Darker shades of green thats definitely getting the roads a little wet. Lighter shades of green probably just a real light spritz or drizzle and most of this is moving out of the majority of New Castle County delaware and focusing mainly on southern Gloucester County, cumberland county, salem county and now pushing into parts of Atlantic County and maybe just the northern tip of New Castle County, delaware. If we go out wider, most of area is dry and we are expecting most of our rain today to stay down south. Obviously that current little batch will be through the region probably by the end of the rush hour.

The showers that were seeing right now are probably off the board after about eight or 9 oclock and then we get into the afternoon and the model is putting some additional showers and perhaps a thunderstorm down to the south and you see some more of that by 5 30 this afternoon. Looks like it will be done by about seven or 8 oclock so if you are in south jersey down the beach perhaps or in delaware today and you see the skies turning gray and ominous or you hear a rumble of thunder its out of the pool right away and off the beach. 92 degrees up in the lehigh valley.

First up lets go out to dave murphy find out just how warm it will be today and karen rogers has the news you need when it comes to traffic. Good morning. Feeling pretty good out here right now on the terrace. We have cloud cover blocking out the sun which helps actually make it feel a little more comfortable and humidity in philadelphia isnt too bad more humid down south though and radar shows we have also have sprinkles and showers passing through glassboro and points south down to millville a little bit of trailing stuff back in newark delaware and salem. And thats going to be an issue for the next couple hours down south of philadelphia. Then out to the west there are additional showers and well keep watching for those. Most of these will probably pass through south of philadelphia a shower or a thunderstorm possible off and on through the day. 77 degrees and dry in philadelphia right now, mainly cloudy. Up in allentown, 68. A little clearer up to the north and down in millville 77 degrees currently and more clouds the farther south you go. Also check out dewpoints. Theres a real difference across the region. In philadelphia dewpoint of 65 just moderate humidity. Anything between 60 and 65 not too bad. But when you get up over 70 it starts feeling tropical and we still have heavy humidity down in millville all the way down to the shore and a good portion of south jersey and delaware covered by that. Its going to be hot again today with a high of 91 at 3 oclock but humidity in philadelphia should remain manageable and it will be heat wave number six but weve had worse days in this heat wave than dam looks like another hot one tomorrow, more humid, too and perhaps some thunderstorms before of the heat wave arrives karen. Ill have details on all of that coming up. All right, dave. We are already seeing delays on i95. You can see how heavy this southbound traffic is at this point from Bridge Street to approaching the vine and thats because of the Police Checkpoints there not allowing any vehicles over 5 tons to continue further south on i95. This is the other end of the delay, the check on i95 northbound approaching the platt bridge where the check point is up ahead towards the platt bridge. Again, not allowing those 5ton vehicles ahead. So look youre already jammed on i95 northbound from bartram avenue to platt bridge. So feeling the effects of the dnc with those Police Checkpoints. Now were looking live at the schuylkill expressway. No big problem just yet. This is your westbound traffic there. Were looking live at University Avenue and thats your traffic heading towards the vine street expressway. And you want to expect extra traffic on the schuylkill and the vine because of the restrictions on i95. Now heres a look at 422. A little building volume eastbound coming in from pottstown or limerick. No big delay yet. Hopping one more time into new jersey, weve been talking about showers in new jersey but at this. 42 looking pretty good. Thats northbound traffic coming from turnersville or deptford with no delay. Now lets head over to Matt Odonnell at the dnc. Matt. Thanks so much karen. Philadelphia the nations birthplace played host to another historic moment. It happened right here at the Wells Fargo Center last night as the Democratic Party officially nominated a woman. Hillary clinton to run for president. And i cant believe we just put the biggest crack in that Glass Ceiling yet. Hillary clinton delivered a live video message from new york pumping up the crowd and even bringing some to tears. She thanked the delegates for all their support hadnt a special message for all of the little girls who were watching at home. Her husband former president bill clinton played the part of political spouse and touted his wifes more than 40 years of Public Service calling it a labor of love that will benefit everyone. Some people say, well, we need a change. Shes been around a long time. She sure has. And she sure has been worth every single year shes put into making peoples lives better. [cheers and applause] the former president added his wife gained praise from both republicans and democrats during ler tenure as the r from new york and secretary of state. Not everyone at the convention was happy the moment Hillary Clinton became the official nominee. Plus some people tried to jump a security fence at the arena. Action News Reporter Jeanette Reyes joins us live with that part of the story. Jeanette. Reporter good morning, matt. Yesterday was really like a drama field day. A lot going on of course inside of the Wells Fargo Center but also outside there was a spontaneous demonstration and several people arrested for trying to jump a fence. Take a listen or watch rather this video that we were able to get of those fence jumpers. We know that several were arrested but first i want to get to the protests. Infuriated delegates walked out when bernie made his announcement to switch his delegates to clinton. Sports swarmed a media tent chanting the world is watching. Others had their mouths taped shut and some sang this land is your land. Now, thats just one of the main protests in support of Bernie Sanders that weve seen around the city of philadelphia. There have been at least two or three of them per day and its really attracted the most people out of all the demonstrations weve seen throughout the week. Other organizations have also taken to the streets of philadelphia all of them really trying to take advantage of the spotlight the dnc has brought to the city. Take a listen. It was good that deb he bee Wasserman Schultz stepped down. That was a good positive first step but they need to be more forward, more open, more transparent. I thought you a fighting a fair fight in the field and it wasnt. Reporter and yesterday was really just a busy day for authorities here trying to keep everything secure. We understand that around 8 30 in the evening four people tried to jump a fence and get in a secret Service Secure zone they were not able to get inside of wells fargo but they were arrested and taken to a nearby detention center. They are set to be before a judge today in just a couple of hours. Well let you know how that turns out. Reporting live outside of the Wells Fargo Center je reyes channel6 action news. Matt. Thanks jeanette. And for tonight the democrats will continue rolling out their star players reason going right to the top. The country will get its first prime time production of virginia senator tim kaine clintons running mate and yes, he might deliver a portion of his speech in spanish. Also president obama and Vice President joe biden will deliver prime time speeches. Former Philadelphia Police commissioner Charles Ramsey will deliver remarks earlier in the program. Hillary clintons november opponent wont be too far away from this Convention Site today. Lets head back to the studio and gray hall for that. Gray. Okay, matt, thank you. Time now 6 37. Today donald trump will hold a town hall at Lackawanna College in scranton at the veterans of Foreign War Convention he knocked democrats for not talking specifically about isis at their convention. Trump also went a step further to blame democrats for the creation of that terror group. You didnt hear it. They dont wander to talk about it. Because in a very true way they really established isis because of weakness. This morning trump will campaign in florida before heading here to pennsylvania. The hot ticket last night was to a convention after party at philadelphias Reading Terminal market. Take a look at some new video of former president bill clinton arriving at the after party early this morning. It was a party being held in his honor. About 2,000 people were invited to dance the night away. Live coverage of the dnc continues for you all morning long and later today. You can count on the Action News Team led by jim gardner to bring you all the angles of this historic event right up to that closing gavel tomorrow. Hot today but some rain on the way right david. Yeah, in parts of the region. Storm tracker6 live double scan right now gray shows you down to the south there are a couple of sprinkles. That green that you see north of city of philadelphia just ground clutter. A batch of shower activity that was centered about an hour ago in New Castle County delaware. Now its shifted over towardsthe 55, the Atlantic City expressway starting to get wet in a couple of spots and this is really just light shower activity. Every now and then it gets a little moderate. Not the kind of rain thats going to put ponding and puddling on the roads but it might slow you down a little bit with that slightly wet road condition. Later today theres a chance of additional showers and even a popup thunderstorm mainly in the southern areas. As we take a look outside we have cloudy skies with a few breaks now over the ben franklin bridge and generally speaking the farther north you go through the region right now, the more sun and clearing that youre starting to see, the farther south, the more clouds and the farther south the more humid it is, too. In philadelphia it actually doesnt feel that bad. Temperature 77 degrees. Your dewpoint at 65 which is somewhat noticeable humidity. Anything over 60 on the dewpoint scale does indicate humidity but you got to go up to 70 before you get oppressive humidity and we have to go pretty far south to get that south of the southern south jersey and delaware thats where its stickier condition right now. Winds out of the northeast at 5 miles per hour. As we take a look at future tracker as we go through the morning and into the afternoon, there is that chance of an off and on shower or thunderstorm. This latest model run positions most of this down to the south of philadelphia. Does look like by 3 30 theres a bit more of that and then by 5 30 or 6 00 were probably still looking at at least some spotty showers and thunderstorms. Now this isnt going to be all day but if youre in the pool or on the beach if you hear thunder and see the skies going gray head in off the beach or get out of the pool. Looks like about 7 oclock its all over. The other part of the story is the continuation of the heat wave. Its not going to be as easily attained today. The numbers will be lower but it does look like well get into the 90s for a few hours this afternoon. By noon 88. By 3 oclock 91. Thats your high today. And then 85 by 5 oclock. Also a you get down into south jersey and delaware its more humid today but up in philadelphia and points north not so humid as its been the last several days. 91 is the high in philadelphia, 91 in wilmington, 92 in allentown, 93 today in reading and 91 in trenton. Looks like were in the 80s over most of south jersey with the thicker cloud cover and occasional rain. 84 on the beach in cape may. And the closeup view down the shore shows a lot of mid 80s all the way down to cape may and through bethany beach. U. V. Index running high especially the farther north you go along the coast where youre liable to see a little more sun. Your exclusive seven day in philadelphia a high today of 91, some sun, more sun to the north, less to the south and it will be hot and more humid in southern areas where that shower or thunderstorm chance exists today. Then thursday hot and more humid everywhere. 93 is the high. Theres a chance of a strong thunderstorm in the evening or later at night and then friday finally we break the heat wave, we get down into the mid 80s. It will still be warm and muggy with a spotty shower or thunderstorm but at least that higher high in the 90s will be over. And for the cominnd a little humid, mid 80s, a spotty thunderstorm saturday sunday but not a washout. Hoping for dry conditions for that sunday night union match. That would be good. Thank you. It is 6 41. Up next another update from Matt Odonnell who is lie at the dnc. Hell tell you about some brave mothers who shined light on some of their darkest days and a call to End Gun Violence in america. Later a little known delegate gets a lot of attention during roll call. Bernie sanders brother. A disabled vehicle causing a little problem just cleared on i95 approaching woodhaven road. Were seeing delays on i95. Ill take you live to the Police Checkpoints when action news comes right back. Its a Pretty Simple question is pat toomeys agenda your agenda . Toomey voted seven times to defund planned parenthood. He even tried to shut down the federal government in order to eliminate funding for planned parenthood. And toomeys against a womans right to choose and supports overturning roe v. Wade which would allow states to criminalize abortion. Pat toomey hes focused on his own agenda, not us. Majority forward is responsible for the content of this advertising. Lets check in now with karen rogers. Theres some closures around town, some other issues. What does it look like. Weve had challenges navigating around issues with the dnc on the road. Looking live, i95 at the exit for the platt bridge and the schuylkill.
