Hillary clinton is now the first woman ever nominated by a Major Political party. Our very own Matt Odonnell heads our Live Team Coverage from the Wells Fargo Center in south philadelphia. Well have more on whats happening today. Also former president bill clinton gets a taste of the philadelphia night life. Details on what was the hottest ticket in town. But first up lets head on over to dave murphy to tell you what to expect on this wednesday and karen rogers is keeping an eye on keeping your commute smooth. Good morning. Well, our heat wave went to day five yesterday. It looks like it will hit day six today. We have a little bit of action on radar, its just light spotty shower activity coming through the areas south of wilmington. Wilmington may be getting a couple sprinkles looks like more is coming in through southern Chester County and that will be in wilmington before too much longer. Middletown delaware smyrna dover also getting some of this and its probably going pass over into south jersey. This only be an issue during morning rush hour and its fairly light but thats something to keep your eyes out for. Out to the west additional showers popping in south of pittsburgh. Looks like that may work its way east as well. Best chance of any showers or thunderstorms today would probably be south philadelphia. 78 degrees in the city right now 69 in allentown, 77 in millville, 80 in wilmington, 73 in trenton and 74 in cape may. Lets check out those dewpoints. We have seen them drop into the 60s across most of the region but if youre in wilmington and especially in millville, dover and cape may these are areas that are still feeling rather humid this morning. Only moderate humidity from philadelphia and points north. If youre running outside this morning maybe getting that jog in 77 degrees by 7 oclock. Again look out for some showers mainly south of philadelphia this morning. And then we get into the 80s by 10 oclock. By noon the upper 80s and it does look like well briefly get into the 90s again noon with a high today of 91 degrees at about 3 oclock. Humidity not all that bad in philadelphia and points north. Its still pretty sticky the farther south you go through the region. Karen we have an uptick in humidity even here in the city tomorrow. Well have details on that and the next rounds of thunderstorms coming up in the seven day. All right day. Lets start yow with a life look at the vine street expressway here near eighth street traffic moving very nicely at this early hour. Want to expect the vine to be shut down at times as motorcades come through with delegates. Theyve been doing this the past couple days and well see that again today so youll want to watch for that right now and also the Police Check Point up ahead on the vine street expressway eastbound because theyre not allowing vehicles over 5 tons to continue onto i95 and so you wander to watch for restrictions there and thats been causing lots of delays on i95 as youre heading northbound near the platt bridge at that check point and southbound on i95 the near the vine street expressway. So, well see how bad the delays get a little later on today t i want to go outside live right here, this is Chester County the tramp 401 to 202. Weve got a disabled truck stuck in the gore point. Watch for that out there off to the side and in Hopewell Township this downed tree still causing an issue here river road has been blocked near Fiddlers Creek between that area and church road it also brought down wires so they have a couple crews other scene. Stick to bear tavern road as your alternate to that one. Matt. Thank you, karen. Several countries around the world have elected a woman head of state. In ours we have never even gotten to this point. The Democratic Party officially nominated Hillary Clinton for president shattering a political Glass Ceiling. Her former primary opponent did the honors. I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for president of the united states. And former president and would be first gentleman detailed Hillary Clinton as a mother, wife and agent of change for people around the world. Former president clinton also played host to one of the hottest tickets in town. Action News ReporterAnnie Mccormick live at the Reading Terminal market with the details on that. Annie. Reporter yeah, matt, who do you wander to party with if you are hillary supporter . Like he said maybe the potential first gentleman. Take a look at this video. This is video of former president bill clintons motorcade arriving shortly before he attended a private party here at Reading Terminal market. Well, look close and you can see the former president with his secret service detail. The market held the hillary post gala celebration a ticketed only event honoring the 42nd president of the united states. Well, overnight we talked to hillary supporters who stayed up late to celebrate the history making announcement that a woman is now on the ticket to be president. Take a listen. She cares so deeply about who are disadvantaged, cares about our country its place in the world and i just think that it would be a whole new era if we elect her as president. Emotions, tears of joy, theres happiness and its democracy. Reporter already over the course of this week we told you about a number of private parties and also private events include something major musicians that already happened this week. Theres even more that are expected to happen. Were hearing Katy Perry Fergie big names out there possibly snoop dogg. Still lots to go on over the next two days until the end of this convention and a lot expected to happen especially at night. For now reporting live outside of Reading Terminal market Annie Mccormick channel6 action news. Back to you matt. Thank you annie. Delegates will officially nominate virginia senator tim kaine as clintons running mate and well hear from the Vice President ial nominee. Well also hear from current Vice President joe biden and president obama. The president will deliver a prime time speech. Bernie sanders delegates and other supporters took their protests directly to the media. They swarmed the media tent outside the Wells Fargo Center after Hillary Clinton was formally nominated. Some taped their mouths shut for dramatic effect as they left the arena angered by their feelings that the Democratic Party deliberately sabotaged sanders candidacy. Back to you tam and gray in the studio. Thank you, matt. Indeed happening today republican president ial nominee donald trump will be in pennsylvania at a town hall rally in scranton t the billionaire businessman is scheduled to speak at Lackawanna College at 3 00 this afternoon. Yesterday trump and his running mate mike pence stopped to North Carolina to speak to the veterans of Foreign Wars Convention and trump was political of the democrats on military issues noting that the first day of their convention on monday had no mention of the threat of isis. Trump has scheduled Campaign Stops in florida wisconsin and then ohio. Time now to turn to dave murphy to talk about the weather. The boys wanted to go to the park last night. I said maybe in a few days. What about today. Humidity started to drop you should have gone to the park last night. It was better. It was hot. It is going to be hot again today. Just barely continuing the heat wave. Storm tracker6 live double scan in the meantime has another issue for parts of the region and that is a light shower popping through areas to the south of philadelphia. You can see that wilmington is just on the cusp of this, middletown, smyrna, dover also picking up some of this light to moderate rain. This is not the kind of heavy rain that would produce ponding and puddling on the roads. Of course when roads get wet you always have to slow down a little bit with that spray on the windshield so thats something to keep in mind. Looks like bits and pieces of this are surviving into salem county right now. I expect this to be passing south of philadelphia during the morning commute and then maybe later today we get a couple showers or thunderstorms popping up in these southern areas. As we take a look outside we have sky6 kind of cloudy over philadelphia. Its going to be one of those days where you got more sun the farther north you go through the region and probably more clouds the farther south you he go. 78 degrees in philadelphia currently 69 in allentown, 80 in wilmington, 73 tr wilmington, did you like that. 73 in trenton, 77 in millville and 74 in cape may. Were going to make up new names. Futurfuture tracker6 shows you y five, six, seven, eight, nine looks like most of that shower activity we have on radar right now is off to the east and notice how its clearer to the north and cloudier to the south as i mentioned. This afternoon perhaps as soon as noon theres the chance of a couple additional showers or thunderstorms popping up. This is a brand new model run and it is keeping most of the stuff well to the south of philadelphia. Nonetheless if youre down the shore today youll want to keep your eyes and ears out for thunder and darkening skies and get in off the beach just in case a shower or thunderstorm heads your way. By seven or 8 oclock it looks like the threat of spotty showers and storms are over. Still hot and not very humid up in the Lehigh Valley today. A high of 92 degrees. Well get a fair amount of sunshine. Down the shore were going for a high of 84, partly sunny, still humid and again there is that chance of a spotty shower or thunderstorm down the beach. And in your exclusive accuweather 7day you see todays high of 91 in philadelphia, some sun, more sun to the north, more clouds to the south. Still hot. And maybe a spotty shower or a thunderstorm in southern areas. Not all that humid across most of the region although in those southern areas it is stickier today. Then tomorrow hot and more humid everywhere, a high of 93. At night there could be a strong thunderstorm and friday not as hot. Still humid a high of 85. Looks like the heat wave is over on friday but on friday there could be a spotty shower or a thunderstorm. And then warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s this weekend. Another afternoon thunderstorm could pop in a couple of spots but i dont think either day is a washout. Hopefully the union game on sunday night will stay dry and humidity droppingday and tuesday. So, just make it to next week. Right. Thats all you got to do. 80s look good. Yes, they do. Its 5 10. More Live Team Coverage from the dnc in south philadelphia coming up. The mothers of the Movement Made an impassioned plea to delegates. That story and more next. Karen. Were live in south philadelphia and you can see weve got South Broad Street blocked at pattison avenue of course for the dnc.

Sky6 hd giving you a glimpse of the temple camera overlooking city hall. Hot and less humid and meteorologist, david murphy says relief is on the way. And relief is always good. Hopefully there will be some relief for people caught up in traffic snarls today karen. We would like to see that. Monday the delays were horrific related to the dnc because of the Police Checkpoints. Tuesday that were just bad. Were moving i think in the right direction. Well see what today provides. Were looking live here, this is i95 approaching the vine street expressway. Thats your southbound traffic. You see the number of Police Officers, the cones all set up. Theyre blocking the left lane and blocking the shoulder and what theyre doing is scanning for vehicles over 5 tons cause youre not allowed to drive on i95 if you have one of those big vehicles over 5 tons through philadelphia. And they have several Police Officers cause one of them will go and follow any vehicle they need to to get them to move over. So thats been causing delays and problems through the area. I think people have been traveling earlier or trying to travel at different times take different routes to avoid delays. Calcon hook road at coates road this accident cleared so looking better here in sharon hill. Lets check this. Stale vehicle fire happening right now. This is Plymouth MeetingMontgomery County on ridge pike and industrial way. Watch for crews other scene with this vehicle fire. Unless Chester County construction crews out here blocking the left lane westbound on the turnpike between malvern and downingtown.
