that's a bonus. it's still going to be hot, though. temperatures still around 90 degrees. just a little more comfortable and not feeling like 100 this weekend. next week, however, the humidity's going to go up again. we have another round of showers and storms. so at least one day the rain will help to cool us down. but that's going to be one of the rainier days. actual temperatures in the 90s. 94 through philadelphia. mid-90s in delaware. low 90s through much of south jersey and pennsylvania suburbs. you see how much of a difference the humidity makes, about a ten-degree difference for at least most of the area. philadelphia neighborhood temperatures, again, 90s. 94 philly international. 94 parkside. 95 society hill. bustleton 94. as well as winchester park. it is going to stay very warm and humid tonight and overnight. and even as you wake up tomorrow morning. a lot like this morning. so the excessive heat warning and heat advisory, that continues for tomorrow as well as today. temperatures mid-90s, feeling

like triple digits. that's why we're staying this is potentially dangerous heat. we're dry right now on radar. i really don't think we're going to see any more rain relief as we go through tonight. the only thunderstorms we have were earlier this afternoon through the lehigh valley. those have quickly moved away. tomorrow, i really don't think we're going to see much in the way of rain relief either. we've gotten to the mid-90s in philadelphia. felt around 104. tomorrow feels around 100. i mentioned the humidity will be lower saturday. that's going to make a bit of a difference there. high of 90 for saturday. maybe feeling a couple degrees warmer, but not feeling like the triple digits like we are today. as we go through time, overnight and into tomorrow, we'll be staying mostly dry. tomorrow afternoon, there's a chance we could see some showers try to pop up. i don't think it's going to be very widespread. then tomorrow evening, we're still going to be very warm and very humid going into your weekend. your weekend forecast going to stay hot.

saturday there's a chance we could have a pop-up afternoon shower or thunderstorm. but it's going to be a mostly dry day with the heat still here, right around 90 degrees for most of the area saturday. some spots in the mid to upper 80s with less humidity. into your sunday, temperatures still around 90. monday, we start next week with a little bit more humidity. with temperatures in about the mid to low 90s. your beach forecast, shore forecast as well this weekend, saturday 86 degrees. mostly sunny. sunday, a little more in the way of cloud cover, 85 degrees. wildwood for saturday, expect temperatures mid-80s. on sunday we'll still see the mid-80s. if you're heading to cape may, expect your weekend to be in the mid-80s, mostly dry there, too. don't forget the sun block. sunburn in 10 to 15 minutes. the sun is intense along with the heat as well. the weekend forecast coming up. happening right now, workers have gathered in minnesota. >> jim rosenfield is in the

but how do you know which one to buy? and are they worth your money? jim rossen is going to be up next with the details. you probably heard the term gmo, referring to the ingredients in your food and how they're made. the government is now getting involved in how you buy these products. how it may affect your next trip to the grocery store.

for the first time consumers will be able to find out if their food contains genetically modified ingredients, or gmos. congress sent legislation to president barack obama today requiring most food packages to include a label, symbol or electronic code with the information. it calls for the usda to decide which ingredients will classify as genetically modified. gmos stands for genetically modified organisms, and it means that the food has been engineered to have new traits by slicing in other genetic material. for example, making them more resistant to bugs, the process, worrisome people, some consumers who fear it could be harmful. somehow harmful to them, or the environment. but the fda regulates ---at least 90% of all soybean and

i put three of 24e78 on the same wrist. because that way there's no change, right? i'm taking the same amount of steps on each one. walked around the streets. then looked at each one to see how many steps each set i took. they were wildly different. so the question is, exactly what you asked, who are you supposed to trust? by the way, we tested three of the most popular. we do fitbit, garmin, and jawbone up. we went to the hospital for special surgery in new york at a performance lab and i walked 500 steps. i'm still wearing the three on my wrist. we get off and see which one is closest. and we are naming names tonight on "nbc nightly news." plus on top of that, why do we walk? i know why i walk around, to be healthy and lose weight. and how many calories am i burning? these fitness trackers, they monitor and track your calories as well. so we find out on their special

super-duper special computer how many calories i actually burned, and then we see what each fitness tracker says. this one is a real shocker. like i said, we're going to reveal the results tonight. it will change the way you walk tomorrow. >> all right, jeff. jeff rossen live up in new york. thanks for that. you'll see jeff's final results, watch "nbc nightly news" with lester holt right here on nbc 10. next at 5:00, the speculation over donald trump's vp selection continues to grow. >> yeah, plus trump gets an apology from a supreme court justice. we're keeping track of the dangerous heat. here's a live look over center city, philadelphia. sheena parveen will show us what's in store for the part of 9 weekend at 5:00.

digits right now across the area. and this is going to be the case again tomorrow. so this is why we have these excessive heat warnings out for today and tomorrow. expect this to continue for your friday. so if you think this is too hot to be outside today, tomorrow, try to avoid several hours at a time outside. stay hydrated and stay in the shade. feels like 100 degrees in philadelphia. feels like 104 in dover. allentown feels like 95. trenton feels like 99 degrees. now, here is the actual temperature outside. 94 is the actual temperature in philadelphia. 93 in dover. the first alert because of what i just showed you, for pennsylvania, new jersey, and delaware, from now until 8:00 p.m. tomorrow. so the temperatures are going to continue in the 90s, tomorrow, plus high humidity, making it feel like triple-digit heat. that's potentially dangerous across the area. if you look at the seven-day at the bottom of the screen, that

shows you how much longer the heat's going to last. the humidity will be a little bit lower this weekend. so it's not going to feel like it does today. excessive heat warning, heat advisories out because of the triple-digit heat. so we have to keep reminding everyone to stay hydrated. again, this is potentially dangerous if you're outside especially for several hours at a time. we're dry on radar. the storms that moved through earlier are now moving through new york. so we don't have to worry about any rain relief. we're not going to see that tonight. really, tomorrow, too. if you combine today and tomorrow and saturday's temperature together, that would technically be a heat wave. the heat's actually going to be continuing as we go into next week. the 90s are going to stay in the frasmt. coming up, we'll look at what your weekend looks like across each neighborhood. not everyone is going to be at 90 degrees this weekend. we'll see who can expect a shower and more heat next week, that's coming up. a mom from delaware is facing charges for leaving her toddler in a hot car with the windows up. delaware state police suspect
