But for now travelers are forced to reassess their plans. Eyewitness News Reporter jane carabao joins us at philly international with that part of the story good morning. Reporter erika and ukee good morning that is what philadelphia area travelers are doing this morning weighing their options thinking of other ways to get into that country as this faa ban remains in effect and as you mentioned we could learn midday today whether that ban will be lifted. Happening this morning there were supposed to be a flight that u. S. Airways flight coming into Philadelphia International airport right around 5 20. Of course that flight has been canceled. This news of this temporary flight ban came in yesterday after rockets fired from the gaza strip hit near israels main airport. U. S. Airlines acted ahead of the faa, some indefinitely canceled all future flights to and from the country. Federal Aviation Administration then took action prohibiting all u. S. Airlines from flying to the tel aviv airport for 24 hours. That has left many travelers scrambling, some declaring they are going to proceed with their trip anyways and many folks including former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg say flight restrictions are a concession to hamas militants. Bloomberg flew to tel aviv on the Israeli Airline etal on tuesday and many others air tempt to go do the same to support the israeli people.

We have been discussing the fact that the heat is building humidity building at well and it is all building up to the approach and eventual passage of our next cold front. It doesnt look like this particular cold front will have wherewithal to bring us any bad Severe Weather potential here but i typically can see a couple strong or heavier thunderstorms. But that would happen mainly later, in toward night fall. So lets go ahead and start off by talking temperature and then get out to that frontal boundary. Lets talk 90 plus degree days, shall we. We have stack them up. Last year was not that impressive. We only had 20 days of 90 defor the the whole year of 2013. In 204 we are about halfway through this Summer Season already, just 12, to our name. So we have have a little catching up to do if we have a prayer of flirting with even 2011, let alone 2010, but i do think we will have a pretty good shot of hitting those lower 90s today. We will make that the 13th day of 90 plus degree heat as storm scan three is empty. We have nothing more than a couple clouds out there and eventually this next frontal boundary does move n we have got basically the whole day to get through before that will happen.
