Time now to talk to accuweather if you thought it felt like summer yesterday, its bathing suit weather today. Lets take a look right now at Storm Tracker 6 live double scan. We are dry you can see sprinkles trying to form but not reaching ground right now. Lets see what it looks like as sky 6 this morning. Weve got partly cloudy skies. Thats a change from yesterday. The other change is how mild it is. 62 degrees already. The dew point 59 degrees inching up there a little bit. And thats partly because the winds are out of the South Southwest pumping up that more mild and sticky air mass. The pressure falling, the ocean temperature is 68. Satellite and radar you see more cloud cover in our area, we see showers out to the north and west. We told you this front is going to come through our area and then it just kind of stalls. This gives us a bit more cloud cover than weve seen lately and a shot at a shower maybe north and west over the next couple days. Not a lot of rain with that until after the weekend. Lets take a look at the forecast and where were going with this. Well have mostly cloudy skies but a nice start to the day at 7 00 a. M. 62 degrees. And you can see by 9 00 a. M. , 66. Clouds mixing with sunshine today. By 11 00 a. M. Youre in the low 70s. Upper 70s lunchtime, 81 degrees at 3 00. At 5 00, 80 degrees. Coming down from your high of 83 degrees. So even warmer than it has been. In fact temperatures are going to be a good 1015 degrees above average for next several days. Weve got this area of High Pressure acting like a heat pump. The flow around it, clockwise flow, brings this up out of the southwest so those temperatures are really getting up there. And then we look at early next week and were watching for a plume of moisture. We could see 13 inches of rain. Its tropical moisture from the remnants of what will be a Tropical Storm. Right now the National Hurricane center had an update, its just a tropical depression with winds holding at 30 miles per hour. We expect this to form into Tropical Storm nate perhaps a category 1 hurricane and you can see by about sunday morning it looks like it could make land fall anywhere between new orleans and jacksonville. It has it coming towards our direction. It will feel tropical around here with high humidity and some downpours. Thats early next week. Until then were pretty dry. Heres your forecast. Warm today, more clouds than weve seen lately but some sunshine as well. 83 degrees. Chance for a sprinkle north and west. Friday partly sunny 81. Saturday very warm, 84 degrees with clouds and sun. Humid on sunday. A stray shower around the eagles game mostly dry but kind of sticky, 82 degrees. So staying in the 80s for several days. Monday is the day where we anticipate this rain coming our way. Some tropical downpours from the remnants of a Tropical Storm. 78 degrees. It looks like that rain could linger on to tuesday and that will hold temperatures off to 78. On wednesday clouds and sun 77 degrees. Normally this time of year by saturday the temperatures normal high would be 69. Here were talking 80s, fall is not in sight. Time now 5 12. Hockey is back even though fall isnt here. Highlights from the flyers Season Opener coming up. And a bizarre robbery is caught on video. Why this person may actually be a professional cook next. Several American Special forces were killed in an ambush overseas. Matt . Good morning, matt. This is where the schuykill expressway splits with the vine expressway and i would love to be in these drivers ears this morning telling them to go left. Dont keep going straight because if you do youre not going to get through. Well tell you about the motorcycle crash just ahead. Its here. The first night your teenage daughter stays out way too late. But after three years of specialist cancer care, to guide her into remission, you couldnt be happier about it. Aetna. You dont join us, we join you. This morning. You can see the crews out here on the scene. Both eastbound lanes shut down headed towards pash yunk avenue and all the traffic is being forced off at grays ferry avenue, university avenue, and then they have to detour through University City. The bottom line is you dont want to get that far. Bail at the vine expressway and go across town. I think even easier keep going over to 95 and take 95 sbd that will get you down towards the airport. But the schuykill eastbound still blocked because of that motorcycle crash and it sounds like it could be blocked for a little while. Whats not blocked anymore is the malvern easy pass interchange on the pennsylvania turnpike overnight construction has cleared your zones are gone which is good news. Lets check this spot right about here. Its 4 22 we had overnight work here it too is cleared. Were ready for you if youre coming eastbound on 422 in toward king of prussia this morning. This is where you dont want to go. Bad accident with a fuel spill, west avenue just west of route 45 main street. The action cam was on the scene. Check out the truck involved in the accident. There was also a substantial fuel spill close to fishers market. Locally bailey street could be an alternate. And you may remember that big truck accident yesterday in atlantic city. Still a lane blocked as they clean up and theres also work on the garden state northbound as you head toward the ac expressway.

Two other Army Green Berets were also injured in the attack. The attackers are believed to be al qaeda militants. A handful of inmates climbed on top of a dorm yesterday.
