good morning. >> not a lot of rain this morning but here on the terrace i'm standing in a low lying bank of cloud cover. the big rain is out to the west. this is slowly moving from the east over the last hour and a half it was just on the other side of harrisburg and now about halfway between harrisburg and redsing. there are some thunderstorms embedded in this. you can see the lightning flashing north of lancaster and out to the northwest of reading. down in chester county a couple of showers beginning to move in and this may fall apart as it pushes towards the east. during the rush hour we have a chance of it popping through. 70 degrees your temperature in philadelphia, cloudy maybe a little bit of mist on the windshield right now. as we go through the day 69 by 9 o'clock, by noon we're up into the mid 70's and your high today is 77 at 3 o'clock. clouds for the most part, some sunny breaks possible and less of a chance of rain overall during the day than what we've had the last couple of days but there is the chance avenue

"action news" reporter erin o'hearn is live at the big board and she's got more on the story. good morning, erin. good morning, tam. you can see when this truck moves away you're going to be able to see that limo bus they were in. it was just mangled. considering how serious this accident was, harris stanton is very lucky he escaped with a broken wrist and a bruised ankle. stanton says the wreck happened in an instant and because there was no back window to the limo bus, that he was in, he never saw that

tractor-trailer barreling towards them. kevin roper is due in court today. it has been reported that he hadn't slept in more than 24 hours. and in an exclusive interview stanton said one minute the group of friends were cracking jokes and the next minute they were being thrown around inside that limo bus. he said the impact of the crash made him feel like he was inside a metal box that was being crushed around him. stanton said comedian tracy morgue gun who remains hospitalized was unconscious after the limo bus was hit. >> it happened so fast and when it stopped, tracy was on top of me and i didn't see anyone else. just metal and i could see the stars from outside 'cause the top was ripped opened and i heard a driver cursing out the other driver and i was just saying, help me, get me out of here. i just was trying to get out. >> unfortunately comedian james mcnair did not survive the crash. kevin roper, the driver that

rear-ended the limo bus is due in court today. it's been reported that the driver hadn't slept in more than 24 hours. tam. >> all right, thank you, erin. new this morning, police are questioning a driver who lost control and smashed into three parked cars. it happened on the 4800 block of roosevelt boulevard in northeast philadelphia just before 3 o'clock in the morning. the driver was not seriously injured. >> this is a brand new update at 6:00 a.m. a lehigh valley mother plans to plead guilty over a happy hour that took a sobering turn. prosecutors say lisa altif left her baby alone in a cold car while she sat in a bethlehem township bar drinking wine back in march. the infant was strapped inside a minivan for nearly five hours with no formula or fresh diapers. altif plans to accept a misdemeanor charge of child endangerment. >> it's six:05. and the city of trenton has a new mayor. eric jackson won in last night's election by a 12 percent margin. after campaigning against paul

little brief heavy shower out of that as it pushes toward the east and if we go farther up the pike toward reading, for now reading has nothing more than just a little light sprinkle officer shower around but this is the line heading in your direction and there is some lightning right now associated with this out by lancaster county. as this pushes towards the east it may fall apart but at the same time we have to allow for some of this to make it in and again it is on the move ever so slowly from the west. as we take a look outside we have cloudy skies in place over philadelphia. in fact the clouds are low enough where they might be producing a little bit of mist on your windshield this morning in some spots. i just had that out on the terrace a couple moments ago. 70 degrees in philadelphia, same thing in wilmington, 70 in allentown, 71 up in reading. little bit cooler down here by the shore. upper 60's in sea isle city and the boardwalk in ac. here's future tracker 6. we have that rain out to the west. as it pushes towards the east it looks like it has the chance of diminishing a little bit but i could see some showers and perhaps a thunderstorm cruising into the

western suburbs between now and about 8 o'clock or in inclock. by noon looks like we'll be back into a more tranquil pattern and for the rest of the day it will be clouds with some sunny breaks and just a slight chance of a pop-up shower or a thunderstorm but as tam mentioned, not as much of a chance today as what we had the last couple of afternoons. 74 is the high in allentown this afternoon, clouds, some sunny breaks possible, humid, maybe a shower around at times and down the shore mid 60's in the water, 66 on the beach at noon and 70 by 3 o'clock. that's about all you'll see today, maybe a little bit higher than that in some spots. spotty storm can't be ruled out but we are mainly dry during the afternoon at the shore and in philadelphia a high of 77, mostly cloudy, humid. the storm can't be ruled out at times but mainly dry. and as we roll through the day that's how the temperatures are going to go. we'll be up into the low 70's by late morning and the mid 70's through the afternoon. lots of clouds out there, maybe a sunny break. tonight at the phillies 73 degrees for the first pitch, 70 in the ninth inning, mostly cloudy, probably dry for the phils and padres and then tomorrow in the

afternoon, we will be on the lookout sometime after 12 o'clock for the potential for some rain to begin to build in and tomorrow afternoon actually looks pretty wet. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 77 degrees, warm and humid today. a spotty shower possible, maybe a thunderstorm here and there. humid with a better chance of showers building in during the afternoon tomorrow and there could even be some pockets of heavy rain tomorrow, 81 is the high. then on friday, 83, warm and humid and a better chance of showers and thunderstorms through the day and some of those on friday could also produce some heavy downpours. we'll be looking for some street flooding if any of that happens on thursday and friday. then we get into saturday and it looks like that system is gone so fast that we reemerge with dry conditions in the morning, sun building, lowering humidity during the day and sunday also looks really nice. >> all right, sunday is a good day to look really nice. >> gary papa run. >> yup. it's 6:11. more brands new updates next including the new effort to find a family of four that vanished in alaska. karen. >> looking live right now at i-95, you see that southbound

in that area it's more of an issue as well as lancaster it's less than a mile. but you certainly can see the fog here but we see a number of vehicles involved. looks like we have a tow truck live pulling up on the scene. again this is the business accident on the boulevard at southbound here approaching the schuylkill blocking the two right lanes. overall in new jersey this is your overview. let's look at your majors. 295, turnpike, looking good. this is route 42, you're traveling about 55 miles an hour. this is 55, always jams up when you're headed to 42 but not yet. of course i draw over it so you can't see. 49 miles an hour so moving okay at this point. we expect those slow speeds to pop in any minute. just had a live update someone going by faster at 52 miles an hour in time for a certainly traffic report. steven brown tweeted me his ride. taking 95 from upper darby down to the wilmington water front area. at this point looking pretty good through delaware county on i-95. no major problems. of course you'll get that slowing when you hit the 495 split so watch for that, i-95 has been backing up lately but if you leaf early like that

you're doing okay and you can tweet me your ride and i'll help you out with your morning commute. looking good on 95 and the accident we have is >> a man a woman and two girls ages three and five were last seen is at their apartment on my 27. authorities have expanded the search but there's been no sign of them. the last physical evidence police have of the family is surveillance video and in it it shows the woman and the children at a local business on may 18. a california court case could have major effects nationwide. a superior court judge in los angeles has ruled that teacher tenure is unconstitutional. and what's considered a landmark decision the judge ruled tenure harms students especially poor and minority ones by saddling them with bad teachers for almost, , who are almost impossible to fire. the california teachers association says it will be filing an appeal. a final decision could take years. teacher tenure is an issue in districts all over the

in both directions and todd sent us this tweet. you can see what the video looked like, what the picture looked like as soon as this happened with those dump trucks colliding on the scene rider here. a nasty mess. we had an accident here to give you an update on the boulevard southbound near the schuylkill, it just cleared. some residual delays southbound near the schuylkill and certainly you see the patchy fog in this area as well, tam. >> thank you, karen. we're going to begin with a developing story. a 911 call that interrupted the new york city commute turned out to be a hoax. and authorities think the prankster could be from philadelphia. let's go right on over to "action news" reporter erin o'hearn live at the big board. she's got the story. good morning, erinism good morning, tam. you here about just how dangerous swatting is. this latest threat happened about 5:45 yesterday evening in weehawkin, new jersey, which as you can see created quite a sticky rush hour north of us but as you said, there is a philadelphia connection. authorities say someone made a threatening call to 911 hudson county police claiming he had

high powered weapons and was heading to new york city. police haven't found the caller but traced the phone to a philadelphia residence. the phone was used from a location in weehawkin close to the lincoln tunnel it's unknown if the owner of the phone actually made the call or if another person did. local roads were shut down and side streets were congested as people tried to make their way home from work. >> i mean, there's tankers and all of these police and port authority. i have no idea what's going on. just trying to get home to my six-month-old. >> reporter: scary situation for commuters. the investigation continues but as of now, no arrests have been made and there are no suspects yet in this phony call. matt. >> all right, erin, thanks so much. another new story here on "action news." police in berks county say they are no closer to figuring out what happened to a man who vanished 10 days ago. 65-year-old robert cos sick was last seen on june 1st. he left behind his car, cell phone and other personal

items. a k-9 search and rescue team scoured his home but could not find any clues. >> i just hope they find him safe and find out what happened to him. >> right now police do if the suspect foul play. anyone who might have seen him should call amity township police. a philadelphia mother and her boyfriend were charged overnight in connection with a grade school drug scare. "action news" reporter katherine scott is live outside john barry promise academy in west philadelphia. katherine. >> reporter: that's right, matt, we're hearing that that mother and her live-in boyfriend were charged after a six-year-old girl brought heroin to school. that first grader is now in dhs custody and that little girl and 19 of her classmates here at john barry elementary school in west philadelphia were taken to the hospital yesterday to be checked out. "action news" was there as the girl's mother arrived at the school. she and her boyfriend were taken in for questioning. undercover drug officers searched the parkside home in

viola street. overnight police confirm the two were charged with endangering the welfare avenue child, posing narcotics and recklessly endangering another person: a teacher spotted a child chewing on one of the packets, sending the school into emergency mode and 20 students went to chop as a precaution. it's unclear if that little girl ingested any but all the kids were medically clear. they were also interviewed by police. "action news" did speak with some of the parents outside of the hospital. >> she has no idea what drugs are. she thought they were passing around autism i think unfortunately i have to teach her about drugs after seven years old. >> reporter: and we're told that school counselors will be on hand today as students head back one day after that drug scare. we're lie in west philadelphia, katherine scott, channel6 "action news. >> katherine thank you for that. this is a jaw dropper. house majority leader eric cantor lost his primary in virginia beaten by a little

known college professor. cantor was one of the most powerful republicans in washington and the number two man in congress. now how big is this? cantor is the first sitting house majority leader to lose since 1899. dave brat whose primary issue was opposition to immigration reform. brat said it was his focus on ideas that beat -- despite being widely out spent. >> there's one reason we won this campaign. that's because dollars do not vote; you do. >> this fall brat will face democrat jack trammel also a professor at the same college, randolph make couldn't. brat spent about $200,000, cantor spent 5.4 million. our colleague reports >> those storms out to the west not really going to move across here are they.

>> not everywhere. storm tracker 6 live double scan right now matt shows us they are to the west. they are diminishing in intensity. as we take the close up view currently not seeing any recent lightning strikes in the last 10 or 15 minutes from this area of precipitation out by reading. i'll go in closer to it though because it does look like enough of this is going to survive to overtake reading probably in the next five or 10 minutes. fleetwood the same story. if we go down the front of this line you can see honeybrook on the western edge of chester county also beginning the get a little wet. coatesville not too far away from this, maybe another 10 minutes or so and it looks like the stuff that is moving into newark, delaware, is starting to fall apart a bit. you see some holes behind it but we certainly have to allow for at least a little bit of rain there as well and again i'll give you the motion. this is moving very slowly, though, and it is falling apart, so when matt asked me is it going to make it all the way across the region, that's kind of hard to say. some of it could survive to philadelphia but there's an even chance that it's very
