independent actors who could strike with very little notice. >> the somali terror group is the same one that took credit for an attack on mall in kenya back in 2013 that left 67 people dead. the fallout continues for comedian bill cosby after dozens of women accused him of sexual abuse. cosby has scrapped two upcoming shows in upstate new york. his performances this month in pittsburgh and north carolina were also canceled with no explanation. the comedian's tour has been under fire since november when several allegations of sexual harassment were then made. cosby has not been charged and his attorneys deny all of the accusations. >> all right. tonight's health check there may be a way to prevent many peanut allergies. >> health reporter and registered nurse ali gorman with the details. >> this is a problem that has worried parents doctors and even teachers in recent years. peanut allergies have more than tripled among children. and we don't know exactly what's causing the increase

but an experiment shows that we may be able to prevent it. the secret is early exposure. in a study infants between four and 11 months of age with severe eczema, egg allergies or both were assigned to either eat peanut products or to avoid them. at the age of five, very few kids in the peanut group had allergies compared to those who were avoiding nuts. >> studies are great break through because it real did show that earlier introduction and continuation of peanut consumption did decrease the risk of peanut anaphylaxis significantly. >> in the past most doctors urged high risk kids those with allergies or whose parents or siblings have pet or food allergies not the eat peanuts. study leaders say parents of high risk kids should check with their doctor before introducing peanuts. also today, most americans don't use a sauna every day but experts in finland say maybe we should. they found that men who use saunas at least four times a

week lived longer and had lower rates of heart disease than once a week users. the doctors think the increased heart rate you get in a sauna mimics the effect of exercise in some ways. it may also help to reduce stress. finish doctors say the study adds to growing evidence in favor of 10 to 20 minutes a day in a sauna. sounds good to me, monica. >> sounds fabulous. thank you ali. >> a risky surgery in texas is now being hailed as a medical miracle. >> that was the reaction from parents of two conjoined twins after they learned their girls were successfully separated. the twins shared several body parts including lungs and intestines. a medical staff of 26 people an day long medical procedure helped successfully separate the little girls. the twins will be able to leave the hospital when they fully recover from the surgery. >> well, two boys at the shiply school in bryn mawr are

they're seven, one and four since then. has he seen a miracle in the works. >> nope. this team is too good to be that low in the standings. like i say it took awhile to find the right rhythm. i think we find a way to win the games which is really important. >> goalie ray emery did not make the road trip because he's day to day with a lower body injury. back to you guys. >> thank you jamie. broadcasting news right now. let's go to chopper 6 live and show you what's happening in buena vista atlantic county new jersey. a tractor-trailer and pickup truck collided head on. tragic results perhaps. chopper 6 here at route 54 and 40 and this happened at 5:15 so about a half hour ago. one of the vehicles there as you see has flipped. no transports at this time. we don't know the extent of the injuries but just from what we're seeing as far as the results the firefighters on the scene paramedics

>> hollywood's biggest night is in the books but the dolby theater had an encore of sorts

this morning. kelly ripa and michael strayhan took over the iconic stage for their annual post oscars morning show. both hosts had a late night after the oscars. they were bright eyed and ready to go for this morning's live broadcast. they told our alicia vitarelli it wasn't as easy as it seems. >> when i tell you it was restoration process, my makeup, i don't know, he was like okay, let's see what we can do with some glue and some glitter. >> let me explain something. the second that we're done, i'm going to chance and the clothes fall off me. >> whatever they did it worked. they looked great. some other big names woke up early with kelly and michael. allentown's own carson pressly was on hand to break down the hits and misses on the red carpet and host neil patrick harris took a look back at his first oscars hosting gig. of course you can see more of alicia's oscars coverage on 6abc.com. we have her live oscar night wrapup from the red carpet and

her preoscar interview with jimmy kimmel. you can see photos and videos from alicia and our "action news" team who were out in hollywood it's all right there on 6abc.com. >> wow. >> very cool. >> maybe alicia will bring some of that warm weather. >> probably not. >> wishful thinking. >> can't use the jet engines to kind of last it our way. record cold again tomorrow morning. it's been many many days of record lows. as we tack a look at double scan live radar all is quiet. we saw a lot of sunshine today but another arctic front pushed through early in the morning and that ushered in that brutal air again. but as we take a live look right now on sky 6 a beautiful breath taking shot despite the chill in atlantic city looking southbound and you can see those cirrus clouds, ice crystal clouds about 20,000 feet up and it's the longer wave lengths of sunlight on the horizon that bounce and refract back off of those ice critical to give the

beautiful color. as we look at the arctic air what's not so beautiful is the drop in temperature we experienced early this morning. at midnight it was 37 degrees. that was our high for the day. 33 at 7 o'clock this morning down to 25 by noon and right now our temperature sitting at 24 degrees. on top of that, we still have a breeze out of the north-northwest creating wind chills in the single digits. in trenton allentown reading and lancaster below zero, in the poconos nd the rest of us are in the teens but the good thing about the wind tonight it will ease as we go dear into the overnight so we're not talking about those harsh wind chills like we had a couple of times last week. there are the cirrus clouds especially south of philadelphia to the north and west a little more in the way of clear sky and that will be the general trend tonight to see the clear sky that creates good radiational cooling without the wind meaning you can drop the temperature further. in fact, here's the records that we are predicting. not in philadelphia but we'll be close to the record of two. allentown reading and

wilmington no doubt those records are going to fall tomorrow morning. six below the air temperature tomorrow morning in allentown five below in reading. three in wilmington with the old record being six and expecting to tight record in atlantic city. high pressure still going to be in control tomorrow. still a lot of sunshine. the next boundary will be waiting a day or so to our north and west so 24 degrees but light winds tomorrow and full sunshine. then this boundary will be pushing through very late in the day. it does turn breezy on wednesday. sun and clouds but a decent day at there it degrees. that is below the normal of 45 degrees for this time of year. as we look at the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast it's cold but no wind tomorrow. so, look to the bright side of things here. 24 degrees. 38 still very chilly on wednesday but at least it's 14 degrees warmer but then as that secondary arctic front pushes through early on thursday it's mostly cloudy. the temperature drops again to 26 degrees and we tale stay

21 degrees below normal on friday but it's a dry week at least and on saturday a little recovery but 16 degrees below normal and as we go to the new month of march right now generally it will be a lamb because we'll be 40 degrees, mostly cloudy, some late day showers and then as we get into monday, rain is likely as we boost those temperatures back to normal. >> okay. >> thank you sir. >> take a quick break.
