when you walked outside, you're really going to like this morning. 54, philadelphia. 52 in allentown. 57 in dover. this is about 5 or so degrees cooler than yesterday morning at this time across the area. philadelphia, though, coming in almost 10 degrees cooler right now. most of the area right around 5 to 10 degrees cooler than we were yesterday morning. as we go through the day today, though, nice and dry on the radar. we have no rain heading our way until the weekend. take a look at what we're going to see through the afternoon. temperatures in the mid-70s for philadelphia, trenton, also reading. wilmington coming in, in the mid-70s. with this dry weather in place, it's going to be a pretty perfect day. we'll talk more about the forecast for this weekend coming up. let's check out the roadways this morning with katy zachry. >> hi, sheena. thanks so much. i want to take a quick look at our drive times. no major delays to report on any of our majors in pennsylvania. 95 as you make your way southbound between wood haven and the vine street expressway. it's a quick drive of about 12 minutes. the schuylkill expressway from the blue route into center city, that's the same, about 12 minutes. and no problems or delays on the blue route. taking a live look outside, the vine street expressway at 24th street, we are still seeing some of that overnight construction, which has closed the vine between the schuylkill and 95. i'll let you know when that clears. and finally for drivers through new jersey, this is a live look outside at camden right at route 38 and route 70. no major issues to report. tracy? >> katy, thanks. it's 4:02. this morning we're following breaking news in south philadelphia. one person is dead after flames ripped through a home overnight. matt delucia is live on scene. what do we know at this point? >> reporter: well, i just spoke with the new fire commissioner. he tells me one person did die here in this fire. it's a two-story row home. it happened just before 2:00 this morning. you can see it's still very active. firefighters tell me they're going to be out here for much of the early morning hours. you see the home right there. they have some of the fire investigators going through with their flash flights. take a look at video from earlier this morning. of course, you have a lot of people on this road. this happened in the middle of the row block. now fire officials are telling us an elderly man was found dead on the first floor of this home. we're on the 1700 block of taylor street in south philadelphia. the cause is still under investigation. it's unclear at this point if there were any working smoke detectors. we talked with the fire commissioner about that a few minutes ago. take a listen. >> every fire is a tragedy. we want to remind everybody the importance of smoke alarms and being safe around fire. >> reporter: and as we take another live look here at the scene, you can see they have all their hoses still out there, but the fire is out. right now is just a cleanup operation. a couple of the neighboring occupants were evacuated temporarily, but the fire commissioner tells us they should be allowed back in once everything is cleaned up out here. of course, this is going to take quite some time, and there are plenty of fire crews still remaining on scene. so this area around taylor street, right by moore street, all filled with fire activity. not a good area to be in at this hour. live in south philadelphia, i'm matt delucia, nbc 10 news. we're also following breaking news from overseas. iraqi officials report a deadly car bombing in baghdad. the bomb went off in a commercial area and killed at least 15 people, wounding dozens of others. we're working to learn more about the attack. philadelphia's full city council will now consider the so-called soda tax after the bill passed its first hurdle last night. a council committee approved a consensus measure to put a 1.5 cent per ounce tax increase on sugary and artificially sweetened soft drinks. the tax will raise $91 million next year. mayor jim kenny has been pushing for a 3 cent per ounce tax to pay for universal pre-k, community schools, and to reinvest in parks and rec centers. >> it was a bait and switch. it's actually being used to plug a budget hole. what retailers tell us is they're going to be forced to pass this tax on to consumers. >> traditionally if the bills come out of committee with a significant vote, it will pass on final passage. >> council is scheduled to pass the final vote next thursday. it's 4:05. you'll soon have more places to buy wine in pennsylvania. yesterday governor tom wolf signed a bill allowing wine sales in licensed grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, and dell delis. it will also give state stores more flexibility over their hours and prices. this takes effect in august. the governor predicts the stores can now sell wine, and that will add jobs. welt, it's looking more unlikely you'll be able to carry booze on atlantic city boardwalk this summer. according to the press of atlantic city, council pulled the ordinance from its agenda yesterday that would permit open containers of alcohol on the boards. the council prth said he delayed the vote to allow the state beverage and control board to take a closer look at the ordinance. it will be july before it could be considered again. happening today, phillies aim to strike out als, also known as lou gehrig's disease. here's a live picture from citizens bank park, where the phillies festival begins this afternoon. the entire team will sign autographs for thousands of fans. here's video from last year's event. fans will have a chance to throw in the bull pen, bid on silent auction sports memorabilia. since the '80s, the phillies have raised more than $16 million for the als association. this morning, a 10-year-old boy is expected to be okay after he fell from scaffolding outside an elementary school in northeast philadelphia. nbc 10 was at hamilton elementary. district officials say the incident happened after school hours, and the scaffolding was there for a mural project. we're working to find out if the injured boy is a student at that school. well, people all over our region are cleaning up debris through yesterday. trees fell across the road, taking down power lines in philadelphia's east oak lane neighborhood. a tree smashed into an suv that parked on the street, but no one was hurt. now to delaware. nbc 10 found power lines and trees all over the road. this is north wilmington. at the jersey shore, the winds were so strong, they ripped the roof off this apartment building in atlantic city. you can see the roof torn off at the top. from our south jersey bureaus, crews have been working to store power to homes in burlington and camden counties. part of the pavement buckled when a tree uprooted and toppled on to this home on willow dale drive in cherry hill. the family wasn't home when it happened. also, we got a picture from a woman who was driving this car when a tree crashed down on it in camden. >> only thing i can say is the lord loves me. you hear me? he loves me. >> power crews worked through the evening to fix downed wires. at last check, atlantic city electric report just fewer than power this morning in camden, burlington, and gloucester counties. well, what a difference a day makes across the area. that's what we're seeing right now. wind speeds this morning right around 5 to 10 miles an hour, but it's going to be breezy as we go through the afternoon. cape may seeing winds sustained right near 15 miles an hour. as we go through the day, they could be gusting near 25. nothing like yesterday. today is, in fact, going to be a very perfect day. also, don't forget with your first alert neighborhood weather, your seven-day forecast is always scrolling right at the bottom of your screen for you. temperatures this morning are a little cooler than they were yesterday morning, running 5 to 10 degrees cooler across the area. 54 in philadelphia right now. 51, wilmington. pennsylvania suburbs around 50 degrees. our new jersey suburbs are coming in quite a bit cooler too. 53, washington township. 52 in woods town. lumberton, 54 degrees. we have some areas in mercer county coming in, in the 40s. princeton, 45 degrees. so this is actually the type of a morning where you may need the light jacket. yesterday morning maybe you didn't, it just felt comfortable, but this morning you might want that light jacket for the morning hours. not this afternoon though. it's going to be really nice outside today. clear skies on the radar. no rain heading our way until saturday. we're going to be in the clear until saturday. here's the planner for today for

the area. there's a chance we could see some severe storms saturday, mostly in the afternoon and evening. this yellow-shaded area shows us the best spot we could see these. it includes the philadelphia area and points north and west. just something to keep in mind as we go into the weekend before you start making plans. sunday does look dry, but saturday we are looking at that threat for potentially strong to severe thunderstorms. we'll talk more about this and take a look at your weekend forecast. and if you're heading to the shore, we'll look at that the forecast too coming up.

spoke with nbc nightly news anchor lester holt last night about the next phase of the election season. clinton says she won't trade insults with donald trump. >> he can run a campaign of insults. i'm running a campaign of issues that are going to produce results for the american people. i'm going to talk about why he's unqualified to be president based on his own words and his deeds. >> clinton also called trump terpe temperamentally unfit to be president. trump clinched the nomination in early may, but he's had a slow start on raising campaign cash and getting organized. now he's scrambling to make up for last time. he's also facing fallout after his attacks on the mexican heritage of the judge who's overseeing a lawsuit against trump university. >> it was a wasted five weeks. he sewed up the nomination on may 3rd, and here we are on june 7th, june 8th. the only thing we're talking about is about a judge that no give a damn about. >> trump was more crafted and careful in his remarks following primary favictories on tuesday. he reassured the republican party of his intent to unify, not divide. but it may not be working in the keystone state. a new survey finds 46% of philadelphians think the philly fanatic is more qualified to be president than donald trump. just 40% picked trump. this poll did not ask the same question compares the fanatic to hillary clinton. philadelphia is in talks to buy protest insurance for the democratic national convention. according to a report by our partners at news work, here's video from the republican convention in 2004. back
