dover, 88 for you. again, the dewpoints in the 60s and 70s. atlantic city, 88 degrees. that's your current temperature. topping out in the mid 90s for many. otherwise, right now, our first alert dangerous heat advisory, new jersey, southeastern pennsylvania and northern delaware. so keep that in mind until at least 8:00 p.m., once the sun sets conditions will feel a lot better, although the dewpoints will still be in the 70s. so be mindful of the elderly and pets. heat indices in the hundreds which means it will feel like temperatures in the hundreds. philadelphia has noticed a couple breaks in the cloud. otherwise the clouds are already starting to redevelop ahead of a frontal boundary. so more weather stories include rain showers after 2:00 p.m. ahead of that cold front. i do think it's actually going to be a strong one with south westerly and westerlies kicking up quite a bit. rounds of thunder especially likely after 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. and the threat of one or two isolated severe storms. so keep that in mind, especially for your afternoon and evening

commute. here it is, your satellite and radar image as we get this going. you can see the frontal boundary cutting across parts of new york state, pennsylvania also seeing active weather already so this is headed towards the southeast there. we are seeing ground clutter right here but this active weather is headed our way. i do expect some thunderstorms in the next couple ever hours so keep in mind especially for that afternoon and evening commute, i can't stress that enough. hour by hour, starting this at 11:00 a.m., notice the showers kind of moving on in, a few yellows there, some darker green so it looks benign but we get this going, pause it here, the philly metro area. even though we are seeing yellow, i do think we will see stronger storms so something to keep in mind. that's because we do have southwesterly to westerly winds moving across the appalachians. as they slide down, that will pick up some speed, lots of energy so this is why i do think don't be surprised if you see one or two strong storms by about midnight, we start to see a little bit of a break but more

showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for tomorrow. here's the ten-day on 10. notice more thunderstorms in the forecast for tomorrow although i do think we will see a break. we still have some showers to deal with and temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 80s. the best day of the week would have to be wednesday, 85. overnight lows mainly in the 70s and 60s wednesday into thursday. the coolest day of the week, but then look at this, it looks like we are trending towards another heat wave by the end of the week into the weekend. we can't catch a break but be sure if you download our news app you will get more information. >> that's great. you are holding back the laughs as you say the coolest day of the week will be in the 80s. still ahead, spicing it up. the new study that shows why cinnamon might be the magic ingredient you need to give you a big brain boost. details are just ahead. first, open your home and your heart to a new family member. this cute cat is just one of the many adorable pets up for adoption. we will tell you why this coming

dangerous heat condition for today and we are not going to get a break, not until wednesday, unfortunately. where, new jersey, southeastern pennsylvania, north delaware. the national weather service has issued a hazardous advisory as far as heat is concerned. and until 8:00 p.m. so not until the sun sets, unfortunately, but dewpoints will still be really high. it will be muggy through the overnight hours. heat indices feeling like it's over 100 degrees. so our expected high for today, mainly in the mid to upper 90s for many, but as you can see here, it's going to feel much warmer than the actual temperature so along the jersey shore, we are seeing temperatures feeling like 101 degrees even though we are going to top out in the upper 80s. so unfortunately, due to the really high dewpoints, it's going to feel uncomfortable and dangerous, so stay hydrated throughout the entire day. our next weather story for the second half of the day would be right behind me, we see the showers moving on through. that cold front sliding down

very quickly. it's been moving quickly all day long. the winds coming out of the southwest eventually shifting out of the west, so expect some showers and thunderstorms for the evening commute. so the first half of the day, we have to deal with the really high heat indices and now dealing with the threat of some showers and some thunderstorms. not catching a break until wednesday. back to you. >> we look forward to wednesday. thank you. today, investigators in baton rouge, louisiana are trying to figure out if the gunman in a deadly ambush on police officers had any accomplices. police were responding to reports of a man with an assault rifle yesterday morning when authorities say 29-year-old gavin long opened fire on them. officers montrell jackson, matthew gerald, were killed as well as sheriff's deputy brad garafola. three other officers were injured. fellow officers shot and killed long. u.s. attorney general loretta lynch this morning called the baton rouge shootings senseless. speaking at the annual

thunderstorms in the forecast. if you follow us on twitter and on facebook, you will be updated often throughout the day. philadelphia, notice these clouds developing very quickly. so important, these are vertical clouds developing so it means we do have the potential for storms to start firing up very soon. i say another two to three hours as the cold front dips down. i will get to that in just a moment. otherwise, right now, satellite and radar image showing everything out to the northwest. in one moment i will show you the hour by hour forecast. notice here we are seeing some thunderstorms, some lightning, already getting tracked here. everything moving towards the area. very hot, muggy conditions. later on we have to deal with severe weather, the likelihood of thunderstorms i'd say widespread but one or two strong storms as i mentioned. here is hour by hour forecast. starting at 11:30 a.m., i do worry that some of these may be a little bit stronger even though you are noticing here, they are not very organized. as this cold front picks up steam down slope, you will notice the winds kicking up out of the west. a couple of really strong wind

gusts ranging between 20, 30 miles per hour. again, look at the bottom of the screen for the neighborhood outlook. by 9:00 p.m., notice a little bit of clearing but we are not done yet. this front will be stationary so a few more showers in the forecast for early tomorrow. so your ten day on 10 is as follows. notice this icon, we are seeing some thunderstorms in the forecast. temperatures in the 90s. by tomorrow, a little cooler, upper 80s, but still very muggy. dewpoints in the 70s. my pick of the week, wednesday, sun and clouds, lots of sunshine, but the good news is, dewpoints will be in the 60s and temperatures in the low to mid 80s. here's the deal. another heat wave in the works by thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, and trending pretty much in the 90s. i do think we will see one or two scattered showers somewhere between saturday and sunday. of course, if you follow us, we will have more updates for you. the big deal is, follow us on facebook, on twitter and you will get more updates. back to you.

welcome back. just a few minutes before noon on your monday. there are so many animals in need of a good home and nbc 10 and telemundo 62 are tying to help with our second annual clear the shelters event. this morning we take a look at a unique program that gives dogs with medical problems a better chance at getting adopted.

on a day like today, penn vet in university city is packed with dogs and cats getting routine checkups. in the mix, blossom, a sweet and soft-tempered chow here for a very different reason. >> do we know whether she's spayed? >> she is intact. >> blossom has a large mammary tumor. the previous owners not only didn't treat it, they did worse. >> somebody saw this dog not getting the care that she needed tied up outside. >> she was rescued, sent to a shelter in lancaster county and is now being fostered by pam wise, who brought her to penn vet. they have a unique program to treat shelter dogs with mammary gland tumors at no cost. so they have a better chance at being adopted. >> many people do go to shelters to adopt dogs but they are looking for younger dogs,

healthier dogs, not looking for old dogs with tumors. >> the doctor began the nonprofit program and sis says the rewards are two-fold. >> the diseases you see in dogs are very similar to diseases you see in people, including cancer. >> dogs like blossom undergo surgery within days of being seen. the tumors are removed, studied and information is shared with oncologists who are treating human breast cancer. dogs with a good prognosis get a real chance at finding that forever home. >> coming up with the money to take care of her like this would have been a real problem. so i'm very thankful. >> through this program and through the funding, i can provide them that second chance at life. >> good luck to blossom. nbc 10 has a mission, clear the
