hillary makes history in philadelphia. the next stop for the democratic presidential nominee is north philadelphia today. dnc departures. after the big party last night, everyone is heading home. what airport officials want you to know before you fly out of the city today. and the new zika infection in the united states that has health officials especially concerned. we have to decide whether we will all work together, so we can all rise together. >> hillary makes history in the birthplace of america.

she formally accepts the democratic nomination for president and must now convince voters they can bring a divided nation together. and she and her running mate, virginia senator tim kaine, are not going very far today. the pair will rally with voters at temple university in north philadelphia, just about an hour from now. here's a live look now inside mcgonigal hall, where a large crowd has already gathered. good morning. i'm katy zachary. it's just one minute after 11:00 on your friday morning. no break after a big night at the wells fargo center. that's where hillary clinton made history. she and tim kaine will stay and campaign in pennsylvania today. the pair will rally with voters at temple university, in just about an hour from now. that's scheduled for noon. last night she tried to portray herself as a successful mom and working woman. her speech focused on the american resolve, tolerance, progress, and equal pay. >> will not build a wall. instead, we will build an

economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one. if you believe that your working mother, wife, sister, or daughter deserves equal pay, join us! after the speech, balloons and confetti rained down on the crowd inside the wells fargo center. delegates and their guests heard from mrs. clinton inside the wells fargo center in south philadelphia last night. now the general public gets a chance to see her and her running mate, tim kaine, as they hold a rally in north philadelphia. nbc 10's andrea cline-thomas is inside that hall where people have already packed the seats, right, aundrea? >> reporter: exactly. people continue to file in. when we arrived, the line spanned about two blocks past the center. there's a very diverse crowd in here. not just ethnically, but crowds are bringing their kids to

witness this event. you may remember, it was supposed to take place outside with the historic backdrop of independence hall. it had to be moved to temple because of the threat of bad weather. now, hillary clinton and tim kaine are hoping to capitalize on the buzz they created during the democratic convention. today, their bus tour will go through the state, and then they're off to ohio. this event is supposed to begin at noon. we're going to stay here and bring you all of the highlights. for now, reporting live at temple university, aundrea cline-thomas, nbc 10 news. >> let's check in now with first alert traffic reporter, jessica boyington, to see how the rally is affecting roads in that area. jessica, what are you seeing there and throughout our coverage area? >> especially, katy, because a lot of these changes, moving to temple university, because of weather, it's a little bit of a surprise. there might be some pop-up closures as well there aren't even listed. for right now, we're paying attention, of course, to tmpl university. broad street between cecil b. moore and west diamond streets, that general area beginning at

noon, especially, although people are starting to make their way there. that's when we'll really start to see some of the problems. there's also areas of banned parking. the 1,800 and 1,91900 block of north 15th street. 1800 block of north broad street, and the 1400 block of west montgomery avenue have banned parking. you don't want to park in those spots and get your car towed. back to 95. now, earlier this morning, we had a really vicious drive on 95. we were dealing with flooding, several different accidents from the rain. now we're pretty much back to normal, but we're slow, because we do have some rolling work crews up ahead southbound and now this drive time is inching its way up there at 19 minutes now. adding on about seven minutes or so to your drive. also paying attention to the philadelphia international airport right now, we're at 30-minute delays for departing flights out of philadelphia. if you're heading to chicago, we're up to 80-minute delays due to weather. katy? >> thanks for that update. clinton has struggled in this election and in elections past with showing a personal

side. she's often depicted as cold and untrustworthy. her daughter addressed those criticisms head-on last night. >> my earliest memory is my mom picking me up after i had fallen down, giving me a big hug, and reading me "good night moon." from that moment to this one, every single memory i have of my mom is that regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always, always there for me. >> chelsea said her mother was not only concerned for her well-being, but the opportunities for all children. while her daughter was on stage introducing her, clinton watched the speech from a back room at the wells fargo center. she tweeted this picture with the caption "so proud." president bill clinton also tweeted that watching chelsea speak was one of the greatest moments of his life. after senator clinton's speech,

the president gave his approval on twitter. he said, she's tested, she's ready, she never quits. that's why hillary should be our next president. then he joked the job comes along with the potus twitter handle. clinton also used her speech to bash opponent donald trump. she >> imagine him in the oval office facing a real crisis. a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. >> after clinton's speech, donald trump immediately took to twitter. he tweeted, no one has worse judgment than hillary clinton. corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes. protesters remained outside the wells fargo center after the convention wrapped up late last night. the demonstrations were peaceful overall. bernie sanders supporters say they are still angry about the

dnc wikileaks scandal that seemed to prove the convention committee worked to hurt the sanders campaign while helping clinton. at least three arrests were made last night while our cameras were outside the wells fargo center. we are expecting an update from philadelphia police today on the total number of arrests for the week. happening now as we take a live look outside, it has already been a busy day at the philadelphia international airport. thousands of conventiongoers are leaving town and have been waiting in long lines. that all started since early this morning. for more on the dnc departures and any delays you'll find, nbc 10's pamela osborne join us live from inside the airport. how are things moving now, pam? >> reporter: well, katy, everything's running pretty smoothly right now. there are a handful of delays because of the weather, but take a look, you can see the line is moving through very quickly at this point in time. we want to show you some video,

because today is a huge travel delay for delegates and dnc attendees who are heading back home. you've got them plus you've got your regular passengers flying out on a friday. we heard the longest lines were this morning around 4:30. we haven't seen any long wait times since we've been here. one of the ways tsa agents have been speeding things up is by using k-9s. the dogs they're using are specially trained to sniff out explosives. they've been doing their own pre-check of passengers and their belongings during peak times. that's giving passengers the ability to hop in expedited lanes, so things moving a little bit quicker. we caught up with one passenger who was here for the dnc, she wasn't a delegate, but she was here with planned parenthood, trying to spread the word. she said her flight was delayed for about 40 minutes, but still, this trip was absolutely worth it. >> an amazing crowd, especially for an organization like ours. we signed up over 2,000 new members. we signed up almost 100 people who are willing to be volunteers. north, south, east, and west,

all over the country. >> so you can see right now, as quickly as people are walking up to the tsa line, it's just as quick as they're getting through those security checkpoints this morning. tsa is advising people to allow yourself plenty of extra time, about two hours, they say, before your flight, you should be here. you should expect it to take a little bit of extra time to get checked in. and of course, get through those lines, and before you get to the airport, make sure you check your flight to see if it's on time. reporting live this morning at philly international, i'm pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. katy? >> pamela, thanks for that. our coverage of the dnc and hillary clinton's nomination continues throughout the day. be sure to check the nbc 10 app for pictures and video highlights from this week that put philadelphia in the national spotlight. turning to weather now, the clouds are thinning out at heavy rain moved through much of our area this morning. here's a live look right now

down the shore at cape may. nbc 10 first alert meteorologist bill henley is here with a look at the forecast for today and the weekend. it's a little cooler outside. >> yeah, not bad. it's shaped up nicely since that heavier rain moved through. we're seeing fewer and fewer clouds, more sunshine, and the temperatures are climbing. already 80 degrees in philadelphia. still looking at 70s for the lehigh valley and the suburbs. 79 degrees in delaware and south jersey is at 80 degrees. we will warm into the middle 80s this afternoon, but that's as warm as it gets today. we'll not see the 90s for a change. the heat wave has finally broken. 77 in andorra. parkside is 79. northeast philadelphia airport, bustleman, 81 degrees and already 80 in society hill. sunshine will be nice and bright, just a few clouds around, those showers are now offshore. that's where you'll find some thunderstorms quickly drying out at the shore and warming up, too. a pretty nice day, overall. 85 degrees in summerton. doylestown in the suburbs, 86. and for the lehigh valley, sunshine and 85 in allentown. new jersey, the showers are out

of the picture. up to the middle 80s for hamilton township. atlantic city warms to 83 degrees this afternoon. you won't hit the 90s today. you won't see a repeat of the showers for wilmington. 84 later today. that's today. seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen shows there's wet weather returning for the weekend. the futurecast to show you when to expect showers and thunderstorms when i come back later this half hour. katy? >> all right, bill, we'll see you then. we are following breaking news about the zika virus in the u.s. the discovery that raises new concerns about how the virus can be transmitted. that's coming up. plus, the sound of silence. a somber pope francis visit at the site of so much atrocity and horror during world war ii. we'll have the words the pontiff put on paper to address his feelings today.

whenthe state made aers, commitment to us. i knew that i wasn't going to make a fortune. but i would have a secure pension plan when i retired. each and every one of us made that contribution from every paycheck we ever earned. they've been negligent in their responsibility over the years of not funding this pension the way it should have been funded. they have made a promise,

they've made a commitment, and they need to stick to it.

we are following breaking news from florida, where that state's governor says they have likely seen the first case of zika transmitted by mosquitos on the u.s. mainland. governor rick scott said one woman and three men in the miami ft. lauderdale area likely contracted the virus through mosquito bites. more than 1,600 zika infections have been reported in the u.s., but the four patients in florida would be the first not linked to travel outside the mainland. meanwhile, the red cross is not accepting blood donations

from two florida counties because of concerns over the zika virus. the fda now wants the blood supply tested to make sure it's not contaminated. aggressive mosquito control efforts are now underway throughout southern florida. well, changing gears now. a 10-year-old girl from our area is one of two innocent bystanders who's in the hospital this morning after they were shot. family members of that young girl ran to north rosewood street in north philadelphia, but were told by police to just immediately go to the hospital. authorities say the 10-year-old girl was walking with her grandmother when she was shot in the arm. she does need surgery, but is expected to be okay. the two gunmen, they ran away. neighbors say this was not the first shooting this week, but the third. >> three times in one week, that's a bit out of the norm. once a week, every other week is okay. but three times? something hot's going down. >> and in the city's germantown

section, police say a young father was driving with his 4-year-old daughter when he was caught in the cross fire of two gunmen. the dad is listed in critical condition. his daughter was taken to the hospital just to be checked out. there have been no arrested in that shooting either. a san diego police officer was killed and a second officer injured after a traffic stop. sources tell nbc news that it appeared the shooting is gang related and there is no indication at this stage of the investigation that the officers were specifically targeted, as they were in recent incidents in dallas and baton rouge. still, the source of stress of the investigation is in its very preliminary stages. pope francis, this morning, visited the site of one of the worst atrocities in history. the pontiff today toured auschwitz, the former nazi german death camp. it's the place where adolf hitler forces killed more than 1 million people, most of them jews. he is the third straight pope to visit the site.

francis prayed in the dark underground prison cell of a catholic saint, who sacrificed his own life during the war to save another man. he visited in silence, but left a message in the memorial guest book. lord have pity on your people. lord forgive so much cruelty. pope francis also met with several auschwitz survivors. one by one, the pope stopped, shook their hands, and bent over to kiss the elderly survivors on both cheeks. he also placed a large white candle at the death wall, where prisoners were executed. 11:17. we've seen a real turnaround in the weather this morning. we started off with some heavy downpours the from philadelphia to the south, but now, the rain is out of the picture. we still have clouds blowing through the area. we're getting enough sunshine to see the temperatures warm up nicely. so if you're heading out right now, we are drying out, and you won't need your umbrella today. sunglasses, you'll definitely

need that today, but you won't have to deal with the high heat we've seen lately, either. the 90s finally take a break and it's going to be an extended break from the high heat. but the mugginess remains. a muggy evening awaits as the temperatures will be climbing into the middle 80s, but it's going to feel a bit hotter than that. 80 right now in philadelphia and wilmington. upper 70s in coatesville. 79 now in allentown. drying out in trenton, mt. holly, and vineland, 80 degrees. these temperatures, warm, but cooler than yesterday, in fact, 10 degrees cooler than the same time yesterday. trenton, down by 9 for mt. holly. vineland, philadelphia, down by 6 in allentown and wilmington. 8 degrees cooler, 10 degrees cooler in dover. it feels a lot more comfortable, even though the humidity is still going to be high and make it feel like it's up to 90 degrees. the heat index, the feels-like temperature will be at 90 degrees, as we go into the afternoon, and even into the evening hours, early evening hours, then it finally starts to

cool down. we're dropping down into the 70s overnight tonight. and it will be dry for the day today. showers and thunderstorms out of the picture, 8:30 this evening. just a few scattered clouds around. as we go into tomorrow, though, after a dry morning, clouds will be building. that's noontime or just after noon on saturday. watch the showers and potential for some thunderstorms popping up during the day on saturday. and if that doesn't look like it's going to be the end of the rainfall over the weekend. so enjoy the break while it's here. a nice break from any wet weather today. clouds and some sunshine, 86 degrees this afternoon. clouds are back tomorrow, with a good chance we'll see showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and into the evening and on sunday, more clouds and a good chance you'll see rain in the morning and into the afternoon hours. the chance of thunderstorms, that'll help keep things cooler, 84 degrees high temperature on sunday. then, just in time for the workweek, it's sunshine returning to the area. 82 degrees after a morning low

of 71 degrees, and it stays cooler on tuesday. there is a chance of some late-day showers on tuesday. they're out of the picture for wednesday. wednesday afternoon, 83 degrees. both humidity stays low on wednesday, but the temperatures start climbing on thursday. and by friday and saturday of next week, they're back into the 90s. a chance of storms on saturday, and then we're clearing out and cooling down a little bit on sunday. so, this weekend, a good chance you're going to need the umbrella, but less likely next weekend, as we'll be drying out, at least for sunday. katy? >> where we'll need the sunscreen next week. >> no doubt. >> thanks, bill. rocking the dnc. there's be no shortage of celebrities in philadelphia this week. coming up next, see who took to the stage for the final night of the dnc.

the event where hillary clinton made history is now history. the next stop for the democratic presidential nominee, temple university. a live look right now, where clinton and her running mate, tim kaine, will attend a post-nomination rally. last night, clinton capped off a four-day democratic party convention with a plea for national unity and tolerance. and it was quite the scene at the wells fargo center last

night. hillary clinton pledged to unit a divided country, and she cast herself as a tested, steady hand in troubled times. clinton was also trying to unify her party and last night she reminded sanders supporters that she is feeling the bern. >> i've heard you. your cause is our cause. clinton was not only looking to charge up the democratic base, but she's also trying to win over republicans. >> americans don't say i, alone, can fix it. we say, we'll fix it together! >> her republican challenger, donald trump, campaigns later today in colorado. hillary clinton and tim kaine are not ready to say good-bye to the philadelphia area just yet. they are getting ready to hold a rally on the campus of temple university. it's scheduled for noon and right now, we find nbc 10's aundrea cline-thomas standing by live for us. give us a preview of what you're

expecting there. a lot of people poured in earlier this morning. >> reporter: oh, absolutely, katy. right now, just take a look. the rally actually has started, but we're still 30 minutes away from hillary clinton. and tim kaine speaking here. more than a thousand people are here. i talked to some of the voters who say they were proud of how the democratic convention went. some said they're tired after watching all of those speeches late into the night, but they're still very excited about seeing hillary clinton and tim kaine in person. the candidates are trying to ride the momentum of that convention at this, their first stop on the bus tour. and it's fitting that they spend more time here. after all, pennsylvania is a battleground state and some of the latest polls have clinton and trump head-to-head. so later today, the bus tour will make stops in hatsfield and harrisburg. then it heads to ohio. again, it will be about 30 minutes before hillary clinton and tim kaine take the stage.

we're going to stay here and bring you all the highlights, both on air and online. reporting live from temple university, aundrea cline-thomas, nbc 10 news. >> it wasn't just hillary clinton's night to make history at the dnc. sarah mcbride from wilmington made her mark in history by being the first openly transgender person to address a major party's convention. >> but i believe that tomorrow can be different. tomorrow we can be respected and protected. especially if hillary clinton is our president. and that's why i'm proud to stand here and say that i'm with her. >> mcbride was the first transgender intern at the white house. she also was close with the bidens, working on beau biden's campaign. the national gay and lesbian chamber of commerce hosted a celebration at the comcast center in center city yesterday night. democratic house leader nancy pelosi was one of the special

guests in attendance. also last night, the mother of a philadelphia police officer who was killed in the line of duty addressed the convention. she was added to the schedule, after the philadelphia fraternal order of police publicly criticized the dnc for only inviting family members of those killed by officers. officer moses walker was in plain clothes, walking home from his shift when he was shot and killed during a holdup in 2012. last night, his mother described finding christmas presents that he had wrapped and left. >> it was in august, but moses, he always thought ahead. he brought gifts to relatives, for single parents, for strangers down on their luck. >> moses served as a member of the philadelphia police force for 19 years. john mcnesby, president of the fraternal order of police, praised conventiongoers for making the change and adding family members of fallen

officers to the speaking lineup. another powerful and emotional speech we had heard at the convention last night came from the parents of a muslim american soldier, who was killed while fighting in iraq. his father told the crowd how his son sacrificed his life to save the lives of other soldiers, and then reminded them that donald trump would not have wanted his immigrant son in this country. he was referring to the ban on muslims that trump has proposed. >> donald trump, you're asking americans to trust you with their future. let me ask you, have you even read the united states constitution? >> chan urged those watching him not to take this election lightly and asked him to honor his son's sacrifice by voting for hillary clinton. it's 11:33 now. and philadelphia had prepared

for the democratic national convention for more than a year, prepping the wells fargo center alone took almost two months. and now the big cleanup is underway. nbc 10's matt delucia shows us what you did not see when network cameras turned off. >> reporter: after four days of speeches and performances, down come the balloons. >> oh, my god, it's like new year's and christmas and your birthday and everything all in one. >> reporter: a sea of air-filled rubber, fun to toss, kick, or -- >> what do you think of the balloons? >> i love them! >> reporter: but when the crowds leave, a mess is left behind. signs, confetti, it's a celebratory ghost town, until these men show up. >> this is like the job to have right now.

you know? the only thing you've got to do is pop, pop, pop, pop. armed with a specially designed 2016 pin, that's all brian here needs. >> what i said, a fun pin to bust all these balloons. >> reporter: by the second hour, the tiny pins gave way to large popping sticks, with some help from the audience. >> whatever i can do. if i could take that whole sea of balloons home with me, i would do it. >> i'm cleaning up, you know, saving some of the -- >> reporter: got some souvenirs? >> exactly. >> i'm going to try to look for one of those hillary poles with, but every one i see is stepped on or relatively trampled. >> reporter: the rest ends up in the trash while some believe they have taken home a piece of history. you're doing your part? >> absolutely. absolutely. absolutely.

absolutely. usa! >> reporter: in south philadelphia, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. >> thank you, matt. philadelphia mayor jim kenney paid tribute to mrs. clinton by recreating an iconic picture. kenny posted a photo of himself on twitter wearing sunglasses and using a krmcell phone. along with the picture, he wrote, thanks for accepting the responsibility of our world's future and keeping the promise of equality. the picture mimics the now-famous picture of senator clinton wearing sunglasses as she looked at her mobile device. the picture led to texts from hillary meme, but later took on new meaning after controversy swirled over her use of a private e-mail challenger. trump's campaign slammed clinton's speech last night, calling it an insulting collection of collie shays and recycled rhetoric. the statement on trump's campaign facebook page this morning says clinton's stance on immigration will take jobs,

resources and benefits from the most vulnerable citizens of the united states and give them to citizens of other countries. his running mate, governor mike pence campaigned this morning in his home state of indiana. he spoke to a gathering of bikers in indianapolis. he then joined in a ride to raise money for the indiana national guard family relief fun fund. >> now your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> it's 11:37. a live look right now at frawley stadium, home of the wilmington blue rocks, where there will be a double header tonight because of yesterday's rain. so you can expect sunshine and warmer weather later today. but the weekend is a different story. and with more details on that, let's bring in first alert meteorologist bill henley. hey, bill. >> yeah, it will be nice to be able to hit the pause button. we've got sunshine at the shore and temperatures that have climbed into the 70s and very low 80s. 80 now in woodbine and cape may courthouse, ocean city is 78. and 77 degrees in atlantic city.

the weekend will be warm, but we will see the return of clouds and showers and thunderstorms. it's not going to be an all-day rainfall or all-day storms on saturday, but they will be moving in, a mostly cloudy day for philadelphia. 85 degrees. middle 80s for the pennsylvania suburbs. the lehigh valley, into the low 80s. the jersey shore, this is where you're more likely to see some sunshine in delaware, too, on saturday, but by sunday, those clouds are taking over at the shore. delaware beaches, 85 degrees in the afternoon, with some sunshine and still the possibility of showers and thunderstorms. and if you're heading up to the pocono raceway, it's going to be a busy weekend, saturday morning, some sunshine, 78 degrees, but clouds build in the afternoon. there's a chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon on saturday. but not an all-day rainfall. a better chance of some steadier showers in the area on sunday morning. it's 66 degrees, into the 70s with a chance of showers in the afternoon. i'll show you when we'll finally

get some sunny days that aren't too hot with a ten-day forecast, when i'm back in just a few minutes. katy? >> all right, we like that. thanks, bill. authorities in michigan just charged six more state employees in the flint, michigan, water crisis. lead pipes corroded and caused lead to leak into flint's drinking water. the trouble happened when the city switched the city's water supply from detroit to water from the flint river, which did not contain corrosion control chemicals. last month, the prosecutor announced that civil suits and criminal charges would be brought against those who contributed to the problem. the countdown to rio continues. we are now just one week away from the start of the games on august 5th in brazil. and nbc 10 is the only place where you can see all of the action. more athletes arrived yesterday from russia, indonesia, and hungary. supporters of the russian team gathered at the airport to welcome the athletes and officials. the russian team is smaller than

planned, because many were banned over a doping scandal. leading up to the games, many athletes expressed concerns about the zika outbreak in brazil, but the world health organization director general says today that the risk of zika infection has been found to be both low and manageable. the mosquito-born illness can lead to severe birth defects. starting this monday, you'll have to pre-pay to ride septa's regional rail in center city during the evening rush hour. conductors will not accept money on the trains at temple, jefferson, suburban, 30th street or university city stations. at those stops, you'll have to buy a ticket or pass before boarding the train and those fares will be collected prior to your boarding. the hope is this temporary change eases congestion and crowding at center stations. in new jersey, a computer glitch led to delays yesterday at the state's motor vehicle

commission. our sister station, news 4 new york, reports the lines stretched out the door at one office in burton county and customers had a four-hour wait. the glitch happened around noon and was fixed about an hour later. now, a similar problem happened on tuesday. the philadelphia eagle that is making magic for the country to see. >> you were absolutely fantastic last night and i guess the philadelphia eagles have to wait a little longer for you then, right? >> the wild ride continues for jon dorenbos on the nbc hit show, "america's got talent." up next, i talked to jon about the experience that he's had and what the eeg tagles think of al this national attention. well, the rain has disappeared. we've got sunshine at the shore. a beautiful view from sea isle city this morning. but it's a view that will be changing this weekend. the weekend and beyond, the ten-day on 10 welcome just 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!"

welcome back, say the name hank gathers to any longtime philadelphian. 26 years after the rising basketball star's sudden court collapse and death, there are still haunting members of that terrible moment and thoughts of what could have been. the life and death of hank gathers a star at mural dobbins technical high school who went on to play is the subject of a new documentary called "hank gathers: made in philly." tony paris is the man behind

this project and joins us now this morning. tony, thanks so much for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> so you're a new yorker. what made you focus your project on a philadelphia guy? >> i've been living in the philadelphia area for about 20 years now, after growing up in new york. and i just listened to some of the stories that a lot of my friends here talked about, the basketball stories and the great tradition and the history here in philadelphia. i just thought it was a story that needed to be told. >> well, so many people know about his death, that he had a heart condition, and that he -- ultimately -- he was taking medication, stopped taking medication, and that ultimately lead to his collapse and death on the court. a very public scene. so, tell me, why are people still interested 26 years after this happened? >> he was such a prominent, respectful figure in philadelphia. and people still recognize him to this day. they had hank gathers basketball league on 25th and dime at the gathers center every sunday to honor him. and his friends that he grew up and played basketball with in

the public league, they still remember him and they wear his t-shirts and they put up the 44th sign all the time. he has a great memory and great respect for the things that he's done for the citizens of philadelphia. >> he had a huge fan following and aspirations of going on to the nba. you worked with his brother on this project, right? >> yes, yes. >> tell me some of the things you learned from his brother about his family and some inside info about hank. >> derek gathers was a huge instrument in making this film, just listening to some of the stories that he had told. but one of the things that a lot of people didn't know about hank, he was a great player in fchd, before he went to loyola marimount. he was such a dominant and physical man during that time. and he made the public league great. he and his friends were great, even though they played at different schools. the competition they mustered up during that time was just tremendous. >> yeah. >> just made the public league a

great league at that time. >> well, everyone should watch this. what an inspiring guy. and left us too soon, right? >> yeah. >> let's recap for everyone. you can watch "hank gathers: made in philly" tomorrow night at 10:30 p.m. on the comcast network. again, tony paris, the guy behind this, thanks so much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. appreciate it. >> announcer: now your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> rain is out of the picture. you definitely need the sunglasses this morning and this afternoon. scattered clouds, but no rainfall around. look at teaeaston, a beautiful morning. it's going to be a pretty warm afternoon. just some scattered clouds. 82 at 2:00. 85 at 5:00 today. no sign of the 90s today. and not in the near future, either. 80 in south jersey, philadelphia, delaware is up to 81 degrees. 8 degrees in the suburbs. you're still seeing some cooler spots, 79 in leaseport. and a couple areas in the low

80s for easton and bethlehem, enough sunshine that it will warm into the middle 80s this afternoon. no showers today, but they will be returning for tomorrow. what we will feel today is that nice breeze blowing out of the north. that's drier air coming in. that helps keep us cooler, and we'll slowly drop the humidity during the day. it won't be a massive drop, but it will make it much more comfortable than it's been lately. no chance for showers today, but that changes this weekend. the clouds return on saturday. friday evening, this evening, nice and dry. a bit muggy outside. and tomorrow morning, we'll be watching for some showers. the first of them showing up at the shore. that's 1:00 in the afternoon. and then moving inland. and this is where we can see them intensify. some storms are possible even into the late evening hours on saturday. and even more likely we'll get some wet weather for sunday. so there are some changes ahead for the weekend, after we enjoy sunshine today, 86 degrees in philadelphia this afternoon.

and 80s again tomorrow after morning low temperatures in the low 70s. the clouds increasing for tomorrow. tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, the best chance of seeing some showers and some thunderstorms in the area, not an all-day rainfall for saturday, but we could see steadier rain in store for us on sunday. 84, the high temperature, after another morning in the lower 70s. a chance of some thunderstorms on sunday. then we finally start drying out, so skies break for some sunshine on monday. 82 degrees. the high temperature, monday afternoon. and a shower is possible on tuesday, but, again, not an all-day rainfall, some sunshine, 80 the high temperature on tuesday. that's cooler than it's been in a long time, but a warming trend next week. by friday and saturday, we're back into the 90s. just for a couple of days. clearing skies next sunday with a high of 89. as we told you yesterday, veteran eagles long snapper, jon dorenbos' magical run on nbc's "america's got talent," well, it

continues. >> jon dorenbos! >> dorenbos advanced to the semi-finals wednesday night after wowing the judges and the audience with his incredible magic tricks. dorenbos had been excused from reporting to eagles training camp earlier in the week, so he could compete on the show. but he is back with the birds, at least for now. jon dorenbos joins us from the nova care complex in south philadelphia to tell us more about this pretty amazing run. jon, thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> well, eagles fans, for years, have known about this magic talent, but now you're getting some national exposure. so what's that like? >> it's totally rock star. so, you know, football and magic has been something in my life that's balanced my life for years and years. so i've been super fortunate to play in the nfl and for this wonderful city and this great team for 11 years, and now kind of to take it over to the theater and to kind of share a

different side of me and a different energy about me and a different love that i have, i mean, it's a total dream come true. i'm loving it. >> have you gotten to know the judges a bit? asides from predicting what they're going to draw on those pieces of paper, in terms of their personality, what are they like? >> you know, we don't have any interaction with them. the show does a great job of keeping it totally biassed and they generally want the judges to have no clue what you're doing and for them to be surprised to get authentic reactions. so my personal experiences with them are the same as everybody at home. they've all been super cool and obviously, i'm happy with the responses and, you know, sometimes even if you get a negative response, i think you just take it, you harness it, and you learn from it, knowing that these people know the entertainment business, they know what works and doesn't work. and it's up to us to make our acts better. >> well, philly is certainly cheering you on. it seems like you have a lot of support from your teammates. any advice from your teammates or coaches?

>> you know what, they like it, and it's cool. because in pro sports, we work hard and we push ourselves, not just for ourselves, but to be there for our teammates. and it's a family atmosphere. and you want to do well for your teammates, and to be a true pro, you want the respect of your teammates. and so when all the guys got around and they showed the team meeting and everyone kind of came together and supported it, it was, honestly, it was a really cool feeling. it was kind of emotional for me and kind of just stepped back and really appreciated -- really appreciated that. >> yeah, must make you feel good. you're heading back to california next week. what is the next step? >> it's actually -- it will be a few weeks. there's a few more episodes in this round, and then i'll go back and nbc's been absolutely wonderful working with my schedule and the show and it will be minimal days missed. i think one day, you know, is a day off anyway. so to have the support of this organization and this city, awesome. and the teammates, it's just -- dude, it's rock star.

that's what it is. it is totally rock star. >> ideally, we would have loved to have you in the studio to show us your tricks firsthand, but obviously the eagles take priority. so hopefully you'll come back in the next few months or next few weeks after you've reached the pinnacle and show us some tricks. >> dude, i would love it. and as long as i have an open invitation, i will be there anytime. >> all right. jon. well, great to meet you and hope to see a lot more of you on "america's got talent". >> hey, thank you. love you guys. thank you. >> a reminder, you can watch "america's got talent" tuesday night at 8:00 right here on nbc 10. it was great to have jon dorenbos on our program today.
