accident out there on the pennsylvania turnpike eastbound at fort washington. that has moved to the shoulder and you can see they're up to 55 miles an hour so things are getting better but then within that backup at 24 miles per hour we have a disabled vehicle right at norristown so kind of creating insult to injury. give yourself more time its about 35 minutes between valley forge to bensalem. heading out into montgomery county and cheltenham avenue weren't accident with injuries on tookany creek parkway at ashmead road. a little slow going there. also slow going if you're heading out on the roosevelt boulevard traveling northbound you are stacked 76 all the way out through broad street but it looks like are you good to go if you're traveling o on the southbound side. no delay approaching 76. also i'm getting word that we have construction out there on the atlantic city expressway eastbound approaching route 50 to egg harbor exit. that should be out there only until about 5 o'clock. brian and sharrie. >> gina, thank you. and stepping outside as we take a live look through sky6 hd, the view here of penn's landing and not a bad one outside. >> not one bit. meteorologist adam joseph with the exclusive accuweather

from morning into the afternoon, 10 o'clock in the morning, 89 degrees. already feeling like 91 by 11 o'clock in the morning and then as you can see for many consecutive hours starting around 1:00 right through 5 o'clock feeling like 97 uncomfortable degrees and late in the day that's when it could turn stormy as well. as we take a look at satellite and radar around the region here, sunshine just a few high clouds at times here this afternoon. there is a complex to the west just to the north of pittsburgh. all this heading to the north and west here as we go into the overnight hours tonight but it could clip parts of the lehigh valley. this will be in the wee hours of the morning 2, 3, 4 o'clock in the morning with a scattered downpour or the rumble of thunder. so, tonight warm sticky and that stray storm north and west of philadelphia possible. very late at night. warm, though. 70 to 74 degrees for that overnight low with that south-southwesterly wind five to 10 miles an hour. as we get into 7 o'clock in the morning all those downpours are in new england. here you can see a break with sunshine and clouds, kind of

the hazy start to our tuesday. not going to take long for it to be very uncomfortable in that direct sunshine and then the afternoon tomorrow there's really no major weather player. there's little ripples of energy throughout this week that will travel through so as you can see it is very spotty tomorrow afternoon during the evening rush where there could be some pop-ups around and any of those pop-ups will bring some brief heavy rainfall so really the flavor for the next three days, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, is oppressive humidity, downpours with any of the storms that do develop and even some strong wind gusts out of some of those storms on the most active day this week looks to be thursday late afternoon during the evening hours. but take a look at the numbers here. how it goes from the high temperature to how it feels is very different. tomorrow's high of 93 will feel like 98 degrees. wednesday's high of 92 will feel like 98 degrees and then thursday before some of those scattered storms that come in especially the high of 95 is going to feel like

104 degrees. definitely the most uncomfortable day of the year so far. as we look at the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, hot, humid with that storm popping up tomorrow, 93. same for wednesday at 92. we're highlighting thursday 'cause that's the day with the highest heat indices and also the better chance of some strong storms coming through late in the day. and then it cools down a bit here on friday, still humid of 81. and unsettled in the morning and the afternoon with many showers and storms that could pop up and hopefully it all clears out in time, it turns less humid and we kick it back to refreshing upper 80's around here for the upcoming weekend and the start of next week so again, no real rainy day but definitely something to be on guard especially with those heat indices and some of those storms popping the next few days. >> miserable muggies. you like that. >> i do. >> thank you adam. >> all right, if you are one of those people trying to make your own sunscreen at home, don't. what's the deal and the
