i am tracking heat wave number three which will begin tomorrow. today we're just dealing with a warm and very muggy day with dewpoints in philadelphia 67 degrees. we have some dewpoints in the 70's and that's bringing a lost moisture in the air and with that moisture we are seeing some isolated spotty downpours. they're really not moving much at all. no lightning strikes but we have spotty downpours in south jersey and this one line right now through northeast philadelphia into camden county as we zoom in here, this is right over frankford over bustleton avenue, over i-95 palmyra right now and we've seen this sitting here for about the past 45 minutes so really no steering winds to move it along. so, some of these areas have seen more than a half inch of rain. so, with the high moisture content in the air any spotty downpour can really drop a lot of rain in a short period of time. temperature-wise, though it's not that hot yet. 85 degrees in philadelphia. we can handle that. normal my for this time of the

engineer about 87 degrees. however, if we go a lot wider you can see there's a lost building heat across the plains with temperatures in the mid to upper 90's and that will be moving our way beginning tomorrow and i think wednesday and thursday will really be the worst of it. so, this is what to expect. muggy conditions continue through thursday and temperatures will be rising. i'm tracking heat wave number three which could include the hottest day so far of the year. i'll talk about that and let you know when some relief is on the way coming up in the full accuweather forecast. rick. >> all right, cecily. we'll check back in later. thank you. as temperatures rise this week remember to check 6abc.com/weather. the hourly forecasts and storm tracker6 radar will help you plan your day and keep you ahead of any severe weather. >> the world meeting of families and pope francis' visit to philadelphia are now just two months away. while folks in the city are starting to be concerned about how they're going to be impacted by that huge event mayor michael nutter and organizers are asking folks to ignore the rumors and just stick with what they tell

security perimeter extending around and well beyond the ben franklin parkway. >> want to be very, very clear with all of you. no official security perimeter has been announced or fully and finally determined. >> reporter: the mayor said the city is working with the federal government to strike a balance between security safety and accessibility while hosting the leader of the roman catholic church who is also ahead of state. >> i am not planning to give every nut case in the universe a significant amount of advanced information from a security standpoint as to exactly where and when and how and what route pope francis is going to be transported. >> i'm sure that our city has an exact plan but as far as the citizens go, we'll find out eventually. yeah, i'm going with the flow. i think people should be happy that he's coming its a great thing, you know.

>> reporter: now, the mayor did say additional details will be released next week in an official manner. we did expect a news conference from septa this afternoon detailing a resum someone of the sale of regional rail passes for the time the pope is here but that news conference was abruptly and inexplicablely canceled. we expect it could happen later on this week. live in fairmount i'm sarah bloomquist, channel6 "action news." >> thank you, sarah. don't forget you can keep up with all of the latest on the pope's visit and the world meeting of families with our special twitter account. just follow at 6abc pope. >> in other news tonight philadelphia police are trying to track down the owner of a car involved in a deadly hit and run. francis arroyo was killed in the crash which happened last night around 10:30 in juniata park. his brother osvaldo was making a u-turn to drive francis home when they were hit. the driver ran off. police recovered the vehicle nearby and they've identified who owns it.

couldn't traffic report tostark ondraft contrast to yesterday. mother and daughter remain in stable condition. the couple had a history of domestic strife. >> every time it would be back and forth. you could hear them back and forth. this time it was like a cry please somebody help me. she was saying please stop. >> reporter: donna bowlds from lancaster was visiting her mother next door when she heard bloodcurdling screams and saw the woman pinned to the floor and on the top burton stabbing her repeatedly. she called police but by the time they arrived burton had fled in his car. he was arrested last night in maryland apparently without incident. >> she don't have to worry he's in custody and everybody can rest. i even got some sleep last night, so with him being locked up it's -- it's great. >> reporter: sharrie, again burton's extradition hearing

is set for tomorrow morning in the city of baltimore. live at the north detective division, i'm vernon odom, channel6 "action news" in olney. >> okay, vernon, thank you. now from our delaware news room, the death of a young man from middletown has been ruled accidental. 20-year-old ty sawyer died after getting into a fight. there's no evidence the fight itself caused sawyer's death t his parents disagree and have spoken out about their son's death. police in burlington county are investigating a robbery at a cvs pharmacy. they say it may be related to other crimes in the tri-state. you can see the suspect. police say he pulled out a handgun and ordered two employees in the office to grab cash from the safe. over the weekend two men held up a cvs in aston delaware county. police say in that case the workers were tied up during the robbery. earlier this month a man robbed the cvs in wilmington like the were 91 new jersey it happened about 7:00 a.m.

now this is also good news because they had to suspend all service on the one set of patco tracks that remains opened. this set of course out of construction -- out of commission for construction. so, with that police activity gone, now the patco trains can move again between center city and camden. things returning to normal at this hour on the ben franklin bridge. but we still have that accident involving the truck that was pulling the trailer and the trailer flipped over here in springfield township delaware county. you want to avoid baltimore pike at norwinden drive by the chucky cheese. this is 422 westbound our normal afternoon. little bit of slowing and watch out for construction here each night this week starting at 7 o'clock by trooper road. going to see delays then on 422 as well. here in that mount laurel there's a bad crash this afternoon along 295 northbound near route 73 with some restrictions there. and in camden they're tearing down the old commerce building so all week long federal street and broadway are closed but you can get to the walter rand transportation center. there's the good news for if you, rick and monica. >> always a silver lining.

>> there are nine wildfires burning right now across the state of california. campgrounds were evacuated and residents put on alert as one of the fires continues to threaten hundreds of structures in sierra national forest. the fire is only 5 percent contained. meanwhile another wildfire burning in napa valley wine country is now 70 percent contained tonight. >> well, in health check tonight the u.s. may finally have reached a turning point in the battle against obesity. >> health reporter and registered nurse ali gorman is at the big board with that story tonight. ali. >> hi, guys. there is still a long way to go but the message may finally be getting through that eating and drinking too much is harmful to your health.

because according to store sales and food diaries americans are now eating less. for adults calorie consumption peaked in 2003 but that has been declining slowly ever since. for children, it's dropped 9 percent for the average child. the biggest shift has been in full calorie soda. that's down 25 percent since the late 1990's. now, americans still are not eating nearly enough fruits and vegetables and still eating too much jung food but the downward trend is encouraging. also today the u.s. air force has a new unit for transporting patients with ebola or other highly contagious diseases. the transporter isolation system fits into a c17 transporter plane. it can handle multiple patients. during last year's ebola outbreak patients were flown back to the u.s. one at a time in a cramped charter jet. now, this will also boost the quality of care. >> we can provide critical

care in the air inside the transport isolation system. other units really aren't capable of doing that. >> air force officials hope that there are no outbreaks like the ebola outbreak but said that they will be ready just in case. and finally today for new parents there is always a lot of advice out there but are they getting the right advice from trusted sources? a new study finds that may not be the case. a survey of more than 1,000 new moms shows up to half don't remember getting advice from their doctors about key topics. were 915 didn't recall advice about breastfeeding. more than half reported no advice on pacifier use. and one in four say their healthcare provider didn't discuss the best way for babies to sleep on their back. now, it is possible that some of this information was given but the new moms were overwhelmed. many experts recommend new parents write out a list of questions covering those important topics and ask your doctor before the baby arrives.

you can always ask again if you forget and the information will be more up to date from a pediatric expert. >> that is a lot to remember. thank you ali. young folks are now being treated at this new outpatient facility at the children's hospital of philadelphia. it's called the burger center for advanced pediatric care. it's across the street from chop's main hospital in university city. beautiful, isn't it? the 700,000 square foot facility has the most recent technology in treating young patients. it also offers a more relaxed atmosphere with several outdoor spaces.

and shot him. police later found what they call a kill kit in his car. it included handcuffs knives, shovels and cleaning supplies. detectives now suspect he is linked to the death or disappearances of women in nevada illinois and ohio. they have asked the fbi to join that investigation. >> at the "action news" big board now it's a cover story that's sure to get a lot of attention. instead of the traditional one person cover, how about this? 35 women are featured on the cover of new york magazine. all 35 have accused bill cosby of sexual assault. well the stark black and white image shows the women sitting in chairs with their hands clasped or on their laps. the stories are about the explosive allegations against the legendary sitcom start. the cover which is out today shows 35 of the 46 women who have come forward publically to accuse bill cosby of rape or sexual assault. many of the accusers say they

were also drugged. the 78-year-old comedian has denied it and has not been charged with a crime. but in a 2005 court deposition made public three weeks ago cosby stated that he intended to give quaaludes to young women with whom he wanted to have sex with. okay. inside the article the women shared their individual stories of when they say cosby sexually assaulted them and we also want you to take a closer look at this. on the last row of the cover new york magazine left a 36th claire vacant, possibly for those who have yet to come forward. cosby's rep says he has no comment on this magazine cover. over to monica. >> all right sharrie thank you. the initial phase of an autopsy is now complete on bobbi kristina brown. it shows no medical conditions or significant injuries that could have led to her death. a medical examer said the case is complicated though, because so much time has passed between the day she became unresponsive in january until her eventual death

yesterday. police initially described it as a drowning. brown was found face down in a bathtub at her georgia townhome sinal lar to the way officials discovered her mom whitney houston three years ago. >> from our delaware news room tonight police are trying to identify the man suspected in three bank robberies in wilmington over the past few months. detectives believe he robbed the artisan's bank on silver side road back on may 14 and then again on june 8th. he's also suspected of robbing the wsfs bank on concorde pike on friday. in each case police say he showed a weapon to the bank teller and demanded cash. no one was hurt during any of the robberies. in philadelphia police are trying to find the man who robbed a payless shoe store in hunting park. this is new surveillance video of the holdup on june 28th. investigators say the man pretended to want to buy a pair of sandals from the store on east hunting park avenue. the 51-year-old employee started to ring him up. that's when the man went behind the counterclaiming he had a gun. still unclear how much money

speeds are still in the teens there. in springfield township delco watch out for that truck whose trailer overturned along baltimore pike at norwinden drive by the chucky cheese. east nottingham chester county a crash along baltimore pike at water way road. so something for everybody but have a safe trip home, rick and monica. >> so nice to spread the love. very nice of you. >> i try. >> thanks a lot. much more still to come. an update on two young fishermen missing at sea. we're following the search for two boys who disappeared on their way to the bahamas. >> eagles training camp just days away. >> monica right now feels like 88 degrees in philadelphia but look at that heat. building in the midsection of the country. our third heat wave of the summer will begin tomorrow. i'll have all those numbers coming up in that accuweather forecast when "action news" returns.

with the day's headlines. hey, jamie. >> hi, jamie. >> hey there guys. the last time we had meaningful football to talk about on a sunday it was still snow on the ground and this sunday it will be over 90 degrees and guess what? the eagles will report to training camp and all will be right with the world once again. all eyes will be on this man his arm more importantly his left knee. sam bradford set to return from two straight acl repairs said to be healthy and ready to compete in 11 on 11 drills. the question just how much will he do? here's what espn's sal pal antonio thinks. >> if sam bradford is healthy what do we expect? chip kelly doesn't like hypotheticals but we're the hypothetical business here right in the media. so let's take a look at it. what can we expect? i think first during training camp it's a day by day process with sam bradford. you have to see how the knee responds to practice. remember it's hot down in south philadelphia. and chip kelly's offense runs

white hot very, very fast. >> the other big piece of the eagles offense this guy, demarco murray coming off a season where he rushed for 1,845 yards, most in the nfl on 392 carries seventh most all time. everyone wondered what that workload will do to his production this year. especially playing for a team that plays as fast as the eagles do. >> i don't think that demarco murray will get anywhere near the number of carries he had last year with the dallas cowboys and that's a good thing and that's a bad thing. it's a good thing because you want him fresh and whole in december. last year the eagles offense ran out of gas. they ran 80 plays a game. demarco murray's never done that in his career. >> all right, if you go online you can order the official cole hamels no-hitter t-shirt and it will ship in one to two business days. the question, will cole hamels still be a philly by the time you receive yours? with the trade deadline this friday

espn is reporting that the rangers and the dodgers are the front runners to get the phillies ace. both teams had scouts in attendance at his no-hitter against the cubs on saturday. the reports say don't be surprised if we have to wait right up until the deadline for a deal to get done. phils hoping the team overpays under pressure. here's espn's sam christian's take on it. >> for the moment these things change every moment. the rangers and dodgers seem to be the leaders for cole hamels but i think the dodgers have to be the leader and again, the dodgers it's not good enough for them to just make the playoffs. they have to do something get to the world series and maybe win it. cole hamels can do that but they're not giving up their top prospects. corey seeger the young short stop is not leaving the dodgers for cole hamels. >> hamels is scheduled to start on thursday the day before the trade deadline so we shall see what happens. phillies by the way are off today. guys, back to you in the studio. >> okay. >> thank you jamie. we have breaking news to tell you about from west

kensington. chopper is live right now. there was a car that hit a pedestrian here just a few minutes ago about 48 minutes ago to be exact at 5 o'clock. it happened at north mascher street and west tuskalum street. police found a man who had been hit. he was rushed to temple university hospital. police still there investigating. we don't know whatever circumstances led to that car hitting the pedestrian but someone was at least injured enough to go get checked out. we are told he is in critical condition and we don't know the specifics of his injuries. we'll be right back. oh my gosh, it's the guy from last night. what?! can i jump on your wi-fi? yeah, you can try it. hey! i had a really good time last night. yeah, me too. the only thing is that... the only thing is what? what's the only thing? oh my gosh he's married. he's a kleptomaniac. he's a pyromaniac. he's a total maniac. hey! hey! go back to your wife you sociopath! leave slow internet behind.

>> my good friends adam joseph who has a beautiful swimming pool is here. >> wow. >> you look very nice, nice tie. >> you think so. >> you're going to need something. >> subtle. >> new haircut? very nice. >> actually i'm due for a haircut. thanks for trying. >> no problem. >> take look at double scan live radar. monica i'll see you over the week. around the region we've had app couple downpours pop in the northeast section of philadelphia and parts of new jersey. most of the area is dry this afternoon but you can see this little downpour that has welled up near browns mills in the eastern part of burlington county there's the border into ocean county to the north of 70 and lakehurst road. no lightning with this but releasing a quick amount of rain here between range road

and downtown browns mills. again, not a thunderstorm but something we will follow and there could be one of these -- one or more popping up here or there as we go through the evening hours. but overall it's more muggy than it was over the weekend. we've got that wind coming in off of the ocean. 78 in cape may the same for ocean city. margate 77 right now surf city at 79 degrees. inland locations we're at 85 for trenton philadelphia. that's down from the high today of 86 for philadelphia, 86 in allentown and the poconos upper 70's while the state of delaware right around that 80-degree mark. we had a lot of clouds throughout the day today and again on and off sunshine with that round of rain and thunderstorms there we saw in the wee hours of the morning but this afternoon it's really scattered 'cause most of the energy that pushed through during the overnight hours has now pushed to the south and off the coast. and as you look to the north and west pittsburgh and bev low a decent amount of dry air. so tonight it's partly cloudy, it's warm, it's muggy 65 to 73 for your overnight

lows. and then as we look at high pressure that's really in control, there's two high pressures double barrel high, one to the northwest, one to the southeast for your to us. it's mostly sunny hot and humid although the humidity will drop a little bit tomorrow compared to today. 92 degrees. it will feel close to 93 in the afternoon and then wednesday could be the hottest day of the year so far of 96. but not the hottest heat index because the atmosphere again is a little drier than it was the previous weekend when we hit 105 a week ago on sunday. association it will be close to 100 here on wednesday with a combination of that air temperature and the humidity. down the shore is the place to be this week. 73 the ocean temperature. the air temperature 82. lots of sunshine, humid with that afternoon sea breeze going to work to cool you off. as we look at the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, hazy hot humid tuesday. 92 degrees. and then dangerous heat on wednesday, up to 96 but again that humidity will be low enough that we should stay at

or just below 100 for that heat index and then on thursday, humid with an afternoon thunderstorm likely with the next front of 94 degrees. and we stay at 90 or above into the upcoming weekend at the beginning of next week. so, a true summer sizzle and this could be at least a seven day heat wave on the way for the longest yet so far this summer season. >> goodness. >> okay. >> wow. >> see you on the weekend. >> i was going to say i want in at this pool,s. >> why don't you guys come, too. i'll give you the address. >> he's never been so popular. thanks adam. >> now to a story of a nine-year-old girl who changed the life of her young friend by turning a hobby into a lucrative fundraiser. bethany walker sold $37,000 worth of homemade bracelets on facebook all to help her best friend ann-marie in arkansas. she suffers from a rare disease that causes her skin to blister in response to touch or minor injuries. the bracelets by bethany donation drive pulled in enough money to pay for a new

salt water pool in ann-marie's backyard. >> there really is no cure but it will just help her feel better. >> we have a race. like who can swim the fast it. >> i normally win by a little. >> that is friendship, right. and they're only nine. ann-marie took her first swim in the new pool just last month. her mom said she can now play with friends and family in a way she was never able to before.
