In willow grove get something rain, norristown on the schuylkill expressway near conshohocken, its wet. Looking at route 30, route three, you can see that right now near media, route 13 as well. As we look in new jersey, kind of wet there as well. Were seeing that through parts of burlington and ocean county and chatsworth and also in the more Populated Areas near medford along route 70 coming into the city as well as glassboro near Rowan University on three he 22 and route 40 near malaga so some wet roads out there for sure. Lets go on outside. We want to see what it looks like right now and sky6 using our Temple University camera and were looking at lots of clouds through the region. Were seeing a couple breaks here and there with the clouds but its a day with lots of clouds and certainly feeling at the very least damp. 76 degrees the current temperature so its warm out there. Its so muggy. The dewpoint is in the 70s. So, as soon as you step outside you feel like youre walking out in the tropics and certainly the atmosphere almost saturated here. The winds out of the southsouthwest, thats the culprit pulling up that warm and humid, that tropical feel that we have. Satellite6 and action radar showing the heavy rain, on its way out of here. Clouds, a couple showers here or there. As we look to the south we see a few more showers that will pull into the region but future tracker6 showing its not going to amount to a whole lot. This is a look at 8 30 in the morning. Some showers here or there, mostly just clouds, maybe a couple breaks in the clouds. By 2 00 p. M. , mostly dry, a shower here or there. And later tonight, if you have some sports activities you want to watch for a shower. This model showing it mostly in south jersey but i think it could be anywhere. Its not terribly wet today.

M. , maybe 77 at 11 00 a. M. And holding in the mid to upper 70s. 76 by 2 00 p. M. By 5 00 p. M. , 75, mostly cloudy skies through the day today and a shower. But of course all eyes right now on Tropical Storm joaquin at 70 miles an hour could become a hurricane, is expected to today and we already have Hurricane Hunters right now flying through joaquin to investigate. And heres what we can expect. Going over the center of the low going over the bahamas today but more importantly for us lets watch where its headed right towards our direction. We can see he a hurricane stat one, category one, monday at 2 00 a. M. And what were looking at, though, is the cone of uncertainty. Could be anywhere within here at that point but certainly the models projecting it so close to us and well have to watch to see if it makes any turns at that point. I want to show you the spaghetti plot models. Thats a good idea to see where the models are leaning. We have some moving in different directions. You can see some even turning it out at this point and yeah, while the consensus is this general area i think this gives you an idea of some of the uncertain too. It has narrowed a little bit since last night when you were watching, that cone, but something were watching. Heres a look at your exclusive accuweather 7day. Today clouds, few showers here or there.

Theyre still cleaning up from our big weekend. As a result we expect some big delays this morning just like we saw yesterday morning. Around the ben franklin parkway, already were seeing some extra people taking to the westbound side of the vine street expressway headed toward the schuylkill. Again, its people avoiding those inner drives of the ben franklin parkway which remain shut down. This is the roosevelt boulevard extension southbound come the headlights starting to tap the brakes passing ridge avenue on down towards the schuylkill expressway. Thats because of delays on the schuylkill itself. Looking live at 422, we had a rough start to the morning yesterday in those eastbound lanes. This morning, its just some volume from approaching oaks through this point approaching trooper on into route 23. Still have a crash on the westbound pennsylvania turnpike approaching the downingtown interchange. Taking out the left lane so now speeds are just in the low 30s passing that accident scene. If you want to use 202, 30 and one to get around it theyre clear although wet at this point. In norristown still have that downed tree partially blocking elm street at swede street. Downed pole in cherry hill continues to close the ramp from 70 eastbound to route 41. Might want to use the ramp to grove street as an alternate. Matt. Thank you, matt.

Action News Reporter eva pilgrim is live on the scene on sellers street in the frankford section. Eva. Reporter matt, talk about a frightening way to wake up. A frankford man was asleep in his bed when two robbers woke him up with two guns in his face. Now, police say the two guys in masks broke into this house on the 1300 block of sellers street through a side alley. Investigators tell us the robbers went as far as to unscrew the Motion Sensor Light before breaking the glass on a door and getting in. Once inside, a 51yearold man telling police he was asleep when the two woke him up, tide his hands behind his back with electrical cords and gagged him with a button down shirt. Also home at the time his 52yearold wife and 10yearold grandson. The wife and the 10yearold grandson were in another bedroom and they were hiding under the bed. They dont know whether or not the perpetrators knew they were in the house. But the perpetrators never touched the grandmother or the 10yearold son. Reporter now, the robbers took about 200, a big screen tv, a play station before ransacking the home and leaving. Police tell us that there are actually a lot of cameras here. Those cameras in that alleyway and cameras up and down the street. They are looking at that Surveillance Video at this time. If you have any information the about what happened here overnight, youre asked to call philadelphia police. In the frankford section, eva pilgrim channel6 action news. A 47yearold death row inmate became the first woman in georgia to be executed in 70 years. Ordered execution of Kelly Renee Gissendaner was carried out in accordance with state law. Kelly gissendaner was put to death despite a plea from the womans three children and pope francis. She was convicted in the 1997 murder of her husband which she convinced her lover to carry out.

Hotels, however, saw a boost over the weekend. Thats thanks to the greater Philadelphia Hotel associations reaction to low projections early on and a change in its marketing strategy. Turning now to accuweather. We had some heavy rain move through but now we have more coming in, right. Yeah, weve got showers moving through. Now, today is not your big wet day but its wet nonetheless. Lets take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan and you can see overall not a lot of heavy rain but with double scan we can show you who is getting the rain. Here in frankford you not only see the area of green but were seeing some yellow, some of the heavier rainier wynnefield as well, moving just west of philadelphia and upper darby you have some of that rain, out in bryn mawr. We can go closer to some of the areas right here and just show you who is getting it. I want to go out wider to give you one more overall look and pull into parts of south jersey because theyre seeing it as well. So, were seeing that through medford, and thats a pretty busy area right near marlton as youre driving in to the city right now. In berlin, white horse pike, berlin cross keys road, route 55, thats a busy road so youre dealing with the rain right there as well as near gibbstown and chester, you want to look for that, some rain moving through the region currently through the area. Lets go on outside. I want to show you what it looks like right now. Weve got lots of clouds. Its rather wet and the trouble is we had all that rain from last night so in some areas youre driving through a lot of ponding and we havent done that in a long time. Its been awhile. We havent got 10 a lot of rain so far. 76 degrees currently in philadelphia. Its so warm out there and horribly muggy. The dewpoint is 73. The air is just nearly saturated. Winds out of the southsouthwest, thats the culprit pulling in kind of that tropical moist air mass. Satellite6 and action radar showing that heavy rain. See how quickly it kind of spins on out of here from last night into the overnight hours. And now in its wake, yeah, weve got some showers here or there. As we look to the south because its pulling up out of the southwest you can kind of see how theres some more showers that will move through the region. Its not going to rain all day. Were going deal with lots of clouds, some rain at times. This is at 8 30 in the morning, future tracker showing some showers here or there and then we advance this through the day. Not a whole lot a shower, a quick period of rain here or there. This is a look at 2 30. Its showing some showers, even a little bit heavier right there near the coast and then at 9 oclock tonight, still more of the same. Lots of clouds, couple of showers so he some real rain days coming. Today is not your big rain day but feeling certainly damp out there. 78 for your high. So, were already in the 70s. 76 and temps just dont go very far because we have lots of clouds and some rain at times. So, at 8 00 a. M. , 76, by 11 00 a. M. , 77. Well hit our high early, maybe about noon and then by 2 00 p. M. , 76. By 5 00 p. M. , 75. A shower or a quick period of rain at any point. All eyes, though, really on Tropical Storm joaquin because we expect it to become a hurricane today. In fact, right now Hurricane Hunters are heading through joaquin to investigate it. 70 miles an hour winds so just a few miles an hour winds off of becoming a hurricane status. The center of it going right over the bahamas this morning but watch more pornly where its headed and the timing is really changed from this morning. So, this is an update. The late of the updates showing at 2 oclock in the morning on monday, expecting a cat one hurricane right at our doorstep so thats kind of slowed the storm down a little bit. So, it looks like we might feel the most effects perhaps sunday into monday. Something that were watching closely. And of course thats the cone of uncertainty and as you look at the spaghetti plot models you can kind of see that not everybody in agreement. I mean, some are taking it more to the west, some are taking it more to the south and east so we just really have to keep watching to see exactly what happens but certainly were going to get big impacts from this either way. Heres your exclusive accuweather 7day. Clouds, showers at times. You should be okay for the union, not entirely dry but it wont be horribly wet, either. 78. Thursday much cooler, windy and 60. Friday windy and rainy, 57. Thats not joaquin. Thats a front thats stalled. Thursday into friday some heavy rain. Saturday clouds, some rain, kind of depends on the timing of joaquin, 66.
