up there the dewpoint is 68 and the winds out of the east-southeast not helping the

situation any with the warm humid air mass and so much moisture that when you get one of these storms you just get the really good downpours here. so satellite6 and action radar showing how those storms have moved in. it's not going to be constant all day but it's a very active pattern. we could see these showers or thunderstorms popping up at any pointer today. this is future tracker six looking at 10 o'clock in the morning. not everywhere. but those who are getting hit are get something really good downpours that could produce an inch or so of rain in a short period of time. at 12:30 at lunchtime if you're headed out for lunch we're going to see some showers or thunderstorms here or there popping through the region and even at 10 o'clock at night we've got some more storms coming through so we're looking at two days of unsettled weather today and tomorrow. so, as you're headed out today, you got to be prepared for this its not going to rain constantly but at any .1 neighborhood could get it. by 8:00 a.m., 76. by 11:00 a.m., 81. by 2:00 p.m., 85. and by 5:00 p.m., 86 coming down from your high of 87. here's a look at your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast.
