consistently but they're still not at our goal, zero. people don't have to die in fire and the best way not to die is to get that early alert and to get out. >> since june, this campaign has helped install more than 500 smoke alarms in high risk neighborhoods. a new mural in center city displays some of the great of the names in phillies history along with the team's iconic moments and some of the players future in the mural along with the fans all gathered today for a special dedication. we were there earlier to catch up with all the excitement. >> two one go phillies.

development and $400 billion, the new f35 firefighter jet is finally combat ready. the u.s. marines have a squadron of f35's fully operational. other military branches will follow suit later. the f35 was supposed to be ready three years ago but it had a series of expensive and time consuming setbacks. the program is expected to run up a bill of more than trillion dollars over its lifetime. scientists meantime they have taken a huge step toward eradicating the ebola virus. an ebola vaccine trial was reportedly 100 percent successful. the trial involved more than 4,000 people. it was conducted during an outbreak in guinea. nearly 28,000 people have contracted ebola in west africa since march of 2014. more than 11,000 have died. and firefighters in california are still struggling to contain a series of huge fires across the golden state.

one firefighter has died, hundreds of residents have been forced to evacuate their homes as thousands of crews continue to battle the flames. what you're seeing here is video of the rocky fire. one of the larger fires that burned more than 22,000 acres. high temperatures and gusting winds are making it even harder to contain that fire. now, you know it's hot in texas when the heat shatters glass. federal highway safety officials they have now received hundreds of complaints about shattering sun roofs and in some of these cases the sunroofs broke while cars were moving sending small pieces of glass flying into drivers and passengers. federal regulators they're investigating this problem. boy, that is scary. >> now you have to worry about hail now you have to worry about heat. >> we don't have texas heat. >> we're not dealing with anything like that. no shattering of windows across the delaware valley. >> thank goodness. >> going to be hot for the rest of the weekend. i don't hear too many

complaints out there. i guess the humidity is somewhere on the low side. maybe we're just used to it. let's take down to the shore. live look at atlantic city right now as we zoom into the pier there and nice weekend on tap across the jersey shore. good first start to the weekend and a repeat once again tomorrow, we'll be in the sunshine, comfortable temperatures highs in the mid 80's, nice breeze coming off the water. take a trip down to ac, enjoy the afternoon tomorrow. let's talk about the month of july. it ended on a hot note but over all for the month when you average all the temperatures we're only 1.1 degrees above average. if you remember back early in the month right around the fourth of july we did have some cool days. we could use in rainfall. we're below average for that, 1.19-inches below. highest temperature was 95 degrees. we hit that twice in the month of july. our heat waves so far this year, this is number three that we're dealing with. the first one came in late june 21st through 23rd. we had another three day heat

wave july 19th through 21st. now we're dealing with at least five days, we hit the fifth day today and potential to go eight days with this current heat wave. it's going to be close tomorrow. i think we have a shot at reaching 90 degrees. how many 90 degrees days so far this year? we're at 19 now. we're starting to stack up. back in 2010 that was a hot summer. we had 55 davis 90 degrees or higher. 83 at the airport but surrounding suburbs actually starting to feel pretty good. we're in the lower and mid 70's with somewhat low humidity levels and look at that state college pittsburgh in the 60's this hour. we're not going the see this cool air moving into philadelphia but some suburbs will drop into the 60's through the overnight. we are dry on storm scan3. the exception is down just to our south in sussex county delaware. we had strong thunderstorms rolling through moving off shore dewey beach rehoboth beach bethany beach and it did prompt a flood advisory with that slow moving thunderstorms but things should improve over

the next half hour to hour down along the delaware beaches. i'm going the call it pleasant tomorrow. hume levels low but still hot and then we turn steamy for monday. that's when we'll see our next best chance for a shower or thunderstorm but enjoy the high pressure over us right now. if you have outdoor plans that means mainly sunny skies for your sunday. monday more humid. here's that front that could trigger off a shower or storm mainly late in the day. tomorrow morning looks good into the afternoon lots of sunshine in our forecast. monday some clouds start to build late in the day. it's late afternoon-evening we'll see the threat for scattered showers maybe a thunderstorm. hitting the ballpark tomorrow, why not, phillies are hot right now. 86 degrees in the sunshine that first pitch against the braves 1:35. overnight mostly clear comfortable 70 for center city, 60's in the suburbs. hot day on sunday but still not humid, mostly sunny skies with a high near 90. here's the shore forecast. 84 degrees in the sunshine. water temperature drops a little bit. we're in the 60's right now off the coast of atlantic city.

>> ♪ >> all right. pat it's tough to see cole hamels not in a phillies uniform. >> it really is weird to see him with that texas t instead of a phillies p. letting go of a three time all-star and continuing the building process was probably the right thing for the phillies to do but it doesn't make these pictures of cole hamels any easier to look at. here is cole hamels in his first start with the rangers rocking a different shade of red. started this game with two no hit innings. however in the third the giants strike. it's brandon belt a two run home run to center field. and no hit bid well over by

that point. hamels not his best and went seven and two-thirds gave up seven hits and five runs. he leaves to a nice ovation from his new fans and that's a standing o in the tenth. seven-seven. pat burrell hanging out for alumni weekend shooting hot dogs at human beings and carrying a purse. the phillies remain red hot. they cannot be stopped in the fourth. cameron rough unloads a monster home run. that puts the phillies up five-two. odubel herrera it goes upper deck. that makes it six-two. part of a five run sixth inning. freddy galvis a three run home run. the phillies win 12-two over atlanta. their 12th win in the last 14. chase utley begins a rehab assignment tomorrow in lehigh valley. eagles training camp begins tomorrow but chip kelly was not satisfied with his roster. he made a move tonight trading cornerback brandon boykin to

the steelers for a conditioner fifth round pick. boykin stated publicly in june that he was tired of not starting so he finds his way out the door. he could get his wish in pittsburgh as a starter. drafted in the fourth round back in 2012 but doesn't quite fit the clip mold of lamper defensive backs that can be moved around the definite. looks as though he eric row will be in line to start for the eagles. perhaps the biggest signing of the union took the field tonight as barnetta made his debut against the red bulls. he played in germany's top league in. one-nothing new york. to the 73rd minute. leto rockets home the tying goal. that's his 50th in the mls. one minute later brothers

don't shake hands brothers got to hug. the write-phillips brothers connect. sean assisting brother bradleyly red bulls up three-one. winning the triple crown not you enough for american pharaoh to sit back and relax. he's running in the william hill haskell invitational in monmouth park the the race purse worth $1.7 million. phillies own boxing star danny garcia winds in a ninth round tko. 31 and zero. >> nice. >> that is aweso

>> i'm thinking dave is probably going to be the one taking that one on. it's a deadly neuromuscular disease that has no effective treatment or cure. last year the ice bucket challenge raised more than $115 million.
