a prominent boardwalk landmark symbolic of the fading allure of casino gambling in atlantic city. the revel was supposed to pump new life into the town targeting an up market crowd. the crowds never came. the casino went through two bankruptcies. it has become another domino as one casino after another falls. the atlantic club closed in january. the showboat closed this past sunday and the trump plaza will close in two weeks. the closings are a body blow to the local economy putting 6200 people out of work. the mood was grim at the revel last night as many of the 3200 employees clocked out for the last time. >> very serious. usually have fun, goof off and everything but we took it very serious did our jobs, in and out. >> reporter: looking live at the gaming floor, the lights still on on the slots machines but nobody is in there now. they've all been ushered out of this casino for the last time. so, what is next for atlantic

the afternoon and while there is the chance of a pop-up shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon hours, the better chance appears to be in the evening and you can see there if anything does pop in this humid air mass it could produce a drenching downpour as well as a little bit of a gusty wind right out ahead of those cells. by 11 o'clock probably not much going on. adam and cecily will be along with down the shore not too bad other beach temperature-wise. it's going to be pretty warm with a high of 88 degrees on the beach off atlantic city. a late thunderstorm can't be ruled out probably not until evening but warm and very humid down on the beach as well. and in philadelphia we're going for a high of 94, hot and humid today. late thunderstorms can't be ruled out especially in the evening and a little bit breezy out there at times. not that that's really going to provide you with much relief, though. 78 degrees by 8:00 a.m. 86 degrees by 11 o'clock and then 93 by 2 o'clock with a high of 94 around 3:00.

by 5 o'clock we'll be back down to 90 and any other 80's by dinner hour but late in the day or evening that thunderstorm chance exists. tomorrow while there could be a little predawn sprinkle we have for you on radar during this broadcast the general flavor of the day is clouds giving way to sun, cooler air coming in from the north and west. it will still be warm but not as hot and not as humid tomorrow so we do get a quick break. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, hot and humid today, high of 94, late thunderstorm possible. less humid tomorrow with a high of 88 and great weather for the union at ppl park tomorrow night against toronto. sunny and warm nice on thursday, 88. sunny and hot on friday a-high of 90, maybe a little more humid on friday but not expected to be all that bad. saturday though warm and sticky, 88 degrees a-late thunderstorm possible and then a high around 80 on sunday, partly sunny for that eagles home opener at lincoln financial field and on sunday we'll have to look out for a pop-up shower or thunderstorm but hopeful that stuff misses the stadium.

the ramp from the pennsylvania turnpike westbound to bensalem, this overturned tractor-trailer and it is partially blocking the eastbound traffic as well as chopper 6 pans out a little bit or widens out a little bit you can see that we're not creating a big backup at this point but i think what can happen is that they might need to shut this down certainly as they flip this tractor-trailer up and move it out of here. so if that's the case a little bit later on you might want to stick to the delaware valley interchange or you can use the street road interchange, which is an ez pass only interchange so watch for that if you're heading westbound on the pennsylvania turnpike you can get by right now at that ramp to bensalem but not sure if they might need to shut that a little bit later. let's go right now to check some of the other areas. this is 422 approaching trooper. we're seeing that eastbound traffic a little building volume eastbound but not jammed just yet. we expect earlier jams as more and more people are getting back to school, back to work but not seeing too many problems just yet. don't forget the ramps connecting 422 eastbound with armand hammer boulevard

storm tracker 6 live double scan right now shows that you there's no precipitation yet and as we take a look outside we are look tag very muggy start, sun coming up over the horizon nice and bright but it is definitely on the humid side out there. 76 degrees currently in philadelphia, your dewpoint up over 70 and 70 degrees is that thresholds for what we consider oppressively humid air. as that sun gets up over the horizon you really start to feel that. winds out of the west-southwest at 7 miles per hour. a little breezy this afternoon, not that that breeze is going to help all that much with the conditions we're looking at. 71 is your dewpoint in philadelphia, 71 in trenton. again dewpoints over 70 indicate oppressively humid air and even these dewpoints of 66 and 68 in the northern and western areas like allentown and reading, that's also pretty humid. future tracker 6 shows you how we'll be in and out of the clouds in the morning and afternoon. looks like we stay mainly dry with the slight chance of a pop-up afternoon shower or thunderstorm. once we get past 6 o'clock we'll be on the lookout for some drenchers to begin to develop.

any thunderstorms that form do produce drenching downpours in this hot humid air mass that we're dealing with today and there there might be a little bit of gusty wind ahead of these and of course all that residual lightning. as we get up to 11 o'clock not much going on but cecily and adam will be out there to show you if there's anything still popping. 86 degrees by 11 o'clock, so getting very warm very quickly today. and we spend the majority of the afternoon in the 90's. by 2 o'clock 93. 94 is your high around 3 o'clock and we're still holding on to about 90 by 5 o'clock. slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm but the better chance is this evening. high temperatures, 91 in allentown and trenton, 92 in reading. really nies 90's just about everywhere except the shore where you're in the mid to upper 80's. tomorrow morning we'll have shower but that will get out of here quickly. temperatures dropping a little bit and that humidity also on its way down tomorrow. your exclusive accuweather
