Dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. Philadelphia police are looking for the man who broke into a popular old city restaurant and stole from an employee.

In florida, they are spraying from coast to coast an allout war to combat the zika virus. While most people are doing what they can to avoid florida mosquitoes, congressman david jolly brought a container of them from his state, 100 mosquitoes to the house floor today, to express the urgency. Now, while the mosquitoes in that container are zikafree, he asked lawmakers to imagine living in fear of every single mosquito bite. He condemned congress for failing to pass legislation providing 1. 1 billion to help fight the virus. The World Health Organization has called zika a Global Public Health Emergency and the cdc says its almost out of money. But right now, a funding bill which has been approved by the house, is still stalled in the senate. It failed again for a third time with democrats blocking it in dispute over restrictions on planned parenthood. This is the reason for the urgency. This is the reason for the fear. My message to both parties and both chambers, for this month, its simple and straightforward, zika is not a game. In fact, seven new cases were just transmitted in miami and at fort brag, five soldiers are now being treated for the virus as well. Experts agree that funding is critical especially for expectant mothers, but, again, sharrie, that funding still stalling. Yeah. The urgency is there somehow. Alicia, thank you. Tech giants apple has unveiled its newest gadgets. Today was the companys fall launch event in san francisco, the most anticipated reveal, though, was the iphone 7, the biggest change is that it will come without a headphone jack. Instead, iphone owners will listen with wireless bluetooth headsets or with earphones that can plug into the phones digital lightning port. And the new version of apples smart watch can be worn while swimming. Apple designers created a way to get water out of the watchs speaker. So for series 2, we redesigned the speaker system and at the end of your workout, we used the speaker itself to eject the water. Well, there you have it. The series 2 an watch will start at 369. Time now for another check of the accuweather forecast. Lets head over to meteorologist adam joseph keeping an eye for us today. Hi, adam. We are heating things up. Were going to be back in the 90s today. It already hit 90 in some of those northwestern suburbs. That extends thursday, friday, saturday. A little hayes in the atmosphere, kind of sharing that sunshine with clouds above. Terrors are really cooking especially inland. Reading 90 degrees. 92 in wilmington. 89 for the last theft hours in three hours in philadelphia. At the shore, 80 beach haven, 82 in cape may, and you may say, wow, theyre enjoying the sea breeze. Its not the case. Its a land breeze. Theyve been dealing with clouds along the shore with hermine. And with that land breeze, once again, on social media, many feeks telling me that the horse flies are horrible at the shore much like yesterday. As we look at satellite and radar, theres that spin. Hermine is finally pushing off to the east and will move away. You can see a decent amount of dry air in play for our area, and then we have some thunderstorms to the north and west, northern and central parts of pennsylvania along the boundly that could clip for our Western Areas a little later this evening, between 7 00 and 9 00 if you live in western chester county, northern new castle county, berks county or even the Lehigh Valley, you could get a quick downpour or a thunderstorm. But philadelphia areas to the east, is dry, they sink to the south here, a little later tonight, about 12 30 in the morning, well just have some clouds hanging around. But overall, the stars will share the sky as well. So 66 in allentown, 73 philadelphia, near 70, millville, the boardwalk and cape may. Its a wam, humid warm humid night with that thundershower in the western suburbs. Tomorrow were going to be near records. Were going to be watching philadelphia, reading, trenton, wilmington, and the Atlantic City airport. These are some pretty high numbers. We may tie or break some of these. All the records were set back in 1938, but its going to feel a whole lot worse tomorrow afternoon compared to what that air temperature is. Could feel like 100 on thursday 101 on thursday, 100 in reading, the same for wilmington, dover 100, at the shore, upper 90s. Again, with a lack of a sea breeze, and as we get friday, its a little better. You knock off a couple of degrees. Feeling like 98 in the city of philadelphia. 98 at the shore as well. So brutal no matter where we are the next two days. And then these numbers jump again at the beginning of the weekend. As we look at that fourday forward forecast here, oppressive humidity and record heat thursday with 96 degrees. Hot and humid on friday. The humidity comes down the tad with the air temperature, 94. But still very uncomfortable. Then 96 again on saturday. The heat indices back in the low 100s. And then a cold front comes in early sunday with a quick shower sunday morning returning sun in the afternoon and dropping those temperatures to 88 degrees. Quite a brutal heat wave on the way. Sevenday in the next halfhour. All right, adam. Thank you. Well, a hospital, local radio stations and the philly phanatic what do they have in common . And what are they teaming up for today and how you can help. Plus nasty accident involving a dump truck on one of the areas biggest roads. Weve got the latest on the wreck and the efforts to clean it up. And if you are a hopeless romantic and fan of the notebook, youll want to meet this couple and their secret to happily ever after coming up in big talker. Could taste just as great made with turkey. Thousands stepped into the jennieo tasting booth to find out. With just one bite, they knew. Now its your turn to make the switch. Hillary clinton im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message.
