Its pretty hard to shock philadelphia drivers but this turned more than a few heads to say the least during the morning rush on the schuylkill expressway. An action news producer was on her way to work and snapped this picture of a man riding his bicycle on the expressway. The scene caused delays backing up the two left lanes as drivers tried to avoid hitting him. This all happened around 8 30 this morning on 76 west between 676 and the girard of a exit. The troopers eventually caught up with him. You can see the man taking him into custody. He was cuffed put in a squad car and then the officer loaded that bright yellow bike into the trunk.

Thats northbound right around rising sun of a out there in the outer lanes so something to watch out for there and a slight delay if youre on the blue route. Heres your schuylkill delay. If youre traveling on 76 by montgomery drive this is your westbound delay. Typically we see this delay eastbound but because we are seeing 40 minutes out there on that westbound side were seeing this delay so i would say from this point in montgomery out towards the blue route its going to be very slow, 40 minutes just about a half hour out there on that eastbound side. Lets take you to another live look. Were going to go to the roosevelt boulevard. If thats where youre traveling youll see a northbound delay. Up and over those twin bridges that northbound side very heavy so try to avoid that area if you can but definitely give yourself more time out there. Looks like southbound you are fine.

As we look at the dewpoint temperatures and what we can expect as we go throughout the rest of our weekend, how it will be feeling outside, dewpoint temperatures anywhere from 60 degrees or slightly below that so weve got a really dry air mass on the way as we go throughout the rest of today and into our weekend. Heres satellite6 along with action radar. You can see weve got a mostly clear sky but some clouds starting to drift into our area with that westerly wind so we will stay dry for the rest of tonight and pretty comfortable as well. So, over the next 12 hours, really no complaints. Mostly clear, its cool and comfortable dropping down to 53 in allentown, 56 lancaster, 58 in millville, down in dover, 60 cape may falling down to 63 degrees.

Action news continues with the word that you likely have not heard before but that you are familiar with perhaps, hat fishing. Well explain. Please do. Plus, marvel mystery. Philadelphia police are not only trying to figure out how this bust of a pennsylvania war hero wound up underneath i95 this morning. Theyre trying to figure out who put it there and why. Whats better than having your hair professionally craftd into a waves like a supermodel relaxing in the comfort of your own home. And not paying a dime for it. Well show you how to make that hair fantasy happen in freebie friday. Well begin at 4 30 with Hurricane Harvey hours away from making landfall in the United States. The outer bands are already starting to lash the texas coast the winds rain and waves are nothing compared to what this category three storm will soon bring to the region. Officials are warning that the 1. 5 Million People in harveys path need to prepare for as much as 3 feet of rain. Catastrophic flooding obviously and lifethreatening storm surges. Lets get right over to meteorologist Melissa Magee who is following the very latest on the timing of this very dangerous storm, melissa. Brian and monica well be tracking it as it makes landfall overnight tonight and into early tomorrow morning a powerful storm its a category three hurricane right now. Well take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan radar 3d, you can see all of that rain as far east as louisiana moving as far south as brownsville, texas. You can see a lot of moisture overhead as well as we go throughout the rest of today and throughout the next several days. In fact well show you the picture as we look at storm tracker6 and the watches and warnings that have been posted. Weve got a Tropical Storm warning as far inland as san antonio and just to the south of austin, texas. Weve got those hurricane warnings in Corpus Christi is included in that hurricane warning. What we have the capability of doing on storm tracker6 live double scan 3d is flipping this over and showing you the wave height so close to the center of the storm, waves are as high as 26 feet. 19 feet as you move to the north of the center of the storm and just to the south and west waves as high as 19 feet. These will only grow in intensity before it makes landfall overnight tonight and into the day tomorrow. So, the storm right now is a category three hurricane. Winds sustained at 120 Miles Per Hour. Its about 70 miles to the eastsoutheast of Corpus Christi and the problem with this storm is that it just sits and spins and meanders over the same area not just over the weekend but even as we get into the middle of next week. So, thats why there will be a big concern with catastrophic flooding as we go throughout the next several days and some folks could find anywhere from two to 3 feet of rain. So a years worth of rain in just a few days. Were going to have more details on Hurricane Harvey plus our weather back at home in the full and exclusive accuweather forecast. Brian. We invite you to stick with action news for continuing coverage of this hurricane as it approaches the texas gulf coast. Weve got live updates both on air and online at 6abc. Com. We turn now to a marvel mystery that has city officials confounded. How did a charge heavy statue of a pennsylvania war hero go from Fairmount Park to south philadelphia and why . Action News Reporter gray hall is live near where the bust was stolen with more on this strange story. Gray. Reporter oh, monica, this is a strange one. Tonight no clear answers as to how this happened, why this happened and how someone pulled this off but take a look behind me. You can see some way, somehow, someone made their way several feet into the air unbolted a massive statue and got away. There is something really wrong about this picture. This is a bust of general james beaver, the 20th governor of pennsylvania sitting oddly out of place. Now, theres the i95 overpass near fdr park. Police say someone stole the sculpture from the Smith Memorial arch in Fairmount Park near the please touch Museum Thursday night. It was discovered friday morning. I hope that it was just, you know, a person that just perhaps did this as a prank of some sort and, you know, were just glad that we got it back and were glad that well be able to put it back where it belongs. Reporter the commissioner of philadelphia parks and recreation says she is just as stunned as anyone else about this. At this point its not clear who took it, why or how but it certainly was no easy task. I think thats the real mystery. We think that its around 4 feet tall and 300 pounds. You know, this is not the kind of thing that you can throw in the back of your pickup truck so were stymied about how someone got up 12 feet high. Reporter the bust was installed in the early 19 hundreds and parks and recreation tell us they dont know of any controversy surrounding general beaver. Many we talked to were puzzled by the fact. To destroy Something Like that they would have been did it years ago. Things like this just dont happen like that. Its strange to hear. Maybe somebody from another community or something with heavy equipment like maybe a scissor lift or something just came up and took it but i dont know what the purpose of it is. Reporter unlike recent controversies with confederate monuments in our area and across this country general beaver served in the union army making this theft even more bizarre and questionable. I can certainly understand why theres a heightened sensitivity around sculptures and memorials or being vandalized. I cant say whether or not this has any kind of connection to recent events that have happened. Reporter all right, so back out live the mystery continues. It goes without saying that the Police Department is investigating this crime. We can also tell you that parks and recreation tells us the bust had some damage theyre working to repair that and hopefully return that sculpture to its proper home. Reporting in Fairmount Park, gray hall, channel6 action news. Monica. Thank you, gray. A fire in philadelphias feltonville section injured a person this afternoon.

After refusing to stop for pursuing officers the suspect crashed into a garage in the 6400 block of north 20th street. He was taken into custody but at that point police realized two men had been shot, one of them taken to the hospital in a stolen car. The owner of that vehicle of course is upset his vehicle was taken but we explained to him that the people who took the vehicle used it to transport a shooting victim to einstein hospital. Which im not sure eased his concern. The 22yearold victim was in critical condition. Another 32yearold man suffered less serious injuries.

But as you can see its just very typical friday afternoon volume. Like on 95 if youre traveling northbound youre heavy from allegheny to about bridge street. Southbound getting in the mix right now. The vine is very crowded. On the westbound side of 76 you are jammed. I would say from montgomery drive out through to the conshohocken curve. That eastbound side going to be heavy as well. If youre traveling on 95 in Delaware County heres your live look at the blue route. 95 at the blue route this is your big southbound delay. You are jammed from this point out to 452 so you can see that your travel time between the blue route to the delaware state line about 13 minutes so we are seeing that in the red. More time needed but that northbound side is fine. Also things look a little bald out there on the westbound side of the vine street expressway.

Our weather is one thing thats terrific, other folks having a terrible time. Yeah, all eyes this week you guys will be on texas as we are tracking Hurricane Harvey. In fact well go over to the Weather Center because thats what we are talking about as well. Weve got Hurricane Harvey, it is a category three storm. Winds sustained right now at 120 Miles Per Hour. You could see how massive this storm is with the moisture there in new orleans, louisiana, even down through brownsville, texas at this hour. So, well take a look at the stats with harvey. Winds right now 120 Miles Per Hour. Its moving to the northwest at about 10 Miles Per Hour. The maximum sustained gusts at 130 Miles Per Hour and this is a good 70 miles to the eastsoutheast of Corpus Christi texas as we speak. So where we look on the scale you can see it is a category three storm with those winds at 120 Miles Per Hour. As far as the wind, that is certainly going to be a concern as we go throughout the weekend. But its also going to be the flooding. The problem with Hurricane Harvey is that this storm will stall as you look at the spaghetti plot over the next several days so the wind is definitely a concern but catastrophic flooding with rain from Corpus Christi and as far north and east as houston texas. This is one well be tracking just over the weekend but over the next several days. Back here at home really no problems. Its gorgeous outside today. 78 degrees right now in philadelphia t73 in allentown. Same thing in reading. 75 in lancaster. Up in the poconos 66. Down in cape may in at 76 degrees. Here is satellite6 along with action radar. You can see weve got quiet conditions but a few more clouds starting to drift across the region. Weve got a westerly wind on the way and as we go throughout the overnight hours weve got a northerly wind so it will be turning clear, cool and pretty comfortable. Well drop down to 53 in the suburbs and 61 degrees in philadelphia for the overnight low. Fast forward into our weekend it is picture perfect both days with low humidity, High Pressure with this High Pressure in control so High Temperature as we get into both saturday and sunday will be in the upper 70s and were not tracking any unsettled weather until we get into early next week. So, down the shore, abundant sunshine on the way with High Temperature coming in at 76 degrees and another winner as we get into sunday with a high in at 75, a low risk for rip currents and the ocean temperature not bad coming in at 75 degrees. Up in the poconos, over the weekend, a little bit of a fall feel in the air, a high up to 69, it is sunny and nice on sunday with a High Temperature coming in at 78 degrees. So, the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast showing you on saturday, sunny and pleasant a High Temperature in at 79. Just as nice. On sunday with temps actually below average and a really nice dry stretch on the way as well, High Temperature coming in at 79 and no more 90degree days on the way as we get into the rest of the month of august. On monday, sunshine and clouds, a High Temperature in at 77. On tuesday, a bit of a change in the pattern. Its mostly cloudy, High Temperature in at 75 but were tracking a system off shore. So that will allow a couple of clouds to drift our way and maybe some showers. The threat of showers comes back on wednesday with a high of 76. Thursday clouds and sun. The humidity comes back. A High Temperature in at 82. On friday its partly sunny with a High Temperature coming in at 79 degrees. So, its gorgeous here, guys, but we will be tracking harvey its a category three storm so this could be the first major hurricane to make u. S. Landfall since 2012. Its still strengthening. It could be strengthening overnight but more than likely making landfall as a cat three there in texas. Thank you very much. So, you want a new look but dont want to spend the money.
