and right now at 11:00, we are dealing with dangerous heat and humidity all throughout our area. oppressive conditions in center city, as we take a live look right now at market street. and we have live team coverage of this latest blast of dangerous heat and humidity. let's begin with nbc 10 first alert meteorologist, bill henley. bill? >> vai, temperatures are climbing. that's in spite of clouds that are around. the clouds will get out of the way. so pennsylvania, new jersey, and delaware will see heat hazards this afternoon as the temperatures soar. it's this afternoon through tomorrow, into tomorrow evening, where the greatest risk during the afternoon hours, when the temperatures will reach into the 90s and high humidity will combine to make it feel like more than 100 degrees. but the clouds have to get out of the way for it to happen. we're in the low 80s right now

in philadelphia. the clouds have already moved out of the shore and they're just about to exit philadelphia, too. already thinning out in wilmington. chester county seeing lots of sunshine breaking through as the clouds exit the area. there's a sunny view from cape may, which is already into the 80s. and will warm into the upper 80s this afternoon. in fact, the temperatures have climbed into the 80s now for delaware and the lehigh valley, where it's still mostly cloudy. we could see some showers and thunderstorms develop for the lehigh valley and the suburbs this afternoon and a possibility for philadelphia. but the heat will be the main factor, with afternoon temperatures in the middle 90s, that will feel more like 100 degrees or more. it's going to be dangerous to go outside and exert yourself in that kind of heat. and it's not just today, it's also tomorrow. you can see, the heat continues, even into the weekend, with the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. when i come back, we'll talk about the heat and humidity, and when we will finally get a break with the ten-day outlook.

vai? >> see you in a few minutes, bill. our live team coverage continues now with nbc 10's pamela osborne who's live at the philadelphia museum of art. pam, you've been talking to people who have to be outside today. >> reporter: yeah, vai, i've been one of them and it's pretty stuffy out here right now. thankfully, there's a bit of a breeze that's going on, it makes things a little bit easier to deal with. but the type of heat we're expecting later on today is enough to make you want to stay indoors or maybe even change your plans. >> dig in, whoo! if i could tell you, it's hot. >> reporter: an oppressive heat is hanging over the city. and jose oppenheimer is feeling it already. >> real hot. humid, yeah. real hot. take your time, you know, when you're doing stuff >> reporter: while he was doing a little landscaping work near the swan memorial fountain, we saw other people dipping in the water, just working to stay cool. knowing it would be hotter later in the day, jamie defrancis took her morning walk a little earlier to beat the heat. >> it's not too bad.

i thought it would be much hotter, but because the sun's not here -- >> reporter: after, she says, she'll spend the rest of the day indoors. >> i guess i'll be home, in the air-conditioning, maybe go to a movie. >> some said they plan on keeping their outdoor plans. >> always bring a bottle of water. always. it's just a must. >> reporter: others had no choice. oppenheimer says he's lucky, his workday will end as the excessive heat begins to feel lick triple digits. for everyone else -- >> drink water. that's what you can do. you know, take your time, drink water, relax a little bit, you know? >> caller: also worth mentioning, the city's heat line opens up at noon today. there will be nurses there to answer any phone calls, any questions that you have about dealing with this excessive heat. also worth mention, if you have pets, dogs, bring them inside and don't forget to check on your elderly neighbors, as well. reporting live at the art museum, i'm pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. >> pam, thank you.

make sure you download the nbc 10 app, as well, and you can get weather alerts sent straight to your phone, so you can stay on top of this weather. we also have tips so that you can stay cool in this dangerous heat. well, that heat today could add more insult to injury for septa commuters. they've been dealing with nearly two weeks of slowdowns because of emergency repairs that took trains off the tracks, and the hot weather is also having an impact on rail service. nbc 10's rosemary connors is live for us in overbrook this morning. the transit agency, rosemary, showing us where the cracks happened on the rail cars and what crews are douing to find te fix. why don't you tell us more? >> reporter: that's exactly right, vai. a little bit earlier this morning, we got a chance to look underneath this train here, at the suspension system. that's where inspectors had found the cracks. >> the top part as it comes over is where the crack is. >> reporter: the cracks can barely be seen with the naked

eye. you really need a flashlight in addition to visual checks, septa engineers are doing a lot of technical testing. for example, using a dye to penetrate and highlight the cracks. this is certainly a start, but septa still does not know what caused the cracks and how to fix them. thousands of regional rail riders are all caught in the middle of this. that means there's 13,000 fewer seats available. getting the cars back on track is a priority for those riders, but in the meantime, so is transparency. and that's what this morning tease demonstration was all about. >> we need to build the confidence of the public, so when we do return the cars to service, that they're safe. so as much as we like to say what that fix is, immediately, there are a lot of things that go into it. >> reporter: septa is looking at both a temporary fix and a long-term solution. of course, again, the priority being they want to get people back on these cars, back to their normal schedules. septa tells me they're also

talking to the manufacturer of these trains. they're only about five years old. we'll have more on that coming up at 11:30. reporting live in overbrook, i'm rosemary connors, nbc 10 news. >> rosemary, thank you. time for a check on the roads with traffic reporter, jessica boyington. what are you seeing out there? >> reporter: we're watching the area bridges to start. we'll start on the platt bridge, actually, where we have some construction. you can see that with these cameras, a little bit pulled back from it. but you can see over into the right-hand shoulder and t right-hand lane, only one lane getting by. we're seeing single file traffic with one lane behind it. the burlington bristles in the process of a scheduled open. it's scheduled for 11:00 a.m. the right lane is closed on the walt whitman. and over the tacony-palmyra, we're dealing with construction and lane restrictions until about 3:00 this afternoon. out in upper pottsgrove, we're watching an accident headed

southbound. checking in with mass transit, not doing too bad right now. for the most part, mass transit is doing okay. we have a train for septa, norristown 208, running about ten minutes late. now, the schuylkill expressway, all back to normal. we had a few accidents there early this morning, now we're dealing with typical slowdowns. 16 minutes right now, which is adding 3 to 4 minutes only into your commute, headed into center city eastbound from the blue route to the vine street expressway, no problems there. watch for the construction on those bridges. vai? >> jessica, thank you. philadelphia police are searching for the robber seen in this new video. authorities say the man was wearing a bandanna over his face when he went into the wawa early sunday morning. he showed an employee a gun in his waistband, and then demanded money and cigarettes. police say the worker handed it all over, and the robber ran away. backing the blue. hundreds of people took to the streets in philadelphia to show support for police. people rallied in several spots,

including this gathering, at cottman and frankfort avenue, in mayfair yesterday. they held up signs and drivers honked their horns, all to show solidarity with the men and women in blue. >> a bunch of my buddies are still philadelphia police officers today. and with all the violence going on in the u.s., they need to know that we're here to back them. >> there are cops out here in this city every single day, getting guns off the streets. getting people -- getting dangerous people off the streets. >> people also rallied in roxborough to support police. officials say there were no injuries and no major incidents at either rally. penn state wants the second miles insurance companies to help pay for some of the settlements to victims of jerry sandusky. the organization founded by sandusky official went out of business earlier this year. in a new court filing, the university says the second mile was in a position to stop and prevent sandusky from abusing children, but failed to do so. so penn state says it should be liable for some of the settlements.

sandusky was convicted of sexually abusing ten boys and sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison. he's appealing his conviction. and happening now, officials are gathering for a ribbon cutten at bartram gardens. they're opening the city's only 19th century flower garden. the $2.7 million project is the garden's first major restoration in a hundred years. tomorrow at this time, we should know the name of donald trump's running mate. new details about the veep stakes underway right now and who the gop candidate could choose, as final preparations are being made for the event that's being called the unconventional convention. plus, driving under the influence of anger. we'll break down a new study that shows just how many people admit to having road rage behind the wheel.

at this exact time tomorrow, we'll be learning who donald trump has chosen as a running mate. he will announce his choice in new york. will he choose a familiar face, or will he throw the electorate another curveball? nbc's hallie jackson has the latest. >> reporter: 24 hours from now, the biggest decision so far of donald trump's candidacy. >> i want to pick somebody who's solid, who's smart. i'm not looking for an attack dog. >> reporter: trump's team take advantage of a few extra hours in the hoosier state, because of plane repairs, to meet with

contender, newt gingrich. >> i wouldn't be at all shocked if there isn't a totally unknown person that has not been vetted publicly, because i think trump does like surprises. so he may just pull a rabbit out of the hat. >> reporter: those comments coming after trump met privately with indiana governor mike pence over breakfast, joined by his children, ivanka and don jr.. >> character of his children is truly inspiring and it was an honor for us, whatever the outcome, to be able to spend time with them. >> reporter: sources close to the campaign tell nbc news pence and gingrich, along with chris christie, who spoke with trump by phone this week, top the short list, though the decision is ultimately up to trump alone. and in the midst of a tense week, a potentially distracting twist. trump nouz filing a $10 million arbitration claim against a former campaign aide, sam nunberg, accusing him of trying

to spread suggestive rumors about former campaign staffers. >> thank you all very much. >> reporter: through it all, hillary clinton not ledding up, out with a new ad this morning, showing children watching clips of her rivals. >> and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? it's incredible. >> reporter: clinton hoping to capitalize by keeping the conversation about kids. >> when kids are scared by political candidates and policy debates, it's a sign that something has gone badly wrong. >> reporter: but it's a different kind of focus on family for the trumps this morning, with these exclusive "time" magazine photos and story highlighting the trump children's high-profile positions as some of their father's most trusted advisers. helping to vet the vp pick. the selection suspense, now nearly over. >> that was nbc's hallie jackson reporting. look for live coverage of trump's vp announcement right here at this time tomorrow. and nbc news has learned some of the names who will be speaking

at next week's rnc in cleveland. among them, former eagle tim tebow, rudy giuliani, trump's wife, melania trump, ivanka trump. one name missing from the list, sarah palin. the republican national convention just four days away and the rules committee is meeting in cleveland this morning. that's where the never-trump movement is trying a last-ditch effort to derail trump's nomination. it's unclear if they will have the votes to succeed. and there are last-minute security changes in cleveland in wake of the ambush in dallas. two rings of security will surround the convention center. the secret service will control the secure zone inside. no guns will be allowed in that zone. outside that zone, citizens will be allowed to be armed, because it is legal in the state of ohio for anyone with an open carry license to walk around with a

firearm in public. and nbc 10 is sending a team of our reporters and photographers to the rnc in cleveland, so look for live reports from my nbc 10 colleagues, tracy davidson, lauren mayk, and jim rosenfield, starting sunday night on nbc 10 news at 11:00. and this just in. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg now says she regrets her criticism of donald trump. in a statement issued this morning, she says judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. she promises to be more careful in the future. last weekend she called him a faker and said she didn't want to think about the prospect of him becoming president. well, a new poll shows a vast majority of americans are scared of their presidential options. the ap/gfk poll says 81% would feel afraid if either hillary clinton or donald trump were elected president. a quarter of those surveyed say they're scared of both options.

and three quarters say they're more interested in casting a vote against clinton or trump rather than voting for the candidate who is most qualified for office. meantime, days after ending his campaign and endorsing hillary clinton for president, vice president senator bernie sanders has signed a book deal. the book will be called, our revolution, a future to believe in. and it will include both his policy ideas for the future and reflections on his run in the primaries. the book is set to be released on november 15th. officials will allow philadelphia bar owners to stay open later during the upcoming democratic national convention. last call for alcohol in pennsylvania is normally 2:00 a.m., but a dnc official tells nbc 10 that bars in philly can apply to stay open until 4:00 a.m. during the days that the convention is in town. the only catch is that bars will have to prove that they're involved with the convention events. and happening now in the house homeland security

committee is holding a hearing on worldwide threats. this is a live look right now from washington, where secretary jeh johnson and fbi director james comey are both testifying. the hearing will take a close look at isis and what the committee calls a new wave -- >> the ranking member, thank you so very much for this hearing and -- and right now, we're starting to see more sunshine. it's clearing out and heating up and it's going to be a quick heat-up into the 90s this afternoon. very hot. and also very humid. we've felt that steaminess all morning long. that will combine to make it feel like more than 100 this afternoon. while we've issued a first alert. and staying steamy this evening. in fact, all night long, the humidity will be evaluated. we're already running warmer than yesterday, in spite of the clouds we've seen for much of the morning. 84 in mt. holly and vineland, a bit warmer in new jersey. now 81 degrees in philadelphia. and look at wilmington and dover, into the middle 80s right now. these numbers are up 6 degrees in philadelphia, 5 degrees

warmer in wilmington, compared to yesterday at this time. but look at coatesville, up 9 degrees and 7 degrees warmer in mt. holly. the warmest temperatures in interior new jersey. piney hol, 86 degrees. 86 now in medfort. pitman is also 86 degrees. lumberton and permton in the middle 80s. these numbers will climb into the 90s this afternoon, middle 90s, at that. this is what it will feel like as we go through the day. upper 80s, this is at noontime, will feel like 98 degrees in philadelphia. then it reaches into 100-plus territory for this afternoon. what it feels like when you combine the temperatures and the humidity. and it even remains evaluated as we go through the evening hours. at 8:00 this evening, 88 degrees. 95 is what it will feel like. so we've got some serious heat for today. and again, tomorrow. your neighborhood forecast for today, philadelphia, 94 degrees with a chance of some afternoon showers and thunderstorms. it won't be widespread, it won't

be the rainfall we saw yesterday, but there could be some downpours this afternoon. 101 is what it will feel like this afternoon. for the suburbs, a better chance of seeing some of those afternoon showers, but certainly not an all-day rainfall. and enough shine to warm westchester, doylestown, lansdale, into the 90s today. 95 is what it will feel like in doylestown. and for the lehi valley, we'll be watching for storms developing this afternoon. high temperatures in the 90s, it will feel like it's in the middle 90s, at least. a chance of some showers and thunderstorms in hammington township, less likely for pemberton and hamilton. at the shore, upper 80s this afternoon, but it's going to feel steamy through the day today. so middle 90s is what it will feel like. look at smyrna, 105, the afternoon feels-like temperature, 100 for wilmington, but 94 degrees, the high temperature. we're watching the radar. we're also seeing the clouds move out. the satellite and radar, no activity nearby this morning. but to the west, you can see

some showers that are moving through central pennsylvania, just northwest of harrisburg. i'm watching that, and that may come together with some storms for this afternoon. that's 3:00 this afternoon. hour-by-hour forecast shows those reaching into the suburbs, but not much farther. it will likely stay dry in delaware and south jersey and at the shore, you'll see lots of sunshine. so we'll watch for those storms. they'll be moving out during the early evening hours and it cools down a little bit, but no big cooldown here, and certainly not a cooldown tomorrow. in fact, the numbers go the other direction, up a little bit more. 95 degrees, the high temperature. first alert for today and tomorrow. and evaluated temperatures for saturday and sunday. not as hot, nor as humid. but the heat wave continues right on through the weekend and into next week. late-day monday, showers and thunderstorms are a possibility. more likely on tuesday, just enough activity to keep us a bit cooler for one day, tuesday, a

h high of 88 degrees. then we're back into the 90s starting wednesday, thursday, and friday. 93 degrees with mostly sunny skies. vai? >> all right. thank you, bill. because of today's dangerous heat, you really feed to be careful and limit your time spent outside. the philadelphia cooperation for ageing is activating its heat line today and tomorrow. the number is on your screen there. be sure tough the free nbc 10 for some good advice on how to stay cool throughout this heat. if you're not already playing it, chances are you've heard all about it. it's the most popular mobile game in u.s. history. but what's the impact of pokemongo on your cell phone's data plan? we'll have that, just ahead.

donate it, they harvest those -- the tissue itself, and then it's the actual tissue that sits on the eye, the surface of the eye, that heals the eye. >> reporter: he says dry eye, abrasions can all improve in just a week. >> it reduces scarring. and it reduces inflammation, also. and it helps the eye heal faster. it's kind of -- it helps it regenerate like, if you think of it like a born-again eye. >> reporter: jenkins says her eye was gray when she came in and it's back to normal now. >> i literally kind of like lost my vision by the time i got here. for me to be able to see after he did it, you know, a week later, it was amazing to me. >> that was nbc's hailey hernandez reporting. dangerous heat and humidity, it is back in a big way. here's a live look right now at the skyline of center city, philadelphia. first alert meteorologist bill henley will let us know how long

in baala kinwood. >> we've issued a first alert for pennsylvania, new jersey, and delaware this afternoon through tomorrow. the heat and humidity combined to make it feel like more than 100 degrees this afternoon. clouds are still over philadelphia, but we have seen some breaks of sunshine, and we will see more sunshine as the day goes on. the satellite and radar shows no showers in the area. we did see some of those first thing this morning. but look at the sun now, pulling out and, bright sunshine warming up chester county, delaware is looking at mostly sunny skies. and mostly of new jersey is seeing sunshine, but farther inland, you can see the clouds, those are the clouds that are going to be moving out. with sunshine, it's 90s this afternoon. and as you may have noticed, it's not just this afternoon we're talking about. the high heat continues tomorrow and the 90s continue right on through the weekend. i'll be back with the ten-day outlook to show you when storms will likely make things a little

bit cooler for us next week. >> all right, thank you, bill. our live team coverage continues now with nbc 10's pamela osborne at the museum of art. is that heat feeling oppressive right now? >> reporter: it certainly is. the sun came out for a few moments, but long enough to heat things up once again. a little bit cloudy rate now, a slight breeze, but it still does not feel good outside. it's the kind of heat that makes you want to stay indoors for as long as you can. >> at least the sun's not beating down on us today, which helps. >> reporter: an oppressive heat is hanging over the city. >> dig in. i could tell you, it's hot. >> reporter: and jose oppenheimer is feeling it already. >> real hot. humid, yeah. real hot. take your time, you know, when you're doing stuff. >> reporter: while he was doing a little landscaping work near the swan memorial fountain, we saw other people dipping in the water, just working to stay cool. knowing it would be hotter later in the day, jamie defrancis took

her morning walk a little earlier to beat the heat. >> it's not too bad. i thought it would be much hotter. but because the sun's not here -- >> after, she says, she'll spend the rest of the day indoors. >> i guess i'll be home in the air-conditioning, maybe go to a movie. >> reporter: some said they plan on keeping their outdoor plans. >> always bring a bottle of water. always. it's just a must. >> reporter: others had no choice. oppenheimer says he's lucky. his workday will end as the excessive heat begins to feel like triple digits. for everyone else -- >> drink water. that's what you can do. you know? take your time. drink water and relax a little bit. >> reporter: and i should tell you, in about 30 minutes, the city's heat line is going to be opening up, so anybody that has questions about this weather, about how to stay cool in these conditions can give that heat line a call. there will be nurses there to answer your questions.

also, if you have pets, bring them inside, if you have elderly neighbors, be sure to check on them as well. reporting live at the art museum, i'm pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. >> pamela, thank you, stay cool out there. make sure you're armed with the nbc 10 app. you can get weather alerts sent straight to your phone, so you can stay on top of the weather. and we have tips there so you can stay cool in this dangerous heat. and this heat today could add more insult to injury for septa commuters. they've been dealing with nearly two weeks of slowdowns because of emergency repairs. it took trains off the tracks and the hot weather is also having an impact on rail service. nbc 10's rosemary connors is live for us in overbrook, where septa just told us why so many trains had to be taken out of service. >> yeah, vai, we're talking about cracks, it's really to the suspension system, which is right underneath the train here. septa says they want to be as transparent as possible through this process. and so this morning, they gave us a close-up look at the

problem. are >> the top part of the goose next, where it comes over, is where the crack is. >> reporter: it was a septa worker who noticed a car leaning on the tracks a few weeks ago. and upon further inspection, he found the crack. only five of the 120 cars pulled do not have any cracks. so in the meantime, riders are stuck with limited service and thousands of fewer seats. now, these cars are part of septa's silver liner fleet. they're relatively new to the transit agency, a few years spop that begs the question whether this in any way could be related to a manufacturing defect. i talked to septa's assistant general manager. i asked him that. he says they're looking into it. >> working closely with hyundai road side, and yes, they're roughly five to six years old. they started delivery in 2010. so, you know, we're working closely with them. >> reporter: septa still does not know what caused these cracks and they're still trying to work on a way to fix them.

i wish we had a better timeline for riders. we were hoping to get some more of that information today. but unfortunately, until we have the answers to those previous questions, we really won't know. septa says, though, they could have some more information come next week. that's when they get some samples that they sent out to the labs back from testing. reporting live in overbrook, i'm rosemary connors, nbc 10 news. >> rosemary, thank you. a new study shows just how many people say they have had road rage or similar feelings while behind the wheel. the aaa foundation for traffic safety found that 85% of drivers felt significant anger and aggression in the last year. they engage in behaviors like tailgating, trying to block another car from changing lanes or honking to show annoyance. to make matters worse, the study found that 8 million drivers who engage in extreme road rage, meaning they either got out of their car to confront another driver or hit another car on purpose. >> we've all heard the old adage, you know, we say things

we don't mean when we're angry. well, when you're behind the wheel, we do things you wouldn't otherwise do when you're angry. >> who are the biggest offenders? according to the survey, males and younger drivers were significantly more likely to engage in aggressive behaviors. and aaa has these suggestions to help prevent road rage. be tolerant and forgiving. don't assume another driver's actions are directed at you. and don't respond. that means, avoid eye contact. don't gesture. and call 911 if needed. and now to an nbc 10 exclusive. police are on the hunt for a poor box bandit, caught on camera, targeting churches in at least two pennsylvania counties. police in montgomery county released this picture of the suspects, pretty good picture. authorities say he stole cash from donation boxes at st. anthony's church three times in the last several weeks. also, according to police, the pastor of a delaware county church caught this same man trying to steal from his church. and happening now, mourners

are gathering to say good-bye to philando castile. he's the man shot and killed by police last week. i want to give you a picture from st. paul, minnesota. a horse-drawn carriage carried his body around the school where he worked and ended up at the cathedral where his funeral will be held. castile was shot after the car he was in was pulled over by a police officer for a broken taillight. castile's girlfriend streamed the aftermath live on facebook and said he was shot while reaching for his i.d. after telling the officer he had a gun permit and was armed. a state investigation is underway. castile was a cafeteria worker and today school lunchroom workers will hold a vigil in his honor in philadelphia. it begins at 5:00 this afternoon at benjamin franklin high school on north broad street. the workers will stand together and support the black lives matter movement and to say castile's life mattered. well, tonight, president obama will hold a town hall

meeting, which will focus on reducing tensions between police and the communities they serve. yesterday, the president spent hours meeting with community activists and law enforcement leader s at the white house. >> we're not at a point yet where communities of color feel confident that their police departments are serving them with dignity and respect and equality. and we're not yet at the point where police departments feel quality as supported at all levels. >> former philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey was among those who attended yesterday's meeting. also there, the governor of louisiana and the mayor of st. paul, minnesota, both dealing with police-involved shootings. meantime, on capitol hill, several senators introduced the back the blue act, making ate federal crime to kill or target law enforcement officers. well, espn's annual sports award show started with a solemn

moment last night. it was all in response to the recent acts of gun violence across the nation. >> let's use this moment as a call to action, for all professional athletes, to educate ourselves. explore these issues, speak up, use our influence, and renounce all violence. >> that's part of the anti-gun violence message delivered last night by nba superstar's carmelo anthony. chris paul, dwyane wade, and lebron james. james said, we all have to do better. by the way, the villanova wildcats' men's basketball team was nominated for four espys, but walked away empty-handed. many thought nova would win for best play for this buzzer beater in the championship game against north carolina, right, you remember this? instead, that award went to aaron rodgers for a hail mary against a mediocre lion's team. well, a celebration of life service will be held in tennessee tonight for legendary

women's basketball coach, pat summitt. summitt died last month at the age of 64. she was the winningest coach in division i college basketball history. and new british prime minister theresa may is spending her first full day on the job. prime minister may arrived at number 10 downing street today. she took over yesterday after david cameron's registration game official. cameron stepped down in the wake of britain's vote to exit the european union. may began appointing her new cabinet within an hour of taking office and several posts went to people who supported leaving the eu. well, obesity has hit epidemic levels in america and it's important to have a healthy start in life. the one thing parents can do that can cut their child's chances of becoming obese later in life. 81 degrees and into the 90s this afternoon. we're seeing the skies brighten up over wilmingtomeninilmington

cloudy start this morning. and watching the skies for a chance of more showers and thunderstorms for parts of our area. the futurecast, hour by hour, when we come back.

the lehigh valley, in the suburbs, but they will be thinning out there, too. a big warm-up and we could see some showers and thunderstorms in this area later today. delaware, 84 degrees. south jersey is 85. and though it is going to be cooler at the shore, the temperatures are looking pretty warm right now. look at upper township, the cape may courthouse, 90 degrees. while may's landing a 89. right on the beach, the wind is coming in off the ocean. 81 degrees in atlantic city and ocean city is 84. so skies are clearing out, and that is going to push our temperatures into the hazardous zone. and it's not just today. it's also tomorrow. for philadelphia and delaware, look at the afternoon temperatures. we'll be in the 90s through the weekend, but the worst of it will be today and tomorrow. dover, the same story. 95 degrees today. 93 on friday, then not as hot for saturday and sunday. the lehigh valley, allentown, into the low 90s this afternoon and still steamy conditions for the weekend.

and the shore, the hottest days will be today and tomorrow, but still quite warm for saturday and sunday. it's why we've issued a first alert for the heat hazard for portions of pennsylvania, new jersey, and delaware. this afternoon, from noon until 8:00 friday evening for extreme heat, high heat and humidity, will make it feel like more than 100 degrees at times. and the first of it you'll feel this afternoon. the heat index projection. this is 4:00 this afternoon. clouds will be holing those numbers back in allentown and pottstown, but from doylestown in the suburbs to central new jersey, trenton, and burlington county, into south jersey for swedesboro and vorhees, wilmington, 102 degrees is what it will feel like this afternoon. even egg harbor township, 103 degrees this afternoon, while a nice, cooling breeze will keep avalon feeling like it's in the 70s. a steamy day, and steam, heat, and summertime, you can usually see some showers and thunderstorms. don't have any activity in the area just yet, but look to the

northwest. those showers that are moving to the north of harrisburg and past williamsport may hold together for parts of our area this afternoon. let's see, hour by hour, 1:30 this afternoon, we could see some scattered showers and possibly some thunderstorms from the suburbs into the lehigh valley. but the strongest storms will likely stay farther to the north. but we'll be keeping an eye on the radar through the day today. and watching those temperatures, into the 90s today and again tomorrow. a little bit of a break for the weekend. but still, hot enough to qualify as a heat wave. right on through the weekend and into next week. a chance for some late-day storms on monday. a better chance we'll see some wet weather on tuesday, and that's the one day we'll stay in the 80s, because it's back into the 90s starting on wednesday. we'll be right back.
