Afternoon. Perhaps into early this evening for the potential for severe thunderstorms. This entire area colored by yellow means theres a slight risk of Severe Weather today. Out to the other side of lancaster where you see a Little Orange creeping in, thats a moderate risk and what this means is that any storms that form this afternoon or this evening could fire up some strong gusty damaging winds, perhaps a little hail and frequent lightning wouldnt even be totally out of the question if somewhere in wide yellow area we get a little tornado popping, too, but well see about that. In the meantime a cloudy start today, mild. Weve got the showers out to the west that will probably come rolling in during the morning and then thunderstorms later this afternoon. Little fog here and there, too, wherever you see the gray patchiness thats where the chance of fog is the best. Right now thats mostly in south jersey and maybe out in Chester County. But if you see some of that, do slow down. I got a little bit of just a faint hint of fog on the temperatures are mild. 57 degrees in philadelphia. In fact most of us in the upper 50s right now so thats good. And as we roll into the afternoon it gets mild, a high of 74 degrees at 3 oclock. But again, in it time after about 2 00 or 2 30 welln the lookout for a line of thunderstorms coming in from the west. Not everybody sees them but those that do will want to take cover. Ill track them on future tracker6 coming up karen. All right dave we can still see that fog on i95 here in delaware county. Kind of see it in the distance. Not as bad as it was maybe an hour ago but if youre traveling between wilmington and the airport we have some fog still in that area. No big delay as youre traveling right now. On the vine street expressway fog is not a problems. Its just a little damp out here and no overnight construction scheduled this week so a little bit of building volume as you head specifically westbound on the vine. But other than that youre looking pretty good. You can see some of the fog on the roosevelt boulevard extension. Ouatr southbound traffic here heading towards the schuylkill. Little bit of fog but no other big deal. Weve got pretty light volume right there. On the schuylkill at conshohocken we had a and disabled vehicle that just cleared. It was off to the side.

Police say theyre looking over Surveillance Video and also have gathered some forensic evidence from the scene as they continue to look for the people responsible. As of right now we have no leads. Reporter tuesday night concerned residents received an update from Philadelphia Police about the investigation into the desecration at Mount Carmel Cemetery. New in the investigation, Police Believe the crime took place sometime between midnight friday and sunday morning. Investigators have gathered forensic evidence from the scene, the fbi is assisting Philadelphia Police. Police believe vandals pushed and knocked over almost a hundred tombstones in the Historic Jewish cemetery. The Jewish Federation of greater philadelphia organized a cleanup yesterday. People from all faiths joined in to help. This destruction has a deeper impact to many especially those who have family who survived the holocaust. This is pure hate. I dont see this as vandalism. I just see this as pure hatred. How could people do this. Present to witness the destruction then seeing it, seeing the tombstones of family members that were crushed and to come and see this in america i never thought that would happen. Reporter now, along with finding the people responsible part of the investigation is also to find out what the motive is, if this cemetery was targeted because it is a Jewish Cemetery or if it was picked at random. As for the volunteers, we are told that all of those slots are full. There is a rally on thursday at noon that the Jewish Federation is urging everyone to come to. Also they say for the work that is done here for the volunteers, its mostly cleaning up leaves. They do want to make sure that people are safe, that theyre not lifting those tombstones.

Thanks maribel. Some of the rain starting to move across pennsylvania. Yeah well get morning showers maybe a rumble of thunder this morning but then some strong thunderstorms possible in a couple of spots this afternoon. Storm tracker6 live double scan right now shows you that we are moistening things up on the other side of harrisburg. Before the end of the morning commute some of us will probably see some of that rain. As we take a look outside we have cloudy skies for the most part a bit of patchy around the region including the the airport. Looks like a couple of those big what are those British Airways planes maybe lining up getting ready to cross the pond to england . Well see about that. Might be american. Im not sure. Anyway weve got temperatures that are going to treat you nicely on the way out the door this morning. 57 degrees in philadelphia. In fact most of the area in the mid to upper 50s. Away from the shore and even there youre close to 50. In terms of rain a morning shower or a rumble of thunder possible. It looks like most of this wants to track toward the northern suburbs. If you do hear a rumble of thunder this morning, i dont think this morning are the severe thunderstorms. Lightning is always a possibility so be careful of that when those storms are passing through but thats not really the big impact. If you have things to get done today, you can probably get them done by like noon, 1 00, 2 oclock. After we get past about two or 2 30 were on the lookout for this thunderstorm line to begin to develop. Karen was commenting on how thin it seems. Its not the kind of thing that is necessarily going to impact you for a long period of time but as it comes through for about 30 to 45 minutes you have an issue with gusts out ahead of this storm, heavy pounding rain, lots of lightning as it comes through and then even behind it you can get some jumpback lightning so maybe 45 to 60 minutes is what you have to plan to sort of slow down and just hold steady. If this does come through with this timing it would begin close to philadelphia around the time kids are coming home from school and ive been telling parents to let the kids know, you know what if you have to walk home from school and theres a thunderstorm on top of you just stay in the building for a half hour and let it pass. By 4 30 or 5 oclock looks like most of this is over towards the coast. By the time we head into the rush hour its mostly over. I cant vouch for that timing, though. It depend on how quick the front comes through. Hopefully were beginning to dry out by 6 oclock and then in the overnight hours a couple more showers possible. Up in allentown, were going for a high of 71 today, ahead of all of this, clouds, some sun. The more sun you break out ahead of the storms by the way the better chance you have of a thunderstorm. If you stay cloudy most of the day, your area may just get some rain. Down the shore, clouds, some sun, a thunderstorm chance there as well late today, 65 is the high and 74 is your highly in philadelphia with clouds, some sun, a thunderstorm chance is possible and then after that storm system gets off the coast we start to cool down. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, 74 today twarm conditions out there with that strong thunderstorm potentially in some areas later this afternoon. Take cover indoors on the lower floors as those pass through. And then windy and cooler tomorrow, 49 and all the way down to 42 on friday with a passing rain or t snow shower. And then saturday sunny and chilly, 44. Back to 52 on sunday with maybe a morning shower and were back up into the low 60s on monday and tuesday as we just cant seem to get a big crush of cold air to stick around very long. Darn.

How are the roads shaping up right now, karen . Why always the schuylkill having the problems . Thats a great question. Now weve got two problems in the same spot. So theres an accident right here. This is all westbound on the schuylkill at university avenue. An accident blocking the left lane. Weve got police and emergency workers there. Also one at the end of the ramp and it looks like this car is kind of facing sideways. Look how everybody is jammed. They have to try to merge. Up here theyre jammed because one of the lanes is blocked. Schuylkill westbound at university, two accidents, two separate accidents and were jammed from past passyunk to university on the schuylkill expressway. Lets look at the big picture right now and you can see those speeds because of those two accidents, 7 miles an hour at this hour. You know thats a real jam on the schuylkill westbound. Starting to slow down on i95, 23 miles an hour southbound near girard. The rest of the schuylkill is looking okay at this point. Chester county a report of an accident coming in here as well. This is new on the 30 bypass eastbound approaching 340, so expect isnt delays there. Also an accident thats new in limerick on louis road at limerick road. I want to take you live to cape may. Take a look at the fog. Were seeing it here on the garden state parkway at the cape may toll plaza. Foggy right there. Were not seeing that fog in the city. We have five mile visibility right now at philadelphia. Look at this, 9mile visibility in wilmington. The fog was so bad there we were less than a mile a little earlier but it is still less than a mile in millville, 3 miles in Atlantic City so the fog is a problem in parts of the region. The other big problem these storms that are headed our way. Well get some showers coming late this morning and then another round to could be strong to severe later in the afternoon, matt. We will take cover. Thanks karen. A police chase in louisiana ended like a scene out of a movie. Cell phone video here shows that pickup truck going down an embankment and then airborne.

Karen is watching bad behavior on the roads once again and david is looking out for those storms. Yeah, might be some bad behavior by Mother Nature later today. Lets start you with the severe risk for afternoon thunderstorms. Its covering the entire area. This out from the Storm Prediction Center and its a moderate risk out to the west of lancaster where you see that orange creeping in. Sometimes these things evolve and change ahead of storms so the bottom line is if any storms do form this afternoon they could have the potential for strong gusty winds frequent lightning maybe some hail and an isolated chance of a tornado somewhere in that wide yellow area from new york down to virginia so take cover from any storms that form. Satellite shows you that theres a lot of cloud cover this morning. Also we do have some showers and maybe a rumble of thunder coming in this morning but the bigger issue will be later this afternoon with those more powerful thunderstorms. Visibility a little bit of an issue. Weve had some patchy fog. It looks like most of it is down south and out to the west. If you encounter that slow down. Temperatures are on the mild side. A light jacket will do this morning with numbers in the mid to upper 50s across most of the region. Not much wind, just a little breezy and as we go through the day ahead of this stormy activity later on it is going to be mild. 58 degrees by 7 oclock. 70 as soon as noon. And then 3 oclock 74. But any time after about 2 oclock or 3 oclock out in the northern and western suburbs well be on the lookout for those sorms forming. It will be a thin line that doesnt take that long to pass any given area but as it comes through look for gusty winds and those other issues i talked about.

President trump addressed a joint session of congress for the first time. He brought up many old promises but talked about them with a new more positive tone. And this shift from his more confrontational past included a call to come together. However as expected most of the president s pitches were only received warmly by half of the room. The president repeated his Campaign Pledge to make a 1 trilliondollar investment in infrastructure. He focused a lot on immigration referencing building a wall between the u. S. And mexico and announcing a new office called voice focused on victims of crimes by immigrants. The president also and pushed forward with his plans to repeal the Affordable Care act. Mandating every american to buy government approved Health Insurance was never the right solution for our country. One of the most emotional moments came when President Trump praised Corinne Owens the widow of senior chief ryan owens received a round of applause as tears streamed down her face. Chief owens was the First Service member kilin action during the trump administration. Ryans legacy is etched into eternity. Thank you. [applause] in contrast owens father has been critical of the president s actions. President trump also vowed to abolish radical islamic terrorism and keep attackers out of the country.

Our Monica Malpass was in washington for the address to congress. She spoke to local lawmakers for their reactions right after the speech and filed this report. Reporter reaction to the president s speech was swift and strong. We got a chance to talk to some of our local delegates on both sides of the aisle. Democrats criticized the speech for being short on details. He was speaking out of one side of his mouth while at the same time we in congress are having an entirely different experience. And so the contradiction about between what he says and what weve been seeing from his administration is quite striking and quite offensive. What i really hope now is that all of us, my party, the republican party, and the Democratic Party does commit ourselves to working together and finding solutions to the issues that face us and if we do, then i think we can cause our country to continue to rise. We were really hoping for a speech that would unite america bring democrats and republicans together to focus on jobs and education. What we heard quite frankly is much of what we heard during the campaign, things that he wants to do but no real plan to do it. We heard some details tonight on some issues. Wooer go together need a heck of a lot more detail, t from his budgete presented in probablyhe month or so. Reporter now democrats say theyll look forward to next months budget when he presents details on how he plans to pay for all the lofty goals. Im Monica Malpass, channel6 action news from washington.

Its because of not one, not two but three different accidents on the schuylkill westbound and so weve got one of them right here in the process of clearing. We could see a tractortrailer thats off to the side. Another one right here. So thats in the process of clearing out of there but the schuylkill westbound at university really jammed. Here are two more accidents on the schuylkill. So, we see one right here blocking the left lane. All westbound Near University. Another one at the end of the onramp here so two accidents here, a third one involving a tractortrailer also in the process of clearing out there right now but youre really jammed on the schuylkill traveling about 2 miles an hour here as you head Near University so watch for that accident.

Brand new here at 6 30 we are are at the big board with the incredible story of a woman from Schuylkill County pa who lost nearly 200 pounds in one day. Mary clancy was not on a miracle diet. She did not undergo lap band surgery. Surgeons removed a gigantic cyst from her midsection. That is it right there. Doctors estimate it had been growing for the past 16 years. All this time clancy struggled with her weight. Never understood why she was so heavy. She developed blood clots in her legs in november and that is when doctors made the discovery. But i was so shocked when they told me. I just first thing i thought with Sigourney Weaver with the alienments i was scared, like four days after that surgery, it is the funniest feeling, i just felt i cant even describe it. I felt like something was empty, like my whole body just didnt feel right. I guess i was so used to carrying that weight that i felt totally different. Once doctors removed the tumor and excess skin clancys weight dropped from more than 350 pounds to just a shade under 150. At 71 years old she looks im not going to show this to you anymore. I know youre sick of it. [laughter] at 71 years old, she looks forward to gardening this spring and showing off her curvy figure. How about that. Thats the ends of the story. Thats it.

Oh he says youre not leaving me in here while the o was out running errands. Fortunately for firefighters maverick is friendly and promptly followed their orders to boy, get back inside. Good dog. Im still on the cyst though. Me, too. For the next 24 hours. Seeing it in my nightmares. Storm tracker6 live double scan in the meantime says we have a little bit of rain beginning to pop up to the west and there are some indications that theres some lightning out there, too. We talked about how there could be a rumble of thunder passing through later this morning. The severe thunderstorms however are probably going to hold off until the afternoon. As we take a look outside we have sky6 and there is some patchy fog and low lying cloud cover ahead of this rain thats moving in this morning and you can see that clearly over the ben franklin bridge. Temperatures are mild as you step outside, though. 57 degrees in philadelphia and thats pretty typical of numbers across most of the area. Its a little bit cooler in the poconos and a little cooler down by the shore. Winds are southwest at 12 miles an hour. It breezy. Rai. You can see a little thunderstorm starting to pop up there and it looks like that will pass through during the morning and then in the afternoon hours well be on the lookout for another round of rain and that one could feature some stronger thunderstorms. As for this first batch of rain does look like between now and 9 oclock it could be coming in through the north and again some thunderstorms are possible probably not severe but any thunderstorm can produce lightning. So you still need to take cover and treat it with respect. By 12 oclock it looks like were into a lull. If you have stuff to get done probably 11 00, 12 00, 1 00, maybe even 2 00 is fine across most of the region much after we get into the 2 00 and 2 30 period theres a chance in the northern and western suburbs that we start seeing that next line coming through. It doesnt look all that much just a little thin line of heavy rain and thunderstorms but it will pack some gusty winds out ahead of it and while that heavy rain is coming through, lots of lightning, maybe a little hail from some of these thunderstorms and somewhere across the midatlantic region there could even be a tornado that pops up. Cant guarantee that. As this is coming through take cover on the lower floors. If your kids are making that walk home from school, they might want to hang out in school for a half hour 45 minutes and let the storm go through. By 4 30 or 5 oclock it looks like its down the by the coast and then gets off the coast. The timing on these models does change a little bit and ive got to allow for something still popping in parts of the region as late as 6 oclock or 7 oclock. The latest indications is that this is mainly a mid to afternoon event. A passing shower and possible later in the night. Here come the temperatures. Theyll be warm today. 70 by noon, a high of 74 just two off the record but then those storms come through and we do cool down overnight. Your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast shows a high of 74 today, close to a record. And again those thunderstorms for a time this afternoon and we take cover from those. Then windy and cooler on thursday with a high of just 49 and on friday only 42, feeling like probably the 30s both of the next two days and a rain or wet snow shower is possible as we move into friday. And then we start to warm up again over the weekend. Morning shower on sunday, 60s early next week. You know i cant imagine what traffics going to be like when we get those storms later today because its a mess already. Yeah, so, you know weve been talking about three accidents on the schuylkill. Now weve got a fourth accident in the backlog. This is the ramp from 26th street northbound to the schuylkill westbound. The schuylkill is a mess.
