5:05 pm
mid-80s. right now we're 86 in philadelphia. 89 in parts of delaware and lehigh valley. close to the 90-degree mark. let's take a look at the lehigh valley. the temperature in blandon and len arizonaville in the 90s. it's two places close together. normally i would normally cross one of them out. but you've got them verifying each other. leesport at 90 degrees, too. mertztown 85. bethlehem is 90 degrees. so a few places in the area did hit the 90-degree mark. not tomorrow, though. as we take a look at the forecast for tomorrow, we start off with the sunshine, and then the thunderstorms come in during the afternoon. temperatures into the 80s, barely to 80 in the p.a. suburbs. lehigh valley, you see the thunderstorms in the afternoon. in delaware, we could even start seeing them before noontime tomorrow. and the one place likely to stay dry during the daytime hours is

5:09 pm
is one step closer to becoming law. state senators approved a new proposal today that would raise the gas tax to pay for road and bridge work and cut the estate tax. it's the latest effort to reduce the transportation trust fund that expired at the beginning of this month. governor chris christie has said he will veto that new legislation. the septa slowdown is forcing regional rail riders to buy tickets in advance in order to get out of center city. septa's new policy will require riders to buy passes at a ticket office before boarding at any center city station. a septa spokesperson tells us the transit agency made the change after dozens of structurally deficient rail cars were pulled out of service. the change goes into effect coming up on monday. part of hamilton street in university city has a new name. the 3600 block is now called inho o memorial way, named after a penn student murdered in 1958. this is the first street to bear
5:10 pm
the name of an asian memorial in the city of philadelphia. during the dnc, philadelphia was the center of politics. now atlantic city might be taking over. you're going to see how the presidential race has inspired a wave of t-shirts at the jersey shore. plus, it's a new chapter for the zika virus. what doctors have discovered for the first time in the united states. and what it means for the spread of that disease. also, attacked in the woods. a jersey shore man said a coyote came after him. and now neighbors are on alert.
5:13 pm
decision 2016, the conventions are over, but the battle for the white house is just beginning. we still have 102 days until the election. if the last two weeks have shown us anything, it is going to get ugly. chuck todd will be following it all. he's joining us now. chuck, a day after the dnc wraps up, hillary clinton already on the campaign trail. right here in pennsylvania. donald trump was in scranton here earlier in the week as we know. so what can we expect from both candidates as they fight for this battleground state, do you think? >> well, look, i think in the next month it's going to determine if donald trump truly can put pennsylvania in play, and put the entire rust belt, or the northern tier of this country in play. different states. the focus, pennsylvania, ohio,
5:14 pm
polls have shown they are competitive. but it isn't competitive right now in michigan and wisconsin. and that to me -- that's what i'm watching for in the next four weeks. can trump put -- add more rust belt states to the competitive battleground, and if he can, then he does have a way to get to 270 electoral votes, even if he ends up loses places like california, virginia and florida. that's to me where we're at. the clinton campaign knows if they can lock down pennsylvania, they may actually cut off any path trump has to victory. >> okay. looking in the rear-view mirror, what would you say the big message is we saw from each candidate coming out of their conventions? >> well, i think basically with trump, he wants to double down on the negative feelings people have about the direction of the country. he believes that he is -- that the country wants massive change and he made an argument for massive change. and he painted a pretty grim
5:15 pm
picture of what america looks like. and to a chunk of voters, i think that's what they wanted to hear. and that's why he had some residents, and why you saw a minimum of bounce. i think it came with the clinton convention, they wanted to say, hey, she's a steady hand. she has the temperament. she's prepared to do the job. and then they wanted to make the case that donald trump doesn't have the temperament to be president. let alone the experience. they don't want to make this about experience, they want to make it about temperament and judgment. so i think both conventions, and both nominees conveyed what they want the campaign to be. the question is, who is more effective with it. i can tell you this, the democrats seemed to have a more cohesive convention, and one that was sort of more systematic in its approach of taking down trump and promoting clinton, where the republicans were a bit more chaotic. >> chuck todd, thank you, as always. get some rest after the last two weeks. >> i'm ready for it. you got it, bud.
5:16 pm
we'll have more highlights, insights and analysis from the campaign trail on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt at 6:30 right here on nbc 10. well, as we've been telling you, we expected the rain and thunderstorms in the morning, and then improving conditions during the day. it's really been a pretty nice afternoon. temperatures generally shy of the 90-degree mark everywhere. 89 degrees parts of lehigh valley, delaware, even pennsylvania suburbs getting close. collegeville at 91. chester heights at 85. warrington 87. gladwin 85. nice and comfortable this time of the year. that's without the cloud cover. so you get sunshine and comfortable weather. a lot of people may be happy about that. it's dry. in the philadelphia area. but we do have some showers, a
5:17 pm
few of them getting close to the poconos up here. but the main area is way back to the west. and that is going to be moving in as we head into the weekend. the heat wave, though, pretty much over. it's not official yet, but we do expect the temperatures to stay down into the 80s, both tomorrow, and sunday. with the showers and thunderstorms moving in as we head into especially tomorrow afternoon. and then again on sunday afternoon. the best chance of dry weather, as you see, going through tomorrow is in the morning. there's 9:00 a.m. and we have the dry conditions. there could even be some showers develop before noontime tomorrow. look at the temperatures. only getting into the mid-80s. not a whole lot of wind. but the threat of storms goes into the afternoon, and into the
5:18 pm
evening. for tonight, it's a nice night across the whole area. no rain expected. humidity not too bad. we go through the night, and it stays pretty pleasant. by tomorrow morning, look at the temperatures, in the 70s. fair amount of sunshine. could be a little bit of patchy fog in a few places. but remember, there's been a lot of rain that has fallen. especially in delaware and south jersey. and so that's what we have to keep a focus on during tomorrow afternoon and sunday. because there could be some locally heavy rain. we just hope it's not in the places that got hit hard yesterday. now, tomorrow afternoon, we do have thunderstorms starting to develop here. but not in atlantic city. i think that the shore is going to be the last place to see any of those showers. and that may not come until tomorrow night. there's 5:00 p.m. still on the dry side. some thunderstorms.
5:19 pm
philadelphia, look how it knocks down the temperature in allentown, quakertown, and exton, knocking it into the 70s. poconos, we have a big weekend there. a lot of races. but the only dry weather i see is saturday morning. i do see a significant amount of showers and storms both saturday afternoon and sunday afternoon. some of that on the heavy side. and at the jersey shore, saturday looks to be the nicer day of the two. 78 degrees for tomorrow. those thunderstorms tomorrow night. and then on sunday, 76 degrees, with showers and storms. the weekend forecast showing temperatures in the 80s. showers and storms both saturday and sunday afternoon. and as we go into the ten-day period, we still see some lingering showers into monday, and possibly tuesday. but the temperature is down,
5:20 pm
until we get to next week. when we start getting back into the 90s. >> okay, glenn. it's very likely that the first local outbreak of the zika virus is in the u.s. happening in a small area of south florida. at least four people are infected with the virus. and likely contracted it from mosquitoes on u.s. soil. here's erica edwards. >> reporter: one square mile of land just north of miami is florida's zika area of concern. four people there, one woman and three men, have been infected with the virus. florida's governor said the cases are likely the result of local mosquitoes. now scientists are trapping and testing the mosquitoes around patient homes in search of the virus. >> while no mosquito traps have tested positive for the zika virus, the department of health is aggressively testing people in the affected area. >> reporter: doctors do not expect large outbreaks in this country, but do predict there
5:21 pm
will be more home-grown cases. >> i'm almost certain that we're going to see more. the critical issue is how do you respond to that. >> reporter: the mosquitoes responsible for the disease, can breed in standing water, even bottle caps. they say it's important to clean out any standing water. invest in a good bug spray. >> particularly deet, up to 30%. we need to get over thinking that insect repellant is toxic to us. it's not. >> reporter: also friday, president obama was briefed on the florida zika situation, and directed his administration to give that state's governor the support he needs to fight what appears to be the first local outbreak of zika on the u.s. mainland. erica edwards, nbc 10 news. six michigan state employees are charged with misconduct now and other related crimes related to the water crisis in flint. that state's attorney general
5:22 pm

5:27 pm

5:32 pm
make their candidate look good, the other candidate look bad. >> let's start with statements about your money. a major talking point for both candidates on the final nights of each convention. donald trump said hillary clinton plans a massive tax increase. fact check.org said this statement is misleading. 95% of taxpayers would see little or no change in their taxes under clinton's plan. under trump's tax plan, all income levels would see their taxes reduced. but the biggest cuts according to fact check.org would go to the wealthiest americans. tax cuts for the rich, something clinton zeroed in on. >> wall street, corporations and the super rich are going to start paying their fair share. this is not because we resent success. but when more than 90% of the gains have gone to the top 1%, that's where the money is. >> those figures excited the dnc crowd, but fact check.org said
5:33 pm
not accurate. according to economists, the top 1% of families captured 22% of income growth, not 90%. that's an outdated figure. now, to both statements that fact check dorg said were misrepresentations of the facts. >> iran is on the path to nuclear weapons. >> according to experts iran was already on the path to nuclear weapons before clinton became secretary of state in 2009. >> which is why i alone can fix it. >> really? i alone can fix it? >> fact check.org said clinton misrepresented the fix it claim by trump, suggesting he said he could fix everything by himself. in fact, trump said as a political outsider he could fix a rigged system. >> vice president joe biden is
5:34 pm

5:35 pm
mostly sunny skies. the warmest 89 in lehigh valley, parts of delaware. and right in the city of philadelphia, we do have 90 degrees at parkside. but other areas generally pretty close to 90, but not quite there. society hill 89. bustleton only 86 degrees. as we go through the night tonight, and into tomorrow morning, it's looking pretty good. fairly comfortable compared to what we've seen. even in the p.a. suburbs, upper 60s tomorrow morning. we haven't seen temperatures like that in a while. lehigh valley sunny to start the day. new jersey, sunny. jersey shore, delaware. but we do have more showers and storms over the weekend. i'll have the timing on that in a few minutes. atlantic city's council approved a loan to stave off possible bankruptcy. council members say the $74

eagles fans, tailgating returns to the linc this weekend. >> the eagles had their first open practice on sunday. if you're not into tailgating, maybe you don't feel like breaking out the hotdogs, grilling it up, everybody asking for free food. >> sounds good, though. >> it's good for the people who get to freeload. but if you have to cook it, a different story. the team is offering fun activities for the families. the gates open bright and early at 8:00. >> amy, the eagles have been practicing for a few days now. are fans going to like what they
5:40 pm
see, do you think? >> reporter: i think so. it's a whole new system on both sides of the ball, jim. but one returning eagle is going to be here for this season and a little bit longer now. darren sproles had a contract extension today, through next season. sproles took most of the first reps at running back today. the eagles inside for practice today because of the weather. doug peterson was asked about bradford's progress today. >> he's done a great job already through his leadership ability, the way he's communicating with his players. he's still learning the system. he's picking up the nuances of the offense and progression, and throwing the football accurately on time has stuck out. he's done a really good job this spring and beginning of camp. he's just going to continue to grow each and every day.

5:42 pm
just for ourselves, but to be there for our teammates. it's a family atmosphere. to be a true pro, you want the respect of your teammates. when all the guys got around and showed it in the team meeting and everybody came around and supported it, honestly, it was a really cool feeling. it was kind of emotional for me. i kind of stepped back and really appreciated that. >> at least one of his teammates already knows what trick jon will use on the next show. but sorry, he wasn't giving any hints. >> you know, he's got to save something. we've got to watch it on meerk got talent. >> i'm sure it's going to be great. quite a sight to see just moments after hillary clinton finished her speech at the dnc. more than 100,000 balloons started falling from the ceiling of the wells fargo center. then it was time to start popping. we'll show you how crews got these balloons all cleaned up. and had some fun doing it, too. okay, ready?

5:46 pm
but it's true. manchester police are not sure if it was a wild dog or a coyote. a man walking his german shepherd was attacked. the dog bites on both of the man's arms required 30 stitches. >> he was walking his own dog back there. and a large brown dog attacked him. >> reporter: out of nowhere? >> that's exactly what he said. >> reporter: the man bitten did not want to go on camera. police have alerted his neighbors on johnson avenue. their advice, never feed a coyote. if you're walking at night or in the woods, bring noise makers, whistles or horns can scare kay yoet away. >> kind of scary. i keep my eyes open more. >> reporter: a neighbor is keeping his dog roxy close to home. even his mom didn't believe him. >> there's howling. no, there's not. there's howling. mom, don't let the dog out. >> reporter: no one has seen the
5:47 pm
coyote or wild dog since wednesday. and manchester police believe he may have already left the area. in manchester township new jersey, i'm jen maxfield for nbc 10 news. now, your nbc 10 first alert weather. well, we finally got some nice, comfortable weather, without rain. and clouds. it was really a nice afternoon. 89 degrees in delaware right now. at least on average in some parts of the area. odessa is 89. wilmington 88. middletown 87. and wind off the water keeping the temperatures down at the delaware beaches. rehoboth 76. bethany 78 degrees. they were all in the 80s just a couple of hours ago. while millsboro at 85 degrees. the longest heat wave of the season. but that has ended up.
5:48 pm
officially the high temperature for today, 89 degrees. we had seven straight days of temperatures in the 90s. the longest heat wave of the season. the third heat wave of the month. we were 95 degrees yesterday. and we'll be a little bit cooler as we head into the next couple of days. this is what the radar looked like in the morning. this is what we were expecting. and unfortunately, parts of delaware, and south jersey, got the heaviest rain again. just like yesterday. and they don't need that. they had some more flooding. there's going to be some more over the weekend. if we get any more of those things. now, that moved out, and cleared out. we have really nice afternoon here. but the total rainfall over the last 24 hours or so, you can see quite a difference, this area south of philadelphia, even south of wilmington, is the most vulnerable as we head into the weekend. all right?
5:49 pm
