Very comfortable air because as we take a look at the dewpoints it is extremely oppressive especially philadelphia down to the south with those dewpoints back into the lower 70s. 75 in Sea Isle City is truly tropical air. 73 in wilmington and upper 60s in the Lehigh Valley. When you factor in those dewpoints with the air temperature it feels more like 91 in philadelphia, 92 in wilmington, 91 in millville lower 80s at the shore and on the verge of 90 degrees in berks county. As you look at double scan live radar we have upper level low pressure system between collateral ton and pittsburgh. Closer to the low is where the atmosphere can fuel itself with some of these downpours and thunderstorms. Theres one renegade one moving into Sussex County and most of them moving from the south to the north so its not pushing from the west to the east so what were going to go through here this evening and overnight and into tomorrow morning, some very spotty downpours or a quick thunderstorm. Best bet would be the farther you are west of i95, again right now nothing in the viewing area, heavy downpours and there could be an isolated severe storm but again, that is very minimal chance for that. When i come back well talk about even more heat and humidity and a better chance of some downpours and storms in the middle of the week. Well have the timing in that full accuweather forecast.

At the roots of our problems this afternoon the roads. Several accidents giving us issues. Speeds dropping as a result rick and alicia but on the vine street expressway we had one here on the eastbound side that just cleared out. It was clocking the left lane and the shoulder there. Everything moved out of the way now here by broad street but still a little bit slow as you come away from the schuylkill expressway. Middletown township bucks county has a crash this afternoon thats closing 413 near penncrest drive. Thats a good spot to avoid. As we said at the top of the hour avoid highway one in bear New Castle County because of that overturned dump truck with debris all over the roadway. Its impacting both directions of travel. It has both the northbound lanes closed. Just the shoulders squeezing by but southbound youre looking at just 7 Miles Per Hour because there the left lane is blocked as well. So, 13 a much better bet or even 301 but highway one this afternoon not where you want to find yourself. We had a vehicle fire on the new jersey turnpike southbound in gloucester county. Thats cleared out. Patco new construction schedules took effect over the weekend so if things look a little different today thats why. Lets grab the ipad do the commuter report on this back to work monday afternoon. Our friend diane says watch out for a crash along route 73 in winslow and well check it again, rick and alicia in the next half hour. Okay. Thanks matt. President obama is updating the nation on the fight against isis. Intelligence diplomatic, economic, development and perhaps most importantly the power of our values. Last month i ordered additional actions in support of our strategy. I just met with my National Security team as part of our regular effort to assess our efforts. Whats working and what we can do better. Secretary carter chairman dempsey i want to thank you and your team for welcoming us and your leadership. Including general off the thirty nine is leading the military campaign and i want to summarize briefly where we stand. I want to start by repeterring what ive said since the beginning. This will not be quick. This is a long term campaign. Isil is opportunistic and it is nimble. In many places in syria and iraq including urban areas its dug in among innocent civilian populations. It will take time to root them out. In doing and goingy doing so must be the job of local forces on the ground with training from our coalition. As with any military effort there will be periods of progress but there are also going to be some setback as weve seen with isils gains in ramadi and iraq and central and southern syria. But today its also important for us to recognize the progress thats been made. Our coalitions now hit isil with more than 5,000 airstrikes. Weve taken out thousands of fighting positions tanks vehicles bomb factories training camps. We eliminated thousands of fighters including senior isil commanders. And over the past year weve seen that when we have an effective partner on the ground isil can be pushed back. In iraq, isil lost at the mosul dam. Isil lost at mount sindra. Isil lost rep petedly across province. It lost a quarter of the Populated Areas it had seized in iraq. In syria isil lost at koban. Reporter . Endured losses across Northern Syria including the key city of talibia. Denying them a supply to its base of operations in syria. These are reminder that is isils strategic weaknesses are real. Isil is surrounded by countries and communities committed to its destruction. It has no air force. Our coalition owns the skies. Isil is backed by into nation. It relies on fear. Its untreery strained brutality often alienate those under its rule. Isil can and will be defeated. Indeed were end tense if i go our efforts against isils base in syria. Airstrikesy strikes will continue to target oil and gas facilities that fund so much of their operations. Were going after the isil leadership and infrastructure in syria. The heart of isil that purges funds and propaganda to people around the world. Partnering with other countries sharing more information, strengthening laws and Border Security allows to us work to stem the flow of foreign fighters to syria as well as iraq and to stem obviously the flow of those fighters back into our own countries. This continues to be a challenge and working together all nations are going to need to do more but were starting to see some progress. Were going to continue to crack down on isils illicit finance around the world. By the way if Congress Really wants to help in this effort, they can confirm mr. Adams steuben our nominee for treasury under secretary to lead this effort. This is a vital position to our Counter Terrorism efforts. Nobody suggests hes not qualified. Hes highly qualified. Unfortunately his nomination has been languishing up on the hill and we need the senate to confirm him as soon as possible. Meanwhile we continue to ramp up our training and support of local forces that are fighting isil on the ground. As i said before, this aspect of our strategy was moving too slowly but the fall of ramadi has galvanized the Iraqi Government so with the additional steps i ordered last month were speeding up training of isil forces. More sunni volunteers are coming forward. Some are already being trained and they can be a new force against isil. We continue to accelerate the delivery of critical equipment including antitank weapons to Iraqi Security forces. Including the tribal fighters and i made it clear to my team that we will do nor train and equip the moderate opposition in syria. Now all this said, our strategy recognizes that no amount of military force will end the terror that is isil unless its matched by a broader effort political and economic. That addresses the underlying conditions that have allowed isil to gain traction. They have filled a void and we have to make sure that as we push them out that void is filled. So as iraqi cities and towns are liberated from isil were working with iraq and the United Nations to help them rebuild services and governments they need and we continue to support the efforts of Prime Minister abbad dee to forge an inclusive and effective Iraqi Government that unites all people of iraq. In syria the only way that the civil will end in a way that the Syrian People can unite against isil is a transition to a new government without bashir assad a government that serves all syrians. I discussed this with our gulf cooperation partners at camp david and during my recent call with president putin. I made it clear the United States will continue to work for such a transition and a glimmer of good news is i think an increasing recognition on the part of all the players in the region that given the extraordinary threat that isil poses, it is important for us to Work Together as opposed to cross purposes to make sure that an inclusive Syrian Government exists. While the focus of our discussion todays was on iraq and syria isil ideology posed a great threat beyond the region. Weve seen deadly attacks in tunisia, kuwait and egypts sinai peninsula. We see a growing isil presence in libya and attempts to establish foot holds across north africa, the middle east the caucuses and southeast asia. Weve seen attacks in ottawa, sidney, france and copenhagen. So ive called on the International Community to unite against this scourge of violent extremism. In this fight the United States continues to lead. When necessary to prevents attacks against our nation, well take direct action against terrorists. Well continue to also partner with nations from afghanistan and nigeria to build up their security forces. Were going to workday and night with allies and partners to disrupt terrorist networks and thwart attacks and to some other isil cells that may be trying to develop in other parts of the world. This includes remaining vigilant in protecting against attacks here in the homeland. Now, i think its important for us to recognize the threat of violent extremism is not restricted to any one community. Here in the United States weve seen all kinds of home grown terrorism and tragically recent history reminds us how even a single individual motivated by a late full ideology with access to dangerous weapons can inflict horrendous harm on americans. So our efforts to counter violent extremism must not target any one community because of their faith or background including patriotic Muslim Americans who are partners in keeping our country safe. That said, we also have to acknowledge that isil has been particularly effective at reaching out to and recruiting Vulnerable People around the world including here in the United States and they are targeting muslim communities around the world. Numerous individuals have been arrested across the country for plotting attacks or attempting to join isil in syria and iraq. Two men inspired by isil opened fire in texas and because of our success over the year in including our Homeland Security weve made it harder for terrorists to carry out large scale attacks like 9 11 here at home but the threat of lone wolves or small cells of terrorist center citys is complex. Its one of the most difficult challenges we face and preventing these kinds of attacks on american soil is going to require sustained effort so i want to repeat the good news is that because of extraordinary efforts from Law Enforcement as well as our military intelligence, we are doing a better job at preventing any large scale attacks on the homeland. On the other hand these small individual lone wolf attacks or small cells become hard to detect and they become more soffit indicated using new technologies and that means that were going have to pick up our game to preventer these attacks. Its also true why ultimately in order for us to defeat groups like isil and alqaeda is going to also require us to discredit their ideology, the twisted thinking that draws Vulnerable People into their ranks. As ive said before and i know our military leaders agree this broader challenge of countering violent extremism is not simply a military effort. Ideologys are not defeated with guns, theyre defeated by better ideas. The more attractive and compelling vision. The United States will continue to do our part by working with partners to counter isils hateful propaganda especially online. Well constantly reaffirm through words and deeds that well never be at war with islam. Were fighting terrorists who distort islam and whose victims are mostly muslims. Around the world well insist on partnering with muslim communities as they seek security prosperity and the dignity that they deserve and were going to expect those communities to step up in terms of pushing back as hard as they can.

Talking about the heat out there, rick, kind of feels like its in the 90s but we didnt get that. No, 87, 86, 87 so far in philadelphia but felt like it was 91 when you combined the humidity thats very tropical this afternoon. If you were out and about like the action cam got a little sweaty at times this afternoon in franklin square. You can see a few folks on the carousel and that little breeze to help you out spinning you around cooling you off. Most the area, it is hot humid but theres a little speck here and there with some downpours and a quick little thunderstorm that has developed south and west of newark delaware, west of bear, moving right across 40 and then i95 heading to the north into southern parts of Chester County eventually, nothing severe there, nothing severe to the north either, just some downpours near green lane, also the northeast extension about to approach near quakertown and a few north of the Lehigh Valley but again, theres that lightning detector, zero in the last 15 minutes. As we look at the heat index again it feels like 91 philadelphia. The same for millville. 92 in wilmington, 85 in the Lehigh Valley. So, it does feel a lot more oppressive than it did over the upcoming weekend. And its all because of High Pressure off the coast. In addition to that high, we have low pressure near pittsburgh and you can see most of the action is west of washington and that i95 corridor down to richmond. Closer to the energy of that low but we just have a few scattered that are popping under the heating of the day. 68 73, thats your split in temperature overnight tonight with that spotty thunderstorm around. Otherwise its warm and sultry for most of us and in fact that High Pressure that is off to our south and east, a bermuda high since its situated right off of bermuda sending southerly winds our way so it brings in the heat and humidity again tomorrow, up to 90 degrees. The first front is going to lift away so any spotty thunderstorm looks to be in the first part of the day tomorrow and then a mixture of sun and clouds in the afternoon and then this cold front will collapse through here on wednesday throw a lot of clouds our way midweek an few showers and thunderstorms around with temperatures again in the upper 80s to near 90. 75 the ocean temperature. Its like bath water right now so if youre down there tomorrow, enjoy it. 82 degrees, clouds and sunshine. There could be a stray thunderstorm the first part of the day tomorrow but again it is mainly dry at the shore for your tuesday. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecasts its hot its humid tomorrow at 90 degrees. A few popups anywhere between the Morning Hours until about noon, early afternoon and then it starts to dry out tomorrow afternoon and evening. But that front closes in on wednesday with numerous downpours and thunderstorms of 90 degrees. Another ripple of low develops along that front that stalls on thursday. So still an opportunity for some popups of 86 but that front will push to the south here by the end of the week dropping humidity, really nice friday of 86 and that kind of excels right through the beginning of the weekend here. It stays the same. 87 on saturday with low humidity. But then well start to kick up the temperatures and the humidity sunday into monday. Maybe a couple of scattered storms sunday and especially monday. Wednesday, thursday, the best chance for those thunderstorms around. Okay, typical summer week. That it is. Adam thank you.
