Expert say millions of dollars were lost, three companies were in a technological stand still after computer glitches. Bizarre cyber problems yesterday had security analysts worried today. Fox 29s jenny joyce live in center sit with more on these concerns hi, jenny. Hi, lauren, chris. The feds are saying that the New York Stock Exchange and the United Airlines outages are a mere coincidence. How much, some people have other thoughts at this point. Were also hearing the wall street journal outage was possibly because of high traffic, as a result of the New York Stock Exchanges outage. After the Exchange Went off line, that happened around 11 32, it remained off until about 3 00 in the afternoon the New York Stock Exchange denied there was a problem in anyway related to Security Breach of its Computer Systems and tweeted that the issues were caused by internal issues. Regardless, millions of dollars were lost earlier in the morning United Airlines computer glitch caused all flight to be grounded and result in the delays and confusion at airports across the country. The system was back on line within a few hours then third outage the wall street journals website crashedment many fear detective was result of cyber attack, but the feds say it was all due to computer problems. Pennsylvania congressman, and homeland zest unity House Committee member pat meehan talked with us, agrees it was a massive technical difficulty. Regardless Cyber Security he can perth we talked to say thee events should make us think about safeguarding our information. See the Stock Exchange in the world, this is one of the most prestigious business newspapers, this is the Largest National airline, so you see these happen one after the other all today seems a little suspicious. The first suspicion when you see throw things timed together like that, is that you have concerns that there could be some kind of action. You have plausible explanations, they may very well ends up being exactly that. And the fourhour pause at the New York Stock Exchange was the biggest stoppage to us trading in two years. So it makes sense why it sparked fear. Some expert say it is hard at times to detect a clear source when you have certain issues like this, chris lauren . You understand the New York Stock Exchange had to scramble.

All right meantime, here is a look at some rain moving through the area. Right now dont walk out the door without that umbrella this morning because, in some cases, it is light rain, but in a few others, weve got couple of heavy downpours that are popping up here and there. So talking western Chester County northern Montgomery County, and the Lehigh Valley, at the moment. But this continues to progress. So, as we look at the future cast, we see through about seven, 8 00 we have the possibility of some rain, and if youre driving along, could you run into the heavy downpour and drive right out of it pretty quickly. Thats how thats moving through. So by about 10 00 that round is out of here. And then we get break. We get some sunshine, we get chance to be very hot humid today, close to 90, probably about 88, 90 degrees today. Heat index much hotter. So thats about 4 00. And watch 5 00 when you see some really strong thunderstorms, with heavy downpours, starting to move through, Lancaster Berks county by 7 00 theyre here in the philadelphia area. With our suburbs and then, by 9 00 10 00 theyre at the shore. And then everything moves off shore. Few leftovers, behind this low pressure system, thats going to come through, touch off all of these thunderstorms, we could definitely have some weather drama later on in the day. Right now though in our suburbs, we have cool off little bit from yesterday into the 60s, we have 69 degrees in pottstown, allentown 68 64 in mount pocono, but we are very muggy 77 in the city. Fiftyseven in wildwood. 75 degrees in wilmington, as well. Wind speeds, theyre not helping. Theyre not much. Only 3 miles an hour in philadelphia. Less than that, elsewhere. And the winds when do you get one, out of the humid southwest. So after 89d degrees yesterday, doesnt lock like this will be a heatwave. Unless we start with 90 today and keep going but i think our chance of heatwave actually happening would start on sunday with the high of 92, and then, maybe three days in a row of 90 degrees, or above. But we can promise you some 990s in the seven day forecast. Also, it looks like, we will have one daybreak from humidity and that would be tomorrow, on friday, and how convenient, bob kelly because we are going to lbi tomorrow. Yes, you are.
