"action news" reporter john rawlins live in wynnefield, this afternoon, with details on today's announcement. john? >> reporter: well, word of the resignation came down shortly before 1:00 today. brian, chaka fattah's original plan was to stick it out until -- and not resign until

october. now that outraged some and upset some democrats on capitol hill. we're told fattah was informed last night that there were enough votes to expel him from congress. it would have been a bipartisan effort. no -- though he could not vote on issues or committee work, the congressman wanted to stay on the job for roughly 100 days more. this morning, the new leader of the city gop highly critical of fattah's gamut to step down on october 3rd. >> the day before he get sentenced. i believe he wants to collect a paycheck for the next 3 1/2 months. >> reporter: to include the lower main line, germantown, and chestnut hill. many constituents we talked to prior to today's resignation felt it was time for fattah to go. >> i think he should resign my now, bought pointless to have somebody in position where they can't be effective. >> reporter: this woman wondered if fattah toughed it out, would he use that time to redeem himself? >> hopefully, he can try to make

a difference before he goes. >> okay. >> i would recommend that. >> reporter: but faced with expulsion, fattah opted to call it quits today. >> i personally think it's the right thing for him to do. he used taxpayer dollars for his own personal gain. >> reporter: longtime fattah friend ed rendell at a dnc host committee event this afternoon agreed. the sooner, rather than later departure was appropriate. >> i think the congressman did the right thing. it's almost impossible with that cloud hanging over your head to effectively represent your constituents, so i think he did the right thing. >> reporter: another potential embarrassment avoided with the resignation, fattah is no longer a dnc superdel ghit. as for constituents, there are thousands of constituents. beer told a capitol hill and office behind me will remain staffed for the duration. no congressman, but there will be a congressional staff available for the constituents of the second district. live in wynnefield, john

rawlins, "channel 6 action news." alicia? >> thank you. two major rulings from the u.s. supreme court. first, the big one today. the justices blocking president barack obama's controversial immigration plan, which would so shielded millions living in the u.s. illegally from deportation. now, this came down to a tie vote, a tie that could not be broken because the ninth vacant seat there has yet to be filled. that deadlock effectively killed the plan for the duration of the president's term. the president reeathing today, pointing the finger at congress and he had some pretty strong words this election year. >> pretending we can deport 11 million people or build a wall without spending tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money is abetting what is really just factually incorrect. it's not going to work. it's not good for this country. it's a fantasy. the second big ruling, the

court did rule in favor of affirmative action today. they upheld the university of texas' admissions program which does take race into account when admitting the final quarter of incoming freshmen. that suit stems from a white texas resident who claims that she was rejected while african-american applicants with lower grades were let in. the justices ruled against her, upholding the texas program by a 4-3 vote. brian and sharrie. all right alicia. thank you. most of you missed oud on the rain today but there's still a chance for pop-up storms as the night goes on. >> meteorologist adam joseph is outside with a look at the forecast. >> you can feel the humidity in the atmosphere that would help support a downpour or thunderstorm and those temperatures running above 80 this afternoon. as you look at the number right now, it's 83 in philadelphia. a little cooler in washington, 79, where they did get some storms early this morning. 73 in buffalo. so we're one of the warmest spots here in the mid-atlantic with new york city just shy of

us at 81. dew points are still slightly humid at 64 degrees in philadelphia, but that tropical feeling is now pushed down to the south washington, charleston, west virginia, 74 for a dew point, while to our north, some drier air is moving in with those dew points in the 40s and the 50s. tornado watch in the ohio valley. severe thunderstorm watch in virginia. so, again, this is all just to our south and thankfully missed us during the morning hours. but there is a batch south of buffalo that we'll be watching as this tries toive. ot in from the north and west to clip part fles our area. so in that accuweather forecast, we'll talk about those spotty showers and downpours with future tracker. also, a sunny, warm weekend is on tap, and temperatures will be climbing back to 90. we'll have the timing on that coming up, sharrie, in that full accuweather forecast. >> sounds good, adam. thank you. it is the day sixers fans have been waiting for. draft day is finally here. and the team will have the chance to press the start button on the future. jeff skversky is live in

brooklyn. and, jeff, we know they -- the sixers have the overall pick at the top, but what happens after that is probably anyone's guess. guys, for the first time in 20 years, the sixers have the number one pick in the draft. ben simmons wasn't even alife back in 1996 when they drafted alan iverson, but hopefully, simmons can now become the newest answer to the sixers' problems. they won only 47 games over the last three years. ben simmons has been waiting for this moment tonight. his entire high of. he says he was 4 or five years old when he dreamed about playing in the nba. he wrote that dream on a piece of paper. he still has that paper. and it will become a reality tonight. he says he feels more comfortable with brett brown because his dad played for brett in us a trail qua. he's known brown his entire

philadelphia police are still looking for the man who engaged in a shoot-out that littered a felton wim neighborhood with more than two dozen bullets. police say the man began shooting on the 100 block of west wyoming at 2:00 this morning. an off-duty security guard returned fire while the gunman jumped into a car and continued shooting through the windows.

detectives recovered that vehicle. they are now trying to find the suspect and two people who were in that car with him. the security guard was treated for a gunshot wound and was released from the hospital. nearly 200 democrats have ended their unprecedented protest for gun control in the wake of the orlando massacre. they spent nearly 25 hours on the house floor and used social media to broadcast their sit-in. they said they would not leave until they got a vote on bills to strengthen background checks and ban gun sales to the people on the no-fly list. although they abandoned their position without a vote, they vowed to come back. republican speaker paul ryan branded this a publicity stunt and dismissed congress until july 5th. here at the big board now, and a look at the closing numbers. a nice end to the day considering the markets were a little jittery throughout the day. we're showing some signs of optimism all on the heels of a vote that's happening right now across the pond to determine

whether or not britain will stay in the europe even union or leave. it's all being called brexit -- briggsty or british exit and there are fears that if that happens, it could tip the world's economy into recession and that could affect every american's 401(k). >> i think we're stronger in the european union. >> reporter: more than 46 million voters in the u.k. today are weighing in. on one side, those like that voter who think they should retain their place in the 28-member european union. british prime minister david ramron has been making place for it saying they will be less rich and less safe if they cut themselves off from the eu's free trade and shared security. those in favor of that briggsty argue that bring leaving, they can regain control of their borders and their economy. today, it is raining in london. that could affect voter turnout, which is critical in what's

become a complicated issue. >> it's perfectly possible that england will vote to leave but london, as the capital soit and scotland and northern ireland, will all vote to remain and ultimately will outweigh the views of the english as a whole. >> reporter: so again, the voting is going on right now. the results are expected by early tomorrow. until then, the markets across the globe are influx, although we did close strongly here in the u.s. and if this is any indicator, the british pound also surged today. more optimism there, that they will vote to stay in the eu. but there are no exit polls in britain. so we'll have to just wait for the final votes to be cast and for the big news tomorrow morning. >> yeah. and as you mention polls heading into today showed it extremely close. >> reporter: very close. >> thanks very much. time for another check of the accuweather forecast. >> let's send it over to meteorologist adam joseph who has a look at the rest of the day and the weekend and the garden behind you. >> we have a lot of the things to talk about, i guess.

near new york city and boston. so we'll take any drink of water we can get. and unfortunately, there's not a whole lot to try to track here over the next four or five days. but for tonight, it's rather muggy. if you get one of those showers, downpours or thunderstorms moving from the northwest, call yourselves lucky. 67 in philadelphia, 59 in allentown. 66 in wilmington. and 68 for cape may. future tracker 6 will show a lot of that will try to fall apart, but again through 9:00 tonight, still could deal with sol of those scattered storms south of philadelphia. continues tomorrow morning. southern new jersey and delaware while we're mainly sunny north of philadelphia. and some clouds will linger, maybe a scattered shower west of philadelphia tomorrow afternoon, but overall, it looks pretty dry for friday and dropping humidity as well. so setting up for your getaway forecast on friday, at the shore tomorrow, mostly sunny, 75 degrees. 84 in the city with a spotty shower. and lots of sun in the poconos with low humidity at 76.

first. so it's nice to have something that spills over the side of th- >> you want a spiller. >> a spiller. and then -- >> you want something tall, right? >> something dra matt ping now, you could have either -- either that or you could have maybe a banana. this is a banana with a nice red blast to it. so we have these hot and humid summers, so why not pick tropical plants that thrive in those conditions. >> and they're usually very beautiful also. >> yes. so you get this effect that lasts all summer, and they just get bigger and better. the shade plants normally don't as much, but these particular ones, you're lucky because they do -- like this type of wax begonia, this will last all summer. >> okay. so you can actually a lot of bright color in the shade. >> yep, yep. >> by picking a begonia or one of these new beginian patience. >> make sure it stays well watered. >> because they dry out. i would assume quickly because there's no much soil. >> good point. and you can do a drip irrigation

or put a saucer underneath. >> thank you very much. beautiful container we got there in a matter of three seconds. and i say it all the time. i literally could listen to her talk all the time. and brian, and harry, she said weeds were the latest and greatest thing in your garden, i think i would believe her. she said check your potted plants every day because they do dry out quickly. and in conditions like this you will want twirt them. >> very nice. thank you. up next, a police officer goes to the hospital after an accident involving a septa bus. >> and coming up at 4:30, the latest on a fire that's burned through hundreds of acres through mcguire ft. dix base. and inspiring and invigorating, not just the class of 2016 but their parents and everyone in the room. the word of wisdom from a camden county team next.

they're moving from the northwest to the south and east. so they could clip parts of lancaster county or chester county. if they survive. again, could be a few spotty storms here this evening. but for the most part, it is just muggy and it's average, 83 right now in philadelphia. the normal high is 84. 84 in trenton. 81 in millville. 82 in reading. 82 in wilmington. and a bit of a sea breeze along the immediate shore with temperatures in the 70s. early this morning, all the severe weather pushed just to our south. baltimore and washington. south of philadelphia did get hit by some rain early this morning. but we've seen to the north and west again a couple of areas trying to develop a watch. those but tornado watch continues in parts of the ohio valley. future tracker 6, 10:00 tonight, again, some of those scattered downpours around can especially south and west of philadelphia. if you're north, north and east or east, more than likely, you're going staying dry here had evening and overnight. there still could be a scattered

shower south of the city tomorrow morning 7 a.m. as that boundary is slowly progressing from the north to the south. and it somewhat stalls here tomorrow afternoon south and west of philadelphia where there could be a scattered shower tomorrow afternoon. but overall, the flavor of your friday is less humid and a mixture of sunshine and clouds. your weekend warmth saturday and sunday, high pressure will be building overhead and moving east of new england by sunday. this means an easterly wind. it means a lot of sunshine here. and temperatures averaging around 90 degrees. so it's best to call a friend if they have a pool or head to the shore or the poconos to kind of break away from that 90 degrees inland. in fact, we head to the shore at smithville. we have meteorologist melissa magee finding a few friends there, and not only you are combining being down the shore but shopping and food. it's your kind of day. >> reporter: that's right. this is one-stop shopping. adam, you have been here

before? -- have you been down here before? >> ten plus years down the shore, i've never been there. you're teaching me something here. >> reporter: this is a gem. just to the north of ac, my friend. it is a hidden gem. we're going to get to the forecast because it's actually going to be a really good weekend. on friday, we have plenty of good sunshine as high pressure stays in control. a bit of a sea breeze as well with a high temperature coming in at 75 degrees. and then for the start of the weekend on saturday, it is sunny and pleasant with a high coming in at 76. stay sunny and nice as we get into sunday with a high temperature in the upper 70s and the water temperature right now, 63. but something to keep in mind is that there is a moderate risk for rip current so if you're swimming in the ocean, you probably want to stay close to the lifeguards. and also, we've got some very special friends. they are visiting from milan, italy, and, adam, we've got alexandra here who has something very special she wants to say to you. go ahead. >> adam, ciao.

>> reporter: you did hear that? she said adam, ciao. >> right. >> reporter: bye. >> ciao, right? italian. >> reporter: yeah, ciao! >> give 'em a high-five for me. looking pretty good. welcome to the area. enjoy, melissa. if you're heading up to the poconos over the upcoming weekend, also looking pretty nice here. lots of sunshine, friday, saturday, and sunday. and comfortable with low humidity, 76 friday, 78 on saturday, and low 80s on sunday. as we look at the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, it's looking good. again, partly sunny tomorrow, a stray shower at 84. and then it's warm on saturday of 87, turning hot but still low humidity on sunday of 90 degrees. clouds increase monday, maybe a scattered storm of 88. hot with some afternoon storms tuesday of 90 degrees. and then we quiet down here wednesday, thursday, sun and clouds, low humidity, with temperatures in the middle 80s. nice to see folks from overseas coming to a nice little tight-knit community that we're learning about here. >> cool spot. right down the street from where we got married, and it's ream one of my favorite spots.

glad we're shining a spotlight on if. >> nice. adam, thank you. coming up, we're talking about hybrid grills in "what's the deal?." there's one place where america's pastime is preserved for all time. ♪ and that's not the only thing you can only find in new york state. ♪ discover something one of a kind in new york. ♪

when it comes to grilling, the debate over gas versus charcoal may be a thing of the past. these days some grills can do both. nydia han has details. >> reporter: some of us swear by the smoky flavor of charcoal. others like the quick convenience of firing up a gas grill. hybrid grills promise to keep both camps happy. "consumer reports" just tested two. the $300 gas to coal and the $500 dinah glow, the char broil looks like a regular gas grill until you slide in this tray for charcoal. >> it's convenient because you can can use a gas burner to ignite the car control. but us -- charcoal but because it only has one cooking surface, you can only cook with gas or

charcoal, not both at the same time. >> reporter: the dinah glow is basically two grills in one so you can cook both ways simultaneously. that means each cooking surface is relatively small. "consumer reports" ran temperature tests using thermocouplers along the grill's surface. >> we found they got hotter in gas mode which is important for searing a nice piece of meat. they didn't get as hot in charcoal mode, and after 30 minutes, the charcoal started to drop in temperature. >> reporter: so which tastes better? "consumer reports" asked this expert tasters to compare burgers cooked on the charcoal grill with burgers cooked on a gas grill. a few of the panelists noticed the smoky note in the charcoal burgers. but little difference when served on a bun with toppings. at least there's a way to please them at your next barbecue. both the dine and glow and

charcoal have coated cast iron grades and electronic igniters. the char broil also has a side borner. i'm nydia han, "channel 6 action news." >> i might have to use my grill this weekend. >> yeah. >> all right. we'll do it. finally, at 4:00, habitat for humanity celebrated a big milestone today in south philadelphia. the organization restore hit $1 million in sales this morning. some of the eagles cheerleaders were there to help mark the occasion. all of the proceeds go directly toward building habitat homes. the customer who spent the 1 million-dollar got a 100-dollar gift card right there in the store and restore is celebrates its first anniversary. >> and that will do it for "action news" at fear today. now for sharrie williams, alicia vitarelli, adam joseph, i'm brian taff. hope you'll join me tonight and every night for a full hour of "action news at 10:00" on phl17. now here's rick williams to look at what's ahead at 5:00.
