overnight showers. in some neighborhoods a thunderstorm. there you see that stuff coming through last night. it looks like most of this is passing us off to the north and east now. we'll see clouds mixing with some sunny breaks, more sun the farther south you go and then eventually that next line of showers and thunderstorms arrives. that's later this afternoon. 59 degrees currently in philadelphia. 56 in trenton. 57 degrees in wilmington. 54 in allentown and still in the low 60's in cape may and down in millville. on the bus stop this morning mainly try. mostly cloudy skies with some sunny breaks certainly possible. and 60 degrees by 6 o'clock. 64 degrees by 8:00. so, temperatures cool issuish buish butnot that bad. winds light. aas we go through the day 65 degrees by 8 o'clock and 74 by 11 o'clock. as we pull into the early part of the afternoon most areas still okay. 81 degrees by 2 o'clock. after about o 2 o'clock in the northern suburbs like the lehigh valley and reading you'll start to see development of showers and maybe a thunderstorm and that stuff rolls down toward philadelphia closer to 4, 5, 6 o'clock right in there so this would be the iffy part of the day near i-95 to vote and then by 8 o'clock 75. it looks like most of that stuff is down by the shore and you're probably okay as we take a look all right pollen count again it's still running a little bit high, probably drops off over the next couple of days. karen rogers what are roads looking like early on. >> well, a little bit wet in spots dealing with those thunderstorms that woke me up overnight. we're looking live in delaware county. this is i-95 northbound at the blue route as you head towards the airport. still construction crews blocking the right lane, blocking the off ramp but expected to rap up any minute now so they're out there currently but shouldn't be outer there too much longer. more on this accident here. there's debris on the roadway. we're seeing restrictions in

flames destroy a large home in delaware county leaving just portions of the structure still standing and illuminating the dark sky. it broke out at the home on dogwood hill lane in chadds ford at 2:00 a.m. flames fully engulfed the large house. nozzle nut photography provided us with some of these intents images and video from the fire fight. crews were calling a second alarm to get tanker trucks to the scene for more water. i know we're taking a live look at the action cam. they also reported a gas line fire at the scene. now, again, this is the action cam live showing that the flames are still emerging from. home and from this structure right now. there is really not much left of it. utility crews were called to the scene to shut off gas lines on the property just in case these flames erupt again through gas leaks. but so far no reports of any injuries. >> and today is a pivotal day in this unpredictable election season. >> voters in five states including pennsylvania and delaware

katherineism good morning, tam and matt. the polls open in pennsylvania and delaware at 7:00 a.m. and the candidates are urging their supporters to get out and vote. it has been a tense season all

1237 delegates. >> i've been doing this for 10 months and these two guys they're politicians all their lives, that's all they done now they join forces. >> i don't see this as any big deal other than the fact that i'm not going to spend resources in indiana he's not going to spend them in other places. so what? what's the big deal? >> reporter: so whether you're heading to the polls in mifflin or elsewhere in pennsylvania the republican candidates are making sure their supporters know which delegates to vote for. pennsylvania's delegate allocation process is unusual. pennsylvania adds 71 delegates to the convention in cleveland. 17 are bound to the candidate who wins the primary on the first ballot but 54 of them are free agents which means they are not bound to the candidate who wins the state's popular vote so a lot of people are watching pennsylvania on the republican side in particular. the polls close at 8 o'clock tonight. we're live in east falls, katherine scott, channel6

you heard some thunder last night but that's all away from us. as we take a look outside we have the airport and the airport looking dry at this point. some of your road surfaces might still be a little bit damp from that overnight passing shower. as we take a look at temperatures right now, 54 degrees in allentown, 59 in reading, 55 in lancaster. a little bit on the cool side in some spots but these numbers generally aren't too bad. still holding close to 50 in philadelphia or 60 i should say. 57 degrees in wilmington, 63 in millville, 65 mild degrees in dover, delaware. so, here's what happens today with the rain. first of all, the morning stuff is mainly up in the poconos and then pushing toward the east and we'll probably see some sunshine mixing with clouds as we go through the morning. as we head later into the afternoon, 2, 3 o'clock you'll start to see some new showers develop in the northern and western suburbs, maybe another rumble of thunder there. better chance of that is after 3:00 as we push down to maybe 5 o'clock the latest model run pushing most of this stuff by the shore by then but i think the i-95 corridor by 5 o'clock has a shot of seeing at least some spotty showers and thunderstorms and where those thunderstorms hit they could be gusty. by 7 o'clock south jersey still seeing some of this and by 9 o'clock it looks like it's mostly off the coast. again the key time for seeing thunderstorms today would be about 2 o'clock in the northern suburbs to about 7 o'clock down the shore. these are going to be scattered but where they hit they could feature gusty winds and maybe small hail. there's a big cooldown coming tonight and through the next couple days following this rain. today's high in the lehigh valley though is pretty good, 76 degrees, mostly cloudy. and earl to midafternoon shower or thunderstorm possible. down the shore it looks like most of your rain holds off until later in the evening, 75 is the high. and then 83 degrees, mostly cloudy to dain philadelphia with some sunny breaks, afternoon thunderstorms are possible, and quickly i want to show that you voter's forecast in pennsylvania. it looks like the morning and midday hours are fine. it will get real warm in the early afternoon and again the best chance of showers and storms probably between the hours of about 4:00 and maybe 6 o'clock near the i-95 core do. a little earlier than that up in the northern and western suburbs. 83 is today's high. it's going to be a warm afternoon. we'll have some sun at times. there's the chance of a shower or thunderstorm later in the afternoon and evening. then tomorrow partly sunny but cooler, a high of just 66 degrees and only 59 on thursday and that's a damp day with occasional rain. perhaps a lingering shower on friday, 63. weekend looking pretty good, though. sunshine on saturday, 68 degrees, great for union fans and phillies fans. and then the broad street run on sunday as well as that phillies game. decent weather for that. 68 degrees, sun giving way to probably some more clouds and the next round of rain arrives sunday night and hangs around until monday, probably tuesday. >> thanks, david. a fire bug on the loose in texas. cameras capture the would be arsonist trying to set a louse on fire while the family is still inside. >> a tennessee man is upset that some of his

damp isn't some spots right now, karen? >> yeah, we had some thunderstorms move through some of the area, kind of briefly, but the roads are a little bit wet so just be careful as you're headed out. the one issue we have is some late running construction. let's look live right here. this is delaware county, i-95 at the blue route and we can see this northbound construction as you head towards the airport. you see how slowly everyone is going. if you're driving to the airport at this hour you don't expect a delay but it's a little slower because this construction was supposed to wrap at 5:00 a.m. they're blocking the off ramp to the blue route and they're blocking the right lane so that's what's causing the problems on i-95 northbound. i see the crews up here. unclear if they're maybe starting to back up and pick up some of the cones. construction running late and that's causing a slow go on i-95. pennsylvania turnpike eastbound is opened between willow grove and bensalem. we've been talking about that horrible fatal accident involving a tractor-trailer. happened yesterday afternoon but had closed the turnpike for awhile but everything is opened if you need it for your

in that area. we're dry currently through the area. those storms that had rumbled through in the overnight hours, they're off the coastline at this point and it's mild in its wake. 59 degrees in philadelphia. 54 even in allentown, 63 in millville, new jersey today. we're going to see sunshine and some clouds and chance for some gusty storms later but you can see temperatures 10 to 20 degrees warmer than they were yesterday morning. tam. >> okay, thank you karen. new here on "action news" police in texas are searching for a fire bug caught attempting to set a car and a louse on fire while
