the 2016 election asking why obama didn't do something about russian meddling. >> so, it's going to be really warm later, david, but we've got some dense fog in some spots right now. >> yes, we do. storm tracker6 live double scan shows at least we're dry although anywhere you have fog there is some of that moisture on your windshield. as we take a look outside or try to, anyway, there you see penn's landing and of course it's easier to get a shot like this when you have the camera well above the ground but even at the surface there are reports of some dense fog. so you want to be careful through the fog. at this height you can see traffic appears to be getting up and down i-95 with no big problem. 48 degrees is your current temperature, winds west-southwest at 7 miles per hour and obviously not too windy and that is one of the reasons why the fog is settled in. you need some wind to kick it out or the sun to come up and start evaporating the top of it. that will that probably happen by about 9, 10 o'clock this morning. 37 degrees currently in allentown, 39 degrees in reading, 48 in philadelphia, 51 in trenton, 51 in wilmington. even in these cooler suburbs for now it looks like the temperatures are high enough where you're not going to get any of that drizzle or water droplets related to any fog freezing up on road surfaces so you should be okay that way. your big issue is going to be visibility. 53 degrees in millville, 44 in cape may. there you see the clouds building in from yesterday and still there right now. it doesn't look like there's hemorrhage much of a break out to the west and we still have some precipitation up in new york state but we actual are expecting the sunshine to break back through as we go through the morning and into the afternoon. today's forecast overall, mild. 52 degrees by 8 o'clock. still dealing with some fog in some spots. by 10 o'clock the fog should be breaking and after that we expect the return of a decent amount of sunshine. a noon temperature of 61. and by 3 o'clock, we're going to go for a high of 70. if we hit that, it will tie the existing record in philadelphia set all the way back in 1939. even by 6 o'clock tonight, it's a pretty nice pattern for you and this unfortunately is a different graphic but shows you what we were doing yesterday so if you want to just kind of look back and say, yeah , it was cloudy and a little cool. all right. then we go into the tale of two seasons. out in the west coast area right now it's cold with a trough and a jet stream. actually have freeze warnings out in california but as you move to the east, big ridge of high pressure in place. this is a real powerful ridge that's going to be with us for a couple days and that flow around it is going to grab onto really warm air from places like saint louis atlanta and raleigh, bring it up into our neck of the woods and we'll wind up with temperatures next couple of days roughly 25 degrees above average. in fact, future tracker6 tomorrow shows you starting out in the 40's -- excuse me, 50's and then winding up in the 70's tomorrow and i'm actually going for a high of 73 tomorrow, which would be a record in philadelphia. so, 70 is today's high. temperature absolutely zooming. worked get some sunshine back in play once we dump the morning fog and clouds. record warmth tomorrow with a high of 73. the old record 72 set back in 1930, a couple of real old records getting touched the next couple days. thursday we're back to cooler and more damp conditions with rain arriving during the day, 49 the high and on friday periods of rain, cloudy skies and 48 degrees the high there. then we get back up into the 60's for the weekend. looks like 61-degree highs on saturday. and again, on sunday,. and on saturday we are looking at some afternoon rain moving in and there might be a little bit more of that spilling in for parts of sunday. there's a chance most of it is over in the morning but we'll see about that. >> thanks, david. >> uh-huh. >> 4:13. new research shows how soda affects fertility in men and women. >> firefighters rescued three workers dangling off a highrise building. >> a family is amazed to still be alive after a massive tree crashes on top of their house. karen. >> we're looking live right now at i-95 near the ben franklin bridge and we had an accident involving an overturned vehicle that has cleared. you can see it's a little damp out there currently looking at the roads and fog in places. we'll talk about that next. >> ♪ >> ♪ >> little foggy on the action cam. good morning, everyone. 4:16, tuesday and we are situated along the roosevelt boulevard at tyson avenue in northeast philadelphia. not many people out on the roads at this early hour but there are some dense pockets of fog that you do need to watch out for. >> so, let's get you on over to karen rogers to help you with the morning's commute. good morning. >> good morning. and we do have fog through the area so you're going to want to slow it down as you head out right now. we're looking live at the schuylkill expressway here near the boulevard. no other problems. just lots of low clouds out there as you're heading out so be careful for that right now. we do still have construction on the schuylkill near south street blocking a lane in either direction. this is upper moreland and easton road is closed between mill road and the pennsylvania turnpike. it's an accident involving a pedestrian. we're hearing there are injuries on the scene so you'll see ems workers on the scene here in upper moreland so watch for this. stick to york road or moreland road as your alternate because easton road is shut down and with poor and visibility kind of hard to see pedestrians and construction workers out there so make sure you slow it down. we're looking outside live at 422 and this particular shot fog not looking as bad right now. no extra overnight construction. this is a live look towards trooper. that's your eastbound traffic heading towards king of prussia and moving fine through the region. let's look at the visibility reports with the fog just 310ths of a mile in allentown philadelphia lancaster and reading so you can see really poor visibility out there. the fog causing a problem in millville, 1.3-mile visibility. so be careful as you head out certainly if you're flying out you want to call ahead with problems like that at the airport as well. certainly we're mild, though. 42 degrees in quakertown. the upper 40's already in center city. it's 55 in hammonton and it's already 56 degrees in dover, delaware. and we're going up from there topping off at 70, matt. >> thank you, karen. three workers are back on the ground after dangling off the side of a highrise in jacksonville, florida. one of the workersers was hanging from a harness yesterday. another was stranded in scaffolding that was heavily tilted on the side of the building. firefighters secured an anchor and pulled all three workers to the roof. >> a massive tree crashed through a family's home in north carolina. the force of the impact flattened part of the house and sheared off a section of the roof. a family of three was inside when the tree fell early yesterday morning in charlotte. they were able to escape by crawling out of a window. many of their belongings were damaged by the rain. the family for now plans to stay with relatives. >> 4:18. new workout group is using shock therapy to get in shape. >> a bride stuck in an elevator during her wedding reception. we'll be right back. >> ♪ sorry. i can't make it. it's just my eczema again, but it's fine. yeah, it's fine. you ok? eczema. it's fine. hey! hi! aren't you hot? eczema again? it's fine. i saw something the

planners. roger was that handed a drink as soon as she walked out . >> [laughter] >> she needed that. >> her one big night, right, 45 minutes lost but she seemed good natured about it. let's take a look outside right now at west conshohocken. this is the blue route at the schuylkill. southbound traffic on your left headed towards villanova and you see the flashing lights. the ramp from the blue route southbound to the schuylkill, we've got a lane blocked for construction so it's slowing past the scene. let's check mass transit for you. currently no delays or issues, dave. >> mild today and staying that way, karen. we're starting out in the 50's across most of the region, some spots up north in the 40's. going to go to a high of 70 degrees by about 4 o'clock this afternoon and still be holding 64 by 7 o'clock. clouds and fog early but we should see some sunshine return as the day goes on. and if you're flying out of town today, all green aircraft, no major delays. we do have fog in philadelphia. rain out in chicago o'hare and fog up in new york city as well so that's a real problem right around philadelphia all the way up i-95 to new york. matt and tam. >> okay, thank you, david. going on to health check, if you're trying to get pregnant you might want to lay off the soda. new research shows that soda can harm both the fertility in a man and a woman. researchers at
