You know what i want to bring upright the now . We have a nine out of the ten on the weather scale. Yeah, right, nice one again today with a little cooler temperatures, but still above average a. We are off to a cloudy start, but we have seen some sunshine as well, temperatures in the 40s and 50s bus stop buddy is still smiling, still rooting for his team even though they both lost phillies and flyers. Rain up around new york. We are not expecting that to make its way here but we have more cloud then yesterday, 56 degrees at the moment, and yesterday we got to 82, today 75. Still nice, but just more windy and cloudier and very dry. That is your Weather Authority forecast, bob kelly, where is the problem now. Good morning everybody. 7 03 on a tuesday morning. The heres a live look at i95, northbound right here near street road off accident off to the Left Shoulder there.

Blue route northbound looking good at the moment. Only a 20 minute trip. Turnpike starting to see delays, half an hour before valley forge and route one. Pothole crews coming our way, today they are working on 322, and, between blue route and the state line, and then delays coming in from new jersey north on the 42 freeway from the black horse pike, heading in towards the work zone in bellmawr, mike and alex, back over to you. Emotional tribute to ed snider started festivities last night at 7 00 oclock in south philadelphia at Wells Fargo Center. Game three turned into an embarrassment for the team and their fans. Yeah, they passed out, well, first of all as steve keeley says people were screaming at the upper deck from the moment of silence. Could have been capitals fans. I could tell you this there were more mets fans at phillies game then phillies fans, because anytime mets did anything like david wright hitting a home run it sounded like were you watching the game in citi field rather than in south philadelphia. That is how it was when the mets were good and mets fans could not get tickets and they were bad they would come down turnpike and attend phillies game so they can see their team. It is possible. I can tell you this, this story is bigger nationally then it is locally. I push to do this in the morning meet i go and now we are leading witt. Espn by the way their head line is spirit of philadelphia, flyers penalized for fan behavior. It is bigot national front. Here at wip howard eskin just called into Angelo Cataldi and he called it disgraceful how the fans reacted last night eskin did and they just did a poll and they asked the callers are you embarrassed by the flyers fans behavior last night . 82 percent say yes, they are. Eskin said why isnt that 100 percent. Who are the other 18 percent not embarrassed by what happened. If you didnt know and just watching us, heres some video. So they scream, and yell, and al morganty said it was awful. Al was under the impression it was philadelphia people screaming out loud during moment of silence. Then you see thighs wrist band that were thrown out on the ice. Lou noland admonishes the fans, scolds them and say stop doing this you will get us penalized. Two and a half minutes later they throw them again on the ice and they get a delay of the game penalty. At that point the game was out of reach and it seems like so were the fans. They made that a announcement to the fans in the to throw anything on the ice. It is just an unfortunate situation at the end there. I just thought it was, you know, it wasnt good for the game, plane and simple. You know, we were on national television. I dont think it displays our game very well. It looks horrible because it was a night that you were supposed to be on your best behavior i guess but by the game just got so bad on the ice. It was not even competitive. Barry trotz the washington coach said it is not good for the game the way it ended. I dont think he was just talking about the stuff on the ice but none in competitive affair at the end and everybody just sort of lost it and they started throwing things. Reporter so going back to the famous, philly fans booing santa way back in the 60s, marc farseta another great member of the wip staff tweeted this last night from yelling during a moment of silence to throwing bracelets on the ice, move over sanity, we have hit a new low. Probably because it was nationally televised, it was a playoff game, got the attention that it got but im telling you you still cannot top the guy, little partly guy, in his 20s from cherry hill that purposely puked on a little girl and her dad who happened to be an offduty cop at a phillies game. That was the low for me. I remember that guy, yeah. Yeah. Pukeman. Thanks, steve. Chris, what else . We have a lot going on, on this tuesday. Authorities say 239 yearold man accused of shooting a Philadelphia Police officer sunday night has a lengthy criminal record. Authorities say that Scott Griffin is the one who shot officer james mccollough, Court Records show griffin was arrested just last month on gun charges. Sources say those charges were dismissed in Court Last Week when two witnesses failed to show up. Griffin was let out of the jail before charges could be reinstated by d. A. The very next day. City of trenton is remembering a beloved crossing guard killed on the job, monday afternoon. Antonio weilly was hit by a car, on a busy stretch of highway 129, the driver immediately stopped. The intersection is so congested crossing guards are there, two hours a day. He had been a guard there for at least eight years. Family and friend are still coming to terms with his death. I am totally shocked and just saddened that someone would run lights or go around the car and in the knowing is what on the other side. I just cant believe i will never see him again. He was a fixture there, no word from police if that driver will face any charges mike and alex. Horrible. So many people knew him. 7 09. Well, now developing in the citys kensington section a a with man discovered in the street bleeding, her throat slit. Walking down the street. Now shes in the hospital. Dave kinchen is on this story, dave. Reporter horrible situation and a continuation of all of the violence that we have seen the in the city as ovulate in the last few days. Were in the 2,000 block of stella street off the 2900 block of frankford avenue. Police say a woman was found bleeding profusely from the throat area. Police say victim cannot speak because of the 12inch slash around her throat. Investigators say she walk a short distance from frankford to stella where we are right the now and left a trail of blood standing 75 feet long, witnesses saw her and wrapped a towel around her throat. Shes in Critical Condition right now under going surgery. Police say there was no i. D on her. Police know shes a woman in her 30s. Police dont know who attack her or whether she was attacked in another area and then driven to frankford and where we are right here in kensington. There is in motive, police say. Police say there is no suspect and there was no knife found at the scene. There are several businesses, with cameras, police are hoping those cameras might have captured something that leads to a suspect in this case. Police do not the know whether this woman will survive, they say she simply lost a lot of blood, at the time. This all took place around 3c this morning. A very vicious attack. A lot of questions, police are combing through trying to see what they can find out but that is very latest from here in kensington. Back to you. I would say shocking but it is happening way too much. Absolutely brutal. Yeah. 7 11. Big primary day, especially in new york state. Doug luzader, tell us all about it. Good morning. Well, normally at this stage of the game we have got folks that are so far, so far established as front runners that it is not much of a contest this time around insuring will play a very big role, both Hillary Clinton and donald trump are hoping this will go a long way toward locking down their status as presumptive nominees but they still have away to go all in for new york. Hillary clinton hoping to findly chalk up a a win and break auburn sanders hot streak and donald trump hoping his deep connections as a life long new yorker will push him to a massive victory carrying all 95 republican delegates but it wasnt made easier when trump made a verbal gaff referring to the 9 11 attack. I wrote this out, and it is very close to my heart because i was down there and i watched our police and our firemen down at seven11th down at the World Trade Center after it calm down. 7eleven or 9 11 trump is still a head in a mile. He is up more than 30 points. Second place isnt even ted cruz who represents trumps Biggest National threat, but john kasich who has only carried one state so far. Clearly says about when asked bit during a stop at a new york deli. You only one won state. Im answering my question the way you want to aint. Do you want to aint. Let me ask you a question. What do you think. Im hoping to do really well tomorrow and hoping to wrap up the democratic nomination. Hillary clinton hoping three years as a new york senator will deliver the state today ending a a real dry spell with her rival Bernie Sanders winning eight of the last nine states. Still sanders has new york connections too and last night he made a cause for an upset the if his enthusiastic supporters actually show up. We will win, the turnout, is high, we lose when the turnout is low. Reporter after that he may win if his supporters, plan to ahead. New york is a close primary. Bernie sanders no doubt does attract a lot of independent voters but for new yorkers registered as independents, they had to change their Party Affiliation in democrat back in october in order to vote for sanders today. How many of them did that, that is a critical question and mike and alex, what we have learned is never interrupt john kasich, when he is eating soup, at a deli. No, no, leave him alone at that. Doug, let me just say this, you look fantastic today. Doesnt he look handsome. He does. Reporter it is beautiful out here, today. Im even with the background. It sound like you are right. We will see you tomorrow. Ill see you tomorrow. Lets do this. Yesterday we got to 28 degrees but why was it so wonderful . Low humidity, right. It will be another night like that at the ballpark with those cotton candy clouds when you catch them out at sunset. It will be sweater weather at Citizens Bank park. 66 degrees the at game time, which is 7 05. Lets try to beat the mets tonight. We could use some cheering up, red flag warning, low humidity as we just mentioned and plus higher winds means fire danger out there all day. We have got a few clouds around this morning. They made for a beautiful sunrise. It is because of the cold front which will make its way through this morning, but temperatures are still a little bit milder then they were yesterday at this time. 56 degrees mount pocono and philadelphia, and 51 wilmington, 54 degrees in dover with wind out of the 6 miles an hour at the moment. But they will pick up and we will have sunny, breezy conditions all day. 75 degrees. 70 degrees tomorrow and 73 on thursday, dry, dry, dry. Rain arrives, on friday a few showers, maybe even a thunderstorm or two, and then that will cool us off to the upper 60s for high temperatures, both days of the weekend, which in our book it is pretty nice weekend weather and hopefully the next round of rain will wait until monday, so that is a look at your seven day forecast, you can be outdoors, bob kelly but just take that allergy medication. Yes, definitely will have allergy medications as we get ready, good morning. 75 00. Live lot the schuylkill westbound take the convertible to work day, crack the window open up the sun roof. We are jammed from the boulevard out toward belmont. Sun will play some tricks on us this morning just like yesterday, sun splashed on the bennie, but no delays, just yet over the bend been into downtown. We do have an accident we have report of the pedestrian hit here up in Mercer County, new jersey, route 526 at edinberg road, we will keep an eye on that one. Then blue route today, watch out for paint work, paint crews coming, they have worked yesterday between the turnpike and i95, they will be out there again, painting the lines right after the rush hour, and give the crews a little break. You want to watch changing lanes. I know it is a quick drying paint but you can get white racing stripes down the side of your car if you are not real careful. Two separate accidents on the boulevard, one at robbins, the other at wissohickon and southbound i95 heavy from cottman avenue in through girard and we are looking good on mass transit, mike, back over to you. Bob kelly, i know you were at the game. Thousands joined new south philadelphia. It was supposed to be and this was nice an emotional tribute to ed snider. And then game three, maybe turning everything around for flyers. It turned into fistfights and a sixone loss. Players being pelted by these wrist bands that were passed out for the tribute. Moment of silence, interrupted by yelling at the end of the game. Sean is here. Brian is here. Where do you start. You know what i will do, i will put this head line up. Weaners and losers. That is what it turned into last night. It started with the moment of silence for ed snider. I dont know if you can have sound on a clip that is a moment of silence but lets try it. Ask you to join news a moment of silence. Thank you. We could not even get that right, people screaming. It all started off with this, and that was a guy that was speaking to himself, he had this planned because this happened, what pittsburgh a couple weeks ago during moment of silence, tribute to ed snider this was a flyers fan that wanted to plan this out. Just ter able cross the board last night. Ironic thing was he gave one in washington. It was completely silent. Complete silence. More than throwing your bracelets on the ice, more than anything else, the problem with this whole thing last night was it will be forever a attached to a tribute for the founder of the flyers. Many fans, throwing stuff on the ice. It happened in chicago, im not excusing it. Yeah, yeah. It is forever going to be tied to to a moment which should have been proud for this franchise. After all these years, all of the years ed put into the flyers, for that to happen. You will remember that. Espn picks it up, spirit of philadelphia, those things. Is that what they are saying. Yes. What happens is, this further perpetuates stereotype in philadelphia fans. Just for a handful of will folks. Another black eye. It is hard to defend. If you look at the history a couple weeks ago march 31st in florida the panthers they gave away 10,000 rats as their good luck charm down there and in the once they were penalized. So, you didnt hear anything about that. That is not on espn or anywhere. It happens all across america but we, we always get highlighted. It is hard to get away from santa and the batteries, it is hard to get away from the throw up experience. Every time something happens it feed in the stereotype. It is a few drunks, a few stupid people but we all look bad. I was kind of making fun of this. He gets hits in the chest. Man has been pummeled with fists an sticks all night and gets upset over a bracelet. He is no angel either. And we have players ducking. Lou noland, pa announcer. Way to go. Yeah. Really, you really did it now. Way to go. Heres one of the bracelets. It is hard. Yes. But especially coming from up top. What they should have done, because you could not see it once house lights were up. They should have said, lets do this again. Because when they came up with this idea to do something, somebody in that meeting said look there is a a chance these end up on the ice. Good thing it wasnt puff night. Heres what is pathetic i just got a rap from our producer, we didnt talk about the game. And what is wrong with that. They lost sixone. Any chance tomorrow night. No, no. All right, good night, everybody. Good to see you you both. All right. Lets move on. It is 7 20. When we come back from the break i dont have a clue what were doing. O, i know what it is, the cost of living in philadelphia compared to other cities around the country, oh, brother. We have karaoke stuff together, karaoke guy is here. There will be fun. Ever wonder how much money you need to make to live comfortably in philadelphia there is a new survey out that reveals, what each city, how much money you need to make in each city to live comfortably. I mean, basically living like mike jerrick lauren. Oh, stop it. What is criteria. You need about 60,000 to live comfortably, in philadelphia. Sixty grand. Heres the problem, Median Household Income where you are is, 37,000. So workers are coming up 22,000 short. That is what you need to be able to go out, shop, not too much but a little bit here and there. Just not worry about having to make end meet. You are 22,000 short in your neck of the woods. Thirtyfive you this dollars short in my neck of the wood, and you do see some of those big numbers in other big large cities. It comes from go banking rates. Com. Lauren. Yes. Yeah compare to us other cities other than new york. Lets see, miami, you need, they come in 46,000 short. That is much more the 22,
