Switching gears, springtime means housing markets pick back up but this year some buyers are running into one big problem. Maribel aber is live at the nasdaq in times square. Maribel sounds like it means its a seller is market. It is. Its getting tough to find a home in some parts of the u. S.

Thats the latest in business. Back to you. Thanks maribel. The weather is not looking too bad today. Looking great. Kind of a repeat of yesterday. Little bit better in fact. Storm tracker6 live double scan right now shows us that we are dry across the region which is good news and the as we take a look outside we have sky6, sun coming up nice and bright once and again this morning beyond the Commodore Barry bridge and its not quite as chilly as it was yesterday morning in most neighborhoods as well. 56 degrees currently in philadelphia. About the only spot thats slipped into the 40s is allentown and you actually made it into the upper 30s yesterday so everybody feeling a little better today. Winds are still on the light side and weve got plenty of sunshine early and some high clouds out to the west that might try and filter in as the day goes on but like yesterday, i think were going to maintain fairly bright conditions from start to finish. Lehigh valleys forecast, how about 84 for a high, lots of sun, very warm up in the Lehigh Valley area. At the shore, better than yesterday, a little cooler with a high of 76 degrees but yesterday in most cases down the shore outer you were stuck n the mid to upper 60s. An improvement today. In philadelphia a high of 84. If we hit that, that will tie the existing record set way back in 1887. Lots of sun, very warm, winds out of the southwest at about eight to 16 Miles Per Hour in general, not bad. For the phillies and mets tonight at Citizens Bank park another beautiful night for baseball. 78 for the first pitch. We may get down to about 69 as youre walking back to the car and the lot afterwards so maybe you bring along an extra jacket or layer to throw on later in the game if it starts to cool down but really a nice night especially for april. And then overnight we stay mild. Getting down to 59 degrees for an overnight low. Winds remaining relatively light. There will be more clouds building in and we expect mainly dry conditions overnight. Then tomorrow morning after the rush hour in particular, there is the chance of a spotty shower around. That could go into the early afternoon. Otherwise we get some late day sun back and a high of 74. Not bad. In terms of the showers, this is the latest future tracker6 model and it shows that you were mainly dry during the morning commute. By 10 00 or 10 30 a cluster of showers comes in from the west and this model run actually has those showers still trying to push to the east of south jersey by 3 oclock in the afternoon or so. I think they might actually get over to the east a little bit faster and in any event any rain you see tomorrow is pretty light and pretty just nuisance stuff. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, 84, lots of sun today. Tomorrow clouds, probable physical in the morning. You might see some sunny breaks but as that shower activity comes through, youll have a cloudy period of the day and then we think that sun comes back later in the day, still mild a high of 74. Lots of sun on thursday. More seasonable with your High Temperature around 67 and then good friday 65 degrees, partly sunny there. Little cool for the union at night but a decent night for soccer at talen energy stadium. Saturday sun mixing with clouds very nice for the beginning of the weekend 68 degrees there. And on sunday clouds mixing with some sun for easter. Were bumping that high up to 78 degrees but at the same time keep in mind there could be a spotty shower or even a popup thunderstorm in the afternoon. Not a washout, though. And then monday youre back to the sun. Oh, love it. Thank you. [laughter] well, you have seen this shocking video of a passenger being pulled off a plane. Its still trending on social media this morning. Now the ceo of United Airlines is coming under fire after what he told employees. Also, tesla hits a major milestone.
