across the major interstates and the-mile-an-hour roads and also precip rate of a little over four inches an hour in some of the heaviest amounts. flood advisories are up because of this and also from new jersey that we saw earlier. if you're in mt. laurel you're seeing heavy rain and heavy rain there and the flood advisory from newcastle county towards new jersey neighborhoods up into burlington county. that's going to go until 6:15. we already have some flood roadways and even kreefnlgts take a look at where the storms are heading and when we'll dry out and more heat in the forecast coming up. >> a live look at the wells fargo center in south philadelphia. crews are preparing for the upcoming democratic national convention and take a look at what rolled into center city today. it is a replica of a fuselage from air force one. it was brought in with a police escort on a flatbed truck. this will be on display at the pennsylvania convention center.

some drama that just take place in cleveland. want to show you what happened in the past half hour. drama on the floor of the convention when anti-trump delegates, delegate unbound movement was trying to voice a roll call on the vote. a lot of shouting and chanting. the colorado delegation walked out of this convention floor, but in the end the rules stuck. they were not change and so that effort failed. joining me now is our republican analyst who is here in cleveland from philadelphia. jim schultz. thanks for being here this afternoon. we saw some drama did, we not? we did, we did. saw quite a bit of drama but not

all that exunexpected. i think the never trump movement had a last-ditch effort to try to call a roll call vote. they couldn't get it across the finish line. it wasn't expected they would get it across the finish line but what you heard was a whole lot of chaint chanting and most coming from folks who support sglump what does it say about the divisiveness in the republican party for this presumptive nominee. >> i don't believe it does. what it shows is we have a transparent process. the democrats do not do -- they do this under the cover of darkness. we air it out in public just like in the rules committee last week and that's what the republicans do. come together as a party and have been coming together as a party and large majority in this place have a ton of energy in supporting donald trump? do you think this seyfert dead at this point? >> yes, absolutely. >> reporter: tonight's theme is make america safe again. that a planned theme from about a month ago as i understand it but all the more timely given what's going on lately overseas and here in the states. police-involved shootings,

police shootings down south. what can we expect tonight along those lines with that theme? >> i think you're going see folks coming together and really trying to bring together this whole issue of the police-involved shootings, the police shootings, and i think you're going to see a very compassionate republican discussion and a lively republican discussion on this on how we address these issues. >> hey, we're expecting to see donald trump here at the convention floor tonight. that's an unusual move expected to introduce his wife melania who is a keynoter. >> certainly not typical, burks look, this is a donald trump candidacy. he hasn't run a typical campaign from the beginning. it's not a surprise that he wants to come out and introduce melania and then show support for all the folks here today supporting him. >> jim schushlgts our republican analyst at the republican national convention in cleveland. thanks so much for being here. more developments and more drama to come. hope you're sticking around. >> i'll be here all week.

>> with that, guys, back to you in philadelphia. >> all right. jim, thank, and we will continue our live coverage from cleveland all throughout rnc here on nbc 10 and on the nbc 10 app. look out for our live shows each night. convention starting tonight at 7:00 p.m. >> well, we saw some strong storms moving through the area and we have a new thunderstorm warning in parts of kept county. earlier it was newcastle and kent county. either way very strong storms moving. in the line has pretty much moved through philadelphia so now it's delaware and parts of south jersey we're watching. zoomed in through parts of newcastle and salem county and south jersey. a lot of lightning across red line across route 1. salem county seeing the heavy rain near the lower alloway creek. precip rate of 2 to 4 inches,

and now we're zooming out a little bit. summera down to 13 and close to dover. the heavy rain is still west of dover and it's headed in your direction. a lot of lightning in this as well right over middletown and just over that. now this thunderstorm is strong producing potentially winds near 60 miles an hour. a lot of heavy rain, potential hail and all the lightning you see. you definitely want to get indoors if you're in the path of this thing. upper deerfield can expect it by 5:32 and vineland 5:47. millville 5:51 so once it moves through delaware it will be moving into parts of newgersry. lightning strike 870 in the past five minutes a lot. precip rate a little 40e6r inches an hour and that's why there's flood advisories out for these exact areas. newcastle county and parts of salem county and flood advisory until 6:15 so basically we've seen enough heavy rain in this

storm for a long enough period of time because it's not a fast mover to potentially give us flooded roadways or creeks so that's one thing we'll be watching here, especially down through parts of kent county. expect that coming soon. now we're looking at new jersey. pockets of heavier rain in new jersey. heaviest already moved through philadelphia. just north of atlantic city now and egg harbor and i cross the ac expressway there's heavy rain as well and heavy pockets of rain moving through parts of burlington county w.any severe thunderstorms like i mentioned you see the yellow-shade area in kent county right across doefrmt that's that other severe thunderstorm warning and with any severe thunderstorms we can expect winds near 60 miles an hour. those are damaging winds, lightning, heavy rain and possible hail. so we still are under the severe thunderstorm watch until 8:00 p.m. this includes everybody. now this means until 8:00 tonight. we still have the potential of seeing severe thunderstorms so damaging storms. i think the main threat until

8:00 tonight will mostly be delaware and new jersey and everyone is pretty much fair game. future weather is showing the showers and storms through newcastle county down through parts of sussex county and into south jersey that. continues by 7:30 and quickly moves off sure. as we get closer to 10:00 tonight. then we start to dry out overnight and going into tomorrow a sunny day and you'll feel the humidity dropping throughout the day so it will be a much dryer day. look at the temperatures. already got into the mid-90s this afternoon. helped to fuel the storms out there now and temperatures have quickly cooled down so this is rain-cooled air. dover is still at 92, but there's a lot of heavy rain heading towards dover so that number is going to drop. 88 degrees vineland and 77 now in atlantic city so things have really started change as the rain is moving in, and it will continue to do so tomorrow. now for the next ten days we're going to be a little drier. tomorrow and wednesday, and by

drier i mean lower humidity so even though we're in the upper 80s tomorrow and wednesday it's going to be noticeably more comfortable, especially on wednesday and then we go into thursday, friday and even saturday. temperatures could approach 100 degrees on saturday and that's not factoring in the humidity so i'm going with a high of 98. we'll watch that as we go through the rest of the week but either way once we hit thursday more heat and more humidity into the weekend and then look as we go into next week the 90s are going to hang around and some afternoon thunderstorms as well. we'll take a closer look at the radar and we'll keep track the storms for you coming up. >> the phillies are expecting a special visitor tonight. a live look at citizens bank park and he'll be behind the fils dugout this evening. it's been a long road for him to get there and now he just needs the weather to cooperate.

wow, sky force 10 over breaking news in delaware county. the swift farms was damaged there by a storm that just moved through. right across the street from the haverford ymck on eagle road. the store still remains open and there were no reports of injuries. a police officer in delaware county shot seven times last month will show his support for

the phillies tonight. >> 25-year-old christopher dortmund will appear tonight. he volunteers with the fewer department. the suspect shooter still remains in jail and is charged with attempted murder. citizens bank part where the fils take on the miami marlins. gametime 7:05. back to this. the wait is over. the republican national convention is under way right now as we speak. >> this convention will come to order. the gathering started with the sound of a gavel but not everyone was there to hear t.jim rosenfield has that story live from cleveland next.

he could install your ceiling fan.ce said he couldn't. and that one time

ron said another chili dog was a good idea. yeah, it wasn't. so when ron said you'd never afford a john deere tractor, you knew better. now ron does too. the e series. legendary john deere quality. unexpected low price. e series compact tractors come with an industry-best, six-year, no-cost powertrain warranty.

>> this was the scene about an hours ago. heavy rain opened up in pennsauken. heavy rain and wind made it difficult for drivers out there. the first alert radar lit up like a christmas tree all across the region. >> here's a look at what's going on outside right now. you're looking live at citizens bank park in south philadelphia. the rain looks like it has stopped and the sun is just beginning to peek out. let's get a check of the weather

right now and how it's affecting you with our neighborhood forecast. >> nbc 10 first alert meteorologist sheena par convenient with the late on these storms. sheena? >> if you're in delaware, the storms are really affecting you and you want to take cover and get inside. severe, kent county and newcastle county and still dealing with a lot of lightning through some parts of newcastle county and we'll zoom in here. all the lightning strikes crossing the delaware bay into parts of salem county and lower alloway creek seeing lot of lightning. could be looking at localized street and creek flooding here and we'll watch these storms as they move into south jersey. otherwise we have a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of kent county including dover until 6:15 and that's all top of smyrna right now. all moving east to around 40 hours or so. vineland 5:49 and commercial by 6:02, so, again, these storms that are moving into delaware or through delaware at the moment will be moving into south jersey

and i don't expect them to weaken too much. they are fairly strong and they are holding on to the strength. lightning strikes, almost 1,000 within the past 15 minutes in this area alone. 965 so this is a very strong storm. we could be looking at winds near 60 miles an hour and also the heavy rain and the precip rate is about 289 3/4 inches per hour, almost 3 inches per hour so the threat of flooding exists as we go into newcastle county and salem county and the area still flooding. localized streets and if you're-year is prone to flooding you probably are seeing flooding in these sections. that will go until 6:15. never drive through flooded roadways. now we're looking in new jersey closer to the shore. we have lines of heavy rain and thunderstorms right near vineland across the ac expressway and just north of atlantic city. coming up we'll keep tracking the storms for you and for the  rest of the area this evening, let you know where you're heading and also some hot

temperatures still in the forecast this week. we're going to be back in the 90s even though we'll a little cooldown now with the rain. i'll show you that coming up. >> sky force 10 over delaware county. this is in may havertown. no damages over swiss farms where there was re down. >> a lot of storm damage we've been covering lately. turning our sights to the republican national convention. it's under way in cleveland. a lot of republicans who aren't there though including many from new jersey and pennsylvania. >> and we wanted to ask them why. so nbc 10 jersey shore bureau reporter ted greenberg tracked some republicans down to find out. >> i didn't think that my loyalty to the republican party needs a signature attached to it. >> reporter: speaking before michigan's republican delegates outside cleveland new jersey governor chris christie scolded

prominent members of the gop who aren't supporting donald trump. >> i signed that pledge. >> reporter: the pledge christie referred to is one he and other former republican presidential candidates signed to back the party's eventual nominee. >> it's unacceptable to me and it should be unacceptable to you that anyone who sign that had pledge is not now adhering to that pledge and supporting our party's nominee. >> reporter: former florida governor jeb bush is among those not attending the rnc in cleveland, neither are his brother and father, the former bush presidents. also absent, pennsylvania u.s. senator pat toomey who is campaigning for re-election and two former new jersey governors, tom cane and christie whitman. >> let's see what it's going to do and we'll know that after the convention is over. >> reporter: another says the key thing to watch will be if those skipping the convention

have an impact on trump's potential post-cleveland bounce. >> we will see if donald trump and his vice presidential nominee can pull together a cohesiveness that makes the republican party in general want to support the platform and the candidates. >> reporter: south jersey republican congressman frank lobiando is not in cleveland either and spent the day with his family. his spokesman pointsous he did not attend gop conventions in 2012 and 2008. in galloway township, i'm ted greenberg, nbc 10 news. we'll continue our live coverage from cleveland all throughout the week on nbc 10 and on our nbc 10 app. look for coverage from the convention each night starting at 7:00 p.m. breaking news to give you from germany. nbc news has confirmed that at least 15 people were injured in an attack on a train. officials say at some point an ax or a knife-weelgd person went

sky force 10 back over delaware county. this time take it a look at this. more trees down. this is our fourth scene this town in may havertown in the middle of that intersection. we see it is roped off a little bit by police. you can see the yellow police tape and as we pan down even more trees so you can see the severity of this storm as it moved through quite quickly. meteorologist sheena par convenient has been watching the string of storms moving through. right now it's over lower alloway creek, upper deerfield and lower bridgeton and she will join us in a bit with that severe thunderstorm watch. >> and now the fallout following sunday's ambush on police in baton rouge, louisiana. a gunman killed three officers and wounded three others. the attack comes two weeks after an attack that left five officers dead in dallas. now the violence has police under added pressure. >> as nbc 10's drew smith reports people who have served their communities for decades

>> we're still watching storms move through and a lot are very strong especially in new jersey and delaware. take a look at radar here. we have very strong storms in the moment and that's where you see the yellow-shaded area in kent county. newcastle county and moving into salem county and lower alloway creek and heavy rain and a lot of lightning. severe thunderstorm warning until 6:15. heavy rain and a lot of lightning here so if you're in these areas definitely stay indoors until this storm passes. it will continue to move into south jersey so we eeblg watching that very closely. now the track. storms mainly moving into the east right around 30 to 40 miles an hour. it's going to move into south jersey here very soon. if you're in milford expect to t by 5:52 if you're in commercial 6:07 and maurice river by 6:10.

localized flooding, so aside from the lightning and damaging winds we're also looking that the flooding across the area so localized street and creek flooding. definitely a concern through new jersey and delaware and what we even saw earlier was new jersey was dealing with the heavy rain which has then lightened up but now we're seeing it heavier again closer to the shore so the main concerns until 8:00 tonight will be heavy rain and potentially damaging winds and lightning, the possibility of hail and still in a severe thunderstorm watch until 8:00 tonight. at that time new jersey and delaware will be dealing with the heavy rain and thunderstorm activity, again, some of which could be strong but main area that we're real keeping our eye on is dell way, parts of kent county, especially around dover right now and as we go into south jersey so these are all areas that we'll be watching for the next couple of hours here so we'll update you on this. where the storms are heading and we'll look at the ten-day forecast and it's a 90-degree temperatures do come back, it's
