Hazel was eventually fired from solebury for alleged embezzlement. Turning to the forecast. As we look live at cape may, new jersey, and its a pretty picture on a friday night.

And also track our next chance of rain coming up in the full accuweather forecast. Monica . Thank you, cecily. Sounds great. Today marks a national day of action. Tens of thousands of folks across the country skipped school and work to attend rallies and marches. And that included in philadelphia. Already demonstrations are gathering in multiple spots including city hall and in west philadelphia. Action News Reporter john rawlins is live with more on the demonstrations still going on at this hour. Good evening, john. Reporter monica, the protests behind me at msb began at about 4 00. About five minutes ago, a group broke off from that protest and have now gone into the middle of the lanes here between city hall and msb and are blocking traffic. Now, what youre seeing is that group is theyre starting to form up in the lanes. Thats where theyre moving. This are clear indications they about going to stop trafficment. The question is how long will police allow this to last . If we pan more to the right, we can see there is a considerable contingent of Philadelphia Police officers on bicycles here. This is really just evolving right now. It started with about 10, 15 people who entered the lanes and blocked traffic. That was about five minutes before we began here. And now that number has increased. Youre looking at scores of people in there. And at this point, the police are letting it play out. Well see how long that will go. But as you said, there have been a number of protests scheduled for today, and that actually did happen today. In fact, two groups are supposed to be forming up now in the art museum area. But lets take a look at what happened earlier. This protest called the black resistance march is part of a loose coalition holding demonstrations in multiple cities today. The coalition, strike for democracy, says the collective protests today are against what it calls the victimizing the people by the trump administration. But megan, an organizer of the black resistance march, says there is more. Our goal is to bring awareness that we shouldnt be just protesting about trump but we should be prosing about all the issues that predates jumps election. Were here to discuss, of course, the stop and frisk. Reporter earlier today, several hundred gathered united in their dislike of the president s policies. My friends are being deported right now. I mean, its really serious. Reporter one speaker said if the left wants to successfully challenge the gop agenda, it must employ the tactics of the tea party. We can look to the tea partys success. They gave us a blueprint of how to leverage our political popularity against congress. We have the numbers. We need to make them work for us. Reporter organizers see demonstrations as the beginning of a sea that will grow to more significant protests and strikes down the road. That the president and his supporters cannot ignore. We hope that people will use today to plan for march 8th. Use march 8th to plan for may day. Use may day to plan for the next major event. And so we think this is going to take time to build the kind of force necessary. Reporter okay. Back live light now. The black resistance protest continues. As we say, it changed about five to six minutes ago from being on the sidewalk here in front of msb. All the protesters now have moved out into the lanes between msb and city hall that has stopped traffic. Police are reda have rerouted some traffic around the area but it does seem to have snarled other vehicles. You can see a large school bus back there with a number of kids on it right now. Theyre hanging out the window watching this, looking at it. And at this point, still police are allowing this protest to occupy the lanes here. So if youre driving in center city right now, you might be forewarned to stay away from this portion of the roundabout around city hall. It is locked and at this point not showing any change in the situation. The police are standing by. Theyre observing and monitoring the situation. But at this point, the protesters do have the lanes. So thats the situation right now. Live in center city. John rawlins, channel 6 action news. Back to you. Thank you, john.

The action cam was out this afternoon along the Wissahickon Creek and its going to be one of those weekends either of the days you want to plan some outdoor activities, take a walk at your local park or your favorite national park. And even if you want to go for a little bit of ice cream because it definitely will be warm enough as we look at the temperatures right now. There is a chill in the air right now. Upper 30s to near 40 for most of the area north and west of center city. Levittown, southern bucks county. Were sitting at 46 degrees right now. In delaware, 41, a pretty popular number at this time from ewing to hammonton, to vineland. 39 in the villas and southern part there of cape may county. And also 45 in dover.

If you are expected to hit the shore this weekend, if youre anywhere along the coastal communities, the water temperatures in the upper 30s or 40s, if you get a wind shift come off the water or bay, its going to feel very cold. So if youre heading down there, definitely still bring a jacket.

And theres that wind shift from the northwest to the southwest. Very light, though, at 3 to 6 miles an hour. The highs for tomorrow, very warm afternoon. Lots of sun. And then very late in the day, youre going to notice some high clouds coming in from the south and west. But it is not going to prevent these temperatures from hitting 64 in philadelphia, 60, allentown. 62 in wilmington. 63 in millville. And there you can see some those 50s right along the immediate shore. So, again, its going to feel great in the sun.

And the reason why is the jetstream is going across the rockies, hitting into canada, and then staying on the u. S. Canadian border allowing temperatures roughly 15 to 25 degrees above normal from the midwest down to the deep south. The midatlantic and even marts of new england where they have feet of snow on the ground. They will get quite a treat this weekend. Here are the records. And here are expected forecasts for both saturday and sunday for philadelphia specifically. We should be about five degrees off of the record tomorrow. So were not really going to hit the record.

The exclusive accuweather forecast, if youre wonder when this is more typical, mid to late april. Even on president s day, lots of sun. It is cooler. Were going to have a front come through so a wind shift brings tempts down to the 50s but thats still nine degrees above normal and a great day to be outdoors. And it quickly turns cloudy tuesday, 49. Next front comes through wednesday with some morning showers, returning sun and then behind that, here we go again, temperatures back not lower and mid60s by the end of next week to see 4 out of 7 days in the 60s in february, pretty rare.
