that was along south -- i was along south broad last evening and they were tearing up some of the lanes. you're going to see a bumpy ride as you travel through there this morning. as we said the naacp convention continues today at the convention center and the big guy is coming to town, president obama going to touchdown early this afternoon at phl. rolling closures along 95 likely up to the vine street expressway and then he'll leave so those rolling closures again in the early evening. we'll keep you posted throughout the day as the highways shut down. matt. >> matt, let's talk more about that right now. happening today, president obama will visit philadelphia to address attendees at the naacp convention.

support prekindergarten education leading to fewer folks ending up in the prison system. >> reporter: prisons policing and the role of communities are also topics that are going to be discussed in the president's speech. we're live in center city, katherine scott, channel6 "action news"." >> new on "action news," police are working to see if a fire and a is the shooting at a home in delaware are connected. the fast moving fire damaged two homes in new castle county overnight. the fire broke out just past 11:00 on the unit block of bedford drive in edgemoor. it took about 30 minutes to get the fire under control. one home was part of a shooting investigation from earlier in the day. a man was hurt in that shooting. no one was injured in the fire. >> two more bill cosby accusers have revealed their identities as they ask a judge to shed more light on 2005 sexual assault lawsuit. beth ferrier and rebecca neal say they were both drugs and

sexually assaulted by the famous comedian in 1986 in separate incidents. the women joined a court bid yesterday to unseal and release cosby's entire deposition transcript from a lawsuit brought on by a temple employee in 2005. a judge made portions of that deposition public last week including testimony from cosby where he admitted obtaining quaaludes in the 1970's to give women before they had sex. >> he's not the nice wholesome person that he was -- that he portrays on his show. >> it is important for the world to know the truth about how bill cosby hunted me like a predator. >> cosby has never been charged with a crime. >> more video has been released showing the former eagles quarterback donovan mcnabb being arrested on dui charges. in the footage mcnabb can be seen attempting to claim that he's simply trying to get home. he says he hasn't been drinking but has been sick and

and thunderstorms. they're going to be driving. there was as you head to work. i want to take you right to storm tracker6 live double scan and you can see that the heaviest storms are south and west of the city butter they're pushing closer towards philadelphia. i want to go in a little tighter with this, with double scan we can see that we've got some heavy rain through south jersey at this point near elmer, in wilmington we've got some light rain with heavier rain in newark, in chadds ford you're just about to get hit by all of this because the motion of this is moving up to the north and east. you have a cell right now not producing lightning at the moment near media but i think that will pretty shortly. in philadelphia just some scattered showers and jenkintown but you can see this heavier rain is going to push up to the north and east and i'll set that in motion so you can kind of see how that happens. so, be careful as you're headed outer. let's go on outside. we want to see exactly what it looks like right now as you start your day. we're with the clouds and showers as sky6 looks live at the center city skyline. we currently have a temperature of 74. it's warm, it's humid with the dewpoint at 68, so ah it's certainly very humid, more so

than yesterday. the winds out of the east and the barometric pressure has been falling. satellite6 and action radar showing how these storms have moved just in place just as we warned you they would at this point as you're driving through the day but you can look at this image and see it's not going to rain constantly all day but we've got a little break in the action then more thunderstorms popping through and that's the way the day is going to look. so i want to show you future tracker six at 9:30 in the morning, not everybody sees this but maybe a few more showers and thunderstorms and the problem is with the humidity so high it's just so much moisture in the atmosphere. you're going get localized flooding other roadway if you hit one of these storms. noon today we'll see showers maybe a thunderstorm popping up here or there. so not raining all day. in fact we're going to see some sunny breaks here or there but at 10 o'clock we're still dealing with this so the threat of these storms continues all day into the night. even though it's not raining constantly. so, by 8:00 a.m., it's 76. by 11:00 a.m., 81. by 2:00 p.m., 85. by 5:00 p.m., 86 coming down from your high of 87 with a

downpour at any point. so if you're at the shore you need to be mindful of that sitting on the beach you're going to have a shower or thunderstorm at any point. about 80 degrees along the coastline. a little warmer on the coast in delaware, 88 in beth thee beach for your high today. that ocean temperature dropped a little bit from yesterday. here's a look at your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast. it's really humid today with downpours at any point. although not raining constantly today. 87 for your high. it still stays unsettled tomorrow. looks like the fronts comes through later in the afternoon with more downpours coming at times but then the big change comes thursday and the payoff after all this, nice and refreshing, a front sweeps all the humidity out, the rain we're dry and 82. friday's nice and bright and 84. saturday we're turning warmer, 88 degrees. just a chance on saturday and sunday for a shower at the end of the day, not big deal. it's just a warm and humid weekend. monday hot and humid 90 degrees. so, really unsettled today and tomorrow. we're not looking at any severe weather at this point but the downpours could be a problem to drive through.
