once we get past this day today, things will change dramatically. we have a fair amount of sunshine out there. it's very humid. 65% humidity. that temperature is pretty extreme. so, the 85 feels like 91. that southerly wind. and the temperature is exactly the same as it was at this time yesterday and we hit 94 yesterday. the record for today is 94. if we get to 90 today, that makes it heat wave number six. then we'll end it right there because tomorrow should get nowhere near 90 degrees. we are getting closer and closer to that number now. in a couple hours we could be in parts of the area. we're in mid-80s in many parts of the area. dover feels like 96 already with the air temperature of 88 and the high humidity. so, you need more than just heat and humidity to create showers and thunderstorms. we could use some of this rain, especially in new jersey.

it's considered abnormally dry over just about the entire state. and in northern new jersey we're getting into the moderate drought level. with the rain we'll be seeing, that's really going to help in many cases. we have some clouds back across pennsylvania, but not much am the way of rain. one or two showers in the western part of the state. there's a little more evidence as you head back to the west in the ohio valley, some of those showers. as you go through the afternoon, the futurecast showing that southerly wind pushing the temperature into the 90s. just some isolated showers developing by 4:00, 5:00 this afternoon. most of the area does not get rained on this afternoon. later tonight there may be more activity developing. as you can see toward 5:00, 6:00 a.m. areas north and west. it's another very warm, humid night and a warm start to the day tomorrow. some showers and storms really

building up early in the day. preventing us from getting anywhere near 90 degrees. look at the temperatures drop in the afternoon as some of those heavy showers and storms coming through and so once that happens, we're out of it as far as temperatures in the 90s are concerned. now, in the tropics, it has been a little more active but we still have favorable conditions for strong development or for united states hits. grace is now not only a -- built a tropical storm or depression as it continues to move into dry area. a new tropical depression in the atlantic also moving into dry air. that really kills these tropical systems and it's all related to the el nino out in the pacific. the record-breaking one. hot and humid today with just a chance of some afternoon thunderstorms around. highs getting in the 90s and it will feel like it's more like 96 to 98.

really steamy. then we get some heavy rain and thunderstorms tomorrow, some downpours there. the ground is hard so we could get some runoff creating localized flooding. look at the temperatures as we you go-g through the end. week and the weekend and end of next week, you don't see anything close to 90 degrees. >> thank you. september is national preparedness month, but just how ready are you and your family for the next emergency or disaster? judge renee cardwell-hughes is the ceo of the southeastern chapter of the american red cross and she's here with some important tips. good to have you here. >> pleasure to see you. >> let's talk about the thing most people face, the most common thing people face and that is house fires. >> house fires is the most deadly thing. so, there are several things people should do and september is a wonderful time to do it. do have you a working smoke alarm on every single floor of your home? you should have a ten-year

lithium powered smoke alarm on every floor. if you don't, you can call 311, the fire department and red cross will come out and install one free of charge. it's critical. the second most important thing is an escape plan. do you know how to get out of every room of your home? >> not just your house, but every room. >> every room in your home. two ways out of every room. the critical thing is, a, to design this plan and, b, to practice it with your children and the seniors in your home. pick a spot outside your home to get to that's safe for your family as a meeting point. people say, i forgot and go back into the fire. worst mistake you can make. when you get out, stay out and wait for the fire department. >> we did a story earlier this year, last year, where kids escaped a fire because they had just practiced climbing out of the window and getting out of the house. that's really important. let's talk about emergency kids. a lot of people don't even think about an emergency kit, but if

you have one, you should have one, and what should be in it? >> september is a good time to check your emergency kit. you want one on every floor of your home. in it you want a gallon of water, a gallon for each person for three days. that's three gallons of water for each person. you also want a gallon of water for each pet you have. just one gallon will last a pet three days. think about nonperishable food. my favorite is peanut butter. peanut butter and rice cakes. sounds good but it's good. it's nonperishable food. you want to put games in there for your kids, books, puzzles, crayons, things that don't require electricity. a battery-powered radio so that you can get information about the conditions outside the home. so, this is what we call a stay in place kit. you want to be able to stay in your home for three days until first responders can come. you also want what we call a go kit. a go kit is something you keep by the bedroom door, where you

can grab it. there's a copy of your life insurance in there, your homeowners insurance, things that if they were lost would be difficult to replace. so, you have this go kit and you grab it and you get out of the house. >> the red cross is also involved in the preparation for the pope's visit coming up at the end of the month. >> yes. >> tell us about that, and how you folks are getting ready and your preparation. >> well, we are intimately involved with the pope's visit. very excited about it. in fact, if people want to help, they can still volunteer at redcross.org. what we're doing is several things. the most important is family reunification. so, if you get separated from your children or the seniors in your family, we will help you get reconnected. we have family reunification centers stationed throughout what i call the pope's festival ground. we're there. we're also taking care of all the volunteers who are coming into the city. so, we'll be housing them and making sure they'll be safe. we'll be providing first aid and medical assistance to the

hospital teams that will be there. we will also continue to respond to the three to five fires a night that occur in the city of philadelphia during this time. so, we're very involved. >> you guys do such good work. we appreciate it. never had this-t on this show when you weren't wearing a red dress. it's always nice. judge hughes, thank you very much. >> pleasure to see you. >> the red cross has free apps and materials to help you create your own emergency plan. by the way, for more information on that, just head over to our website at nbc10.com or check out the nbc10 app. we appreciate your time with us and gives us these tips. it's helpful. >> thank you so much. always nice to see you. shark attack on the rise. the result of a brand new study confirming the fears of many beachgoers this summer. we'll have that straight ahead.

the heat and humidity for today could produce isolated thunderstorms developing during the afternoon that will help relieve these hot and humid conditions. 91 degrees by 3:00. we have much cooler weather in the seven-day and much stormier weather. that's coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you. the pope won't be here for another couple weeks but starting today you can buy -- you can start buying souvenirs of his visit. the official world meeting of families merchandise pop-up shop opened for business about 90 minutes ago. nbc10's monique braxton is live in center city with more. monique, what kind of goodies did you find there? >> reporter: vai, they've got an assortment of everything you might imagine. visiting any foreign country or here in the states, souvenirs galore. come inside with us. look at the video we captured a few moments ago inside the aramark tower. this is the first official stop. you'll see religious items like pope francis dolls, rosary beads and prayer cards of all sizes.
