through your thursday. there's bermuda, hamilton, one of the towns in bermuda right under the line of fire. as we move through thursday, this is something a close eye on. we'll have to keep. because it could be a landfall situation for bermuda, the path has it going out to sea, meaning it will not be affecting the united states. looking at our weekend forecast, our saturday in philadelphia at 68, sunday at 73. both days partly cloudy. both days no rain. meaning this is a great weekend to make plans outdoors especially with the fall events going on. mid-60s for the lehigh valley, the same for

typically about a 12-minute trip. 95 to schuylkill expressway. an accident on the northbound side of girard avenue has moved away. smyrna, watching for that accident, an overturned truck carrying
