>> ♪ >> live from the cbs broadcast center in philadelphia, this is cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> a great white shark is spotted off the new jersey coast. how close it got to swimmers and how officials are keeping tabs on this shark at this point. good evening, i'm natasha brown. thanks for joining us. if you've been outside today then you know it's still hot, it's humid but some relief may

be on the way for us. meteorologist chelsea ingram is in the cbs3 weather center tracking storms that could hopefully break this heat for us. >> that's right, natasha and i think they will help. some of these storms actually strong to severe. we have a mess across the midatlantic up into the northeast. let's zoom you into one severe thunderstorm warning that we have for the following counties. we're looking at burlington county camden gloucester county as well as philadelphia. this severe thunderstorm warning is until 6:45. the main threat with this warning is going to be winds in excess of around 60 miles per hour and of course extremely heavy downpours. we're dealing with some torrential rainfall from west goshen up to upper providence and this is heading east at around 35 miles per hour. so, heads up to philadelphia, gloucester as well as mount laurel we're going to be dealing with very heavy rainfall and very strong winds as we head into the next 30 minutes to an hour or so. we also have a flood advisory in that effect for portions of the delaware valley up into portions of montgomery chester

county through this evening. some of these locations have already received several inches of rainfall and now we have more rain that is falling at this point in time so that is causing at least some minor flooding on some of the roads. that's something we're keeping an eye on. temperature right around 90 degrees in philadelphia. that's going to be dropping very soon especially as that rain moves in but it has been another hot one today. as we head into the overnight hours you can look for overnight low temperatures in the mid 70's. we'll be cloudy way strong thunderstorm but it does look like relief from the storm is in sight. we'll talk about that in a bit. natasha back to you. >> it's certainly not easy to be outside when it's this hot and humid. i object reporter alycia nieves is live in logan circle this evening with a look at how folks are dealing with yet another sticky day. it's just brutal out there, alycia. >> reporter: it really is, though, natasha. we've had temperatures in the 90's for the past five days and at times it has felt like this relentless or oppressive heat. i spoke to a woman earlier who says she has been hiding out

indoors in the air conditioning since the start of this heat wave but we saw people who seem to be saying enough, they're not going to let the heat stop them from having fun. >> reporter: relentless heat meet people determined not to be stopped by the hot weather this weekend by the art museum, the iconic steps doing the good old rocky run. many were noticeably walking with water bottles stopping at the ice cream trucks, a line in front of the mister softee showing business is good for the ice cream man and street vendors selling cold drinks. the heat wave this week has so many doing whatever it takes to stay hydrated and keep cool. in fact down at the ben franklin parkway some were even jumping in the fountain on logan circle. this is technically not allowed but on a hot day like this it's the only relief some can get. >> i was down the water down city hall and it's actually very -- the water coming out of the ground is very hot. it's humid. so, we walked down here and it

feels so good. the water is very nice 'cause i can't make atlantic city so i came down here. >> reporter: and not everyone can go off to the shore when the weather gets this hot so this will have to do for some and as chelsea mentioned earlier it seems like everyone is going to get some temporary relief tonight, possibly some rain coming down. it's cloudy and overcast right where we're at now so i see that happening soon. for now reporting live on logan circle alycia nieves. >> thank you so much. firefighters say the forest fire that began thursday in burlington county it is now 100 percent contained and almost under control. the fire scotched thousands of acres in the wharton state forest. "eyewitness news" reporter anita oh has more on the damage left behind. >> it's always a shame to lose our natural environment that we need so dearly. >> reporter: raging forest fire in burlington county has left the smell of smoke lingering across parts of new

jersey leaving behind all of this. and as you can see from this damage the fire tore through acres here at the wharton state forest and while officials say they have contained much of the flames, they are still working to put out smoldering hot spots t crews continue to work saturday to hose down charred branches and brush. though the fire was so deep in the forest that the flames did not threaten any homes. some were concerned about the smoke seen on satellite imagery. >> reporter: this is where the siblings say they spent much time as children. >> it was beautiful and always enjoyed it. but on saturday all trails at the wharton state forest remained closed along with five campgrounds and the quakerbridge. in burlington county, anita oh, cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> also tonight biologists are tracking the migration of great white sharks. they say the largest male ever

staff went out with o search looking for great white in the delaware bay. no luck but he's glad people are following hilton on social media and taking an interest in sharks. >> what we try to do here is teach them that sharks, they're not out to eat people, we're far more dangerous to sharks than they are to us. >> reporter: if you would like to get close to a shark besides behind glass your best bet is to come here on the shark bridge at the adventure aquarium where you can walk over the sharks. what did you think, was it scary at all. >> i was terrified 'cause i'm a coward. >> reporter: one little boy who was not scared who knows all about sharks including great whites is seven-year-old brandon. >> you have to run really fast to get away. >> reporter: you don't go near great whites. >> no. >> reporter: okay. >> only in jaws. >> reporter: you're allowed to watch jaws?
