So 60 in at Atlantic City i. Sixtyone in wildwood. Weve got some cloud around this morning. Nearby precipitation, starting to inch into maryland right there. We will keep an eye on it, nothing much showing up in our area, except for cloud cover, and if it werent for cloud cover we would be even chillier this morning, but the clouds, prevent sod radiational cooling. We are off to a cool start, like i said, in the city in the 60s. In the 50s in the burbs. 69 degrees by lunchtime. Not a big warm up. It is not 86 degrees. We will be about 73 degrees for our High Temperature today. Near the noteworthy, number of 7 00 oclock is our sunset time tonight. So starting tomorrow, sunset, even earlier. So, yes, it is getting dark earlier. We are getting ready for fall. Still summertime bob kelly. I like that, that is good. Darn it. Whatever you have in your coffee ill have a double. What do we have here, 5 02. Good morning. Live look at the schuykill expressway, a fenderbender eastbound right before center city off to the shoulder, not really attracting any attention. Boulevard looking good from the guys from the northeast, all the way down to the schuykill expressway, no problems this morning. Were curb side here in south jersey on the 42 freeway. Were getting ready for of course this will be a crazy week. Ben franklin parkway already closed in both directions and every day, hour by hour, things will start to get a little tighter a and more restrict. Right the now for this morning Martin Luther king drive if you come into center city you will be forced right back on to 676 the vine street expressway. If you use the kelly drive this morning you are push off at fairmount. No access to the Art Museum Circle or ben franklin parkway. Some other papal preps, we have got parking restrictions, going in into effect around the Art Museum Area later this morning other areas of the city will go into that tow zone, read the signs, before you park your car, especially in the areas where we will have the pope, here for the weekend. Jumbo trons are going up, fences and barriers are going up, i will use steve keeleys pictures here. Heres an example of the parkway, jumbo trons and speakers getting ready to be lifted up in the air and also some heavy, steel fencing, around the basilica here, in center city. So some walking, biking and driving restrictions already in play here in center city, chris, back over to you. We just heard about the restrictions, during the the popes visit n you plan is taking effect. Steve keeley is on this for us, steve, good morning. Reporter im standing on the other side of those steel barricade, those special security barricades. About 10 feet high, and the not the cyclone fence stuff that we normally see at concertses but super thick and hard to see through steel barricade. These are up on side streets, and center city streets. You have these on one side and then crowd control steel barricades just near there. All of where you look in center side i, the city has been transformed. We have barricade there will be no jaywalk to go day. Then look in the distance in the dark you can see white tops on the lines of portable johns up throughout many streets here and hopefully they will not be used, until the pope visit, because you dont want them sitting around for a week in this late summer heat, that is for sure. So, we have got stacks of barricade for sure as well. Were on 15th street on cherry looking toward center city and city hall right there and a lot of the city has been transformed. If you left work friday you will notice a vast difference on monday. If were able to, go back to that picture that bob kelly showed of that jumbo tron out. There is 40 jumbo trons throughout the city and one thing i spotted on that one it blocked the sidewalk completely right on a corner at the parkway there. The road is still opened. The city is still opened for business. Still a lot of traffic. When all these barricades up. The these barricade have cut down to zero visibility. Same with that jumbo tron. You can sea around it. You will have people walking in the street because they cannot walk on the sidewalk if it is block by a big jumbo tron or steel barricades and then you have cars not seeing people in the street if they are taking these corners awfully fast. It will be a danger zone in the city. If you are walking, biking, driving be extra safe. Now lets get to the other issue. We saw a Parking Authority tow truck long before 9 00 slowing down because they will safely go out in the street here around barricades. You can see some folks are parked here on 15th street and Parking Authority guy had his yellow lights flashing and i think, because those people probably wisely got plaquards they were not towed and allowed to stay there or they would have been towed out of there. Tow trucks are up early before the bird even here, and last night brad sattin was out talking to people watching their cars get towed away. All right. We will hear from brad sattins interviews when we see you next, steve. A mess either way. For a preview is what happening we can turn our attention to cuba, right.

In a weekend interview republican president ial candidate doctor ben carson was asked if a muslim should be able to serve as president . If it is inconsistent, with the values and principals of america, then, of course, it should matter but if it fits within the realm of america and consistent with the constitution, i have no problem. So do you believe islam is consistent with the constitution. No, i do not. I would not advocate that we put a muslim, in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that. There is some backlash over this. The council on American Islamic relations fired back, that the statement proves that ben carson is not qualified to be president , quote you cannot hold these kind of views at the same time say you will represent all americans of all faiths, and backgrounds. The democratic rival Bernie Sanders was quick to react in the series of tweets, saying im very disappoint that had doctor carson would suggest that a muslim should not become president of the united states.
