good morning out there, it is now 4:30, i'm tamala edwards here with erin o'hearn. matt has the morning off. much more on all those stories in a moment. let's find out about this heat. sounds like it will be a real burner out there david murphy. >> headed to the 90's this afternoon. for now starting out clear, plenty of sunshine over the horizon maybe a little bit of haze over the atmosphere and we're watching to west as a cold front is beginning to trigger thunderstorms and showers on the other side of eerie pennsylvania, they will be here late today and tonight. 73 degrees right now in philadelphia and muggy. 70 in allentown, 72 in reading, 70 in dover and even down in sea isle city we are up over the 70-degree mark. take a look at dewpoints. anything over 60 means humid air. 66 in wilmington and allentown and even philadelphia at 64 so definitely al muggy feel as you head outside. and as we head out between 6:00 and 8 o'clock expect temperatures to climb. muggy, sunny early on.
4:32 am
as we roll through the day that's when it really starts to heat up. 78 degrees by 9 o'clock, 87 by noon and then at 3 o'clock 92, we expect a high of 93 shortly after that and we'll probably still be holding onto the upper 80's by 6 o'clock and again after we get later into the afternoon and evening we'll be on the lookout for at least some spotty gusty thunderstorms. i'll have more on that on future tracker 6 coming up as well as what's on the other side of this next frontal boundary coming up in that seven day. guys. >> okay, thank you, david. the mother of a six week old baby is expected to be charged today. she's accused of leaving her infant unattended in an suv. an "action news" viewer caught the commotion on a cell phone as people noticed that baby in the car. "action news" reporter katherine scott has more on the video that you will only see right here on "action news." good morning, katherine. >> reporter: good morning, tam. in that video you can hear people talk about busting out the car windows themselves as they worried about the baby's safety. investigators are consulting with the district attorney's officers as they try to determine what this mother
4:33 am
will be charged with. let's go to that exclusive video obtained by "action news." you can see people are gathering worried about this baby. there's a commotion in the parking lot. an "action news" viewer captured this cell phone video. this took place about 6:30 on monday morning outside the wal-mart on franklin mills boulevard boulevard. a six week old boy had been left in a toyota highlander. after few minutes a police officer arrived. that was around the same time as the child's 35-year-old mother emerged from wal-mart. she was handcuffed and taken into custody. the officer got the keys to the car. firefighters and paramedics were on the scene and they took the baby out of the vehicle. >> makes no sense whatsoever 'cause there's never any reason to leave a child in the car. not only just the heat but god for bid there was a car accident, if the car you was hit, anything could have happened, the child could have been, you know, stolen out of the car, anything could have
4:34 am
went wrong. >> reporter: and at this time it's unclear how long that baby boy was inside the car. that baby boy was inside the christopher's hospital to be checked out. he's doing okay. he was placed in his father's custody. again no word on what charges this mother will be filed with. we're live from the special victims unit, katherine scott channel 6 "action news." >> thank god they saw that baby. thanks katherine. an argument may have that sparked a late night shooting in west philadelphia. police tell "action news" the victim was found lying in the 4900 block of west thompson street next to a mountain bike. the 41-year-old man is in critical condition with gun shots to the head face and chest. a potential suspect was spotd in a blue or dark colored vehicle. police are reviewing city surveillance on the block hoping to get a good look at the shooter. happening today an arraignment is expected in the montgomery county home invasion and kidnapping case. it happened yesterday near the intersection of trinity and holstein roads in upper merion township. police say the suspect broke into the home, grabbed the
4:35 am
shot gun from the owner tied up the man's wife and drove the husband to the bank to withdraw cash. when police spotted the vehicle the suspect ditched the car but was arrested a short time later. >> and here's the latest coming from the middle east. the violence and the evacuations in israel and gaza are affecting international flights to the region. u.s. flights into israel have been canceled by the faa after a rocket landed near tel aviv's ben gurion airport. we have the latest. >> reporter: early wednesday clashes between palestinian and israeli troops left at least one person dead in bethlehem in the west bank. and over gaza, the sky was ablaze as both sides fired rockets and missiles. and now the united states is feeling the ripple effect. after a rocket from gaza landed less than 1 mile from israel's ben gurion airport on tuesday, the faa said that it
4:36 am
is prohibiting u.s. airlines from flying into or out of the tel aviv airport for up to a day an extreme measure that the agency hasn't enactd in more than 20 years. major european carriers followed suit. >> obviously with the travel warning we take very seriously the security and safety american citizens. >> reporter: israel's seeming isly invincible iron dome defense system failed to intercept the rocket. the move to ban arrivals and departures from israel's main gateway to the world is a sign of caution about flying near combat zones heightened by the downing of a commercial jet over ukraine last week. overnight flight radar showed skies over israel quiet. israeli officials and even former new york city mayor michael bloomberg want the ban reversed saying it only hurts israel. secretary of state john kerry just landed in jerusalem continuing to push for a

4:38 am
away at the debris. the tampering could make it much more difficult to pinpoint blame. yesterday senior u.s. intelligence officials said the jet was most likely shot down by a russian fa11 surface to air missile. they believe the missile was fired by russian bacteria separatists in eastern ukraine most likely by mistake. it was hundred 90 people on board the plane were killed. and stay with "action news" and abc news for the latest on both of these major international stories. "good morning america" will have live reports from overseas coming up at 7:00 right after actor news. >> now time to take that first look at business. investigators will be holding a flues conference announcing the arrests of international cyber thieves. these crooks hacked into a thousand stub hub accounts. affected customers have received refunds. and we keep on hearing about a coming smart watch

4:45 am
into the evening hours and there's a better chance of this coming down in toward philadelphia. not everybody sees it all at once but where you do you could see lots of lightning gusty winds and some of these could produce a little hail. not certain that there's going to be any severe storms out of this but there could be storms that at least knock things around enough to bring down a tree branch or two. by 10:30 and 11 o'clock right around the time adam joseph and cecily tynan have their nighttime forecast radar will almost certainly have something to show you. at the shore you might get woken by a rumble of thunder in the wee hours of morning. 75 degrees by 8 o'clock but by 11:00, 84 and by 2 o'clock, 90. your high today is 93 degrees and that kicks in probably at about three or four clock this afternoon. still in the low 90's by 5 o'clock. high temperatures from north to south, we expect 90's even up in allentown reading and trenton. down the shore mid 80's but everybody looking at hot and humid conditions and again late day storms in the northern and western suburbs and probably holding off until the evening hours in and
4:46 am
around i-95. for the phillies tonight it's going to be humid and there could be a thunderstorm passing through that delays the game. i do think they'll get it in, though. 86 degrees for the first pitch and 79 in the ninth. tomorrow in the morning we'll be cloudy and perhaps a little bit damp up until 10:00, 11:00, noon. by the time we get into the afternoon it looks like the sun returns and humidity lowers and things do get better during the day tomorrow. your seven-day from accuweather, we are looking at a hot and humid high of 93 today. late storms as you just saw and that high of 93 coupled with the high humidity will probably give you a heat index up close to a hundred degrees in urban centers. tomorrow a morning shower maybe a storm but then clearing in the afternoon, a high of 82 with lowering humidity and friday still looking great, 84, sunny, beautiful evening for the union and phillies and saturday still looking pretty good, warm with a high of 88 but humidity on the low side. might be a little bit stickier on sunday, clouds and sun and in the afternoon a pop-up thunderstorm is possible and we'll probably see a little more of that on monday, okay.
