A little bit warmer through the afternoon, too. But the humidity is at a comfortable level. Its not very muggy outside. Also dont forget, with our new neighborhood weather, your sevenday forecast is always at the bottom of the screen for you. Temperatures right now are warming up quickly. Its already 81 degrees in philadelphia. Much of our pennsylvania subu suburbs, as well as our new jersey neighborhoods coming in at 80 degrees. Even through the Lehigh Valley and delaware. So everyone is warming up nicely. Through the afternoon, expect mid to upper 80s. High temperatures staying sunny, with temperatures in some cases could be close to 90 degrees for some spots. Delaware right around 87 degrees this afternoon. So a beautiful, sunny day today. But what were watching is some rain back off to our west. Some of that will be moving as we go into tomorrow. So we have the chance for thunderstorms in our friday forecast. So if youre starting our fourth of july weekend early, were talking about thunderstorms around from possibly the Morning Hours through the afternoon and evening. But coming up, ill show you the timing of that, and of course your detailed look at your fourth of july weekend forecast, no matter where youre heading. Thats straight ahead. See you later, sheena. Happening today, history could be made for drivers in new jersey. The state is close to adopting a 23 per cent tax hike. Nbcs katy zachary breaks it xa mf involved. Reporter there are some gradual savings built into this plan, but thats not what most of the drivers weve spoken to this morning are focused on. Their biggest concern is paying a few dollars more each time they fill up. Governor Chris Christie is the bills biggest cheerleader. H he successfully persuaded the state assembly to pass it earlier this week. The proposed 23 cents per gallon tax would help the states struggling Transportation Trust fund, to repair roads and bridges. It would also gradually lower the states sales tax to 6 , which hasnt been done in decades. If you have a 20gallon tank, which most large suvs have, youll pay more than 4 extra, each time you fill up. People that work ear, like i do, like everybody coming from philly, just to jersey or delaware to get their gas, were going to lose that. There has been some resistance from senate democrats. Some Top Democrats say they fear scaling back the states sales tax would leave a gaping hole in the states general fund of about 1. 2 billion, which they say would directly affect tension and obligations. Katy zachary, nbc 10 news. And new information. Three of five casinos where workers were threatening to strike this Holiday Weekend have reached a deal. Local 54 of the unite here union said just a few hours ago that it has a new deal with three casinos. Bhallas, cesars, and harrahs. Talks remain underway with the tropicana and the trump taj mahal. The last casino strike in Atlantic City was back in 2004. Workers at two casinos could still strike tomorrow if a deal is not reached. The union wants a return of concessions they gave to casinos in past contracts when the finances were shakier. The casinos say they want a deal thats fair to both sides. And this morning, the family of a 13yearold killed yesterday wants to know where he and his friends got the gun that they were playing with. Police are calling it an accidental shooting. They say a group of teenagers was playing with a gun when it went off and hit the 13yearold in the head. They did find the gun nearby. Neighbors were there when the gun went off and watched as the teens father rushed over to see what happened. I ran back there and i seen them back there. And i went to go get his dad. His dad tried to pick him up. It was gory. This child didnt even get a chance to realize his dreams. Police tell us the person who wasc holding the gun when it wt off was 17. Police havent arrested or charged anyone. We have an update on the investigation into the stabbing of a camden cab driver that we first told you about yesterday morning. Police are still searching for the suspect seen here, climbing out of juan fortunas cab. Police say the cabbie had just crashed into a parked van in order to get attention as he was being stabbed several times in the shoulder.

He is scheduled to be sentenced today and could get up to 35 years in prison. Time now for a check on the roads with nbc 10 first alert traffic reporter, jessica boyington. Wheres your focus . Were starting off in center city on the vine street expressway. Its actually where were seeing some of the most delays right now. And headed westbound and eastbound pretty much looks the same, but typically we see more of a delay in volume headed towards the schuylkill expressway. As westbound lanes right here or 30th street station. You can see a little bit of delays there. We had an earlier accident on 242 that was around trooper road. We were seeing big delays headed eastbound, but just cleared about the last 20 minutes or so. Now were back down to normal. Nine minutes here eastbound from 29 to the schuylkill expressway. Were also watching some construction on kelly drive, eastbound, right around falls bridge. Thats reduced to one lane. And right now, backed up to lincoln drive. So youll see some delays there, but youll get through with the one lane. Maybe if youre headed down the shore, the 42 freeway, around the Atlantic City expressway. Here is the 42 expressway headed southbound approaching the expressway. No problems heading down the shore. If youre in or out of philadelphia, you may see some construction over the bridge, as we have the right lane closed, headed westbound over the wall. And two lanes closed headed westbound into philly over the bend. Youll see some delays there, vai. All right, thank you, jessica.

Johnson says hell give support to the next administration. To make sure that we properly fulfill the mandate of the people, who were delivered at the referendum, and to champion the agenda i believe in. To stick up for the forgotten people of this country. Now that johnsons name has been taken off the list of frontrunners in the race for Prime Minister are justice secretary michael goal and home secretary teresa may. And a wildfire is spreading quickly in idaho. It started overnight in an area called table rock in boise. Thec winds made it difficult f firefighters to fight these flames. No mandatory evacuations have been put in place, but nearby residents are being asked to leave. No word yet on what sparked this fire. Delaware officials are warning swimmers about high levels of bacteria in the water at Bethany Beach and dewey beach. The beaches are still open. The department of Natural Resources and environmental controls say the elevated bacteria are due to increased rainfall. There was a similar advisory for Rehoboth Beach last week, but it was lifted after the bacteria levels fell.

We could already see some widespread showers and storms across the area, lasting through the evening, and there is a chance by 7 00 p. M. , we could see a line of storms from the Lehigh Valley down through washington, d. C. Some of these could start to organize ac bit, so between 7 and 10 00 p.
