News 4s Gus Rosendale is in times square to explain this for us. Gus. Reporter rob, we just got that statement from the mayor a short time ago. The mayor finds this situation unacceptable, and expects to take action and bring action forward. What that is going to be is what to watch for and its unclear at this point. What were talking about here is completely legal. Legal but not without controversy. Exact numbers are not kept, but anecdotally anecdotally, it appears more women are wearing little more than paint and posing for photos around times square. Their motive, tips. There have been some reports of these models getting groped so there is Public Safety concern. Other people are worried about children and families seeing more than the bright lights of the big city. A crackdown is a challenge, because women are allowed to be topless in new york city, especially if considered part of a performance or exhibition. I think its not actually a good image, especially a lot of kids walking here. Its expressive. I mean, i guess thats a good way to be creative and use what god gave you, right . I have to say that it can be a little indecent. Because theyre exposing pretty much their whole selves. Reporter the Times Square Alliance is saying in a statement right now that we are excited to work with the administration and our elected officials to explore Workable Solutions for times square. The statement goes on, we recognize that this issue is complicated, not only legally, but also in striking a balance that maintains times squares quirkiness without allowing it to get creepy. So the big question, how we work that balance between quirky and creepy legally from that legal standpoint, it is unclear. Meantime, just from our own observation here, most people did not give these women a second look. Live in times square, Gus Rosendale, news 4 new york. Sorting it out for us. Gus, thank you.

With a car that was more than ten years old, jack was eager to buy this new one, especially after hearing about an incentive. As advertised, 1 Interest Rates on new and secondhand cars. Reporter so he signed up for an auto loan but was surprised to see an Interest Rate, 4 for the purchase. Jack asked why. He says you have a black mark on your credit from experian. Reporter two years ago, jack was getting bills to the tune of 300 from adt security services. They continued to charge him for service, be even after he had cancelled and returned the equipment.

It was business as usual for these construction workers on the west side. Hardworking guys. We spotted them pouring concrete on 52nd street. Hopefully they are drinking lots of water. Yeah, its so hot. Imagine tarring a roof in s weather. I cant get that song heatwave out of my head. Like a heatwave that surprised me we didnt have one last year. I recall last summer feeling pretty hot. Last year we had a handful of 90degree days. And so far this year weve been close. Weve had two days but never that third. But today does make three consecutive days of 90degree readings in central park. The good news over the next few days, temperatures do start to go down. Tomorrow, instead of being in the mid 90s, were in the upper 80s. But you factor in the humidity, and it will feel like the 90s tomorrow by the time we get to the middle of the week, it will feel so much more humid as southerly winds continue to bring in lowlevel moisture and it will feel tropical. Temperatures do drop over the next few days and then a comfort will come through late thursday and that brings us a chance of thunderstorms later thursday into friday. And right on into saturday morning. But right now it is still very warm outside. 90 in astoria. 95 currently over towards harrison. Same number in morristown. 90 towards danbury. Northern fairfield county. For the most part, all is quiet, except for one isolated shower now into western monmouth county. Lots of action, though, into the ohio valley, and the great lakes. All connected to a front thats sitting right here, and eventually that front will make its way into the region. That wont happen until thursday or friday. Otherwise, High Pressure sitting on top of us, keeping things very warm. This high, though, will start to weaken over the next few days and as a result temperatures do start to drop. But with the southerly winds in place, it will only get more and more humid. Now if youre stepping out this evening, no real issues. Maybe just a stray shower. Otherwise, well have a couple clouds around, and by 11 00 p. M. , still very warm with temperatures right around 80 degrees. As we head towards wednesday, thats when temperatures are down into the mid 80s. But its really humid outside. Maybe a spot storm north and west, but a much better chance of storminess as we head towards late thursday into friday and early saturday as that cold front comes through. And since it will be so humid outside, these thunderstorms could produce some real downpours. So heres the extended forecast. 89 tomorrow. Feeling more like the 90s with the humidity. Then were cooling down, then some storms thursday and friday. And the weekend, even though its still pretty warm, its much less humid on the back side of that front. Thats your forecast. Back to you. Loving it, steve. You said it best at noon. Were going to be begging for these days in six months. Cant complain too much about it being too hot. Lets enjoy it, shall we . Okay.
