But our justin finch shows us one suggestion that could move things along a little faster. Is the new normal in air travel, long lines at airports across the us, and in phoenix thursday, thousands of bags baking in the sun, the result of tsa computer glitch which stopped screenings. You want to keep passengers moving, but keep passengers safe. This philadelphia passenger simmering. He and his family blaming long check in lines and over booking for missing their frontier flight home. Im very concerned, because i do a lot of flying and travel. I got a car thats parked, been parked since this saturday. With peak Summer Travel approaching and tsa staffing down, this suggestion from new york senator chuck assumer. When you have a passenger screening, k9, it is like precheck, where you dont have to take off your code or your belt or your shoes, because they can smell any explosives. Over thanksgiving, Philadelphia International rolled out similar k9 program with success. Weve come around, sniff around your feet, your ankles, but they wont be too inch trues disbelief Homeland Security and tsa top brass are bracing for a busy summer. That plan to hire more than 700tsa officers use additional k9 teams to screen passengers, also, to encourage more to sign up for tsa precheck, that program pushes flyers faster through security. As tsa prepares to ramp up its staff, they likely wont make their targets before july, when peak Summer Travel begins, you cant get ahold after damn person in it. Sa.

And brooke, we are still in the midst of some sunshine the rest of the day today, but tracking, you guessed it, more rain on the way, ill tell when you it gets here, long it sticks around, is there any more sunshine in site down the road . The answer straight ahead. The 76ers have flashy uniforms already, but begin in the 2017 season theyll have Something Else that no one else does. The first team in the four major us sports to sell an ad on their jersies. The sixers made the announcement during special dunking contest on the deck of the battleship new jersey this morning. The uniforms will have a stub hub logo in the upper corner and the team says theyre proud to be first. Once this sort of started to come about, that this might happen, the nba might lawn this much program, it was quick discussion, we were in, wanted to do it, couldnt more thrilled to be first, and couldnt be more excited to see it kick off and two years from now. The sixers also have the nba draft lottery coming up. Tomorrow night. Thats when theyll see where they will pick in the june draft. First, right, hopefully .

Phils broadcasters got the fan a mike schmidt autographed ball so the phils dont play the reds again this season, so we will have to see votto next season, the phils play the marlins tonight. Very long memories here in philadelphia, however, so i dont think that anybodys going to let him off the hook next season. Okay, so youre right, it was cold, we had frost advisory this morning, we had freeze warning in the poconos, actually, tide couple of record lows this morning. So chilly. Wah, wah, wah. I know, how much, at least we have the sunshine. When we certainly have that, you know, at least couple of days coming up beyond this point, as well. So overall i would say that this weeks forecast will be a heck of a lot nicer than the last two weeks as a whole, because we had so many gray skies and chill in the air. Lets take a look at whats happening out there right now, however. In fact, i want to start things off by taking a look back in time, morning lows, not everyone tide record. But here is a couple of those that d allentown, trenton, both tide record lows this morning at 37 and 40 degrees, apiece, and mount pocono, yep, that was the coldest spot as you might imagine up in the mountain us terrain, 29 degrees your official low. Now, here in philadelphia, at the airport, the actual low to at least tie the records would have been 40. We came awfully close to that at 42 gross officialliment storm scan at least nice and quiet for you. It will stay that way through the rest of the day, rest of the night, even early this morning, look at this, even light snow falling in upstate new york, thankfully not our story. Here is the next disturbance that does bring us precipitation, basically going to move from west to east, and cross through the midatlantic state. Since we are close enough to it, it will bring in couple of additional showers tomorrow and probably into wednesday morning, too. But outside we go to one of the live Neighborhood Network shots, love this shot, one of the most favorite because so serene, beautiful sunrise shot which we had earlier this morning, right now outside Kutztown Area Middle School couple of patchy white clouds, nothing more, noticeable breeze, in fact, actually see if you watch closely clouds are moving here with the north to northwest breeze at 14 miles per hour. And with temperature at 53, you will notice that it feels little chillier out there. High pressure is in place for this one final day before this next disturbance starts to cross our way, brink withing it more clouds, certainly, and also some off and on rain really any time tomorrow further south you are the more likely it is that you get in on more rain. But there will still be again some showers that linger into wednesday morning, before that system retreats, then High Pressure regains control. Looks like that high will linger, right through the end of the week. So i come bearing some very nice weather news for the weeks end. Meantime first pitch tonight not looking bad at 70 00, a still full sunshine for the phils, 06 degrees, mostly sunny skies, little cool and breezy too. Have your phillies sweatshirts ready to go as opposed to maybe just the tshirt. But looking forward, take a look again, we do start to rebound here, it will be somewhat after slow progress to get into seasonable territory, normal highs range low mid 70s this time of year, so yes, little cool for the standards, we get you back again into the more seasonable territory thursday and friday, and look at that, walltowall sunshine as High Pressure regains control. We have to worry about a shower saturday. But at least the temperatures are sticking close to where they belong this time. For the upcoming weekend. Okay. Ya.
