let's get first look at the forecast with meteorologist, katie fehlinger, live on the cbs-3 skydeck. >> brooke, i feel like the fact that we are finally breaking the heatwave, at least early this morning, was one of those headlines in the weather center that we had to bury because dealing with such heavy rain. now the sun is shining, it is still a tad humid, but it is not as hot. so, it is going to feel, i think, a lot more comfortable for many of you, still quite warm, summer after all. that said, i want to take you back in time, look at the rainfall totals that did come in, very short list obviously but highlight being some of the highlights of the amounts that we did see come in. sea isle city picking up 1.8 inches, pick up shy of three, in dover, delaware, a testament to the fact that the bulk of the really heavy rain ended up falling primarily south of philadelphia. but now you can see, looking at three hour loop here, it is out of here, now, we may ends up with lingering shower certainly, but overall, skies have cleared out, you have got handful of clouds here and there, but it is nice bright afternoon, for most of you. and because it is still just touch humid, because we are

seeing the clouds break, it does feel a little bit hotter than the thermometer officially reads, hey, at least it doesn't feel like it is in the 90s anywhere, dover, those poor folks dealing with triple digit values for the last several days. that's now wiped clean. now the atmosphere, unfortunately, isn't wiped clean. because we are going to still have to deal with additional rounds of unsettled weather, looking ahead to the weekends. but for now you can expect some sun, some clouds perhaps left over shower, generally if you have outdoor plans, you wanted to get out for the rest of the day, since the morning was pretty much a wash in most spots, you have the opportunity to do that. the thing is, there is more unsettled weather down the road, and it will mess with your weekend. so i'm going to tell you exactly when that gets here, what are we facing, all of the details and much more a bit later in the show, guys, back to you. >> thanks, katie. a father is in critical condition this noon after he was caught in the crossfire after gun battle driving through germantown yesterday evening around 6:00. his four year old daughter was in the car, as well. police say the little girl was

>> one of florida's largest blood bang will start testing all blood donations for the zika virus, also asked sent tears stop accepting donations in two florida counties until the units of blood can be screened. authorities want to know if four recent cases of zika were transmitted by mosquitos from south florida and not from abroad. >> pope francis paid emotional visit this morning to the nazi concentration camp in poland. >> he towards the complex where more than a million people were killed during the holocaust. cbs news correspondent seth don't is traveling with the pope in poland. >> the pope walked alone through the infamous gate, his white vestments, sharp contrast to the fences and bashed wire of the place, nearly 15 minutes, he sat in silent prayer. the pontiff then prayed again, in the blackened prison cell, where catholic saint maxamillian colby volunteered

his life to save another. at nearby, survivors including 90 year old marion gathered to watch the pope. >> a christian leader. >> a human being, the holocaust was not only -- it is an european tragedy. this is not the first time a pope has traveled here, pope john paul ii came as did pope benedict. pope francis decided instead of making some major speech here, he would, instead, remain silent. >> he in silence cries, shouts, screams, silent, this place, even stronger than

words. >> the pope's only words were those he wrote down in the guest book, lord, forgive us for so much cruelty. sethdone, cbs news, poland. >> in other news today comedian bill cosby dropped his breach of contract lawsuit against one of the dozens of women accused of sexual assault, the 79 year old cosby was suing former employee andrea constand, his attorneys say constand violated a confidential settlement deal by talking to mr. is about the case. constand accuses cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2004. cosby is awaiting trial on those charges in montgomery county court. >> well, coming up: pair of huge wild fires still burning today in california. >> just ahead, whole new way to look at the destructive and deadly flames. katie? >> and brooke, once more, we are tracking it additional wet weather here in our forecast. not necessarily for the rest of the day today but coming up for the weekend, which may put a dam perron your plans.

i'm going to track everything coming our way for you in our full forecast after the break.

donald trump: i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? and you can tell them to go f--- themselves! you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever... you gotta see this guy. ahh, i don't know what i said, ahh. "i don't remember." he's going like "i don't remember!"

>> we're getting a unusual view of the huge california wild fire, they're large enough to be seen from outer space. the fires have burned thousands of acres in the angeles national forest, along the big sir coast like, and

the national reserve, the largest fire in california near bakersfield, called the irskin fire t burned more than 40,000 acres since sunday. and this is how new yorkers started the day. overnight rains flooded parks of new york city's borrows, in long island. this guy in brooklyn was not haague a -- hailing a cab, warning the driver to go back. despite the warnings, vehicles continued, through flooded streets. several counties in new york state remain under flashflood watch this noon. >> katie, this is bad idea, driving through -- >> all the time. sometimes you hear it adnauseum, maybe you just forget, or whatever, but if you see water like that in the road, you just don't drive-thru it, it may look safe, but you don't know what's underneath it for one thing, that aside even few inches can just sweep your car away. really mean it when we say never, ever drive-thru a flooded roadway, thankfully the flooding is pretty much a memory at this point for us. we've had a chance to drain

away the worse of the heavy rain, but soaking, we showed you some of the rainfall totals earlier in the show. and it ended up with shy of 3 inches out of that batch that came through from yesterday, into today. and at this point, thankfully the sun now out, will help dry things out, still little muggy however, we can report that, as well, break that heatwave, finally. going on outside, take to you one of the cooler camera shots here, when i say cooler i don't mean not only is it awesome but also technically cooler on the thermometer, up at jack frost, big boulder, won't finds any frost, but certainly will find some cooler air in place up this way. beautiful afternoon un folding again, just touch humid, great excuse to go jump in a lake, right? meanwhile, going to another camera outside live neighborhood network, couple of clouds. beautiful afternoon, here, as well, outside middle township high school, even shadows being cast by the hire cloud deck. regardless the rain now gone. and we can say all right, see ya later, at least nor now, another system on the way which we'll discuss, heatwave as we said now broken, the average that we see foresees on of 90 plus degree days is

23. and so far, now that we tacked up, or tallied up 14 days of it, so far, even just the month of july, now on par, with what's average. so still a long way left to go, another couple of weeks before summer is officially over, we may have it in clues to what we saw last year. here is the system still pushing away. may look totally innocent off to the west, trust me, more rain on the way, as another system starts to move in. so this first guy is out of here. we are going to see high pressure at least a .10 drop in, but a system nudging east. as it does so, additional showers, additional thunderstorms, some of which probably turn just as heavy as the recent rounds every rain we've had will be nudging on through. do you have outdoor plans tomorrow, you definately want to keep eye to the sky for sure, could be some thunderstorms embedded within this, even into sunday there will again be additional showers, thunderstorms, i would say pretty much any time is fair game, but specially mid to late day tomorrow.

mom day, slow moving system but staying into the 80s, that's where we are right now, low 80s generally around the region as a whole, mount pocono checks in at 76, at 79 in trenton, and, if you are going to be headed down to the shore points, right now, you have got more than anything northerly wind flow, but again, not really helping to nudge the humidity down all that much, because we will see the next system move in sooner rather than later. take a look what the shore has up its sleeve for the forecast the next couple of days if that's where your travels take this weekends, again like we said, some showers, some thunderstorms to dodge, thankfully not wash out. but it is enough that it may mess with some of your outdoor plans here, by sunday, 82 degrees, the expected hi, at most of the area beaches. and looking forward, in the forecast, then, we get to the seven day in a second. wacking you through rest of the day today in philly, spotty left over shower, most of you dry the rest of the day. we will hit mid 80s, 86 heck of a lot closer where it should be for the standards. we drop down to muggy 72 tonight. here go, string of 08 plus

degree days through the seven day until we hit thursday. i think it will take until tuesday before it can totally guarantee it stays dry. i wouldn't say that any day is a wash out but you got to allow for it, for pretty much every day until then. >> carry the umbrella just in case. >> definitely wide. >> have you ever wanted to appear on the young and the restless, the bold and the beautiful? now is your chance. they are holding open casting call. cbs is hosting soap opera auditions in czar just cities next month. you know philly made the list. lucky actor or actress will land a role on one of the soaps, show executives think it might add extra spice to two of cbs's longest running daytime tv soaps. >> i think the key to it is continuity. we really have had a had an aggressive interest in keeping the audience we had 30 years ago. >> open auditions are being held at the sugarhouse casino thursday august 18th from noon

until 3:00 p.m. ten finalists will be selected and smith today cbs as part of the nationwide search. high tail it on over there. you need to go check out the picture that you posted earlier. >> on our facebook page. >> and on twitter. >> one of those soap opera stairs. >> i gave one of my most serious faces. >> uh-huh. >> trust me. >> still ahead: the eagles re-sign a key offensive player. we'll be rig

>> good news for eagles threat, first, darren sproles will be sticking around, the 33 year old has been to two pro bowls as kick returner, signed one year contract extension through the 2017 season. terms have not been announced. sproles ran for 317 yards and three touchdowns last season, also, caught 55 passes, for 388 yards, and one touchdown. the birds are at training camp at nova care right now. >> and babe ruth never even did this. >> a central pennsylvania, 12 year old, had the game of his little league career, in one inning. cory led off the game, the other night, with a homerun. no big deal, except he batted twice more in that same inning, and hit two more homeruns. that is three homeruns, in a 17-run first inning, his coach was surprised and so was cory. >> i just tried to hit line drives, that's it, and i just got lung i. i hit another one. >> i've never seen three homeruns in the first inning

in one game, so it was great to experience something like that for him, for the team. >> cory's team won 35 to two, in a mercy rule game. >> at what point do you finally say okay, let's just call it? >> awe. that's fantastic, look, well done. >> now the forecast still very summer like, that's for sure. we'll show you the seven day one more time, get the weekend plans, wrap your head around what it will look like here, i do think some of your outdoor plans might need to be delayed, or just postponed, because some of the rain that does come in granted scattered, yes, but looks like we will have to deal with more heavy downpours, much more like we've seen in recent days. >> in each life a little rain must fall. that's "eyewitness news" at noon, i'm jim donovan. >> i'm brooke thomas. for katie and all of us here, thanks for watching. >> we're always on line for you at satisfy cbsphilly.com. the young and the restless is next.
