Certainly went through some fun yesterday. Fun is what you call it . Hey. Way to put on bright face about that mess we had on the schuylkill yesterday, meisha. Youre right, things can totally change on dime when it comes to traffic. One thing certain, the weather is absolutely going to cooperate for us once again today. Gorgeous, afternoon, unfolding, for now, obviously, no light of day just yet. Well give but an hour and a half or so before the sun pops over the horizon, looking south from the station headquarters here at the cbs3 studios, nice clear sky, comfortable outside, showing you temperatures, little on the cool side. Storm scan3 at the moment completely empty, High Pressure creeping control, i mean, so many calm winds observations on this map, that they literally, overlap one another. But what i really want to show you, look closely, might have to look closer, but you have more of westerly component to the wind flow, as the winds shift more out of the wets, eventually southwest, that means, we will start picking up on not just more heat, but also, more humidity. For now, though, look at this. Youre flirting, in fact, with the upper 40s mount pocono. You might even want to think about having just light jacket ready to go in allentown, for example, into reading, only flirting with 50 right now, so it is a cool but very comfortable start to the day. And were going to start to heat up pretty quickly. As soon as the sun comes up, it starts to do its job, upper 80s later this afternoon, very pleasant day, still not terribly humid, meisha, but it is certainly going to be much warmer afternoon, by comparison. Yes, and yesterday, seemed so nice, too, just perfect day. Well, good morning, it is still dark outside, still very early, thanks for waking up with us. Live look outside, 95 southbound at the betsy ross bridge, see, already some headlight out on the roadways, if you are thinking about leaving your home, now you are in very good company. Open roadways as you can see here, the vine street expressway, looking like this, it should continue to look like this as we push toward the 5 00 hour, typically when we start to see things change, fridays tend to be a lighter travel day. So hopefully will stay light for most of us, blue route midcounty traveling in the northbound direction, southbound direction, these travel lettering, and you can see headlight as well as taillights, moving to and from the midcounty area, then weekend concert, motley crew, Zacarias Moussaui brown, maroon five playing at the wells fargo, citizen park, Atlantic City if you love music this will make for one fun walk ends, also, that sinkhole 15th street one southbound lane open, between pen square and chestnut until later on today.

Finally learning more about security parameters for the weekends. Inside the socalled traffic box, two security zones, which include fences even metal detectors, Eyewitness News reporter justin finch live on the ben franklin parkway where the pope will be celebrating mass. Justin, good morning. Reporter good morning, the city is breaking for the parkway to be packed with people, as many as 1. 5 million, may arrive to our area just to see the pope. Thats why the city says it is breaking up our city into series of zones to keep the public safe. Lets show you a new map at this time. As you see, that wider yellow space is that traffic box we told you about now for so long, basically spans from river to river going as far as girard to the north as low as south streetment once the vehicles leave in that area, they cannot return. Also, note, the red and black areas, they include the parkway, where we are now, and independence hall, those spaces are in red. Now in the black areas, you will not see most cars except for those allowed by secret service. Also, they will be watching for vehicles that dont belong in that space. The red spaces are for pedestrians only and require screenings for entry. Now the sit now is working on logistics, suggesting we all get our essentials done before friday september 25th. Thats what those parameters will heighten for the weekend. This event has been named special one by homeland security, and those traffic boxes of course will be a burden, but the city says they are needed. Some have certainly directly asked why do woe create this traffic box . Quite frankly, it is not real a issue relating to protecting pope francis. In reality it is primarily to protect the millions of people who will be walking on our wonderful but narrow city streets and our sidewalks. And we of course will have more on those maps at cbsphilly. Com. Thats our website. Also, too, they are rolling out more details as we get closer. Still more that we dont know at this time.

He was found in pieces on philly street about two weeks ago, ridiculous. This group is building new robot called the philly lovebot. One catch, will not hitch hike like its predecessor. It would be passed person to person. When somebody receives it, they also make a commitment to do a good deed. And they would document that with a hashtag boothterl love or philly love box. Oh, thats great. Yes. The philly robot will be made with some common Household Items and used consumer electronics, when it is finished, volunteers say, theyll post a lit of parts and directions so you at home can also make your own silly love bot. Philly love bot. I have to say the philly tech community, theyre so on point, such a strong group of people. So happy. So sad, poor little pitch booth torn to pieces. Get it together, people. Well the forecast is coming together. Today not looking too bad. Today will be fantastic day, great pool day, great beach day. Not terribly humid, but it will be warmer than it was yesterday. We can hands it will. You cant get much better than yesterday was, right . Picture perfect. So, so beautiful. And it continues really today. High pressure is here, dairy say, actually little on the cool side walking out the door this morning, in a good way, i dont mean that in a bad way at all. You wont be cranking the heat in the car or anything, but it feels refreshing, feels almost like a football weekend. Thats what i always equate it to, when you get the crisp in the air, feels like football season. Getting there, but still mid august, obviously, but storm scan nice as clear, and temperatures dropped off little more readily as they tends to do. Meanwhile, we continue to keep High Pressure in place, for the next couple of days. Moisture well off to the north, dont worry about it, High Pressure is our story for the next few days. And we will get you as a result into much warmer territory on the thermometer in the days ahead because of t so what happens is as High Pressure nudges east, we see the return flow around it, with a southwesterly component to the winds flow, in addition to that, also going to see very weak frontal boundery approaching on saturday, so the further north and west you travel, it is still possible that you see spotty shower or storm. But generally speaking, on saturday, it is just dry, and hot, steamy for that matter for everybody, keeping the theme sunday going, hazy, hot, we keep the 90s into monday, so it means as long as we hit three days straight of 90 or above, there is your heatwave. Meantime, lot of sunshine for you today, high hits 88 degrees, the expectation, so smidge above the average really. Even though weve got that wind flow turning out of the southwest it, should actually still stay relatively low in terms of humidity, so it continues tonight. But here we go. We look forward. That should say 92 sunday. We are keeping the theme going here into the nine thes for the next couple of days, it will be a hot and steamy forecast overall for everyone, guys, by tuesday next chance for shower or storm is upon us. We send it back to you. Katie, thanks, nfl preseason underway with no less than six games last night.

And brought teammate some chairs. We got a lot of guys, you know, for whatever reason, take a little day off, so i want to make sure that they had a nice little seat, and a place in the shade, while we are all working out here. Im sensing a little sarcasm there. Birds are still getting offensive line ready for preseason game one. Three of the five shots are ready, it looks like allen barberi will get one guard spot with the others still up for grabs.

Money watchs jill wagner up at the New York Stock Exchange with details on that, good morning. Good morning, erika and nicole. Samsung really raised the bar in this smart phone wars with samsung pay. It lets customers use their phones, like credit cards virtually everywhere. Analysts say it is a huge advance android and apple pay, which still arent available at all retailers. For security, samsung pay requires a fingerprint or pin number, the actual credit card number is never revealed. So, could be a game changer. Erika, nick snow. Very interesting. And they say never eat alone. But apparently snacking is a whole different story. Single people apparently love their smacks. A new study finds that the growth of snack foods being consumed at meal times is largely the result of smaller households and people eating alone. And pd groups snacking in america report finds that one reason singles are swapping meals for smacks, they come in single serve packages. And, so guilty of this, guys. Likewise. Erika, nick snow. Just grazing all afternoon as opposed to sitting down for proper meal. But avenue question. Are you eating so much of the smacks, that it now becomes a meal . Lets get to the bottom that far. These will the questions. I mean, that is actually what they are finding, and also recommend to go Food Companies that they Pay Attention to there is they are saying Food Companies need to start making smaller servings, and smaller package being, so maybe people would take that up as a meal instead. There you go. All right, jill, thanks so much. See you later this morning. Coming up after the break, another check on traffic and weather together.

This is one of the areas that kinds of picks up earlier, and then starts to set the tone and get little bit more steady in the 5 00 and 6 00 hour. What we are looking at a lot of earlier risers, and 95 southbound at the betsy ross bridge, we look at that just a moment ago, looking great, beautiful camera to show. This is representing what were seeing on this early friday morning. And fridays tends to be one of our slower travel days typically. See how today happens. Kelly drive closed, saturday, tomorrow, 6 00 a. M. To 5 00 p. M. , between Fountain Green drive to Strawberry Mansion drive for those of how have to travel that area. Just make note of that. Oh, katie, my fink remembers crossed for today, the morning commuters went through some stuff yesterday. But luckily the weather is good. You said it, again, at least weather cooperate for us yet again. So we dont have to worry about any of the added issues that come along with rain, or fog, or anything like. That will it is just nice clear august morning. And comfortable one at that. So, you can throw open the sun roof perhaps, instead of the air conditioner today. It is definitely not humid at all. Storm scan, totally empty at the moment. Will stay that way throughout the entire day once more with High Pressure on our side. So i said it earlier in the broadcast there is will be fantastic pool or beach day. Lots of sunshine for your friday at the shore point were shooting for about 84 degrees, obviously, give or take degree or two or three depending on the shore point that youre at. Water temperatures starting to climb little bit more readily, rip countries being, hey, thats nice and low, the winds flow very modest, even at the beaches. So this is a great day to be outside. If you are lucky enough to be one of the folks that pulled three day weekends, here you have t does get better than this for summer i ask you . Generally speaking just got the mugginess starts to return, obviously the heat, too. It will be hot today. Just not quite so humid. That changes by tomorrow. And it does look as though we will hit the low 90s beginning tomorrow, and lasting into next week. Guys, back to you. All right, katie, thank you.
