jury came back with centered around cosby's 2005 deposition. in closing arguments yesterday, we will talk about that, cosby's lawyers tried to convince the jury of seven men and five women that andrea constand's story is inconsistent and unreliable, the goal being to cast reasonable doubt. cosby did not take the stand in his own defense yesterday but district attorney kevin steele, on the other hand, hammered home the idea constand was a victim of cosby. the jury is hard-working so now we are into day two of the deliberations, the jury is weighing three criminal charges of aggravated indecent assault. cosby could spend the rest of his life behind bars if convicted. once again, the jury is in deliberations right now behind closed doors. we expect more information to develop as the day unfolds. i'll be back with any updates. matt delucia, nbc 10 news. >> count on nbc 10 to bring you the jury's decision the moment it happens. we will have updates on air and online. you can also get an instant

that west wind is a land breeze for delaware, land breeze for the jersey shore. tomorrow, everybody gets a wind off the ocean. there it is. on thursday, you got a wind off the ocean and on friday, you got a wind off the ocean. it can't get to 90 degrees with winds off a 62 degree ocean. here we are on saturday, it turns into the southeast. that will help increase the humidity and increase the chance for any kind of showers, but not push the temperatures into the mid 90s again. we are code arrange wiorange wi unhealthy for sensitive individuals. limit outdoor activity until about 5:00, 6:00. on satellite and radar you see showers in new york but this little line here coming down, that may be the beginning of the

line of showers or maybe even thunderstorms that develop with heating during the afternoon. we will track that as we take a look later on today. as we go through the day, we are generally dry. the sea breeze kicks in at atlantic city, knocking the temperature down, and this evening, we could see some isolated thunderstorms across parts of the area and tomorrow morning as well, down toward the shore. but look at these numbers tomorrow. it's barely getting out of the 70s in many parts of the area. so it is definitely going to be much, much cooler. look at what happens here. we go from 97 all the way down to 77 by friday but the chance of showers goes up. we've got a chance of thunderstorms in delaware by friday. again, nothing close to the 90s. allentown, you are dropping into the low 70s.

at the jersey shore, 70, 68 to 66 degrees. warms up a little over the weekend but the shower chances are there as well. more on that coming up. we'll be right back.

a verdict is reached on air and on our nbc 10 app. the weather, glenn? >> yeah, the temperature is easily going into the mid 90s today and even not a whole lot of relief at the beaches because we have a west wind here. so that hot weather goes all the way toward the ocean. there's a live picture from ocean city. you can see the umbrellas, very close to the water. that's what happens when you have this land breeze. you got to get in some cases put your chairs in the water to feel relief. that's a lot of people for a monday or tuesday. 97 degrees for a potential record high today, then much, much cooler starting tomorrow. you can see the rest of the week, below the average of 82 degrees. then the chance of showers and thunderstorms increases as we go into the weekend. so this weekend coming up is not going to be anything like this past weekend. >> thanks for watching "nbc 10 news at 11:00." i'm tracy davidson. >> i'm vai sikahema.
