Killing a lion in the same area where cecil the lion was shot. It comes a mid confusion about the state of another animal in that area. We will have the details for in you just a moment. The roads are cooperating. Dry. A cool down on the way. We are laughing about it because we are cooling down to the 80s. Really . I know youre just like whatever, but i remember the days, meisha, when we were just begging for 50 degrees day. Oh, wow. The cool down to 80. Exactly. What . I know. It takes a moment on a monday morning to get that in check. Humidity not too bad. It will be starting to ramp up on us a little bit. Because we are tracking a cold front. That will a lot of times start to get the southerly push of air, moisture source gets pushed in here, you ends up with just little more humidity. Right in you it doesnt feel too bad outside. Do you have really good start. We start things off quickly by getting you on out to whats going on with the pattern we talked about the cool down breaking at least the worse of the heat, guys, it is august. I mean, we should still see at least 80 plus degrees and thats absolutely what we will find. It is just the 09 plus degrees days will draw to close eventually, not just yet. We think we will keep the heatwave going for you here at least another two days, actually today and tomorrow, but storm scan remaining quiet, empty at this hour. Looking at the area headlines currently in the mid upper 60s, back to the 70s at the moment in philadelphia, 73 degrees obviously nice and mild, but again it does not feel terribly humid yet. How much, thats going to be charging with time. As the day progresses here, expect to see more and more sunshine, and of course it will help only just to heat it up from here. So as the humidity starts to climb, up to 92 degrees. We are shooting for 93, officially here, in philadelphia. And again, with more humidity, that means it will feel little bit more uncomfortable. Meisha, over to you. Okay, sounds good. Well right now the good thing is waking up early you dont have the humidity yet. Sound like it is nice out there. So this is where we had the first accident of the morning in kensington, aramingo avenue at lehigh avenue. The left lane was block, here is the deal. Now it is more in the intersection, you can see people police, everyones out on foot, so use caution around the area. But once you get through the the sent he can intersection, all lanes open. Real any this intersection for those of you living in and around the area make note of that. Ben franklin bridge, for those every you coming over no new jersey, center city, looking great. Starting to see levels build ever so slightly just moment ago when looked at this, it wasnt even this many headlight out on the roadway now it is starting to heat up, all of the bridges kind of looking the same to be honest with you. Also, Spring Garden ramp, you can see, it is closed, the off ramp will open tomorrow out of the schuylkill expressway. But the off ramp is closed until august 12th. Erika, over to you.
