cottman, jammed already from academy through this point because of the accident right in the middle of the work zone. now, farther south at least we've lost that police checkpoint because the weight restrictions have been lifted so all lanes opened farther south on 95 around center city. speaking of which this is a view of the vine street expressway where the eastbound police checkpoint is gone approaching 95 but nonetheless, it's still backed up coming across town from the schuylkill out to 95. our dv on the westbound side of the vine just cleared out. but now there's a crash in whitemarsh, township by the giant along ridge pike near butler pike and we still have the crash in new castle that's blocking its northbound lanes of route 13 dupont highway by 295. go up route nine or even highway one up to 95 although there speeds are just around 11 miles per hour right now there by 273. and of course it's a friday afternoon in the summer time. you know what that means. shore traffic here on 42 southbound. it is a little bit extra crowded this afternoon and the

burlington bristol bridge experiencing an opening for a southbound ship. expect one at the tacony palmyra bridge in about 45 minutes. we'll check it again brian and sharrie in the 5 o'clock hour. >> sounds good my friend. see you shortly. meteorologist at dam joseph standing by with that exclusive seven-day forecast including august coming up next.

to new castle county police headquarters with that prisoner in the car. again, both them suffering serious injuries but we are pleased to report those injuries not expected to be life-threatening. much more on this as the developments unfold throughout the evening here. >> let's check in with meteorologist adam joseph standing byes been a busy week in the weather department with the storms and heat and now the weekend. >> it's going to be busy weekend as well especially on saturday with more storms and downpours around. facebook and twitter. >> and follow you. >> you go ahead and do your thing. >> take a look at double scan live radar. we'll show that north of the poconos there's a couple of pop-ups around here but again a pretty dry afternoon after a soaking rain yesterday afternoon into last night. 91 the heat index right now in allentown, 90 in reading, 92 in wilmington, feels like 94 in dover and close to 90 for millville and even points along the shore in the mid and upper 80's so it's still tremendously tropical out there despite we're not in the 90's for air temperatures at

a. again, we have a little wedge of dry air in place but you can see to the west there's energy pushing in from the ohio and tennessee valley and that ripples through here tomorrow late morning into the afternoon into tomorrow night. so, just a few patchy clouds tonight. areas of fog developing with that humidity being sky high, 68 to 72 degrees for that overnight low. future tracker we start off with a blend of clouds and sun tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. it is dry. but then you're going to see these downpours and thunderstorms cooking up into the early afternoon hours. and some of these will be some pretty hefty storms and downpours but if you're going to be south of philadelphia near the shore or southern delaware and the beaches, it looks like any of these downpours or thunderstorms should hold off until the latter part of the afternoon or evening and you can see he a good concentration of very heavy rain especially through our pennsylvania counties tomorrow late afternoon and evening and going even into sunday morning energy still lingering around to develop

storms at any point and that continues into sunday afternoon although sunday afternoon looks like it will be a little less intense than saturday. so, what to expect here for the weekend. again it's not a washout. however, with that oppressive humidity we'll have more clouds than sunshine and numerous downpours and even some of those thunderstorms that develop could have very vivid lightning or very strong winds and if you get under one of those downpours or thunderstorms locally we could see rainfall in the order of over 2-inches much like what we saw yesterday and last night. so, at the shore again you're good for most of your saturday, 80 degrees. and watch for those pop-ups late saturday evening, saturday night and throughout the day on sunday of 81 degrees and a lot of folks heading up into the poconos. many of them already there today for nascar in town. heavy thunderstorms and downpours on saturday, not a great race day at 75 and still a chance for a thunderstorm or two on sunday of 68 degrees. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast 80's over the

weekend but again very humid both days with those downpours and thunderstorms popping up. same thing on sunday but little less activity here on sunday. then as we get into monday, muggy, still a chance for a afternoon thunderstorm and downpours at 86 and then a bit drier tuesday, wednesday, thursday into friday. we start in the middle 80's next week but then as we get into thursday and friday, temperatures hitting that 90-degree mark yet again so again, not the best of weekends but just if you have outdoor plans tomorrow just watch, keep your ear opened, your eyes opened to the skies. they could turn threatening pretty quickly. >> freebie friday is coming up next. hi, i'm dominique wilkins.
