Im meteorologist erika martin and right now its looking really lovely outside. A break in those clouds, lots of sunshine throughout the day, but clouds redeveloping later this afternoon through tomorrow. Current temperatures 71 degrees, northwesterlies locally 6 miles per hour, but i do expect some breezy conditions for some, 10 to 15 mile per hour wind speeds picking up to about 15 to 20 miles per hour. So a little breezy today but Getting Better by tonight. Right now for the most part a little cooler for the suburbs, 63 degrees. So notice those clouds still there. So that icon pretty much wont go away today simply because i dont think it will be a completely sunny day, we do have those clouds redeveloping later today into tomorrow. Todays highs topping out mainly in the upper 70s along the shoreline, low 80s, not the warmest day on tap. It doesnt look like we will see 90s at least until the following wednesday. Included in our weather stories we do have that frontal boundary which is why those northwesterlies are kicking up, those clouds developing and it looks like a spot shower possible, especially later tomorrow afternoon. Of course, following the weather for monday it looks like a low pressure system will likely move right over the area so more information on that on social media. Very quickly i would put future cast into motion. I will pause this at 1 00 p. M. , we start to see those clouds start to develop and the possibility of showers by tomorrow. Details in just a bit. Back to you, george. Erika, thank you. An accident on the garden state parkway in monmouth count kwlee killed two people and several other people are hurt. 14 people were in a van traveling on rain slicked highways in who willholmdel whe van crashed and rolled over last night. Its not clear if the wet roads play a part in the accident but their investigation is continuing. It is day two of the strike at the trump taj mahal casino in new jersey. The main Sticking Point is the unions demand that healthcare and Pension Plans terminated in Bankruptcy Court be 4 . nrestore. C br icahn has offered to restore healthcare but not at a level acceptable to the union.

Plus the main reason that experts are expecting a Record Number of people on the roads for this Holiday Weekend. And the time of day you should avoid driving. We are following a developing story overseas in bangladesh. Officials say 20 hostages have been killed in a terror attack at a restaurant. Military commandos killed six of the militant attackers and another gunman is in custody. What you heard right there is the volley of gunfire after the shooters attacked that restaurant yesterday and took dozens of hostages. Witnesses also heard two large explosions. The attack left two Police Officers dead. Crews rescued 13 of the hostages. An Army Official says the cafe was cleared 12 hours after that siege began and isis has already claimed responsibility for the attack. Now to decision 2016. Hillary clinton plans to use a visit to Atlantic City on wednesday. The democratic president ial candidate is expected to0dizy u that visit to attack her republican rival donald trump. Clinton says trumps casino bankruptcies created a wave of destruction in the resort town. Meanwhile, clinton could be interviewed as soon as today by the fbi about her use of a private emailr server when she was secretary of state. It comes as attorney general Loretta Lynch tries to quiet a firestorm over a private meeting with former president bill clinton on board her plane in phoenix. Legal experts say bill clinton should never have been talking to someone with power over his wifes investigation. And lynch now admits it was a big mistake. Most important thing for me as the attorney general is the integrity of this department of justice and the fact that the meeting that i had is now casting a shadow over how people are going to view that work is something that i take seriously and deeply and painfully. Now, lynch says that meeting was just a social chat, but donald trump sees it as improper. Just happened to be at the airport at this time. Think of it, just happened to be at the airport. When i first heard the story i said, no, no, youre kidding. I dont believe t i thought somebody was joking. Now some have called for lynch to recuse herself from the email investigation. She says she will accept recommendations from the fbi director and from career prosecutors. When it comes to deciding clintons case, even if that means criminal charges against the democratic candidate. And tomorrow on meet the press, isis, terror, and the 2016 campaign. Chuck todd will talk to two men who may be on the vp short list for the candidates. That is right here on nbc 10 at 10 30 tomorrow morning. Good morning. Im meteorologist erika martin and a look outside. Sunshine to say the least, thats what i thought id title this. Lots of sunshine already peeking on through. A break in those clouds, although we do have clouds redeveloping later this afternoon. Were going to go ahead and enjoy. In fact, this happens to be my pick of this Holiday Weekend. If you look at the bottom of your screen you will see your local neighborhood forecast and of course you can always follow us on twitter and on facebook. So a Wider Perspective here, a little action going on out west, there is a low pressure system wreaking havoc across parts of oklahoma. However, locally we do have that cold front thats well offshore. So notice that frontal boundary not doing much right now, though, showers are well offshore, however, we do have a low pressure system that will start to develop over the Tennessee Valley and it looks like the cold front will start to once it continues to work its way eastward will eventually lead the way for that High Pressure system to stay in control, although i do think low pressure system will eventually win out and bring us some showers. A little bit of a battle there. Current wind profile notice northwesterlies a little bit stronger further inland. Shoring seeing 2 to 5 mile per hour wind speeds, some seeing 7 mile per hour wind speeds. Its just that its a little cooler because it is a cold front. Otherwise the next 12 hours pan out nicely, were seeing lots of upper 70s a few low to mid 80s not the warmest day for today. In fact, we will stay in the 80s until tuesday and warm up nicely by wednesday. Looks like we will see 90s on wednesday and thursday and friday. A live look outside, north wildwood, not much going on right there. Future cast, we start this at 6 00 a. M. I want to show you what to expect as the day unfolds. Notice those clouds working their way in from the southwest toward the northeast. By tomorrow morning we are seeing plenty of clouds in the forecast and even though a lot of it does stay to the south notice that we start to see a couple of isolated showers moving on through. So not going to be an unsettled messy day, however, its not going to be a completely sunny day, not a completely dry day in the forecast. So the big next story would happen to be what to expect for the fourth of july and i do have overcast skies here, however, id like to add that the euro and gfs and canadian model are favoring this low pressure system to move right over the area so thats something to keep in mind and of course check back with us often because we do have that information updated throughout the day. I will see you in just a bit. Back to you. Erika, thank you. An extra day off of work and low gas prices have analysts predicting record travel during the Holiday Weekend.
