in the day, we have a few pops of sun this afternoon, after some really heavy rain last night, a couple of sprinkles in parts of newcastle and chester county and berks county, the temperatures are dry and the humidity is dropping to the north and west and it is 71 in allentown un69 in lancaster and 77 in philadelphia and still near 80 and muggy down in the south between millville and cape may as well as the atlantic city airport. a stalled front is to the south and east. it means the front is not moving, it will slowly over the next 48 hours lift back to the north and west as winds start to sweep in off the atlantic throwing more moisture our way, at 6:00 tomorrow evening, very light rain, wilmington and philadelphia and trenton off the coast, fairly dry and late in the day, and showers increase, it's thursday night into friday morning, it turns heavier and steadier, down to the south, and allentown on friday morning and friday afternoon into friday evening, when we start to see the rain intensify, and at the same time we'll have strong winds coming in from the northeasterly direction and by saturday morning, the rain lifts with the front to the north and west and we'll try to dry is out saturday morning, with light showers around and it stays breezy and cool. >> unlike last night, the heaviest rain, in the next go around, over the sandy soils of southern new jersey and delaware between 2 and 3 inches of rain and maybe 2 in philadelphia, north and west, with the flip that is good news, you won't get the heaviest rain over the same locations that saw is last night. hurricane joaquin, winds sustained at 75 miles per hour moving to the southwest, this is the other big story, it continues southwesterly and then as it gets into thursday, it starts to make its curve, where you see the red with the border of the white, that is the cone and uncertainty, anywhere within that red area, winds sustained at 105 miles per hour and it could be a major hurricane over the open waters, as you can see that swath includes our area but goes from the carolinas all the way to cape cod, it could come anywhere in this region sunday morning into monday, we'll have to watch that closely. be aware and be prepared at this point, i would not panic but keep did in the back of your mind, we have a highly uncertain track and the biggest concern right now for us, even in joaquin makes landfall in the carolinas, it will be flooding rains the second half of the weekend, your four day at 4:00, breezy and cool and a high of just 60 degrees, windy with heavy rain on friday, just 55 degrees for your high temperatures, it's a raw rain and then windy with a few showers around saturday at 64 and watching joaquin as the heavy rain comes back in on sunday with the temperature of 68

picture of hurricane joaquin. lets get to adam joseph tracking the systems for us. >> no matter if joaquin has a direct impact or indirect, we'll have impacts in the form of gusty winds and rainfall in the upcoming weekend, double scan live radar shows hurricane joaquin, with winds sustained at 85 miles per hour, we can see thunderstorms blossoming and that means that joaquin may strengthen and push to the south and west in the southern end of the chain of the bahama islands, but will start to curve its way back to the north, the first round is in northern new england with a stalled front off the coast and that front inches its way back inland as we get into thursday and friday, so friday into saturday, the wins you'll really notice picking up as we have the boundary coming in and we'll be squeezed between low pressure to the south and high pressure to the north, really kind of at all intertwined with joaquin so to speak. winds 15 to 20 miles per hour, gusts of 35, and along the coast the dreadly northeasterly wind with gusts up to 45 with beach erosion and flooding, a coastal flood watch goes into effect in the evening and moderate to major flooding at the shore and it's all prior to any effects with joaquin and that is separate from the hurricane, and then from thursday right through monday or so of next week, a six day period, we could see around 5 irnlgs of rain in philadelphia, but go to the south where they could see anywhere from a half a foot and up to 9 inches of rain but still a healthy amount of rain to watch for coastal flooding or some fresh water inland flooding. when i come back, we'll chat more about the possible path with joaquin and the timing coming up in the seven day. be sure to like the 6 abc "action news" facebook page as the storm

get money out of the account. >> stanley is one of the members that had her debit card pro placed. yesterday she went to get money from a gas station atm and she was declined and she went home and logged into her account and saw unauthorized purchased from wal-mart all over in texas. >> i was like i didn't do any of this, it wiped out the whole account. >> the credit union issued a statement

she said it started last week and i was like, last week? when was something going to say something. >> that employee told her that so many members were impacted they couldn't call anyone, this time when she went home she called "action news,". >> i am going to call the news because if she knew this last week maybe some of this could have been avoided. >> stanley also doesn't have her money restored to her account, she is told that the unauthorized charges are being reviewed by the fraud department, it's unclear how this happened here, the credit union says they are working closely with the fbi on the matter. live in east mt. airy, i'm sara bloomquist, channel 6 "action news." >> lets hope investigators get to the bottom of it. police in chester say they have captured two drug

and smooth finish. for a limited time, get any medium hot or iced dark roast coffee for 99 cents. we are keeping an eye on hurricane joaquin. >> we have a lot to go here over the next seven days, we'll try to pin it down day by today because it can be confusing. we have a lot of clouds and pops of sun and we are dealing with light sprinkles in the philadelphia area, delaware county and newcastle county and parts of montgomery county. highs are 81 be muggy in philadelphia today and same for wilmington 80 in millville and 82 in wildwood and cooler to the north but they are quickly dropping with the northerly win starting to dry us out with respect to the tropical feeling and september is the last day of the month and we come in second for being the warmest september in philadelphia, temperatures running 5.5 degrees above normal for the month. as we look at the front it's to the south and east and it is stalled, however it starts to move back to the north and west as we get into late thursday, friday and the upcoming weekend as the front drifts up to the north and west, it throws moisture our way and light showers start to break out, but nothing too heavy during the day tomorrow, it's thursday night into friday morning we intensify the rain and win as well out of the northeast to the south here and that area lifts to the north through the entire delaware valley on the verge of the lehigh valley by the evening rush on friday, a combination of the strong winds from the northeast as well causes beach erosion and coastal flooding and this has nothing to do with joaquin and that move as way early on saturday morning and saturday we may catch a break with steadier rain and light showers but it stays on the windy side. here is what is going on and we have two areas of blocking high pressure, one in eastern canada and another blocking high of the open waters of atlantic, that high is acting like a shield, it's not allowing joaquin to go out to sea, typically hurricanes move in that fashion, because in the lower u.s. the steering winds are from west to east and an upper level low near atlanta, that low looks to be far to the south and that low will syphon in hurricane joaquin and that is why it could aim towards the carolinas, and that depends on the upper level low, the more south it is from us to about thor it is from us, wins sustained at 85 miles per hour moving to the southwest and makes a curve in to us by saturday and could be a major hurricane over the open waters with winds sustained of 115 miles per hour and not focusing on the direct track, it can move anywhere within this cone somewhere late into sunday and monday into the carolinas up through long island, but the focus could be the carolinas as its looking right now. here is the message, be aware and be prepared. it's a highly uncertain track, it's still many days away, the keep time is sunday into monand the biggest concern is the flooding coastal and inland. the exclusive accuweather forecast, breezy and cool and 60 tomorrow and heavy rain and gusty on friday and coastal flooding and 55 degrees, same thing saturday, could be coastal flooding even though the rain tapers off. we could get another round of tropical rains, 68 to 70 as we watch joaquin and it drys out into the middle of next week, we watch the path it keeps on changing, but the tendency is to shift it south. but we still get heavy rain here. >> quick break, if you got a new ixts phone sick around, how to get the most out of your old gadget. ♪ take the long way, huh? ♪ thank you cyrus.
