severe storms are rolling in this afternoon. and we could get a lot of heavy rain over the next several hours. let's take a live look outside over the ben franklin bridge. it is gray and wet out there. the rain tapered off a little bit, but you can still see gloomy skies out there. the radar shows very active scene right now. let's get right to first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz tracking these storms for us. >> jim, the problem is, these storms are moving so slowly. and a little bit chaotically. so this is the main area, as you can see, with the lightning strikes generally south of the philadelphia area. there's another fairly large storm up in berks county. the rest of the area we're dealing with heavy rain. because we're not dealing wa lot of movement. very often you get severe thunderstorms that move 40, 50, 60 miles an hour. these are moving 10 to 15 miles an hour, redeveloping in some areas, falling apart in others. and so as you can see in

philadelphia itself, we're not seeing as heavy of rain as we are across the river. gloucester county really getting hit. glassboro getting some of the heaviest rain right now going into winslow. a very, very slow movement, and that is why there is a flood advisory for much of the philadelphia area, northern delaware much of south jersey here. that is until 8:00 tonight. there will be some localized flooding out there as more rain continues. the storm in berks county not moving very much. there is a flood advisory for that, too. the doppler estimates in the blues, many areas already over an inch. and some over two, as you can see in the purplest colors. mostly in delaware. we've got one area north of dover tracking over three inches of rain. and much of that has fallen just in two or three hours. another big burst farther to the north in delaware.

but in bucks county, for example, mercer county, not a drop of rain so far during the day today. you can see some of these rainfall amounts, two, three, four inches of rain. as we go through the evening, we're going to have more showers and storms move through the area. it's not going to be raining all night. but the threat of rain will continue all night as another area moves in from the west later on during the evening, and through the overnight hours. another round of very heavy rain on top of what has already occurred, could certainly cause some more flooding. i'll be back more with the timing and what to expect for the weekend a little bit later. >> glenn, we'll check back with you again. thanks so much. hillary clinton takes the stage at the democratic national convention, hoping to persuade americans she's the person best qualified to run the country. it will be the first speech of its kind given by a woman. aundrea cline-thomas spoke to voters today about her speech.

>> reporter: many of people likened it to the feeling barack obama was elected president. there's so much excitement ahead of hillary clinton's speech tonight. but they also stress the importance of championing women's issues in all levels of government. their fight song is about empowerment and progress. >> so if you hear a little crashing sound, it means, women, we're cracking, we're breaking another glass ceiling. >> reporter: at today's women caucus meeting, the anticipation is mounting before hillary clinton's historic speech, accepting her presidential nomination. >> i am totally ecstatic. i'm totally excited. i'm excited about seeing the speech tonight. >> reporter: delegates have been doing the hard work on the ground for years.

she's informing voters about local candidates, too. >> hard work is definitely paying off. you cannot expect to achieve anything without hard work. >> reporter: it's validation for a fight that spans generations. even with tonight's milestone, the work continues for many issues they say are currently under attack. and those issues include equal pay for equal work and reproductive rights. now, coming up at 6:00, we're going to speak to some of the trail blazers of that movement, and tell you what they say is at stake. reporting live outside the convention center, aundrea cline-thomas, nbc 10 news. >> the buzz isn't just in this building, voters across the area are attending watch parties. they say it's a week to remember. >> it has been such an incredible event. and philadelphians have come

together. >> good time. that's what the democratic national convention should be about. people understanding what the speesms are about and understanding the messages. >> that's interesting to see a lot of the people you see on tv coming out, you see them here. it's different than what it normally is around these parts, yeah. >> chelsea clinton will introduce her mother tonight. we're told it's just that, an introduction. she's not expected to talk policy. just how proud and excited she to see her mother accept the nomination, be there with her. the final night comes packed with a lot of momentum. nbc 10's lauren mayk is joining us from the convention floor. she's been embedded at times with the delegates all week. what's the excitement like down there now? >> reporter: one delegate said she is tired, but she is invigorated. this is day four. and right now as we stand here, delegates are filing into this arena to hear hillary clinton make her own case tonight after a week of others making the case

for her. now, last night was filled with a lot of star power. and it all leads up to tonight. >> i am feeling so excited about tonight's speech. to see secretary clinton come out after president obama's speech last night. >> reporter: give me a sense of how you're feeling today. >> i'm feeling much better about it. i think that so far things have gone wonderfully. they've gone very smoothly. the case has been made for hillary clinton. and the case has definitely been made against donald trump. >> reporter: that last person you heard from, that is a bernie sanders delegate from philadelphia. he tells me that he will be voting for hillary clinton. and he says that that personal speech from bill clinton was really the one that made the biggest difference for him. jim? >> words do count. lauren mayk, thank you so much. there appears to be more unity

among democrats as we move into day four of this convention. but the protesters are still out there. seven people were detained by police entering a restricted area after they rushed a police barrier about an hour earlier. 34 people were issued fines for a sit-in at the same location. same thing happened just before noon when ten demonstrators entered the comcast building in center city. bernie sanders is trying to unite the party on the final night of their convention. he took the message into the suburbs today. deanna durante was there. >> reporter: he's the man they want to see lead the party. >> he was my guy. i started out with bernie. he's wonderful. the goal is to beat donald trump. >> worker productivity has gone up. >> reporter: his campaign has been a revolution and those who say he was defeated said the

fight is far from over. starting to bring about social reform, bernie sanders' speech is less about hillary clinton and more about preventing a trump presidency. >> senator, some of your supporters say they still can't get behind hillary clinton. what can you say to them? >> reporter: refusing to take questions in between speeches, his supporters say their distrust in the democratic party is preventing them from continuing to attend the convention. >> i didn't say i wouldn't vote for her. i just -- a stronger candidate did not win. >> reporter: others say unity now is the only choice for november's election. >> i still like bernie sanders. they're going to see us in 2017. i mean, we're not going away. so whoever's out there, we're going to be there in d.c. on the phones, at our state capitols, pushing issues that we care about. >> reporter: sanders told the crowd that the political revolution doesn't end here.

he said their work begins again the day after election day. in valley forge, deanna durante, nbc 10 news. >> the democrats' newly appointed vp candidate is mocking donald trump at the virginia delegation breakfast. tim kaine called out trump for confusing him with tom cain. >> he pointed out what a lousy governor of new jersey i was. >> the virginia senator said he's not usually a trash talker, but he just couldn't help himself. meanwhile, donald trump said he was just being sarcastic when he asked russia to find hillary clinton's missing e-mails. trump clarified thinks comments this morning. but the clinton campaign is not buying it and accusing trump of pushing espionage against an american.

har harry reid couldn't resist taking a shot at trump. he said he can't be trusted. the senate minority leader wondered if trump violated a law of barring u.s. citizens with negotiating with foreign governments. today is no different, lenny kravitz and lady gaga put on a show today for thousands of delegates across the river. nbc 10's south jersey reporter cydney long has the story from camden. >> reporter: thankfully the rain didn't drive many away. lady gaga, lenny kravitz and the delaware valley's been rocking the stage since 1:30 this afternoon. the concert was invite only. but we have close friends close to the stage to bring you the best pictures. energized and enthusiastic dnc crowd came to their feet to the music of lady gaga, and lenny

kravitz who performed american woman for the second time in two days he rallied hillary supporters. it was an invite-only concert at the performers' request. this video sent by a fan inside. >> i feel awesome just to see her. >> reporter: young girls drill team are pinching themselves. >> they're so involved in performing arts. lady gaga, are you serious? in camden? i'm ecstatic. >> reporter: with the philadelphia skyline as the back drop, delegates came by ferry, or by train. some for the very first time to a city long famed for dangerous crime. >> the river behind us, as i call the river of democracy, links our two cities. we've been together for hundreds of years. we have great relationships. and now camden has really stepped up and is growing, and it's a new day. >> reporter: the dnc concert camden rising got its name due

to a dramatic turn-around in education and economic job growth. president obama endorsed camden's policing model during his visit here in may of 2015. shania believes in unity, believes in hillary, and is proud to be part of a comment built on partnerships. >> we dance, and we nurture, like kids, get them off the streets and into something productive. >> we're really proud of it. we want to show the world. >> reporter: in all there were about 15,000 people in attendance. and closer to 4:00, some of those delegates are catching rides back across the river now to get their seats on the convention floor at the wells fargo center, saying tonight's acceptance speech by clinton will by far be the grand finale. from camden, i'm cydney long, nbc 10 news. >> and hope they have their umbrellas handy. the big name performances continue tonight, celebrities and politicians showing up in

force. among them, katy perry. perry ran through two very familiar songs she'll perform tonight. one is her hit "roar." the singer set to take the stage right before chelsea clinton introduces her mom. carole king will also perform tonight. and rapper snoop dogg gets into the convention spirit tonight, here he is throwing out the first pitch at a padres game. tonight he will be in old city. snoop headlining a unity party to celebrate hillary clinton's nomination party. hosted by mary louise parker. it kicks off when the convention ends. if the last few nights of any indication, dnc guests will celebrate into the wee hours of the morning. this week has been busier than when the pope was in town. >> reporter: it was a long and late night into the early

morning for hank henson who works at brew in center city. >> last night was amazing. it was some record crowds. >> reporter: after president obama's speech, hundreds of delegates descended on the german pub to celebrate. >> they're ready to unwind and enjoy themselves. >> reporter: brew is just one of a handful of bars that obtained a special license to serve drinks until 4:00 a.m. and by last call it was still jam packed. >> we literally had to push people out of the bar. people like to eat, drink, spend some money, have a good time. >> reporter: at the gallery, hillary clinton paintings were specially commissioned for sale this week. >> they've been doing really, really well. >> reporter: business here has been steady, most customers coming in around lunchtime. >> a lot of people appreciating a one of a kind original dnc piece of art. >> reporter: city officials promised the dnc would be better than the papal visit. much of it depended on location.

most visitors were clustered in center city and south philly. many say money was flying out of their restaurants. >> a lot of restaurants obviously. a lot of transportation. >> reporter: now with just one night to go, bars, restaurants and even street vendors are squeezing out every last dollar. in center city, randy gyllenhaal, nbc 10 news. >> tomorrow hillary clinton and her running mate, senator tim kaine, will hold a rally. they changed the location because of potential storms. former president bill clinton and ann holton will also be there. after the rally clinton heads out on a bus tour across pennsylvania and ohio. stay with us throughout the evening for more dnc coverage. and then join us back here at 7:00 tonight for a one-hour special report. we'll speak to former philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey who details why hillary clinton is the candidate

who can help control gun violence in our country. let's go back to the nbc 10 studios and chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz tracking those strong storms this afternoon. >> some places are really getting dumped on with a lot of rain. other places haven't seen a drop during the day today. we've got a lot of clouds around. over the last few hours we've seen the storms, some of them develop, some of them dissipate. they're not really moving in any organized way. other than the fact that the worst of it continues to be just south of philadelphia itself. but we also have a cluster up in berks county, right along i-78. tremendous rains right near hamburg. and that area is not really moving very much. we've got another area down in south jersey. and unfortunately, that's around vineland, which got flooded earlier. you can see in philadelphia, this is more in the way of

moderate rain as far as the amounts are concerned. but parts of philadelphia, this is really interesting. up in northeast philly, for example, that's no rain. but in extreme south philly, that's in the blue. that's close to two inches of rain. and in other areas, it's over two inches of rain, as we go into delaware. this is well south of wilmington. and some places as you can see here, almost four inches of rain just southeast of bair and north of delaware city. four inches in just a few hours. that can certainly cause significant flooding. here's the futurecast as we go through the rest of the afternoon, and into the evening. more showers and storms. at least scattered around. and even if we do see a bit of a break later tonight, we've got more coming in from the west. so by even tomorrow morning, we could see some showers and storms in parts of the area. we may see some improvement as

we go into the afternoon. maybe even a little bit of sunshine. wouldn't that be nice. and then perhaps more isolated showers tomorrow afternoon. i'm not expecting a whole lot of rain tomorrow. the flood advisory goes from parts of philadelphia all the way down into northern delaware. that's until 8:00. if you run into an area that's flooded, driving into a road and you don't know how deep it is, just don't bother trying to go through it. turn around. and you can see the flood advisory goes through parts of south philly, and northern delaware. this other flood advisory for the heavy area of storms on i-78. another flood advisory in new jersey near new hanover and out toward jackson township. of course, you want to know about the weekend. well, friday may actually be the best day of the next three. because there are other disturbances that are going to be coming in over the weekend, with showers and thunderstorms. it's not going to be rain all

the time, not a total washout. but one thing that's happening here, we're not getting into the 90s. we hit 95 degrees during the day today. look at the shore. we have the threat of showers and storms, sperkly on sunday i think will be the best threat. and then also tomorrow at the shore. saturday may be the best day. you can see the temperatures, nowhere near 90 degrees as we head into early next week. we've got an east wind coming in, a fair amount of clouds. and then later next week, and the following weekend, we may start to get back up near 90. >> all right, glenn. count on nbc 10 on air and online to bring you any forecast and any warnings about these storms. and still ahead, a boardwalk bummer. why the owner of fun town pier said fun will be returning following this raging fire that destroyed the iconic jersey shore landmark. fatal consequences, how all those red light cameras watching drivers at intersections really impact safety on our roads.

pushing the limits. the trick shot that was even a challenge for the world famous harlem globetrotters. we're going to show it to you. first, here's a look at the closing bell on wall street where stocks finished mostly higher today.

taking a look at first alert radar right now. slow-moving showers and storms. some places getting enough rain to cause flooding today. and the system may not be lifting all that soon. chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz will join us shortly with an update. here's a live look inside the wells fargo center in south philadelphia where the last night of the democratic national convention will soon get under way. the gavel will fall in just a few minutes from now, bringing what will be an historic night.

more live coverage coming up at 4:30. to other news now. we have this just in. a water main break in camden has forced officials to issue a boil water advisory, for camden neighborhoods west of the cooper river. residents may be without water or have low pressure. the water boil measure is in effect until the water supply is deemed safe to drink. police in south jersey are looking for a man wanted for exposing himself to two teenage girls. this is the sketch of the man. he exposed himself to two 15-year-old girls yesterday. then chased one of the girls before a passing driver scared him off. it happened near the dog park o the crown royal parkway. in delaware county, 50 children had to evacuate their day care center in clifton heights because of a broken gas main nearby. the children from today's child waited at the hall with other evacuees from the area until pico crews made repairs. a contractor struck the 2-inch

natural gas line. the leak is now fixed and gas service is back on. from our delaware bureau, terminex has offered to pay $87 million to a delaware family seriously sickened by a pesticide at a resort in the virgin islands last year. the company said it would pay $10 million in fines, and restitution for using a banned chemical at the units at the st. john resort. that's where the family was vacationing. in march of 2015. steven esmond, his wife and son fell ill not long after checking into their rooms. they have permanent neurological damage. the iconic park that suffered the one-two punch by superstorm sandy followed by a fire. he won't rebuild until there are

changed restrictions on the height of rides. no one hit last night's powerball jackpot. you know what that means? it's a bigger payout, close to half a billion dollars. that's because three months have gone by without a big win. the next drawing is saturday. so play. our big story this afternoon, severe storms moving across our area and more on the way tonight. chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz is tracking that threat for us. >> yeah, we've had strong gusty winds. we've had some hail. but the main threat with this is going to be flooding. talk about the slow-moving storms. flash flooding overnight tonight. i'm tracking where the storms are headed next in my forecast.

welcome back, everyone. right now at 4:30, we're closing in on the final night of the democratic national convention. the session officially under way now, looking live at the wells fargo center, where today's session gaveled in just a short time ago. we just heard the national anthem. tonight's theme, stronger together. i'm jim rosenfield coming to you live from the wells fargo center in south philadelphia once again for the dnc. the anticipation building here for tonight's final speech when the delegation will hear from the nominee herself. tonight is all about hillary clinton, the first female nominee from a major party will take to the convention stage to accept the nomination. hillary's speech tops our headlines. she made a brief appearance on night two of the dnc. then she appeared on stage last night after president obama's pointed remarks.

clinton will be introduced by her daughter, chelsea. tonight's musical guest, katy perry and other speakers set to address the delegation, and michael nutter, and katy mcginty also scheduled to speak earlier in the evening. just a few moments ago, "nbc nightly news" anchor lester holt stopped by here to talk about the importance of tonight's clinton speech. lester holt, thanks for being here once again. last night, big night for president obama, vice president biden. they really hit it out of the park, teed it up for hillary clinton tonight. >> set the bar pretty high. we know what kind of speaker she is, nobody expects that kind of speech. but people are going to be looking for passion. this has been all about reintroducing her to the american public, and trying to help her connect. she'll get teed up, of course, by chelsea clinton, who told matt lauer she hopes she won't cry during that moment. they'll have a long video and lead up to hillary clinton. but fair to say, speech of her

life. >> a speech we understand she's been working on for weeks and weeks now. we're keeping also an eye on severe weather that's moving into our area. so let's send it back to our studio, and glenn "hurricane" schwartz. gle glenn? >> some parts of the area have already seen two, three, even four inches of rain in a relatively short amount of time. and there's been some flooding already. and there's likely to be more as we go through the evening and overnight. not a whole lot of areas of lightning right now. we do see some just north of dover. but the heaviest of the rain, we've got one area up to the north. now, what's really weird about this is that everything is moving differently. so we have this stuff moving north toward vineland. we have this area moving a little east. down to the south, this is moving toward the south.

so when you have a weak flow of winds high up in the atmosphere, you don't really get a chance for these storms to move out. this part is moving southward toward reading. this part of it, not really moving at all. so we have this flood threat along with the severe thunderstorm threat in berks county. this is the area of the flood advisory, from south philly all the way down to northern delaware. and another area in new jersey, and that area in northern berks county as well. so the flood advisory until 8:00. and there may be more rain that comes in after 8:00. overnight. this is the map of the radar estimated rainfall. when you're getting into the purple colors, that's over two inches of rain. we're seeing more and more of that show up in mostly delaware and extreme south jersey. some parts of the area, bucks county, upper montgomery county,

mercer county, places along the shore haven't gotten anything during the day. that's what happens. some people get too much, other people get nothing. here's another area. this is, again, in the upper berks county region, with one to two inches of rain. westchester had some heavier rain earlier. this is in northern delaware, this area in the purple getting two to three, even more than three inches of rain. we'll talk more about where this rain moves as we head toward the weekend in just a few minutes. >> all right, glenn. watch here at flames shoot from the engine from a plane that had just taken off in dallas. the pilot of the american airlines airbus headed to seattle said it was a problem with the compressor. a passenger said no one panicked and they praised the crew after that jet landed safely. take a look at this chilling footage of a burglar highlighted at the top of the stairs, robbing a house with the owners inside.

the thief known as the creeper ghost is blamed on a rash of break-ins in chicago. the homeowner said he discovered the frightening images only after checking his security footage when a purse disappeared. >> basically came in the room, didn't go in the other bedroom, tried to look in my office. you can see down on us. you can see him look down on us multiple times on the couch. >> scary. several neighbors reported a similar intruder breaking into homes and stealing items. the philadelphia eagle dubbed magic mike is gaining steam for his hobby off the football field. see the reaction when jon dorenbos learned the voting results in "america's got talent."

fios is not cable. we're wired differently. so we wired the wagner's house with 100 meg internet. which means that in the time it takes mr. wagner to pour a 20 oz. cup of coffee, tommy can download 30 songs, and jan can upload 120 photos. 12 seconds. that's the power of fiber optics. and right now you can get 100 meg internet

it kicks off the alumni association's youth of america week. veteran eagles long snapper jon dorenbos' magical run on "america's got talent" will continue. he's moving on. dorenbos advanced to the semifinals last night after wowing the judges and audiences with his incredible magic tricks. dorenbos had been excused from reporting to eagles training camp yesterday so he could compete on the show. but he was magically back on the field in south philadelphia today. for the first full day of practice. if you're not keeping track, we're just two weeks away from the eagles preseason opener against tampa bay. the game can be seen live on csn and kozy tv. nbc 10 is your official eagles station. the harlem globetrotters are in the middle of a four-day stay in wildwood cape may county. where they are playing four

games at the wildwood convention center. but before those games, a globetrotters star made a trick shot that had never been tried before. he swung on a harness from the coaster ride at the pier. and shot a ball into the basket. sinking it on the beach below, as he soared through the air at 60 miles an hour. how did he do that? from ringside seats to travel refunds.

whether we're seeing a lot of increased lightning. which in that case we're not. we're not seeing much lightning with this one, but this really hasn't moved a lot. this was along i-78 in berks county. it's still around there, near hamburg, getting a little closer to reading. macon creek getting pretty heavy rain right now. parts of that storm moving, other parts not moving at all. and now as we go into the rest of delaware, and parts of south jersey, gloucester county, well, you're getting hit hard. and the vineland area, winslow, some of these areas that have been flooded in the last month or so. and this is not the end of it. we've got more coming later on tonight to potentially add to this. the doppler estimated rainfall, we're starting to get some of those ma jen da colors, more than two inches of rain falling in just a fairly short period of time.

now, the atmosphere as a whole is incredibly moist. much more so than a typical summer afternoon. so the potential for greater amounts of rain is really there. this is in delaware, and into south jersey. we already have an estimate of four inches just north of delaware city. so this is not the end of it. so here we go, as we go through the future and during the night tonight, we have more coming in from the west. tomorrow morning we could wake up to some rain, or even thunderstorms. a few more showers tomorrow afternoon. i'm not expecting a lot of rain tomorrow compared to today. although this model does have a storm over atlantic city in the afternoon. then saturday we're going to see an increase again in the showers and storms. especially in the afternoon. as the humidity continues to be high. and we just can't have this

happening day after day after day. the ground just cannot handle it. look at that. that's saturday night and into sunday morning. some more tremendous rains that come through the area, into sunday. and so we certainly can't rule out the possibility of some locally heavy rain, even saturday and sunday. we already have it. we've got a flood advisory from south philly all the way down to northern delaware. northeast philly hasn't really seen any rain today. flood advisories just west of the schuylkill, starts from about south philly down into delaware. we have the flood advisory from berks county, in the hamburg area, and another one in parts of new jersey. look at the temperatures now. in the 70s. close to 20 degrees colder than they were at this time yesterday. we're not going to be seeing temperatures in the 90s as we head into the weekend. however, we're trading the heat

for more showers and thunderstorms, especially on sunday at the shore. saturday, maybe a little bit better for the most part. we could still see thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon at the shore as well. ever get one of the tickets in the mail that shows you running a red light? those cameras may seem like a nuisance to drivers. but a new study shows how they impact safety on our roadways. that story next.
