clear choice in this election. as we've been mentioning, bernie sanders is also set to speak tomorrow along with first lady michelle obama. we'll run through more of what's expected here tomorrow coming up at 11:15. for now, let's go back inside to the nbc 10 studios and denise kna nakano. >> we'll be bringing you our newscasts live from the kimmel center live from the dnc. count on our specials tomorrow night at 7:00. 250 tons worth of extra air conditioning equipment will be running here at the wells fargo center tomorrow to try to keep delegates cool in the potentially record-breaking heat. this arena ran into some heat issues on peak nights of the republican national convention back in the year 2000. meteorologist karen thomas is timing out the sweltering temperatures in the first alert neighborhood forecast. karen, it will be super hot and super humid. >> like the way you say super hot, super humid. for sure, denise.

and let's hope that there are no problems with the air conditioning, especially tomorrow. an excessive heat warning for the city of philadelphia and surrounding counties here in the pink until tomorrow at 6:00 p.m., and the heat advisories will go into effect tomorrow for everywhere else. so, very hot, very humid tomorrow. we'll get to the actual temperatures for tomorrow, startling, for sure. 82 degrees right now in philadelphia, so not cooling off much in the city. temperature will drop to the upper 70s overnight. we are in the upper 70s out here in coatesville, 81 right now in wilmington, still 81 degrees in allentown. and the humidity will actually be building as we move through the overnight into early tomorrow. the record tomorrow in philadelphia, 96 degrees, set in 1999. that's the number to beat. we're looking for a projected high tomorrow of 99 degrees, so very good chance that we will beat the record. today we stopped 95, but it felt more like 98 degrees. that's what we mean by the heat index. so, for tomorrow, if we get to 99 degrees, which is likely, tomorrow outdoors, it's going to

feel more like 105 degrees. >> ooh, all right, karen. thank you. well, in delaware county, at least 28 people were hospitalized after a chain-reaction crash involving a septa bus, a tractor-trailer and at least two cars. skyforce10 over providence road and lansdowne avenue just after 6:00 tonight. investigators say the bus slammed into an suv that pulled out of a driveway, then hit the truck. we're told two pedestrians are in critical condition tonight. up next, prepared for anything. that's how police are treating the dnc. the nbc 10 investigators get exclusive access to how they're making sure the convention stays secure. plus, will the entire russian olympic team be banned from competing in rio? the decision over the country's doping scandal, that's next.

secret service's virtual model of the dnc. >> we take thousands of photographs. >> reporter: bob langham's team built it. it's almost as detailed as the real thing. >> for example, there is the exit and the stairs. that's the correct number of stairs. >> reporter: dozens of agents, including those on the president's protective detail, won't be able to get here before the convention. they use the model to prepare. >> to have the ability to see the route that the president's going to travel in to see the gate that he's going to come through, the door that he's going to walk through or the route that he's going to walk through to get to the stage. it's an invaluable tool. >> reporter: it shows the perimeter fencing that will line broad street, the area between citizens bank park and xfinity live, and behind the convention under i-95. you can go inside the wells fargo center, too. philly police also trained here at the secret service training center in maryland. we were there but not allowed to record the training due to security concerns. but the secret service released an edited version of the

training only to nbc 10. it shows agents training for an assault on the wells fargo center. a motorcade ambush and the simple medical emergency. >> it's a larger scale, but it's not different because we deal and train for this type of stuff. that's why we're here. >> the nbc 10 investigators were given exclusive access as s.w.a.t. officers like sergeant joe mcdonald trained with the pennsylvania state police, the fbi and the secret service. >> what do you expect for the dnc? >> to be honest, i really don't know. i think in light of what's been going on the last week, there's got potential to be a problem. >> reporter: more than 200 officers and agents spent the day making sure when this model turns into the real thing, it's as smooth as they practiced. now, all of this security costs a lot of extra money. the city of philadelphia will get more than $40 million from the federal government. the city will also hire private security to help secure the area outside of the secret service's perimeter. for the investigators, i'm mitch blacher, nbc 10 news. >> so, here's a look at what's

happening tomorrow here at the wells fargo center. the day gets started at 10:00 a.m. with several caucus and council meetings. at 4:30, it's the gavel in for the dnc. the list of speakers includes clinton's former opponent during the primary run, senator bernie sanders, first lady michelle obama will deliver the keynote address to close out the night. we'll broadcast live from the wells fargo center tomorrow and every day at the dnc. we'll also bring you a one-hour special, "nbc 10 live at the democratic national convention" starts tomorrow night at 7:00. and of course, the dnc's causing some disruptions to everyday life in philadelphia. denise nakano has more on that. >> keith it may be a long ride to work on i-95. get ready for delays this week if i-95 is part of your daily travel through south philadelphia. traffic restrictions will be in effect on 95 north approaching exit 13 and south approaching exit 22. one lane in each direction will

be closed. now, this is video from today that shows the lane closures. police are enforcing a 5-ton commercial truck restriction in that area. you can track all the road closures the dnc is causing with the nbc 10 app. and the heat wasn't helping the situation on roads today. skyforce10 over the washington avramp to 95 north. officials were forced to shut it down when the road buckled under the intense heat. crews were on scene to make the necessary repairs. and that heat is only going to get more intense tomorrow when we could break a temperature record as that humidity goes back up again. and for the sweltering details, let's get to the first alert neighborhood forecast with meteorologist karen thomas. karen? >> all right, denise. yes, hopefully, everybody has a plan for a cool place tomorrow, because the heat and humidity will be building as we make our way through our monday. right now, temperatures really not cooling off too quickly. 80 degrees right now in the burbs. it's 82 in center city, 79 down

here in north wildwood. on the boardwalk we see some people walking around, and of course, no jackets necessary. lehigh valley, 81. 81 in delaware. we are expecting the winds to stay fairly mild. we've got a southeasterly flow right now, not doing too badly, 3 miles per hour there in philadelphia. overnight tonight, we are expecting a heavy cloud cover and chance of some rain moving through the area, especially through the overnight. our headlines. the humidity returning and just get ready for the soaring temperatures for tomorrow. temperatures could be as high as 99 degrees in philadelphia. so you're going to want to take notice of that, for sure. then we are looking for the potential for late-day storms tomorrow. if you hear rumbles of thunder late in the day, early evening, take that seriously as well. temperatures right now just across the board on the warm side. a little cooler down here at the jersey shore and interior south jersey. 75 degrees in south jersey. we'll take you through neighborhoods here in and around philadelphia. 78 right now in chestnut hill,

84 degrees in society hill and 82 degrees right now in pennsport. so, as i was saying, i want to show you again, the excessive heat warning is for all the areas here in pink, and that means you really shouldn't expose yourself outdoors for too long, especially if you're in sort of a severe breathing group. elderly, young children, you want to take it easy. we're going to have heat advisories in effect across the region tomorrow simply to alert people that it is going to be dangerously hot and humid. and guess what? the heat and humidity really stay with us as we move all the way through the beginning of our workweek. you can see the seven-day forecast at the bottom of your screen, and it lets you know that we will stay in the 90s with the humidity all the way through. so, here's a look at your ten-day for philadelphia. and tomorrow we are looking for a high temperature of 99 degrees. as we get to 99, we will break our record. we're looking for late-day storms, early evening storms. as we get to tuesday, we sort of

moderate a bit, but we don't really cool off. 96 for a high in and around philadelphia, 94 midweek. and let's just roll right through the rest of the week with our 90-degree temperatures. and we do have some late-day storms. another front comes into the picture thursday and friday. it isn't until we get to next weekend that it looks like we get back to a more average high temperature of 87 degrees. coming up in sports, the pride of phoenixville high school, mike piazza received baseball's ultimate honor this afternoon. hear what he had to say in his hall of fame induction speech, next in sports.

we'll drop just a bit. temperatures overnight, we are looking for them to be in the mid to upper 70s. so, humidity will be building as we move through the overnight hours. waking up tomorrow morning, if you step out early, you will feel dew points on the rise. so, we'll give you the ten-day forecast. 99 degrees in philadelphia. that's what we're shooting for for a high temperature tomorrow, but you add in the humidity, it's going to feel more like 105 tomorrow. so, really, if you can stay indoors, take the heat seriously. you don't want to exert yourself too much or stay outdoors for too long tomorrow because we have that excessive heat warning. we'll drop down little bit on tuesday, 96 degrees. 94 by wednesday. but look at this, we stay in the lower 90s all the way through the rest of the. we get a cold front that comes in thursday into friday and that could kick off some storms. it isn't until next weekend that we get back to normal high temperatures of about 87 degrees. >> all right, karen. thank you. listen to this, a local kid's birthday surprise is going
