The region with dewpoints above the 70degree mark and that is the threshold for oppressive air.

Call police if you have tips in either case. Katherine scott channel6 action news. Katherine thank you. To a stunning confession. A decade old deposition reportedly reveals that philadelphia native and Comedian Bill Cosby admitted under oath he gave women drugs for the purpose of sex. The testimony was given back in 2005 in connection with a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by a former Temple University employee. Cosby ended upset ling that case for an undisclosed amount of money. More than two dozen women have accused cosby of sexually assaulting them in episodes dating back more than four decades but cosby has never been chargeed. I screamed my story onto deaf ears. So after 10 long years it really was quite amazing to read my email today and it was like everything turned a 180 in a matter of a minute. Well, overnight representatives for cosby released the following statement the only reason mr. Cosby settled is because it would have been embarrassing in those days to put all those women on the stand and his family had no clue. That would have been very hurtful. One of bill cosbys supporters had been philadelphian and recording artist jill scott. But with the recent revelations she tweeted a new stance writing in part sadly his own f. M. Offers proof of terrible deeds which is all i have ever required to believe the accusations. The sworn testimony is proof. Completely disgusted. Matt, back to you. Thanks, erin.

Nelson diaz had worked as the mascot for community events. He was killed on a crash on i95 in chester Delaware County back on thursday.

The European Central bank has refused to increase assistance for greek banks facing imminent collapse unless a rescue deal is reached. When you ask starbucks why it is raising coffee prices it my say because the render is is the rent is too darn high. Maribel aber. Reporter i got that one. Starbucks is raising prices despite a drop in raw coffee prices. The chain is hiking prices on a variety of beverages anywhere from five to 20 cents. The types of drinks affected vary by market but in most places a standard cup of brewed coffee will cost more. Starbucks says it needs the increase to help cover the cost of rent and wages. Higher prices take effect today. Uncertainty in greece drags stocks in the u. S. Lower. American apparel is closing stores. All part of a 30 million cost cutting strategy to turn the business around. American apparel wouldnt say which stores will be closed or how many jobs will be cut but the stores to be shut are in unprofitable and oversaturated markets according to the company. Matt and erin american ah apparel has faced tough times. Its been a long time. Thanks maribel. Was got david. Warm and humid conditions. Storm tracker6 live double scan shows that while most of the region is dry if we go in tighter theres a shower pushing one of them past trenton, the other just to the east of trenton picking up some of the beltway there so southern bucks county getting a little bit wet and theres another shower up by reading but as that latest live scan goes through it really looks like its falling apart. Everything else is up north of allentown and slatington. As we take a look outside we have cloudy skies, kind of a dramatic sky cover overhead above the ben franklin bridge and we are expect something sun to reemerge from behind those clouds but thats not going to help much because we are muggy out there and the sun is just going the make it feel worse. 75 degrees in allentown currently, 76 in philadelphia. These numbers dont look too bad. Mid 70s just about everywhere but with dewpoints running over 70 degrees right now, it is very, very oppressively humid and as we get into the heating of the afternoon, it will especially feel so. Speaking of the afternoon here it comes on future tracker. Up to 12 00 not a whole lot going on. Maybe a couple showers. Between noon and 6 oclock every now and then you see a little popup shower. Some of these in this humid air mass are going to be producing drenching downpours and that would be the Biggest Issue from any shower or thunderstorm that forms this afternoon. Most of these look to be to the north of philadelphia and look out for drenching downpours. Up in allentown that would be one of the areas that has a chance of some of this. Warm and humid, 87 is the high. But a spotty shower or thunderstorm with drenching downpours included cant be ruled out. Down the shore you have a better chance of just staying dry today, sun and clouds, warm and sticky, 84 on the beach and in the ocean water were looking at mid 70s so a nice day at the beach. And then 89 today warm and humid in philadelphia. A shower or a thunderstorm cant be ruled out although most of thats probably going to wind up north. Winds southwest eight to 16 miles per hour. As we roll through the day still in the upper 70s i 8 oclock. 85 degrees by 11 oclock. Upper 80s the entire afternoon with your high of 89 around 3 oclock this afternoon. Then tomorrow the same warm humid air mass is in place. Well probably get up to about 90 so it will be what we call hot and humid and while the morning is dry the afternoon could feature some popup showers and with a cold front coming through and that soupy air mass in place anything that pops could produce a drenching downpour. I would say theres a little better chance of gusty thunderstorms as we head through tomorrow and tomorrow night. Even up to midnight we still have a lot of action around the region and adam and cecily will likely be busy. Again how much longer with this . Today through thursday its still going to be unsettled, warm and humid drenching thunderstorms and related flash flash flooding possible although thursday as youll see in the seven day is not as intense. Your search day, warm, very steamy today a high of 89. Tomorrow hot and humid steamy ahigh of 90 and a shower or thunderstorm today a better chance of a gusty storm on wednesday. Then on thursday were down to 82 for a high. Its probably still on the humid side and there could be a stray thunderstorm or some residual showers around but were beginning to transition to more comfortable weather and on friday, warm but less humid, 86 and saturday is also looking nice. On sunday a thunderstorm reemerges in the afternoon. Thanks, david. 6 11 now. Up next, dismissed.

Ambulance is on the scene as you can see as are police and theyre blocking those right lanes. So, thats the reason for the delay on 202 southbound this morning. But 202 or even chesterbrook boulevard still better bets than Yellow Springs road. They had to close that yesterday because a vehicle struck and damaged the knox Covered Bridge along Yellow Springs road. This is especially problematic because some people were using Yellow Springs as an alternate around 23 where weve had so much construction near Valley Forge National park so now 23 not a great option. Yellow springs not a great option. 202 has a crash. Good luck if youre traveling through Chester County but at this. 202 is still the best of the three options. A crash in cheltenham along township line road at fairview road. Midday construction that got started yesterday blocking church road close to serpentine lane thats 9 00 until 3 00 through about mid august.
