party. cleaning up after the storms. take a look at what happened after the heavy rain and winds knocked down trees it and power lines in our area. our neighbors are dealing with the widespread damage and the aftermath. good morning and welcome to "nbc 10 news today." i'm vai sikahema. >> and i'm tracy davidson. let's begin with meteorologist sheena parveen in the first alert weather center. >> it's about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than yesterday morning. 54 degrees, philadelphia. 51 in of our south jersey neighborhoods. even low 50s at the shore. 51 in wilmington, delaware. pennsylvania suburbs coming in around 50 degrees. the lehigh valley showing some spots in the 40s. only coming in at 45 degrees. 48 in allentown. bethlehem coming in at 49 degrees. a little chilly start to your morning. it's breezy outside. if you're in philadelphia, 54 degrees is the temperature. as we get towards 8:00 a.m., 58

degrees will be the temperature with a breezy west wind. as we go into 2:00 p.m., 72 degrees and sunny. winds could already be near 20 miles an hour. it's going to be a windy but sunny, dry day. i think it's going to be pretty perfect. just a little breezy here and there. going into the weekend, we're going to get warmer. we're talking about some thunderstorms for part of your weekend. i'll show you that with your neighborhood weather coming up. let's get a check on the roadways with katy zachry. >> good morning. a quick check of our drive time at the top of the hour, as many people might be getting up early, getting out the door to work this morning. 95, a pretty smooth drive southbound between woodhaven and the vine street expressway. 76, the schuylkill, looking good between the blue route and vine street expressway. 476 as you make your way southbound between 76 and 95, about a 15-minute drive. we love the 5:00 hour if you take the vine street expressway. that's when a lot of the overnight construction that's part of a very long-term project lifts.

now the vine in both directions has reopened, and traffic is happily moving along with no issues. moving into new jersey and collingswood, route 30 between white horse pike and airport road, you'll find construction there probably until the 6:00 hour. that's when most projects lift in new jersey. then also there's a 95 closure we're watching. 95 southbound was pretty smooth, but if you're going from street road to the on-ramp to 95 northbound, that is closed. vai and tracy? breaking news here on nbc 10. at least one person is dead in south philadelphia this morning after a fire broke out inside the home. nbc 10's matt delucia is live at that home on south taylor street. matt, what can you tell us? >> reporter: vai, firefighters did find one person inside, an elderly man. you can see some of the folks who were displaced from this fire, some of the neighbors. this is a row home area here on the 1700 block of taylor street.

you see this block filled with row homes. right there in the middle, that is where this fire happened. just before 2:00 this morning, you might even be able to see some of the firefighters there just behind the cars. they've been going through, trying to determine the cause of this fire. take a look at some video we shot early on when the fire activity was still going on at the scene. search and rescue crews showed up and found that man dead on the first floor. as i mentioned, the fire is still under investigation. they're still working to determine if he had died as a result of fire or because of something else. at this point, it's unknown if there were working smoke detectors. we spoke with the fire commissioner about that topic. >> every fire is a tragedy. we want to remind everybody the importance of smoke alarms and being safe around fire. >> reporter: and the firefighters tell me they're going to be here for most of the morning. fire marshal is also on scene. you can see they still have all the hoses that are down here on

the 1700 block of taylor street. we are right by 24th and moore. this entire area is still cordoned off. they have fire trucks still here on scene. the fire is out, but they're just keeping an eye on this, cleaning up the operation. of course, we're going to continue to have more updates throughout the morning as we get them. one bit of good news, no injuries to any of the firefighters as a result of battling this fire. for now, i'm live in south philadelphia, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. >> matt, thanks. philadelphia's full city council will now consider the so-called soda tax after the bill passed its first hurdle last night. a council committee approved a consensus measure to put a 1.5 cent per ounce tax on sweetened drinks. mayor kenny had been pushing for a 3 cent per ounce tax to pay for universal pre-k and to reinvest in parks and recreation

centers. passage of the lesser tax passed after it was found out the money would be used to go to the city's general fund. >> retailers will be forced to pass this tax on to consumers. >> traditionally, if the bills come out of committee with a significant vote, more often than not, it will pass on a final passage. >> council is scheduled to cast a final vote next thursday. nbc 10's pamela osborne will break down what the new plan means in the next half hour. meantime, you'll soon have more places to buy wine in pennsylvania. yesterday governor tom wolf signed a bill allowing wine sales in licensed grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, and delis. the bill will also give state store mrs. flexibility over their hours and pricing. it takes effect in august. the union that represents state liquor store employees says the changes will lead to job losses, but the governor predicts the stores that can now sell wine will add jobs. it's looking more unlikely

you'll be able to carry booze on the atlantic city boardwalk this summer. council pulled the ordinance from its agenda yesterday that would permit open containers of alcohol on the boards. the council president said he delayed the vote to allow the state alcohol and berch control board to take a closer look at the ordinance. council only meets monthly during the summer, so it'll be july before it could be considered again. it's 5:06. today president obama will meet with bernie sanders at the white house. the president will urge the vermont senator to back hillary clinton's candidacy for president. sanders has promised to fight on through the last primary contest, which is next tuesday in washington, d.c. he will hold a rally there tonight. meantime, hillary clinton is taking a few days off from the campaign trail as she celebrates her historic victory. >> she's the first woman to lock up the presidential nomination of a major party. she spoke with "nbc nightly news" anchor lester holt last night about the next phase of the election season.

clinton says she won't trade insults with donald trump. >> he can run a campaign of insults. i'm running a campaign of issues that are going to produce results for the american people. i'm going to talk about why he's unqualified to be president based on his own words and his deeds. >> clinton also called trump temperamentally unfit to be commander in chief. the nbc 10 investigators took a closer look at women in politics. >> women make up less than 18% of the state legislature. the state has never had a woman governor or elected a woman to the united states senate. that could change in november. well, the presumptive republican nominee, drurp, faces growing anger from some in the gop who say he's wasted his head start over clinton in the general election season. >> trump clinched the nomination in early may, but he's had a slow start on raising campaign cash and getting organized.

now he's scrambling to make up for lost time. he's also facing fallout after attacks on the mexican heritage of a judge overseeing a lawsuit against trump university. so what could happen in philadelphia in case a riot breaks out during the democratic national convention? coming up in the next half hour, we'll tell you what officials are reportedly doing as a precautionary measure. tracy? it's 5:08. people all over our region are cleaning up debris and damage after storms rolled through yesterday. this is the scene in moorestown. flames and smoke were clearly visible. and this is what it looked like as hail came pouring down in ft. dix, burlington county. these strong storms hit neighborhoods all over the region yesterday afternoon. and now to camden county. part of the pavement buckled when a tree uprooted and toppled on to a home on willow dale
