You notice the drop in humidity today. It was that cold front yesterday that broke a week of heat and humidity and in tilden township again it was just confirmed by the National Weather service an ef1 rating tornado, that rating goes from a scale of zero the weakest to one the strongest.

We get that spin in the storm. Theres hamburg and then it moved to the east and weakened but it was still a pretty powerful storm. As we look at satellite presently right now hardly a cloud in the sky because of that northwesterly wind and that drier air that has filtered in behind that front. Temperatures a little bit below average and it feels nice, 83 in allentown, 85 philadelphia. Millville right now 83 degrees and equally as warm at the shore. Those dewpoints any time theyre below 60 degrees, they were in the mid 70s yesterday during the storms, you can see weve dropped back into the 50s across the northern part of our area and that is why it feels so dry out. So if youre stepping out on the town this friday evening 85 degrees at 7 oclock, 80 by 8 oclock and then as we get in deeper into the evening temperatures in the middle 70s and very comfortable. You wont be breaking a sweat if youre going to be eating outdoors alfresco this evening.

Otherwise, inland locations tomorrow its pretty sunny first thing in the morning. As we look at that weekend kickoff in the city, full sun swarm less humid 89 degrees. Again, morning clouds at the shore. There could be a brief shower far southern areas, afternoon sun breaks out, 81 and beautiful in the poconos, wall to wall sunshine, low humidity and a high of 80 degrees.

Whats behind the not so healthy hybrid taking fast food to a whole new level. Wow. And meteorologist adam joseph is back. Fried chicken crust . Adam joseph is back with a full forecast when accuweather and action news at 4 00 continues. I just thought about that. A cameraman captured a terrifying moment for a Fire Department in arkansas. Watch what happened when two firefighters enter need a burn ended into indenterred into a burning home. A back draft exploding from the attic of a house. It happens when oxygen is rapidly reintroduced to a fire that has been burning in an enclosed space. Incredibly the firefighters were okay. A mother and her baby who were inside were able to escape without injury. Wow. Two thrill seekers in wisconsin got more of a thrill than they bargained for this week. Check out what happened to them seconds after they buckled into a bungee ride at an a Amusement Park. Oh, my god. What you just heard was the rope on the ride called the catapult snapping. The cord slammed down with such force it left a 4inch deep hole in the concrete. The riders a 13yearold boy an family friend say they had no idea how close to death they came until they saw the video. It was extremely loud. I didnt really know what was happening. I mean, it was like a split second, thats how fast it came down. If he they would have launched us and it would have broke on the way back down, i mean, it could have killed us both. Today the theme park ordered the owner of the ride to remove it from the property. A Television Crew was interviewing a Police Officer in canada when other news story broke out right in front of them. Difficult to determine that that. Hey. whistle . Now is the time. Hey a get back in the car. Grow up. That was the officers order to two men involved in a road rage fight on the side of a highway in toronto. Police say the argument may have turned violent if not for the scolding of the Police Officer. Still not sure what started the dispute. Both men eventually left without throwing any punches. At the big board now with the big talkers beginning with an 11yearold brave decision to confront his online bullies. For the past year, Logan Fairbanks and his father have been posting videos of pranks there they play on one another on youtube. But when logan noticed a stream of cruel comments directed at him, he decided to film a much more serious video. Over the course of two minutes, the fifth grader calmly read the hateful words that strangers were directing at him. Im surprised he fits in the front seat. Squeal piggy squeal. I hope that he dies. He is so ugly and big. Pretty powerful. The video ends with logans message back out to the world calling for people to stop bullying others online. He also urges those who have been targeted by strangers not to let the hurtful words affect them. You can watch the entire video by going to our web site, 6abc. Com. Okay. Do you remember or should i say how could you forget the argument that divided the internet a few months ago . Just when you thought it was safe enough to stop wondering if it was blue and black or white and gold, theres another color debate to argue over. This time its all about the shoe. Twitter user eva monroe posed a simple question to her followers on wednesday which color of nail polish matches the shoes the best. Somehow that request for advice started a firestorm of fuscia fueled fury. Some say the shoe is clearly purple while others contend come on, its obviously pink. At the moment, monroes tweet has over 6,000 retweets but despite all the attention she hasnt been able to get a definite answer as to which nail follow tissue she should actually pick. And this story is for rick. Finally if you love pizza but hate the idea of a breaded crust, kentucky Fried Chicken has the answer to your prayers. Behold the clizz. A chicken pizza that replaces the crust with a Fried Chicken breast. Our friends over at buzz feed have declared that the concoction has all of the strength of a regular pizza but none of the weaknesses. Unfortunately though if youre looking to try this mashup in the United States, are you out of luck for right now. The delicacy is only available at kfc locations rick, in the philippines. So youll have to go there. But someone on the internet actually pointed out that you can probably recreate this hybrid by putting pizza toppings on top of chicken parm. Still sounds good either way. Well try it. Thank you sharrie. Time for another check on the highways and by ways tonight. Matt pelman in the action News Traffic Center center with an update.

If youre head towards center city on the ben franklin bridge expect delays because of the construction there in the two right lanes. And the Vans Warped Tour going on over in camden today. That means mlk boulevard is closed until 11 oclock tonight and new jersey transits river line southbound is running with 15 to 20 minute delays. Headed down the shore not bad at this point on the a.
