Headed into nice long Holiday Weekend . Might be four day weekends for you if you are lucky enough to have today off. Sort of piggyback it with the holiday monday. Overall i would say it is pretty decent forecast. Right now we have High Pressure in place, this is at least personally my favorite day of the weekend here, because it will be so comfortable outside. Eventually though, the combination of this next storm will start to move in for us, actually bringing in potential for severe storms across the higher planes over the next few days, heavy rain beginning to build, in across the gulf coast. So were sitting pretty for now. Eventually some of the moisture and heat for that matter starts to get drawn in. Our forecast starts to heat up and steam up as a result. Outside, live Neighborhood Network we go, outside beach patrol headquarters, sun is up. The waves still look relatively light. But we do continue to have that moderate risk for rip currents. Headed to the shore, find lifeguard, stay very close by. Low humidity continues today, though, the un i skies with us across the board, gorgeous afternoon, and real comfortable night. We drop to 63 degrees, couple of clouds, nothing more, cool, comfy, it is great sleeping weather. Tomorrow just tad warmer, tad more humid. So also real nice by sunday and labor day, not to mention tuesday maybe as the kids are going back to school, it is heating up again the humidity returns with a threat of shower or storm as well. Bob . Did you say back to school is. I sure did. I was ready for the kids to go back to school the week they got out of school. Okay, father. Center city, made in america concert, here is a map, the yellow lines indicate all of the road closures, that will be in lockdown mode here, for the entire weekend. Your best bet, avoid both the Martin Luther king drive and the kelly drive. Because you will be pushed off into the neighborhood here. Even from the neighborhood, access out of town is going to be difficult. Head for the majors. Give yourself some extra time. The vine st. Expressway is your access in and out of the city with the schuylkill expressway, if you have to, work your way over to 95, try to stay well away from the closures, unless of course you are actually going to be going to the concert over the weekend. Lets go outside, live look at one of our traffic cameras, heres the scene of that overturned tractortrailer, in the clean up process here, but it is blocking the ramps from the roosevelt boulevard to the westbound schuylkill expressway. So if you are coming from the northeast, coming down the boulevard, exit for kelly drive. The kelly drive takes you at the bottom of the ramp there, you make a right, get right back on the schuylkill. Otherwise you are going to be forced to sit in traffic and go eastbound on the schuylkill, and then make a uturn. So a loft confusion with this closure of the ramp there with that tractortrailer. An accident in the neighborhood, at broad and belfield. Otherwise mass transit looking good. Erika, back to you. Updating breaking news right now, hitandrun thats left woman fighting for her life.
