south-southwest at 7 miles per hour. take a look at satellite this morning. or i should say future tracker six, there is not a whole lot of action expected during the morning and early afternoon hours. every now and then some of you especially north and west of philadelphia could see a shower or two popping through. but it looks like the big action is probably later on tonight as a cold front gets closer to us and a line of showers and thunderstorms develop ahead of it. some of these, this evening up until about 11 o'clock or so could be strong with some strong gusty winds, maybe even some small hail. so i wouldn't be surprised to see some thunderstorm warnings later tonight and looks like most of this is going to be centered to the north and west of i-95. philadelphia itself could get some of this as well. not so much down to the south and east today. 77 degrees is the 8 o'clock temperature and then by 11:00 we're up to 86. afternoon we're going to spend pretty much in the 90's. by 2 o'clock 92. a high of 94 around 4 o'clock and by 5 o'clock, 92 degrees again, some afternoon showers

and thunderstorms possible but most of the action later this evening. high temperatures in the 90's again just about everywhere away from the shore and at the shore you are looking fairly toasty, mid to upper 80's today. and then we take a look at future tracker for tomorrow and tomorrow it looks like the center of the action early may be south of philadelphia although during the day there is the possibility of a scattered shower or a thunderstorm popping up. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast shows that high of 94 today. it will be a bit on the humid side and there is that chance of a pop-up shower or thunderstorm this afternoon with a better chance later on this evening. warm and humid again on wednesday, 89. again some showers or a spotty strong thunderstorm is possible. and then we get into thursday and we're looking at a mix of clouds and sun with a high of 86. we're allowing for a lingering thunderstorm but in general this is the day that the front starts to pass past us and i think things are transitioning to better weather. in fact as you take a look at friday we're looking at a sunny and nice day with lower humidity and a high of 85. that front is going to return as a warm front on saturday

though. we'll see a mix of clouds and sun. we reintroduce the idea of a spotty afternoon thunderstorm and that high of 87. 6abc night at the union happens on saturday night. i'll be down there with some of the rest of us from channel 6. sunday warm and humid, 88 degrees and the chance of a pop-up storm there as well and then 86 on monday. so, a little bit of a break coming but we've got to wait another couple days to really get there. okay. >> thanks, david. >> sure. >> happening today, president obama plans to ask congress for $2 billion in emergency spending to deal with the u.s.-mexican border crisis. unaccompanied migrant children from central america have been crossing the border by the thousands leading to protests in california where many are ending up. the obama administration is calling the problem a humanitarian crisis. the white house is requesting getting more money for immigration judges, detention facilities and legal aid. >> newly released court records show police want to learn about the health of a toddler in the months before
