And john del giorno is over the scene now in news copter 7. John. Lori, we are looking at the largest one of these closures thats going to affect the morning commute. This is the fdr drive. You see the northbound closure here at 96th street. Those of you who travel the fdr drive, the shooting took place at the pedestrian bridge a little north of here. Its a familiar landmark as the drive comes up and passes randalls island. There is an evident search ongoing which is why the fdr drive remains shut down. The closure is both directions between 96th street and the rfk triborough bridge. Youre going to see headlights coming down the drive. Thats the harlem river drive leading spot closure. This delay is going to spill over on to some other roads. With the fdr drive out of commission there you see the harlem river drive delay. Over to the mayor deegan this is live picture right at yankees stadium. You see that bumpertobumper as well. If you travel the upper east side, even around the triborough bridge you absolutely want to allow extra time this morning and avoid the fdr drive. Were live over the east side, john del giorno channel 7 Eyewitness News. Thank you. Its 6 15, and right now the search is on for the gunman in a road rage incident that killed a 4yearold girl. The shooting happened in albuquerque new mexico as the girl rode in the backseat of a car with her parents. Her father told police that another driver opened fire hitting the child in the head. Investigators have not released any information about a possible suspect. Were getting very conflicting information from witnesses, and that conflicting information includes the color of the vehicle that was involved whether it had two doors or four doors. Police do not believe the family knew the shooter. 6 15. The upcoming president ial election isnt the only political race making headlines today. Republican paul ryan says that he is willing to serve as speaker of the house. The congressman from wisconsin ran for Vice President three years ago. Late last night he told republicans he will run for speaker if he can get the endorsement of the major caucuses. Among his conditions stopping the constant leadership challenges and crises plaguing the party. What i told members is if you can agree to these requests and if i can truly be a unifying figure, then i will gladly serve. Ryan had been adamant about not seeking this post following John Boehners resignation preferring to stay on as chairman of the house ways and means committee. Good morning america will have the latest on the race for speaker coming up at 7 right after Eyewitness News this morning. It is 6 16. Time to get a check on the accuweather forecast. Meteorologist bill evans is live outside our studios on the upper west side. This morning it is have been comfortable. We have a very light wind. Weve got very cool temperatures, but yet at the same time these temperatures are pretty close to the normal average afternoon High Temperature for this time of the year. Heres a look outside from our cameras in high definition. Were looking from brooklyn over to the lower east side. 16 degrees, the humidity 47 . The pressure has been rising. So all this points to whats going to be a great day today. Look at that barometer, 30. 29. Normally about 30. 00 is our mark of fair weather. Yesterdays high was 70. Normal is 62. So were starting out at 59, so were almost to our average afternoon High Temperature. Were looking at a beautiful sunrise at 7 13. Its more like midseptember or midjune. You take your pick. Its a cool wind that will come back with fall weather thursday night into friday, a passing shower might come with that, and then well have cool weather for saturday, maybe a passing shower on sunday. So were looking at beautiful weather, 60 up towards the bronx along riverdale, 57 eastern end of long island, and 46 up to the north. These numbers are quite mild. Kid toes at the bus is to be, a low southwest wind holds off this front to the north and the one to the west for at least today and tomorrow. Then that front starts to sag our way. You see that thursday afternoon theres that front at noon up toward the catskills. It kind of slides on through with a sprinkle, mostly to the north. Thats 10 00 thursday night. There goes the front and we clear out. Beautiful weather for friday, back to more normal temperatures. After school today were looking at . St ask about 73 to 75 degrees. Patchy clouds, pleasantly warm, a september to remember as we get to tomorrow we still have sun and clouds, 74, and then a shower doesnt come in until tomorrow evening. Your accuweather forecast at the bus stop, oh, in chicago tonight 8 00 its 74 degrees at game time. Their afternoon high is going to be 77 to 78 degrees in chicago. Were looking at 75 here, sun and clouds, a nice little wind out of the southwest. Tonight weve got skies that are clear, the lows about 55. Tomorrow its pleasantly warmer back to 74. Heres your accuweather seven day forecast. 60 on friday. 58 on saturday, and then a couple of showers on sunday. And you see were cool next week. Were in the 50s and 40s for lows at night, but no harsh cold. Weve got an el nino going on out west in the pacific, so that pushes the jet stream to the north and allows pacific air across the area. So as we get to halloween next week, you know, superman doesnt wear an overcoat. You wont have to wear a coat over the costume. Good weather when we start the world series. Mild weather into the first couple weeks of november. Over to heather, massive problems in our commute. Lets talk about the closures along the east side of manhattan. We just heard john del giorno who is up above. The fdr drive is closed both ways between 96th street and the rfk triborough bridge. The ramps to the northbound fdr drive are closed. You cannot access the fdr drive from 49th street or 63rd street as you try to go northbound. Now we heard john del giorno and we also saw the pictures that john was showing us, harlem river drive southbound side starting to get jam packed. As john was saying and pointed out to us, the traffic is now starting to spill down on to the deegan southbound. Its picking up a lot of alternate volume. I would not be surprised if we start seeing volume coming inbound at the George Washington bridge. Thats going to start shortly as well. If you are commuting and normally go to the George Washington bridge or along the east side you want to utilize mass transit today which is on or close to schedule. Thank you. Its tough 20, and coming up, the future is now. How you can take a ride like marty mcfly today on this very special anniversary. Special be whatever life throws your way, youve got t. J. Maxx keep your standards high, and your spending low. Wall street bounced back today. At the opening bell the dow jones started 13 points down at 17217. Nasdaq and s p 500 began lower as well.

Overseas stocks were volatile, japans nikkei average gained 2 , chinas hang seng lost remember the day when marty mcfly asked when are we, new yorkers are getting to celebrate the answer with a ride in a delorean, lift the car service has a special setting in its app called mcfly mode. Thats where you can summon your time machine. You need to hit 88 miles an hour to time jump. The mayors speed limit is a little below that with 25. It is 6 24. Youre never more than 7 minutes away from weather and traffic and bill. Here we go, we take a look at some temperatures. These are really warm for this hour of the day. 52 newark, elizabeth to Staten Island. These numbers way warm with a southwest wind and a dry humidity. Were looking at whats going to be a Beautiful Day today.

A pretty nice day. Mcfly, hello. Heathers looking at your commute. Lets talk about whats happening because of these closures ive been telling you about all morning long. Here you go, here is the harlem river drive, delays getting enter the closure scene. We knew this was going to cause major traffic issues for commuters who travel from the northern tip of manhattan coming down, and then the deegan as well is starting to really pick up some volume as john del giorno is showing us from news copter 7 getting down into yankee stadium. The willis avenue bridge is the willis avenue bridge is closed from manhattan getting over into the bronx. The other thing that im suspecting is that the George Washington bridge is going to start picking up volume because of these delays getting down the harlem river dry and the deegan. Theyre spilling across the George Washington bridge as well. As you can see the upper and lower jam packed. You want to avoid taking anything on the northern section of manhattan. Lori over to you.
