Crazy storms, and ill tell you what, still really humid out there right now. It is, and maybe few more storms, on the way, sue serio . Could be a few today, but, probably not as widespread destruction, like we had last night, with those thunderstorms, a loft branches down, where i live, in the suburbs, and probably where you liver, as well. So, lets see where we are with the temperatures. Because you would think with all of the storms that things would cool off little bit. But no, 73 degrees in philadelphia, right now, it is still pretty muggy, 67 in pottstown, 65 degrees in mount pocono, it is 70 in trenton, 72 in dover. Soap, still on the muggy side out there.

In norwood, thats delaware county, i believe, 60mile per hour winds there, at philadelphia international, 59mile per hour wind gust, allentown, 56. You get the idea. Those thunderstorms were pretty strong. Well, we still have little bit of rain moving through the area. There are some pockets of showers, as we zoom in little bit closer, that now entered southern new jersey. And it looks like atlantic county, cape may county, Cumberland County, getting some rain, light to moderate rain it, doesnt look like anything heavy, and we dont see any lightning showing up on ultimate doppler, as well, so down the shore this morning, it is raining, but we should clear things out for you by the afternoonment look at all of the storm reports. Every little blue circle you see on the map there is a report of high wind gusts, and lots of damage, because of it. 73 degrees as we said in philadelphia, and look at relative humidity, 84 , common. Another hot and humid day. This one will see if we make it to 90 degrees. We probably will. That will give us official heatwave. Whether we do or dont it is still going to be warm, humid today, pop up thunderstormment again probably not the widespread damage that we had last night. Tonight down to 71 degrees, and a slight chance of a storm. So, as we clean up from yesterday, kacie, how are the roads . We have a lot of stuff to look out for, thank you very much, sue. If you are headed out, abington township, old york road, do you have accident there, vehicle into a pole. Right at guarantee avenue. Look out for that one. Look out for malfunctioning traffic light, and this is not the only one, but Fairmount Park at sedgley, headed out mass transit, suspended, Chestnut Hill west great alternate this morning. Very good. Check it out. View from philadelphia. A time lapse video whatever the weather changes looked like through the night. We would like to update you on how the Power Outages stands at this moment, as well. Crews across the region continuing to respond to Power Outages following the storm many peco reporting about 95,000 outages, down from 250,000 at the height of the storm. Chester county suffering the worse with about 40,000 people still without power. And another 16,000 pse g customers new jersey, remain without power, Burlington County with the most, at about 6,000. And then in delaware, delmarva is reporting about 1700 outages in new castle county. Of course crews are out this morning cleaning up following yesterdays thunderstorm, were head out live to fox 29s steve keel any evesham, new jersey, had to drive through there this morning, than were a lot of branches down in the middle of the road. How is it looking now . Reporter well, the morning detours are going to make your morning commute into work probably a lot longer and a lot more questionable. Weve only been here about 15 minutes, and weve got three drivers asking us how did they get to route 73. Were on greentree road between route 73 and route 70, thats where one of the many trees have fallen onto one of the power lines seen, and the police here have it blocked off, from our vantage point, even though completely pitch black out here still it, doesnt appear that a very busy pse g team has gotten to this location yet. Because theyre busy at all of the other spots trying to get power restored. Thats why this is still shut off. This is a pretty busy street, normally, even this time of day. Because p. M. Are going up to route 70, right where the Dunkin Donuts and pj wheelihans is. We took route 70 here, and it was completely black between say past ponzios and the Barkley Farms development on both sides of the street. And then while we were stop, there the Fire Department had the roadblocked off there, because power lines were also down there, right at the Covered Bridge road intersection, and they were on fire, and the Fire Department spoke to them when we talked to the guy behind the wheel after truck said he thought that it had burned itself out. We saw smoke when we drove by there. So, trouble all around here, than is one of the locations that was camden county, not far away from here, and here is the other problem. When you leave early in the day, sometimes you are the first person that passes things, and look at the road hazards that we can show you right here. Big branches in the road. Pieces of branches, because some people have driven over them, so youre going have bumpy ride in, maybe damaging ride in if you dont take it easy. So watch out. You can tell, right here in the crosswalk, you have big log, as well. So if youre out here in the dark, before it gets light out over the next few minutes, take it easy because youll come across stuff that maybe the first time anybodys come into cross on your way into work, you dont want to run into a branch at 40 Miles Per Hour because nobodys been up yet to move it out of the road or have gotten around it themselves or not enough yellow cones and flares by Police Departments to really block everything thats still in the street. So, still a loft cleaning up to do, and you dont want to run into a mess that hasnt been cleaned up yet on your way in. So, well have some daylight out, maybe answers little later, and this is stuff that were getting used to. We have a lot of the damaging storms, especially in the last couple of years, we should all be veterans of this stuff by now, and hopefully we, are and will learn our lessons and not do like 60 Miles Per Hour into big branch somewhere. Dawn, kerrey, see you little later if evesham, hopefully with better news. But the folks in cherry hill, route 70, very busy commute on the way n good news, look like the traffic lights were all getting back on, even if the business lights werent. And jared, one of the drivers that we met over here, said the big wawa was out, and he through the will really detour peoples lives who all stop there to get coffee or gasoline on the way into work. But probably another one a mile away, so dont worry about it. Thats the good news, steve, thanks, see now bit.

Officials releasing time line after angry residents claim that firefighters did not get there fast enough. Fox 29s sabina live in southwest philadelphia with the very latest on it story, sabina . Reporter dawn, that time line is so detailed it takes us minute by minute through a what dispatch and firefighters were doing as they responded to this deadly fire. City Officials Say that by releasing the record, they hoped to yell some of the fury they say thats been fueled by misinformation over the emergency response. I talk about this yesterday.

Four houses. Four houses on fire. Then at 2 49, ladder four was on scene preparing for rescues, 2 50, pipeline 40 equipped with water on scene after leaving a car fire several blocks away. A third call there is time, from a firefighter comes in. Upgrade. Kim of houses looks like. In fact, eight houses soon destroyed, three, four year olds, infant, tragically kill. Rumors of the slow Response Time fueled anger in the community. Officials say firefighters saw protocol. More heart broken than anyone else. For the lives they couldnt save. They acted appropriately. They acted heroically. They just couldnt save. But to criticize this department is not fair. It is not the fact. And thats what were putting in front of you. And, right now, youre looking at video of the protests that happened throughout this past week. Three people were arrested, as community was outraged over what they thought was a slow Response Time. As you heard there from officials, it happened in about three minutes. Now, back here live, you can see, tensions here still remain pretty hi, a Police Officer actually stationed outside of this firehouse, as is a result of course of those protests that happened over the past week. But again, guys, city officials hoping that by row leasing releasing the tim line they can calm things down a bit. Thank you so much. Victims are part of close night liberian community.

Thats when bartender Jenny Williams says he strikes, lunging over the counter and taking what she says is her iphone. He then strolls out the tron door before ripping his hat off and running down the street. I just want to get that guys face out there, just warn others, and maybe someone recognizes him, and it scares him enough to maybe stop doing what he is doing. Williams said she has filed a Police Report and central detectives is investigating. All right, it is 5 11 right now, time for weather on the ones.

But i dont think it will last all day, youre going have decent beach day at some point, also, parts of Cumberland County here, along the Atlantic City expressway seeing some rain this morning, as well. So, it is not a bad idea, maybe, to grab the umbrella, have it nearby for this morning only. Well, then we got those pop up thunderstorms that are possible later on in the day. 90 degrees today, 88 tomorrow, and then 87 degrees on friday, and still looking at fridays being the best weather day of the week. Because of the low humidity. By saturday, were to up billion seven. 88 degrees on sunday, monday and tuesday we have chances of showers and thunderstorms, now, sunday, we brought the chance of a thunderstorm back, but i dont think it will happen until later in the day.
