lights are down in the wells fargo certainty, video is playing, you are getting a bird eye view outside our suite of the wells fargo center, home of the dnc, a huge night of speeches including vice-president, joe biden. hillary clinton's running mate tim kaine, and, president barack obama. but the hot topic thus far has been the political shots fired on both sides of the aisle. >> lets go down to the convention floor now with our natasha brown who is standing by with two people, natasha. >> good evening. we are here on a very busy convention floor right now at wells fargo center standing by with sal son young, former advisor to george bush and don feather man, mayor of brad dock pennsylvania, i got a tip for pennsylvania. let's start by talking about this heavy hitter line up tonight. we have vice-president speaking, we have tim kaine, again, introducing himself to the country again. also president obama. what do we expect to hear from
5:15 pm
this line up. >> line up tonight is meant to present hillary clinton as she would be commander in chief. they will talk about, i expect the respect tonight to talk about his service with her and how she has served and add a advised him and how she would be as commander in chief. i think for some of standard supporters it will the not be enough and too little, too late. >> i think that the point of tonight is to blow the roof off of this place. we have barack obama one of the best speakers of all time, we have joe by hone can bring people together and you'll have tim kaine people will be excited and enthusiastic. as a former sanders supporter during my racy like to say that party unity is here, we're really coming together and most of us are embracing, and know we're stronger together. >> i was going to ask we are three days in the convention, and, disgruntled bernie supporters still out there, of course, as this party is stressing unity. are we any closer then we were three days ago. >> i think michelle obama's speech was magnificent,
5:16 pm
senator sanders during his call for unity helped heel things and what i'm about from now to novice telling anybody who will listen in my part of the state that if you do not get behind secretary clinton you run risk of helping elect donald trump president. >> republicans are certainly gauging what is happening here at democratic national convention. trump raising eyebrows with comments about alleging that russia should hack into clinton's e-mails does this hurt him at this point. >> i want to respond to something the good mayor, i think democratic party is in discourse. tim kaine is speaking. he described himself as boring for sanders supporters in the room it is another disappointment tonight and more of the democratic party is on display tonight. he is an entrench democrat running with a entrenched democrat, more of the the status quo. >> i think in a year you are selling donald trump on the other side boring, stable, and qualified will sell, and sell big, i think that is why the one of the many reason
5:17 pm
secretary clinton chose tim kaine i'm exited to hear him tonight for sure. >> reporter: thank you both so much for your perspective. we will get back to you later. that is very late on the convention floor, ukee and jessica, back to you. >> natasha a, thanks very much thank you to all three. cbs news contributor bob schieffer will be joining us once again, we are so happen bye that to talk about this and much more. >> in the meantime lets go back in the studios and nicole , nicole. >> as i know dnc protesters and road restrictions have been causing traffic issues all week. meisha johnson joins with us a look at the afternoon rush, hi there. >> yah, that is one thing for sure it is affecting our morning commute. it is affecting our afternoon commute and evening commute for sure. what we are looking at is one of our checkpoint, 95 north at platt bridge. you can see how busy, a steady stream, police pulled off to the shoulder. a as we go through we have lost that left lane at all checkpoints and you will also by the way, give yourself some
5:18 pm
extra time if you have a late flight. you'll need it. this is looking substantial. no vehicles over five tons, passing these checkpoints. another checkpoint is 95 south at the vine. this is what you are looking at right now 95 south at girard leading up to that checkpoint. by the way there was an accident here earlier. that was slowing down a bit. that moved off the to the shoulder. this is what you are looking at right now 95 south at girard leading up to that second checkpoint, but third checkpoint however is looking okay, take a look at this eastbound vine at 59 between broad street and vine leading up to that eastbound vine, checkpoint looking good. this is the best one of all three. alternate to those taking i-95 , for those moving in the northbound direction. platt bridge, 26th the to the vine, to the schuylkill, then reenter i-95. if you need it moving from the northbound side you just reverse this order. dnc closures i will talk about at 6:00 o'clock. nicole, back over to you. joined by kate, so we're kind of moving out of the heat
5:19 pm
wave a little bit. >> yeah, i think. >> but now we're talking about flash flood watches. >> yes. we will go from one problem to another problem, basically here nicole. we will end the heat wave tomorrow. tomorrow looks like the last day. as soon as heat wave end tomorrow afternoon flash flood watch will kick in. something like what we sawlood today down the shore we had heavier storms moving through earlier today and they brought heavy rain. we saw it on monday night these storms are coming through dumping torrential downpours because is there so much moisture in the atmosphere for these storms to work with. we have more numerous storms coming through friday anyone of which could produce heavy rainfall experiences. heavy rainfall events across the area lets look down the shore where things have cleared out, this evening. this is live neighborhood network on margate, sea gulls flying by, people out on the beach, not every place got heavier storms and they have moved off the coast so that is good news and everything is staying south. this evening, is looking fine if you want to get outside in the city, warm, steamy, but it is dry, you can see that storm moving through atlantic, cape
5:20 pm
may counties earlier has pushed out to sea and skies have cleared, but temperatures are still, in the 90's. 92 degrees in philadelphia a. ninety in allentown. eighty-seven in millville. ninety-three in wilmington. this is day six of our current heat wave. current dew .63. we're not in the oppressive insufferable range but between humid and steamy. when we have a temperature of 92, dew points in the 60's it is not a comfortable day to go for a long walk or jog but it could be worse and it has been worse in this stretch. as we head through tomorrow, even in the weekend we will get a push of humid air from the south and all this moisture denoted by red shading there. that is pushing in along slow moving cold front and that will bring us much needed rain but the problem is these showers and storms that we will see, we will see here tomorrow night into friday, anyone of these, here, that one there tomorrow afternoon could produce locally intense downpours, with heavy rainfall rates. friday morning, another batch of steady rain moving by to our north. we have a threat for severe
5:21 pm
weather off to the south tomorrow afternoon, and then, that flash flood watch kicks in tomorrow evening and then continues through friday evening, and an indication anyone of these storms could produce a inch or two of rain in the course of an hour or so leaving to the risk for flash flooding. we will talk about more of the flash flood threats next half an hour, otherwise, tomorrow again 93 with scattered thunderstorm, showers and storms on friday, cooler but not much less humid and only reason it is cooler because it is cloudy, damp on and off, it is not a vast improvement but we will get rid of the 90's. >> you have had your work cut out. >> yes. >> last week or so. >> all right. kate, thanks. still ahead on "eyewitness news" a nice neighborhood full of vacationers absolutely stunned when a man is tied up in his own garage. coming up who walk in on that crime and scared the criminals away. hi, don. all right. we have an eagles starter out with an injury, who is it? we will have his story next in i'm hillary clinton and i approved this message.
