and west. because of that tropical influence, dew points in the 60s. temperatures in the 60s so that's definitely all the ingredients we need for that fog to develop. a live look over citizens bank

seeing lots of 60s, 65 degrees, allentown, 65 for you, upper 60s for nazareth, and bethlehem. let's head on into philadelphia right now. upper 60s to low 70s. society hill, graduate hospital, current temperature in the upper 60s and for the jersey shore we're seeing upper 60s and a few low 70s. look at those arrows. we're seeing southwesterlies and that's why it's really muggy this morning and that's why we are seeing some areas of patchy fog especially right now for berks county and the lehigh valley. the good news is everything is starting to improve, especially by sunrise at 6:41 a.m. here's your neighborhood planner. by lunchtime today, 78 degrees in philadelphia. low 80s by 4:00 p.m. and notice for philadelphia we mainly have clouds in the forecast. i do think we will see a couple of showers moving through, definitely not a washout but we do have scattered showers so keep that in mind. some recommend nanmnants of irm across the valley. we're seeing 77 degrees and still keeping it there at 4:00 p.m. a look at your expected high temperatures for today, upper 70s to low 80s. i'm not going with all those icons right now. i do think we will see some isolated thunderstorms for tomorrow but tomorrow we're seeing scattered showers and definitely a foggy start to your morning. if you're heading out the door and heading toward 309, i want to give you a helping hand. >> jessica boyington is here with a look at that. right around route 309, looks good so far. both directions are an easy drive. no problems reported. so good news to report there. also watching mass transit where we've had some minor delays proetzty much all throughout the morning. now septa running 20 minutes late. but new jersey transit still running on time. 95 looks good still. we're not seeing any delays there yet. southbound from wood haven road, a 15 minute trip. ten minutes past 6:00 a.m. controversial pipeline showdown. the 22 mill natural gas line is supposed to run right through the south jersey pinelands. up next, why the location of a planned vote today is being moved. also, sleeping like a baby. up next, what a new study shows about adults and who they're cuddling up with. senator bernie sanders has unveiled the details of its health care bill. it also expands medicare. people would make payments depending on their income directly to the government. critics say the bill will go nowhere since there aren't enough details about the final costs and where the money to pay for it will come from. new jersey senator cosponsored that plan. the pinelands expects a big turnout when it meets on a proposed pipeline project right through the protected pine barrens. the meeting has been moved to a theater in trenton to accommodate the expected crowd. now, the commission initially approved the pineland -- the pipeline rather in february. it would run for 22 miles from cumberland to cape may county supplying energy to more than 140,000 customers. supporters say the pipeline would increase energy reliability in south jersey but they fear it will damage the pinelands. the camden city school district is now one of only two districts in the state to remain under state control. the patterson school district is the only other. now the state officials have voted to give the city of newark control over its public schools again. the new jersey board of education voted yesterday to allow newark to regain control of its schools again, after 22 years of state oversight. the state took control of the schools in 1995 because of academic underperformance and budget issues. the commissioner said the newark school district had made progress in improving performance. the move was celebrated with a pep rally at city hall. >> for 22 years, we've been a shadow in our own community. not today. >> we are ready. in life, nobody wants to have a hand up their back being the puppet. >> yesterday's decision is the start of a month long process to return public school control to newark's locally elected school board. about a quarter after 6:00 right now. it's something that might not come right out and admit but many adults still sleep with something from their childhood every night. a teddy bear. >> do you? >> no. >> no? okay. good for you. well, the build a bear workshop commissioned a survey which found 40% of adults still do it and a majority said the teddy bear is the same one they cuddled up to during their childhood. they say it reminded them of the person who gave them the toy. >> i don't believe that. >> that's a good incentive for the company. >> i know someone who does. i can think of her immediately. i can think of a couple of people that do. >> i sleep with my dog. >> i was going to go there. i have two terriers, i prefer the live version. get in there. >> see my wife spooning with my dog. >> they're nice and warm and cozy. >> new study just out that says you don't get good sleep if you do that. >> because you act all uncomfortable and you don't realize there's a dog sleeping next to you. still love sleeping with my boys. i love them. mommy misses you. she'll be home soon but if you're one of those in bed with your teddy bears, wake up. we've got to get you to work and head over to the boulevard. looks good so far. actually, so far all day we've had not a ton of traffic yet and we're only approaching the 6:30 mark which is when we typically start to see any of the big delay, but not yet. southbound moving toward the schuylkill, everything is just fine or at least normal so that's something you'll be okay with. nothing major. watch for some traffic lights out on city avenue right on monument road, so you might see some confusion moving through that intersection there. both directions are okay here. northbound toward trenton, southbound moving toward maybe the 42 freeway or heading to philadelphia you'll be fine there. we'll end here on the 42 freeway like i mentioned a second ago but heading northbound, a five-minute trip. speeds still up into the high 50s. a quarter after 6:00 right now. almost 70 degrees outside. before we go to weather, let's take a live look outside. look at that. sun is rising. a lot of clouds in the sky though. some fog earlier this morning if you were outside and there's kind of like a chilly, like, you know, humid feel to the air. we are dealing with remnants of irma and erika martin is here with more on that. >> we do still have irma. she's been very strong and very active, so we do have some more showers in the forecast for today. we're not expecting washouts. this is scattered showers moving through and my favorite shot it looks really pretty right now because at least that fog has started to mix out locally and the philly metro area, but we do have some fog north and west of philadelphia. let's go ahead and focus on delaware just a bit. temperatures are mainly in the mid to upper 60s but we are seeing a southerly and southwesterly influence, so that tropical moisture coming in from the gulf and that's why woe do have high dew points and it feels muggy right now. millsboro, 70 and south jersey and central jersey look at this, lots of mid to upper 60s. florence current temperature 70 degrees for you and what about the p.a. suburbs? also seeing lots of 60s. st. david 69. satellite and radar image picking up on lots of clouds. we just saw that in the live shot but we're seeing a break here right around philadelphia. northern delaware, so at least a little bit of improvement there. some scattered showers look like they're going to make it into parts of berks county. the lehigh valley, but right now this is not making it to the ground. delaware fog, delaware valley fog starting at 6:00 a.m. i want you to see the improvement from south to north, so again, the worst of the fog is contained north and west of philadelphia. so definitely seeing improvement here in the philly metro area, in jersey, south jersey to jersey shore and for delaware, still seeing a little bit of an issue there as well as bethlehem but notice a break here. we're seeing an improvement as the sun comes out again. what time is it? it is approximately 6:40. so 6:41, that's the sunrise time. we'll see an improvement there. at 3:00 p.m. a break there but more fog i think will start to develop later tonight especially for parts of the lehigh valley. now, beyond that it looks like we have really nice weekend high temperatures. we're going to top out in the low 80s but more importantly we're going to have a lot of sunshine for both saturday and sunday. back to you. >> all right. thanks. a safe place for people addicted to opioids to use the drug. ahead at 6:45, who is openly supporting the controversial idea for a safe injection site and why they say it would be key in battling the epidemic. also, got plans for dinner? a fleet of food trucks for one night only. next what you can enjoy and why tonight's event is so unique. fran grenier. new jersey born and raised. like his father before him, he served our country with honor in the navy. came home and worked his way up from floor technician to supervisor at the salem power plant. as a husband and father, grenier knows how families struggle to make ends meet. that's why he'll fight to cut our taxes, and stand up to career politicians like steve sweeney. if we want to change trenton, there's only one way. fran grenier. nearly every food truck in philadelphia will converge on main street tonight. >> if you're not already hungry this will make you hungry. it means everything will be out there from meats to sweets. that's the fall street festival. it serves as the kickoff to restaurant week. it will be the first time that it's held at nighttime. some truck owners say this event gives them a shot to reach new customers. >> philly is sometimes a tricky spot to be operating a food truck in, so when these events happen, it's a great way to get -- to gather all of your followers together in a short amount of time and have everyone come out, everyone know where to find you. >> the festival starts at 5:00 on main street. rain or shine. there will also be stages with looifz music and when you're out there you can explore some of the neighborhood shops. restaurant week begins tomorrow and lasts through the 28th. good morning, everyone. jessica boyington with you right now and i think we're going to say we have some breaking news where we have an accident just fresh into our system right here on 95 southbound side. all lanes are blocked because of this crash moving through wilmington. so to get past that point take 495 southbound for now. updates for you on this when i come back. this morning there is new hope for 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. as children. >> coming up next, a closer look at the agreement between house and senate democrats and the president. plus what it means for dreamers left in limbo for

this is nbc 10 news today. >> thanks for joining us. it is 6:30 on the dot on your thursday. let's get right to erika martin. she has your most accurate first alert neighborhood forecast. a couple of things for people to deal with as they're living right now. >> we're tracking some fog for parts of the lehigh valley. low cally we're seeing a break in that fog and a really nice start to the day. sunrise 6:41 a.m. officially and right now a live look outside, we are seeing a lot of clouds but overall a much better start to the day simply because we do have that fog clearing. current temperatures, 69 degrees. that's really the issue right now at 3 miles per hour. high dew points matching these temperatures and so we are seeing that fog and we're seeing really muggy conditions. satellite image behind me. you can see those clouds moving across the delaware valley and isolated showers just to the west and approaching berks county, not making it to the ground right now and i don't expect any scattered showers to make it here until another couple of hours and the good news is it's not going to be a washout. here's your hour by hour forecast. notice a break in the clouds, a break in those showers so overall not a bad day. just a foggy start especially for those of you in berks county and lehigh valley. give yourself extra time for that commute. here's jessica with traffic. >> another reason to gifz yourself some extra time especially moving through wilmington, watch for a crash here on 95 southbound side. you can see some big delays right now. they have all lanes blocked approaching the scene because they have to getz everything cleaned up and moved over into the shoulder at least for now. you can take 495 if you're heading southbound through wilmington. also checking in with 95 drive times here, approaching the scene right now only 21 minutes but the traffic right before there like i just showed you is at a complete stand still but approaching the scene starting to get really slow from 49 # 5 to 295 there. speeds are down into the 20s too and here we go. the schuylkill expressway almost at a stand still right around city avenue on that westbound side so slow for montgomery and past the you're headed toward the king of prussia area. now back to you. >> just the past 15 minutes president trump started tweeting about news he had struck a deal with democrats over daca. >> that's right. this affects hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to this country as children. pamela osborn is live for us in the digital operations center. now the president says no, walk us through this. >> yes, so the president tweeted that no deal was made on daca last night when he met with bipartisan groups there. take a look at this tweet. the president says quote, mass ifr border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent would be subject to vote. he followed up with another tweet that said the wall, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls will continue to be built. but that isn't what senate minority leader chuck schumer and house minority leader nancy pelosi said following their dinner. they said they reached an agreement with the president to extend protection to so called dreamers and to come up with a bipartisan border security package that did not include building a wall. the president is still tweeting right now. i just got the latest one. he says in response to daca, does anyone really want to throw out good educated and accomplished young people who have jobs and are serving in the military? really? as i said, this is all happening right now, so no reaction from either side as of yet but we'll keep our eye out for reaction to the president's latest tweets. thank you. and here's what's making headlines this morning. we are learning new details about a deadly school shooting in washington state. now a custodian they say stopped a student from continuing his rampage. one student died in attack at a school near spokane. three others suffered serious injuries. they are expected to survive. the alleged shooter is in custody and authorities have not released the shooter's identity or a possible motive. president will make his first trip to florida after hurricane irma ripped through that state. he will reportedly make a stop in the naples area. meantime officials are assessing the destruction there caused by irma. more than 6,000 national guard trips on the ground now. millions of people are still without power and are now dealing with extreme heat. speaking of extreme haeeat, hollywood, florida, an investigation into eight patients who died in a sweltering nursing home. irma knocked out a transformer that powered the building's air conditioner. >> there is a new twist in the allegations surrounding bob brady, a former judge and a one-time challenger to brady has agreed to plead guilty to violating campaign laws. authorities say moore agreed to drop his democratic primary challenge of brady in return for $90,000 in payments from brady's campaign fund. he's accused of hiding that payment. he will plead guilty to a single count of making false statements in his campaign finance filings. congressman brady's attorney denies his client was aware that the payment to moore would be concealed. and now let's take you state by state for a look at some of the stories across our area. >> police are offering safety checks to businesses after an armed man robbed two restaurants. the man stormed into a pizza shop just as workers were closing in early september. the owner says he tried to negotiate with the man, but when the robber threatened to shoot the worker and held a gun at their heads he opened up the safe. the robber got away with cash. police believe the same man held up a perkins restaurant earlier this summer. there's a new weapon in the arsenal to combat child predators. meet

to detours that blocked off the beach and even a pair of life guards getting sick from wading through this water. in this new agreement the government will build and pay for a new drainage system. well hoskins does it again. he his another home run last night. >> he went deep in the fifth inning of last night ice game. that makes it 17 homers in his first 33 games. not bad numbers there. he is the fastest player in mlb history to reach 17 home runs. >> actually i'm going to get his autograph on a ball today. i mean, it's really outstanding. it's a lot of fun to watch. >> i know this is not going to last forever. it's a game of failure, it's baseball. i just have been lucky enough that i'm able to kind of ride this natural wave. >> the phils would go on to win the game 8-1. >> and check out this tweet from csn. nick williams says hoskins is an alien. he's not human because of this record setting pace. he was named the extraterrestrial. you remember the movie. yeah, great flick. >> that is a compliment. all right. about 20 minutes before 7:00 right now. if you were up earlier this morning you may have encountered some fog out there. of course we had rain last night. erika martin is here with more of what's in our future. doesn't look too bad right now. that live shot right behind, i chose this. i love this. this is absolutely gorgeous. notice we're seeing clouds right now,

seeing a break, no worries, you're clearing soon enough. already looking a lot better there and montgomeryville also seeing an improvement there from south to north. so just hang tight for another hour or so and you're going to see an improvement as the sun comes out. we'll keep this going for you. we'll pause this later. by lunchtime we're not seeing issues with that fog and by about 9:00 a.m. we'll see much of an improvement there. we may see some fog develop later tonight. just a lot of moisture many the atmosphere because we do have that southwesterly and southerly flow and also that

and how you can get around it. >> so we do have a crash here on wilmington, all lanes blocked on the southbound side of 95. that is as you're moving through wilmington right now. you can see this is

hour and 2:00 p.m., 79 degrees so once you leave school this afternoon, kids, at least you'll be able to play outside for a little while and then 79 degrees at 4:00 p.m. with southwesterly winds at 8 miles per hour. and for the lehigh valley, we don't have an image in the background but here we're seeing more fog and i'll show you in our fog forecast. so at noon we're seeing 74 degrees with lots of sunshine and even though we do have this icon right here, i'm going to go with mainly showers especially for the lehigh valley scattered at best. not very organized but we'll be tracking that for you and for the pa suburbs currently at 66 degrees and keeping it in the 70s for much of the day even though we'll top out in the low 80s. fog forecast, we're rt staistar this at 6:00 a.m. that dense fog mainly north and west of philadelphia. but look at this. you're looking a lot better right now at 6:40 a.m. it's a little early for me still. 9:00 a.m. an improvement from south to north there. easton a break in the fog so we like that and as the day progresses, we start to see an improvement there so the great news is that the fog is going to improve as the day progresses. in the final weather we'll talk about what to expect for the weekend. it looks pretty nice. >> we want to get to some breaking news now that jessica boyington has been following in the traffic center. >> i was hoping to give you a good update right now but it's getting worse. weir watching a crash on the southbound side just approaching route -- i-495 on that southbound side and all lanes are blocked. just a second ago it was about this wide for some of that delay. now it's stretching all the way back because they're not letting traffic get through the area. this kind of delay is the worst, because when you have a closure on part of a big part of a highway through a big part of town as well, all of that traffic spills out on to the back roads and everywhere starts to get delay behind that. even delay on the northbound side. to get through this scene, my best bet for you is to get on 495 and bypass the whole thing. you'll see residual delay behind it but still that's the best bet for now. the
