back. >> it was typical vintage chase utley in that chase press conference. did he play against this club a week ago and hit a home run. will he have the flare for dramatic at citizens bank park once fan? we will wait and see. meanwhile across the street, they made a big time move, talking about the philadelphia eagles. they traded today dennis kelly, offensive lineman to bring in the wide receiver with a massive amount of upside. that would be dario green-beckham, 6-foot five, 240-pound, rips a 40 in 4.5 or so-so he is pretty fast. and they got him because he has baggage. that is why he was available. he was kick off his college team at missouri and arrested twice for marijuana related incidents. head coach doug pederson on why they took the risk. >> we are not in the rehabilitation business but at the same time we feel like with the staff i have assembled with the personnel staff upstairs we can bring guys in that can might have

to 11. that watch does look like threat is winding down and will completely collapse after 8:00 o'clock. still a few scattered cells to watch and take a look at one storm that went through earlier in reading at a time lapse the past few hours we had blue skies, looking good nice warm afternoon and then all of a sudden we see dark cloud moving in. look at that wind gusts, measured at this site, 46 miles an hour gusts measured there and brief downpours getting wet. dark included rolling through and still looking a little ominous in reading. there air lot of clouds associated with this line of storms even after the storms moved through cloud to stick around for a while. storm scan three you can see cloud cover on the satellite image still cloudy in the wake of the storm but main push of storms right now moving out of the region to the north over north jersey but cells we want to watch here in philadelphia are these over southern chester county and into eastern maryland. these are moving north and east. they are intensifying a bit. they are not severe but you

can see a few cells moving through southern chester county through wilmington delaware, possibly delaware county and eventually philadelphia do still have lightening involved but still heavy downpours right along i-95, slow downs. this is what you will want to watch. two discrete cells, one over maryland and chester county moving north and east ward. while they may not turn severe we will have a threat for a brief but intense then are storm over philadelphia probably likely between seven and 8:00 o'clock. otherwise our severe thunderstorm watch goes until 11:00. we have storms moving through. they will continue to weaken once they hit 95 a and delaware river. they will fall apart. don't expect them to continue, into the shore points, this evening what to expect? scattered thunderstorms. any storms can produce damaging wind and frick lightening. biggest threat from the city north and west and then the storm wind down after 8:00. still feeling hot outside, still feels like 104 here in philadelphia, feeling like 106

in millville, wilmington is backup as cloud move in advance of the storms but our excessive heat warning continues until 10:00. we have been under this warning since last thursday and it will be nice when that expires and we can get rid of it. right now still feeling insufferable, that was our lot in life for today but humidity values do fall off tomorrow and will stay lower through the even of the week. it is not cool but it will feel better. so tomorrow partly sunny, still hot. i think we hit 90 which means heat wave continues. tomorrow is day number eight but feels different, thursday and friday near 90 both days, maybe a stray shower or storm. we will keep that chance for pop up storm around this weekend. not a major cool down but anything better than feeling like 106 degrees. >> mild improvement. >> we will take it. thanks, kate. political stand still in new jersey. >> why governor christie says state is stuck on a plan to raise the gas tax. serving up lessons in tennis and life special
