Region and dewpoints are still running kind of high, about 71 in philadelphia but we expect that number to drop as we go through the day as drier air comes in from the north and west. Guys todays high is going to be 95 degrees but its not going to feel as humid as we go into the afternoon so thats good and the exclusive accuweather 7day karen in a couple of minutes well talk more about tomorrow also being a little more manageable and then a rise in humidity heading later into the week. All of that coming up from accuweather. All right, dave, were starting to see a little more volume as you travel through these Police Checks pointsly i want to show you live right here, this is i95 at exit for the platt bridge and the schuylkill so here are police, you see the checkpoint blocking the left lane and the shoulder on i95. Also restricting traffic right here as theyre kind of forcing any vehicles that are over 5 tons, theyre not allowing them to continue on i95 northbound forcing them off towards the blab and the schuylkill so its creating delays on 95, creating delays on the schuylkill. Its just been a big mess yesterday. We anticipate that at a. Starting to see a little more volume right here. Lets show you those checkpoints and talk about some of the volume. Look at the 12 miles an hour approaching this checkpoint on i95 as you come southbound near the vine. This is that area theyre not allowing those vehicles over 5 tons and were already seeing thats backing up already on i95 southbound from allegheny to girard so youll wander to expect those delays as the morning progresses. We have a couple other problems here like an accident in lansdale. This is new just coming up, main street at squirrel lane. Also downed wires, with the storms we had yesterday, right, downed wires, downed trees in some spots. This one in bristol bucks county bristol street at radcliff street. Police are waiting for peco to arrive. Stick to pine street and pond road as your alternates. Back to tamala. Thank you karen. They call her the closer, the one who can make the case and bring down the house and last night that is exactly what Michelle Obama did here forcefully telling the nation that Hillary Clinton is their best choice. The room was a sea of purple as people waved signs saying michelle. Mrs. Obama talked about Hillary Clintons passion and sense of public duty not to mention her tenacity. She called clinton the only person truly qualified to be president. Hillary did not hillary did not pack up and go home because as a true Public Servant hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments. The first lady framed her speech around americas children and their future and says hillarys commitment to them is unmatched. Bernie sanders struck a more somber tone focusing on whats wrong with the nation and the reasons he believes clinton is the best candidate to fix it. In these stressful times for our country, the selection must be about bringing our people together, not dividing us up. While donald trump is insulting one group after another, Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Sanders also said the election is about the future and what it means for our children and grandchildren. His supporters certainly showed their love for him. They stood for nearly three minutes straight before he even began speaking. As you might imagine donald trump did not sit out the night quietly. As he is want to do he took to twitter after Bernie Sanders delivered this speech calling for the Democratic Party to unify around Hillary Clinton. Trump accused sanders of selling out tweeting sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution. We will welcome all voters who want to fix a rigged system and bring back our jobs. Trump also took aim at new jersey senator cory booker. Booker had a star turn with an electrifying speech that railed on trump painting him as a hateful bully telling the crowd let us declare that in america love always trumps hate. Trump quickly responded tweeting if cory booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have no future. I know more about corey than he knows about himself. Not really clear what that last line meant. But despite sanders call for unity not everybody is standing with Hillary Clinton. Many of his supporters have taken to the streets and theyre also other supporter out there for other causes so lets go over to action News ReporterJeanette Reyes live in fdr park in south philadelphia with more on that angle of the story. Good morning, jeanette. Reporter goo good morning, to you, tam. Protestors actually camped out t at fdr park. I want to give you a live look at whats going on here. You can see the event medics here and paramedics are actually out here. You cant see them too well but theyve been out all night. Theyre going to be switching shifts in just a few moments here and then over to the far right, just beyond where the medics are, thats where the protestors are, most of them probably sleeping around this time but the weather will hopefully be a little more forgiving to them today. Yesterday take a look at these images, heavy rain showers hampered early events. The temperatures climbed peeking at a record breaking 109 degrees, that was the index temperature. It was pretty miserable for the hundreds of protestors from out of town who decided to camp out. The city and protest organizers worked independently of each other providing misting tents at various locations including fdr park and assembling medical teams to assist in any heat related emergencies. The weather may to be blame though for a lower turnout for a Bernie Sanders rally. They usually have some pretty big crowds. Demonstrators walked across the ben franklin bridge in hopes of shutting it down but they didnt have enough people to do that. Its hot. Were feeling the bern. Were feeling the bern. So far its going okay. I mean, its very hot out here. Not as many people as it was out here yesterday with this group, but very humid, very hot, so were worried about everybody out here. Reporter and i was just talking to one of the paramedics here. He tells me that its been okay in terms of heat related emergencies. They havent had too many issues with that as far as the protests. Police are saying those have been fairly peaceful. Well see some of the more controversial ones today. Gun control, one for trump and another against Police Brutality so well see how that turns out. Well have live coverage of that throughout the day. Reporting live at fdr park, Jeanette Reyes, channel6 action news. Tam. Jeanette, thank you for that. And philadelphias also getting a taste of hollywood as the celebs roll into town for the convention. Action News ReporterAnnie Mccormick is live on the floor of the Wells Fargo Center behind me here with more on that angle of the story. Good morning, annie. Reporter good morning, tam. Thats right, i look up, i see you right there. Well, here on the stage last night there were a number of acts. Take a look at this video. A number of philadelphia stars that hit the stage. You can see boyz ii men there, they kicked off the convention yesterday. Also demi lovato performed her song confident after she did address the crowd talking about Mental Illness. Now, abcs how to get away with murder star Kendrick Samson told action news this is his first convention. He sat near Susan Sarandon, the famous actress who is also a passionate activist and a Bernie Sanders supporter. Well, paul simon left retirement to take the stage singing bridge over troubled water right there and Sara Silverman and al franken also took to the stage.

He was out there on stage last night also. Remember he sang for the pope last minute. He sang the National Anthem and also dont just look for the stars out here on the floor of the convention. You heard jeanette talking about a number of those protestors. Keep your eye out. I hear there will be several stars joining protestors as well. Reporting live from the Convention FloorAnnie Mccormick channel6 action news. Tam back to you. Thank you. You can count for the entire team to bring you complete coverage of the dnc from gavel to gavel. More on what you can expect in just a bit. For now matt and nydia back to you. The folks still convinced that they held it in the tropics. Felt like the gulf coast certainly yesterday. Things are Getting Better today. They will still be hot but not as humid and of course the storms are in our rearview mirror. As he we take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan, you can see. That heading out on sky6, what do we have . The sun coming up over the ben franklin bridge and it looks like a sunny morning with perhaps the addition of high clouds as the day goes on. Might even pop a few cumulus as we get into the afternoon. 75 degrees in philadelphia currently, just 67 up in allentown. 73 in wilmington, 71 in trenton and 76 warm degrees in cape may. There are the watch boxes from those storms last night but thats all off the board. There you see the high cloud cover starting to mix in from the west but generally speaking a pretty bright day ahead. Up in the Lehigh Valley hot, 92 degrees but humidity already a lot lower than it was yesterday in points to the north and were going to continue to see that drop so it will be sunny hot but not as humid. Down the shore warm, no the quite as hot as it was yesterday, a high of 86 degrees and also less humid at the shore under partly sunny skies. Ocean temperature has dipped down to 66 so a little refreshing and cool as you step into the water. 95 is your high today in philadelphia which is still hot enough to require cool drinks and shady breaks but humid levels which are still kind of high right now will drop as we go through the morning and afternoon and this afternoon will not feel nearly as oppressive as yesterday felt so better for protestors or anybody else who is going to be outside get something stuff done. Out on the ton tonight, 91 degrees by 7 oclock but 89 by 8 oclock. Notice how were down to 80 by 11 oclock and then into the 70s after that. So if you are a conventioneer thank on a late night its going to be a much better evening out on the town tonight than last night. 75 is the overnight low. Toward morning it wont be as muggy, mid 70s and a pretty nice start to your wednesday. Again today were starting out rather humid with dewpoints still in the 70s from about philadelphia south but with dry air coming in from the northwest by noon it will feel better with that 67 and later in the afternoon all the way down to 64 which is just moderately humid so a little sticky today but not nearly as oppressive as yesterday. Your sevenday from accuweather 95 today, still hot, less humid. Cool drinks important. Tomorrow sunny and hot, 93. Humidity behaving itself. On thursday another 93degree high but with a cold front coming in the turn in the wind from the southwest ahead of that front will make us more humid and in the afternoon and evening there could be more thunderstorms firing up. That would be late thursday or thursday night. Some of that could spill into friday morning. Otherwise, still just warm and humid but warm and humid instead of hot and humid. Well get into the 80s and end our heat wave on friday. Thats the way things are looking now. For the weekend highs in the mid to upper 80s on saturday and sunday, maybe a spotty thunderstorm around but better this coming weekend than it was last weekend. Cant get much worse. David, thank you. 6 12 now. The toast of the town gets later. The citys hot spots are now dnc hangouts and well check out some of the late night parties that happened after you went to bed. Karen. The closure point already stopped broad street at pattison blocked of course for the dnc and already, already starting to jam up on i95. Ill take you there live when action news comes right back. Mother nature took a real swipe at the lehigh and Delaware Valleys once again. Heavy rains caused flooding in bensalem bucks county. Several cars an septa bus got stalled in the flas flash floodg beneath the overpass. No injuries reported. Were not seeing any problems with wet roads. Were seeing problems with downed trees and wires in some spots. Thats not what youre looking a this is a jam. Look at the traffic already at this hour. This is i95 southbound here and were watching this near girard avenue. You can see that southbound traffic really jammed at this point already from Bridge Street to the vine so can you see that theyve got the cones out here, penndot has the left lane blocked. This is because of the Police Checkpoint ahead and theyre not allowing any vehicles over 5 tons as you know to continues on i95 southbound between the vine and the platt bridge because of the dnc. We flu there was that restriction but prior to this we didnt really know they would have these checkpoints with lane restrictions. So thats whats causing these huge delays as you can see right here. We saw big problems with this yesterday and i think likely again today because look at the speeds right here. Youre only traveling about 8 miles an hour on i95 southbound Bridge Street to the vine. Its not quite as bad in Delaware County, i95 northbound approaching the check point near the platt bridge, about 26 miles. Earlier yesterday we saw this really backed up and also traveling in the Single Digits so this is some of prore blimps we anticipate happening soon. An accident in lansdale on main street at squirrel lane. Downed tree, downed wires. Heres a downed tree large road near sorrell road in lower moreland township. Fog not a widespread problem. Reading and lancaster. 3, 3mile visibility in allentown. Not so bad. No other weather related problems early this morning. Now we head over to Tamala Edwards live at the dnc. All right, thank you for that, karen. Now, some of philadelphias bars and restaurants are closing a little bit later this week due to the convention. Theyre hoping it will mean a boost to their bottom line. We caught up with some of the delegates out and about enjoying philadelphia night life. Lets hear about that and go to Katherine Scott at the le meridian. Good morning u good morning, tam. Lots going on this week some of them are informal gatherings, quite a few bars applied to stay opened until 4 00 a. M. So the delegates would have a place to go after the events wrapped up. The hotel bar insides le meridian is one of them thats opened late but then are the events, invitation only and quite possibly star studded events. Last night at the electric factory was the head count convention jam. Grace potter dawes and mutlu were there. 33 work with musicians to get young people engaged in politics and they had a great turnout last night. Over at Union Transfer, it was an invitation only clarity event. A fundraiser for musicians on call sponsored by the Recording Industry association of america. Philly native Dj Jazzy Jeff opened up the festivities was the headliner. Its getting hot in here seems very appropriate this week and the crowd loved it. Always a pleasure to watch the entire audience singing every song along with them because they know every word because theyre such fans and the audience was so engaged. It just reminds you all over again about the power of music and how important it is, how valuable it is. Reporter of course the week is still young. Theres plenty of parties for the Democratic Party on the horizon. We are live in center city, Katherine Scott, channel6 action news.
