It looks like futures are reporting to a higher open. Thats the latest in business. Back to you. Thanks so much maribel. All right, karen. Lay some summer on us again. Ive got plenty of summer to give. Lets start to Storm Tracker 6. We are dry right now. A couple of sprinkles up to the north and west and one down in cape may as this front tries to move through the area but its a mostly degree day. We see a few clouds and yool notice the clouds a built more today. It really stalls through the area right now. Lets take a look right now at 62 degrees the current temperature. The dew point is 59 degrees. The winds out southwest pumping up that more moist air mass and humid. The pressure is falling and the ocean temperature is 68. Heres satellite and radar, a different picture than the past couple of days where we had that High Pressure right over us. Here we see that front starting to come through. As the front comes through it just kind of washes out. It gives us a bit more cloud cover, maybe a sprinkle especially north and west, but it sticks around the next couple of days. Lets show you what this looks like here. Youre going to see just partly sunny skies today. Still pretty enough out there and certainly warm. 83 degrees for your high a southwesterly flow ahead of that front. At 8 00 a. M. , its 64. At 10 00 a. M. , its 70. At 3 00, 81 degrees. The High Pressure south of us today and its just pumping up that warm and kind of humid air mass. In fact the next few days its going to feel like summer. Temperatures will be 1015 degrees above average. Then what happens later in the week, the high moves off the coast and we get some tropical moisture coming our way. Were talking a good 13 inches of rain possible with this and we need the rain. This is going to be early next week and its because of tropical depression 16, not yet a Tropical Storm. Well see if that happens at the next update at 11 00 a. M. Its way down near nicaragua but the reason were watching closely is its likely to become a category 1 hurricane, it will be Hurricane Nate and it looks like landfall will be between louisiana and jacksonville. By the time mitt reaches our latitude it will be just a area of low pressure. Today pretty dry if a front comes through maybe a sprinkle and the front lingers so the next couple of days will be similar. 83, a little more humid than yesterday, more clouds. Partly sunny, 81. Maybe a shower in one or two spots. Saturday very warm 84. The front lifts back up to the north. Sunday its humid with a spotty shower. 82 mostly dry for the eagles game but really warm and humid. Monday we expect tropical downpours. On and off throughout the day. It looks like the rain could linger on tuesday and it will also hold the temperatures in the upper 70s. Wednesday clouds and sun, 77. Absolutely no fall in sight and these mild mornings are sticking with us through the rest of the week. So winter will just like. Were going to have to wait, yeah. But it will happen in a second. Thank you, karen. 6 12 now. Watch out hamburglar. A thief in long island proves he knows his way around the kitchen. All right. Were going over to matt pellman and all morning long weve had one big, breaking story and it is that backup there on the schuykill eastbound. Its a pretty big backup and its still not open unfortunately. Were not sure how long this investigation is going to take but they havent wrapped it up just yet. The eastbound side of the schuykill does remain closed here on grays ferry. All traffic being forced off. Its a fatal motorcycle accident that theyre investigating that happened about 3 00. More than 3 hours weve been without the eastbound side of the schuykill and traffic is severely dliid. Speeds like 5 Miles Per Hour coming east. You dont want to get on to the east side of the vine street expressway. Go over to 95 and jump on that and head southbound towards south philadelphia but the eastbound schuykill not where you want to be. Luckily the crash we had that was blocking the ramp from the westbound schuykill to the eastbound vine is gone. Cross that off the list. But we have a crash westchester pike, where giampinos is on the eastbound side. A new one started yesterday closing goeshen road during the midday. 9 00 to 3 00 its out of commission for water installation. This also began yesterday in fran conia trip township.

We expect to learn more today about the three American Special forces soldiers who were killed when they were ambushed in the african country of niger.

Americans are in niger to provide training and assistance. Investigators are trying to figure out how inmates got on the roof. Officials did not see it as a serious escape attempt. The inmates would have had to get through at least three fences topped with razor wire in order to get out to freedom. No Staff Members were injured. Favorite story of the day here. A hungry burglar broke into a Mexican Restaurant in long island new york and seemed to know his way around the kitchen. The suspect broke in through a back window. Surveillance cameras show the man cooking himself a meal and cleaning up after himself. The owners say if he wasnt a crook they would hire him. He knew food safety skills. He would change gloves frequently after handling food and handling another object. Investigators say the burglar also stole 100 but left 1 in the tip jar. In todays tech bites, new technology is causing big distraction on the roads. Aaa says programming and checking navigation devices causes more problems than texting distracting drivers for more than 40 seconds on average taking your eyes off the road for more than 2 seconds doubles the crash.
