Meteorologist, david murphy, is monitoring the dry conditions in south jersey, he is live outside now with more. Sara, i want to start you with winds, one thing that is helping the firefighters, is the very light wind profile that we have, just a 6 Miles Per Hour wind at the Atlantic City airport and 9 in beach haven and it slows down off the beach. If the smoke is drifting its probably pushing to the north and we heard that driver as long route 72 are smelling it but one thing that help its not jump the fire lines is the fact that the wins are light and not expected to go all that much higher, in terms of sunshine, we have flenty of it, thanks to High Pressure shifting to the south promoting a southerly wind and keeping the clouds out. Temperatures are 88 in philadelphia, and same thing in washington, 92 in the heart of new york city, so warm to hot conditions rights now, and of course the wind coming up from the south and a little bit off the ocean we are looking at moisture injected.

As philadelphia prepares for the visit, pope francis is in the headlines after a major announcements. He is making it easier for catholics to get their marriages annulled Kenneth Moton is live. Reporter this is the latest reform by the popular pontiff, pope francis is called a reformer but coming under fire by higher ranking conservatives in the church. Another game change announcement from the holy father, is he allowing the Catholic Church to fast track annulments, it comes during the year of mercy and catholics must get an annulment if they want to marry in the church, an often long and expensive process. I think its a good idea to help people who have had difficult times in their lives with difficult marriages to be able to to look to the church for support. They call it more inclusive and more liberal and more progressive is causing decent in the ranks. Some cardinals are vowing to fight changes to the churchs doctrine, last week the pope said he would allow priest to absolve women who have had abortions if they ask during the year of mercy. I made some mistakes as a person and as a mother. Pope francis applauded this single mother and her dedication to her family. Pope francis will be a busy man during his upcoming visit to washington, new york and of course philadelphia. He is expected to make more big announcements as he continues his campaign of reform for the Catholic Church, reporting live in washington, Kenneth Moton, channel 6 action news. Thank you.

Looking live from sky 6 hd, a pretty picture from penns landing, david murphy has your update from accuweather. What do a nascar® driver. A comedian. And a professional golfer have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Ill have another arnold palmer. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.
