democratic national convention is under way. good evening, everyone, i'm jim rosenfield. we're going to be bringing you complete coverage throughout the region as well. but we have to begin with the weather threat that's bearing down on the area. have you been out there? did you get wet yet? let's get right to first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz to bring us up to speed. glenn? >> yeah, jim, some places haven't gotten rain at all, while others have had more than four inches of rain and more is on the way. you can see not everybody's getting rain. but most folks are seeing at least some. the yellows and reds indicating the heavier rain. the heaviest lightning right around dover. as you can see, it's not moving very much. that's part of the problem here. you've got heavy rain that isn't moving much. that's a bad combination, you end up with flood threats. middle town getting out of it, and dover right into it as we zoom down just to the north.

chestwold, trenton, just getting blasted with some heavy rain. this is drifting, it is not moving, it's drifting toward dover. it's been within 20, 30 miles for the last hour. here we are further to the north, i-78 in berks county, and just to the northeast of reading, some heavy rain. now look at allentown. allentown is getting into it now. the lehigh valley which didn't really have much rain earlier now has it. we've got flood advisories for berks county, from south philly all the way into northern delaware. and also severe thunderstorm warning for that storm near dover. that goes until 5:30 p.m. could get strong wind gusts with that, and some hail. the flood advisory goes until 6:30. there will be some areas that sea ponding on the roads at the very least. again, you don't want to drive

through flooded roads. the doppler estimates showing where it's rained and what areas are getting heaviest rain. nothing in berks county and mercer county. but these blues indicating over an inch. the purples indicating over two inches of rain. a lot of that falling in delaware. but we're also seeing some pretty heavy rain in berks county as we saw just east of pine grove, south of summit station. up to three inches of rain. and that's just in a couple of hours. more rain coming overnight, and into the weekend. i'll have the timing on that in a few minutes. >> back here live at the wells fargo center for the final day and night of the democratic national convention. here are the headlines we're following right now. anticipation building for hillary clinton to take the stage tonight. the first female candidate from a major party to win the nomination, will address the delegation gathered here tonight and the nation as well. she'll be introduced by her daughter, chelsea. former philadelphia mayor michael nutter is also scheduled to speak tonight.

katy perry is tonight's musical guest as the convention comes to a close. the area is buzzing, not just here in south philadelphia, people will soon be gathering throughout the area to watch things unfold here in the wells fargo center. and we kick off our coverage tonight with nbc 10's drew smith. >> reporter: on the final day of the democratic national convention, there is still plenty to see around philadelphia. as some last-minute political art has gone up in old city. and in north philly, it appears even graffiti vandals are getting in the spirit. >> this has been such an incredible event. >> reporter: around the city, convention viewing habits vary. >> i've been, like, off and on. >> kind of a political and civics nerd. >> reporter: for the political junkies who can't get in the wells fargo center, there are dozens of watch parties. many bars will turn down the music and turn up the tvs tonight. >> a big buzz all week, actually. we have a license to stay open until 4:00. >> reporter: there are a few spots around the city where

people will be able to watch outside right here at commerce square. if the rain holds off. expect a lot of people down here to watch clinton's speech. >> the rainstorm, that will add a little more excitement. as i did on monday, i just took off my shoes and slushed through the water. >> reporter: one bernie sanders delegate may be forming his not so happy watch party. he says his dnc credentials were revoked. >> they said they wouldn't give them to me unless i agreed to calm down, sit quietly and not show any dissent. >> reporter: after four days, it's still a city charged with all kinds of political energy. in philadelphia, drew smith, nbc 10 news. >> we've watched history unfold here at the wells fargo center this week, that's for sure. but the most pivotal moment comes in a few hours when hillary clinton accepts her party's nomination for president. we continue our coverage with nbc 10's lauren mayk once again on the floor of this convention. lauren, we've got a front row seat to some more history

tonight. >> reporter: jim, the first woman to be nominated for president by a major party, no matter what happens in november, that is what makes tonight so very significant. and so different from any convention previously, in the republican or democrat. it's something the delegates are thinking about tonight. >> i think last night was a big night because of the speech by obama. would i think has been the best president. i am so happy to have supported him. but this is what i -- i'm a woman of 64 years old. this to me is everything. that i'm going to see a woman president before i pass away. this is everything to me. so emotional. >> reporter: we are expecting a lot of emotions here tonight. but jim, let me show you what we have noticed when we got into the hall today. there are some changes. let me show you this. turn around a little bit. see in front of the delegates, there is sort of a blue tarp, a

blue wall. they've placed seats inside there. and then on the delegate seats when they arrive, they found these packets. you can see them on the chairs here. they have instructions telling them not to open them until they're told to. that they are part of a card set. i can tell you a few moments ago they played a video on that screen instructing delegates on what to look for when all of this is going to take place. so jim, we will be watching. >> so it has some sort of message as we understand it, or some sort of pattern to it. we'll see how that plays out later tonight. lauren mayk, thanks so much. bernie sanders spent the day taking his message to the suburbs. he's pushing for unity after his defeat created dissension among the democrats. you saw it this week. deanna durante was there as sanders urged supporters once again to back the woman who was once his rival. >> reporter: his message was not as much pro-hillary as it was against donald trump.

>> my fear about donald trump is that he is a demagogue who does not believe in the constitution of the united states, who is making the cornerstone of his campaign, not economics, not health, but bigotry and hatred. >> if trump becomes president, it's not because we didn't try to stop him. >> reporter: supporters say despite sanders' plea today, they'll be skipping the convention tonight. >> i'll do my best to not get trump elected. that's my priority. i have until november 2nd to decide who i'm going to vote for. >> what we have seen of corporate america getting rich ceos making tens of millions of dollars a year throwing workers in this country out on the street. >> reporter: in speaking to his base, sanders did not touch on his future in politics, or the change he's making back to an independent. but credited his supporter of making the democratic party stronger. and in that his supporters are

finding unity. they don't want to hear hillary clinton's acceptance speech but say they will do what they were asked and put their votes behind hillary clinton. in valley forge, deanna durante, nbc 10 news. >> democratic vice presidential candidate tim kaip kaine is mocking donald trump today. kaine said trump was ignorant of basic civics. trump referred to kaine as a terrible governor of new jersey. kaine was governor of virginia, not new jersey. kaine said he's not a trash talker, but he plans to have some fun with trump. >> we have 50 states, and -- [ inaudible ]. >> trump likely confused kaine with foreigner republican new jersey governor tom cane, he led the state from 1982 to '90. as for trump himself right now, he's holding a rally in

davenport, iowa. there you see the microphone awaiting his remarks there. we'll bring you more on that as we see him at the podium. in the meantime, we have much more from the democratic national convention. local businesses preparing for one final night of partying. a look at how they're getting set and what they hope to see when the sun goes down, ahead at 5:15. for now we toss it back to the studio. >> nbc 10 has been giving you extensive coverage of the dnc all week long on live broadcasts from the wells fargo center, continuing this afternoon and evening. plus, we will also bring you a one-hour special at 7:00 p.m. and be sure to download the free nbc 10 app for instant updates and behind the scenes footage of the democratic national convention. in addition to the action at the dnc, tonight we are keeping our eye on the weather. storms are already rolling across the region. right, glenn? >> yeah, those storms could cause some big problems in parts of the area. you can see the big one right over dover right now.

i'll let you know where they're going to be going during the night tonight, and if they're going to be around for the weekend, too, with your nbc 10 neighborhood forecast coming up. . plus, papal scare. the frightening moment that played out as the pope celebrated mass today in poland, also ahead. you were absolutely fantastic last night. i guess the philadelphia eagles have to wait a little longer for you then, right? >> magical bird dazzles in primetime again.

center city, tommy and his dad pick up some knickknacks and souvenirs. >> i really like being here. it's a lot of fun. >> reporter: they're here in town for the dnc spending most of their money on three main things. >> a lot of restaurants obviously. a lot of transportation. the hotels. >> reporter: across town, the german pub brew applied for a special liquor license to serve drinks until 4:00 a.m. >> last night was amazing. it was some record crowds. >> reporter: and it worked after president obama's speech last night, huge crowds of politicos and vips stayed and celebrated until nearly day break. >> they're ready to unwind and enjoy themselves. these are the type of people that like to eat, drink, spend some money, have a good time. >> reporter: local artists getting in on the action, too, at a gallery. hillary clinton paintings are flying off the shelves. >> a lot of people appreciating getting a one of a kind original dnc piece of art.

>> reporter: the city promised businesses would get a boost this week. much of it depends on location. most delegates are staying in center city. and south philly. and tonight will be their last night spending money in town. in center city, randy gyllenhaal, nbc 10 news. >> and the clock ticking down to another historic night here at the wells fargo center. we continue in the next half hour, as we welcome our political punchout team to tackle tonight's headlines. but for now let's send it back to glenn on the storms that are rolling across our region. glenn? >> yeah, jim, parts of the area continue to get pounded with some heavy rain and thunderstorms. right now, the worst of the storms are in the southern portions of our area. central delaware, out toward extreme south jersey. there's still rain up in pennsylvania and central new jersey, but not nearly as much as what we are seeing elsewhere. we do have this one area in pennsylvania that not only is

heavy, but it hasn't been moving. so we continue to have problems. rain along i-78, we have not seen much movement. we've seen hamburg in that heavy rain area for quite a while now. and so, again, anytime you get rain like that, that doesn't move, you have the threat of flooding. you can also see where the cluster of lightning bolts touched down near dover. and they're getting the heaviest rain of the day there. and that is in dover, and pleasanton acres, getting heavy rain. although it is drifting a little bit to the south. camden now getting into it, where they weren't just a little while ago. now, the other area that's getting smashed is toward the jersey shore. this is at least on the road to the shore. the atlantic city expressway right here. so the blackhorse pike getting some of the heaviest rain down near mays landing. and galloway, egg harbor, as you

can see. now, that's not too far away, right from the beaches. so some of that heavy rain will be headed that way. we have radar estimates of rainfall that continues to go up in parts of the area. and in other parts of the area they haven't seen a drop of rain. there's bucks county. totally dry just about. mercer county, totally dry. long beach island, much of the jersey shore, totally dry. but these areas in magenta here, over two inches of rain. some places getting as much as four inches of rain estimated by radar here. we're in delaware. this is south of newark and pensville. and this area has had two, three, up to four inches of rain that's fallen in just a couple of hours. now, as we go by the evening, we're going to continue to see some of these storms. moving gradually west to east.

tremendous amounts of moisture in the atmosphere here. way more than a typical summer afternoon. even a summer afternoon that has thunderstorms. an exceptional amount of moisture up there. of course, you can't see it, but we can measure it with satellite. it is near record levels. and when you have that kind of combination, you've got potential trouble, because you have a lot of moisture for the flood threat. here comes some more rain later on tonight. and so we could be seeing heavy rain during the night tonight, and even into first thing tomorrow morning. the morning rush, we could have showers and thunderstorms. and everything's so saturated now, that you have the possibility of even some flooding during the morning rush. so you've got to take it easy. tomorrow afternoon is not going to be as active as this afternoon has been. i think we'll get a bit of a lull there. but we do have more that's going to be coming in on saturday. here's the flood advisory, goes from south philly down to northern delaware.

but just west of the schuylkill expressway pretty much. but this area, flood advisory continues to expand that goes into berks county, i-78 again up toward the lehigh valley, that area really isn't moving much. and we've got this flood advisory that isn't moving very much either that's getting down toward new hanover, and pemberton. so, look at the forecast here. thunderstorms, thunderstorms, thunderstorms. temperatures are in the 70s. the heat wave is pretty much over. we've been getting into the mid-90s today. lehigh valley still a threat tomorrow morning. jersey, jersey shore. and of course, for the weekend we're going to be seeing more showers and storms. saturday and into sunday, the shore, i think the greatest chance of storms is on sunday. >> thanks for that, glenn. papal misstep.

the visit took a frightening turn. the video straight ahead.

welcome back. coming to you live from south philadelphia. this sa live look inside the wells fargo center. fired-up speakers at the podium

tonight. hillary clinton takes the stage later to close out the democratic national convention here in philadelphia. the crowd headed here could be greeted by some severe weather. we're tracking storms rolling across the region. you see them right here on first alert radar. our coverage continues from the wells fargo center in a minute. we want to turn back to the weather threat across the area. we're tracking those storms right now. let's get right to glenn "hurricane" schwartz to bring us up to speed. glenn? >> jim, right now we're not seeing an immediate threat in philadelphia itself. but the worst of the action is in central delaware and in south jersey. and some of these areas have already been hit hard, and are going to continue to get hit hard. these storms, at least they're moving a little bit as we take a look over the last three hours. so at least it is moving more than the other ones. so as we take a look at this, moving toward the southeast, the heaviest of it is right over

dover right now. and in the next hour or two, it's moving relatively slowly, until 6:20 to get to north cape may, and 6:30 to cape may itself if it continues on that trajectory. we haven't seen much in the way of storms continuing to move in the same direction. but you can see the heavier rain over dover now. it's starting to taper off at chestwold. it has tapered off considerably in brentford right now. at least it is moving. now, we can't say the same about the rain in berks county. this is hamburg. look at it. it's in it, and that's three hours' worth of moderate to heavy rain. allentown, not seeing much of a change there either. in some parts of this area it's just not moving. that's why we have flood advisories there, from philly down into central delaware. and now all the way toward the

jersey shore, long beach island in the flood advisory. we still have the severe thunderstorm warning for the dover cell for a little while longer. and you can see on the radar estimates, that it's really concentrated south of philadelphia. in dover, especially south of wilmington, and in south jersey, basically south of the atlantic city expressway, those areas have really gotten pounded as we head through the day. the only exception in southeastern pennsylvania is what we've been showing it in berks county. and up toward lehigh valley. up to three inches of rain in just an hour or two. and some of that heavier rain spreading all the way into the allentown area. there's that heavy rain in delaware and south jersey. more on where all of this has gone coming up in a few minutes. >> glenn, we'll check back with you. back to the wells fargo center where the dnc is getting under way. hillary clinton accepts her

parties's nomination. there is excitement across the river as well. cydney long is live in camden this evening. that city is getting some time in the convention spotlight, too. >> reporter: hey, jim, you bet, with stars like lady gaga, and lenny kravitz rocking the bb & c pavilion for delegates and dignitaries. even in the rain camden got another moment to shine. we didn't see the president, first lady or secret service, but we did manage to get you up close to the excitement. >> you are going to stand up, to speak out, to act out, and to live life out loud! >> reporter: new jersey senator cory booker did the honors. >> ladies and gentlemen, i introduce to you lady gaga! >> reporter: bringing a crowd of 15,000 delegates and dignitaries from across the country to camden's waterfront. and bringing them to their feet. performances by gaga, dj jazzy

the top. >> this is one of the times in my life i wish i was a woman. because women first, yeah. hillary will make history tonight. >> reporter: lenny kravitz told the diverse crowd this afternoon that his involvement in the convention is about love and respect, and his support of political leaders working to do the right thing. he said moving our country forward going into the future, it has to be about love. live in camden, cydney long, nbc 10 news. >> that's what we've been hearing here on the floor of the convention center. thank you. we have much more from the dnc dpz. our political punchout team going to be joining us tonight. you'll see them go head-to-head on the big issues, 5:45. for now we toss it back to rosemary connors in the studio. >> thanks, jim. nbc 10 has you covered. our live broadcast from the wells fargo center continues this evening. tonight at 7:00 we'll have our one-hour special. also be sure to download the free nbc 10 app for the updates

well, as we take a look at the radar, more heavy showers

and thunderstorms, especially in delaware and south jersey. i'll have the forecast on where they're going to go tonight, and if they're going to be around for the weekend in a few minutes. time for our political punchout segment. our analysts are back to duke it out during the dnc. good evening, again, everybody, i'm jim rosenfield. coming to you live from south philadelphia. a live look inside the wells fargo center where we watch a parade of speakers at the podium there, ahead of tonight's biggest speaker of all, hillary clinton. and we are joined once again by democrat mark alderman and republican jim schultz. thank you for being here once again. let's talk about last night, the all-star night on stage created a big buzz. will that carry over, do you think, to tonight? or is it history now? >> no, jim, it is in the hall tonight. the president gave a book-end speech to the first lady's on monday night. a soaring speech of achievement and optimism.

it was reagan-esque. it was morning in america compared to a midnight in a mad max move any cleveland. and that is here. that is not going away. that is the foundation that secretary clinton is going to stand on when she accepts this nomination. >> it was wonderful theater last night, great speeches. but at the end of the day, we still have the same unlikable, untrustworthy candidate in hillary clinton. and she's already sold herself out, and selling the white house out to wall street, by accepting millions and mlgs of dollars of campaign contributions. the american people aren't going to trust her. last night was more fiction as it pertains to her record. i don't think it will make a hill of beans going forward. >> mark, do you think she can do that, and what's on her plate tonight, in terms of what jim is referring to, which is those who do not like her. >> well, jim is, of course,

distorting her record of achievement. but that's for another time. what she needs to do is two things. she needs to present a choice between herself and donald trump. but also, a choice between two americas. america of inclusion, america of justice, and america of optimism. and i believe that that is what she will do out there tonight. yes, she has some work to do. she's been a fighter and a hard worker her whole career. she's going to do just fine tonight. >> do you feel that the stark sort of when the democrats talk about the tone of the rnc being sort of pessimistic, dark, the president talking about hope, keeping it alive, and continuing his message that he brought to his convention back in '08? >> it's funny that mark mentions justice, and perhaps even the rule of law. she doesn't understand either. doesn't believe any of the rules apply to her.

so tonight i expect more fiction from her going forward, distorting of her own record if there is one to be had. so, you know, in terms of what the tone is in the building, i don't think it's really going to matter, because people aren't trusting hillary clinton. >> so, guys, she definitely has a lot on the line tonight. >> she has work to do. but i will tell you, the president said last night, she's the most qualified candidate ever to run, including him and bill. i think that thomas jefferson is tied for first. but that's good company for hillary. >> how times changed with that speech in 2008. >> last night, donald trump took a lot of hits from some heavy hitters here, including the president, including the vice president, and including tim kaine. they all really took him to task. and mike bloomberg as well who called him a con. i'm a new yorker, i know a con when i see one, is that damaging? will that resonate? >> it's all political rhetoric. it's nothing more than that.

we're going to hear a lot of that back-and-forth throughout the campaign cycle. what michael bloomberg says onstage doesn't mean much of a difference in the polls going forward. they'll both take their cases to the american people and the best person will win the election. >> guys, thanks for being here, as always. lots to talk about. but for now let's head back to the studio. glenn schwartz tracking the storms. >> some places haven't even seen a drop of rain yet. the radar over the past few hours, still showing some rain in pennsylvania. but not nearly as much as delaware and south jersey. the one exception in pennsylvania, up in parts of berks county and lehigh valley. we continue to see that. remember, i-78 has been the target here. we've been looking at this map for hours now. and the rain continues. hamburg continues to see that rainfall. if you get rain like that, over

and over and over again, hour after hour, it's got to produce some flooding. now, this is an area that has not been hit that much so far today, from vineland out toward the shore. but more of that is coming. the dover storm has already moved to the southeast. so we've finally seen some movement in this particular storm. dover seeing a little bit of improvement as this storm goes over delaware bay. and here we are for the rest of the shore. right along the atlantic city expressway. galloway township. now we have the rain all the way to atlantic city. and it's about to get heavier as the rain is in egg harbor township now. now, the heaviest rains in the brighter colors. the areas of the map color have no rain. much of berks county, nothing. parts of uber montgomery county, not much. but you can see, one little peek up here along i-78, two-plus

inches of rain, and several other areas of delaware and south jersey with two to three inches of rain. and more coming. here we go, overnight tonight, and into the morning, still some areas of heavy thunderstorms. there's another one in that same area, i-78. if they get another storm like that in the middle of the night, there's going to be some pretty significant flooding. now, we're going to see things quiet down during the day tomorrow. once we get past the morning rush, i think. some sunshine comes out. don't think we're going to get into the 90s again. but that's not it for the weekend. here comes saturday. more storms. and some of it on the heavy side. there's i-78 again. enough already. here comes more. this saturday night, some of it on the heavy side. and then we've got more coming in for sunday. look at that. sunday afternoon. with some heavy rain out there.

so, yeah, it's not going to rain continuously, it's not a washout, but there's going to be some rain, thunderstorms, some of it heavy, saturday and sunday. the flood advisory in the philadelphia area, or at least from south philly westward until 6:30. farther to the south, delaware and extreme south jersey, that goes until 9:00 tonight. you don't want to drive through flooded areas. most of philadelphia is not in the flood advisory. but parts of south philly are. this area is one of the areas i'm concerned about. i-78, hamburg, which has been just continuously pounded by rain. and another area in new jersey, that goes until 8:00. let's go through the weekend. we're going to find, again, most of the day tomorrow, once we get past the morning rush, i think it's going to be decent, and not as hot. and then saturday, we start to see some storms, especially in the afternoon. and then another round on sunday. but at least the temperatures are down.

finally, the full version of the 2016 eagles are on the field. today around 3:00, the veterans joined rookies and selected vets who have been practicing since training camp officially began on monday. the birds opened the preseason on csn and kozy tv august 11th. among those in camp is jon dorenbos. normally his appearance wouldn't necessarily make news, but given the headlines he's making with his performances on "america's got talent," dorenbos is stealing the show even at camp. the update on the eagles magic man. >> the next act going into the semifinals is -- jon dorenbos! >> jon dorenbos is through to the semifinals of "america's got talent." >> thank you. thank you, america! thank you, the philadelphia eagles, for allowing me to do this! this is the greatest show on tv. thank you. >> reporter: one of the first

things doug peterson did for his veterans in training camp was conduct a meeting. and in that meeting the head coach showed the team dorenbos' winning act from tuesday as tweeted by connor mar win. the coach believed in dorenbos' life after football. >> i think he's definitely got a career in las vegas, or atlantic city, or wherever. >> you were absolutely fantastic last night. i guess the philadelphia eagles have to wait a little longer for you then, right? >> reporter: that is a question. now that he's through to the semis. how will things work at training camp? >> we'll go day by day and see where it ends up in the next couple of days. >> reporter: katy zachary, nbc 10 news. staying with football, a group of young athletes from our area got some training tips from some high-profile coaches today. former eagles and others playing in the nfl coached the kids, the youth football clinic.

kicking off the youth of america week. red light camera conclusion. you may find them annoying, a lot of people do. but some new research reveals that there's more to be said about those red light cameras. and it could change your mind about how you feel about them. we'll have more on that story straight ahead. i approve this message.

donald trump: i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? and you can tell them to go f--- themselves! you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever... you gotta see this guy. ahh, i don't know what i said, ahh. "i don't remember." he's going like "i don't remember!"

parts of the area continue to see this flood threat. a lot of the thunderstorms have died down, but there's still plenty of rain, especially delaware and south jersey, and up on i-78 in pennsylvania. we'll see what's going to happen for the rest of the night and into the weekend in a few minutes. thanks for that, glenn. we're talking about red light cameras now. far from popular, i know. but the results of a new study could change that. communities across the country have turned off red light cameras in recent years, after complaints. but a new study reveals getting rid of the cameras can have fatal consequences. nbc 10's tim furlong hit the streets to find oit why. >> reporter: you probably know the ones near you. the intersections with the cameras watching. >> it makes you more aware of running a yellow light. >> i think they're money makers. >> it's a nice way to get a good chunk of change from the citizens. >> reporter: some people say

cities and towns just use the cameras to generate revenue. across the country many have shut their cameras down. a new study from the insurance institute for highway safety said that might be a deadly idea. the study said in the sample cities, fatal accidents went up by 30% in intersections where cameras were removed. cameras in historically dangerous intersections do cut down on serious accidents. in some of those spots rear-end collisions happen more often as drivers jam on their brakes at a yellow light just to avoid a ticket. >> the accidents are less dangerous for motorists compared to the t-bone crashes which is basically a right-angle crash. >> reporter: tim furlong, nbc 10 news. local restaurants are feeling the heat and making changes. a team of reporters is inside of wells fargo center giving you all access to the final night of the dnc. good night to be indoors.

a night to remember. hillary clinton makes her case to the american people. and who knows her better than her daughter. >> this election is so important to me, because i'm now a mom. >> president obama made his case. >> i ask you to carry her the same way you carried me. >> tonight we ask local women about the possibility of the first female president. >> we are breaking another glass ceiling. >> a star-studded final night at the dnc. and nbc 10's team of journalists will give you all access all night long as hillary clinton makes history. good evening, i'm jim rosenfield here on the final night of the democratic national convention. >> i'm jacqueline london, first up tonight at 6:00, brace yourself for a stormy evening. we are tracking severe storms on the radar.

rain, lightning and hail. this was the same in south jersey. nbc 10 drivers had to maneuver around water. glenn "hurricane" schwartz is tracking the severe weather in your neighborhood. >> most of the threat now is because of the rain itself and the flood threat. as you can see, most of the heaviest rain is in delaware and south jersey. we have a bit up in lehigh valley and berks county. the problem with that stuff is it's not moving. down in dover, we've seen some in atlantic city we've seen some as well. the dover storm moved across delaware bay and cape may, right in there. so just a few minutes to cape may. and wildwood getting some of that lightning. and some of the heavy rain coming into the atlantic city area. we're seeing some right along the atlantic city expressway, as you head to the shore,
