your lawn is looking a little yellow maybe you want the shower. satellite and radar shows you there's a mix of clouds with some breaks went will see some sun building in fairly early like we did yesterday. most our morning showers are melting away to our south and west but eventually as we move through the day there is the chance of at least a spotty downpour here or there. 76 degrees right now in philadelphia, 74 in allentown. really the majority of the region in the mid 70's as you step outside and the dewpoints, the measure of how humid it is are really high. we were just about over 70 almost everywhere and that's why we say that if there is a shower that develops in this warm and super humid air mass it's going to be really easy to produce a downpour so you want to look out for that if you happen to be in a minority of the region that gets that. 73 degrees by 6 o'clock. by 8 o'clock 76, warm and humid, partly cloudy skies stepping outside this morning. and rolling through the day it does look like we'll probably stay in the 80's today which will end our heat bave but with the humidity so high it will hardly matter. 89 is your high at about 3 o'clock and again it won't be raining all the time but at just about any time during the

afternoon matt pelman there is the chance of that downpour. i'll track those for you with future tracker6 coming up. >> we'll be on the lookout. good morning david. good morning, everybody. definitely a warm overnight for our construction crews but they were out nonetheless here along 95 northbound side in the ongoing work zone by girard avenue. they have cleared now so all three northbound lanes are back in business. construction crews also gone from the vine eastbound and the schuylkill although we do still have that broken down truck on the schuylkill eastbound near city avenue but it's mostly off to the right shoulder. still some work going on over here as you travel through cherry hill township along 38 westbound past lexington avenue just past camden catholic. watch out for the left lane and center lane being blocked for the next hour and there's still some work on another chunk of 38 kind of between mount holly and southampton township between savory way and 206 there they're blocking up to two lanes until 6:00 this morning. also until 6:00 here in christiana the ramp from 95 northbound to christiana northbound highway one northbound is shut down.

that's happening during the overnights this week. then once they clear, they're going to close the ramp from highway one southbound to 95 southbound during the day today and of course at the delaware memorial bridge northbound sew still headed into new jersey we're still without that right lane. that's lasting for a few more weeks. tam. >> okay, thank you, matt. well, a south jersey family is in shock this morning coming to grips with a horrible reality. last night their five children were out playing. a car plowed into them leaving a number of the children hurt and one child, a toddler, dead.
