To fight terrorism. Nbc 10 news starts now. Just after 6 00 a. M. Good morning. This is nbc 10 news today. Im tracy davidson. Im vai sikahema. Todays the seventh day of the latest heat wave. Weve issued a first alert because of the steamy conditions and the storms moving our way. When i was playing football, our trainers would tell us, drink lots and lots of water. If you start drinking when you get thirsty, its usually too late at that point. Youre already dehydrated if youre feeling thirsty. Which is probably good advice for anybody. When we say get hydrated, drink water even when youre not thirsty. Bill henley will bring us up to speed. Excellent advice. Temperatures in the 70s, humidity is elevated compared to yesterday. This afternoon, were back into the danger zone for philadelphia, the suburbs, new jersey and delaware. The first alert extends into this evening for our area. Thats when hot, humid conditions will make it feel like 98 to 108 degrees this afternoon. Were starting off with readings in the 70s. Not so bad. Scattered clouds in the suburbs. The Lehigh Valley, seeing some scattered clouds right now. No sign of any showers for either area. Clouds will be on the increase at noontime. Its later today that showers and thunderstorms are likely as the temperatures head into the 90s. That brings us to ourc other first alert. That for storms later today, for the Lehigh Valley, berks county, philadelphia, the suburbs, new jersey and delaware, late this afternoon, and this evening, thats the time that i expect those storms to roll through. The potential for some of these storms to produce damaging winds and very heavy rainfall and that could give us a flash flood threat later in the day. Ill go through the forecast hour by hour when im back in a few minutes to show you when the heat takes off and when the storms will arrive. First, Jessica Boyington has an update in the first alert traffic center. A few things going on right now. Were starting off on the schuylkill expressway on the eastbound side around route 1. You can see theres an accident scene right over here. It looks like we have penndot crews in the lefthand shoulder. Brake lights past it. Thats normal morning volume. Another vehicle into the righthand shoulder before they at least come together on those roads. Watching out in Lawrence Township for that overturned tractortrailer on route 1 southbound around 295. We have two lanes closed and the ramp to 95 southbound additionally is closed because of that. They fine ali zoomed our cameras in on the scene. You can see flashing lights up ahead, at least what we can see for sure is theres no major delays behind that scene, route 1 southbound around 295. Watch for some emergency crews. You can see somebody else getting to the scene right now. Looks like more delay going in the opposite direction. More updates on these scenes when im back in ten. 6 03. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf is calling on Kathleen Kane to leave her post as attorney general after a jury found kane guilty on all counts in her perjury trial. Matt delucia is live outside the courthouse in Montgomery County. Tell us about the decision and whats next. After only a week of testimony, the jury took only 4 1 2 hours to come back with that guilty verdict. Guilty on all counts. We were therec as kathleen kan was whisked away into the back of a waiting suv in was at the courthouse last night right after the jury verdict came down. The jury found kane had used her office to embarrass a former staffer, leaking grand jury material to a newspaper to do so. And then lieded about it under oath. Kanes defense team did not call any witnesses, a strategy they admit did not work in this case. The Montgomery County d. A. Said this case rested on the facts. It seemed that we had somebody who felt that she was above the law. And thats not the case, because no one is above the law. And 12 people came in here and showed otherwise. The verdict, conviction on all counts was a crushing blow, im not going to say otherwise. But we have not lost our resolve. We will continue this litigation. Well continue this fight, because we believe that our client has been wrongfully, wrongfully accused of misconduct. Reporter kane has not said as of yet if she will step down as attorney general. Governor tom wolf had this to say, today is a sad day for the commonwealth and the people of pennsylvania. Attorney general kane has been convicted of serious charges. I do not believe Kathleen Kane should be the attorney general of the commonwealth of pennsylvania. She should resign immediately. Sentencing will happen within 90 days. Kane is out on bail. She has been since all of this was under way. The judge did order her not to retaliate against any of the witnesses in this case or that she would be locked up. She does face prison time here. Again, that sentencing, until we find out what that will be, that is a big question mark at this point. For now, live in norristown, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. Thank you. Its too late. Thats what an Appeals Court is telling bill cosby about his effort to reseal his deposition testimony. c cosby admits to several affairs in the deposition and says he gave prescription sedatives to women he wanted to seduce. The deposition was unsealed at the request of the Associated Press last year. Cosby wants to stop the documents from being used in his Montgomery County trial. The court ruled, quote, the contents of the documents are a matter of public knowledge. And we cannot pretend that we could change that fact by ordering them resealed. This morning, there are some answers about the murder suicide that claimed five lives in berks county. We now know mark short killed his family before taking his own life. Investigators say short bought a gun way day after police went to his home for a domestic dispute in july. The day before the killings he was at hershey park with all the kids. August 6th, the bodies of his wife, three churn and their dog were found. Megan short planned to move to an apartment in another town that same day. She told police in july that she was afraid of her husband. The Sinking Spring Police Department did, at that time, advise megan short how to get a protection from abuse order. But she chose not to. Mark short had been demoted at his job as a loan officer a few days before the murders. Investigators say fingerprints on the weapon and handwriting analysis of a suicide note proved that mark short killed his family. Investigators are looking for what caused this collision involving a septa bus and that car in front of it.
