good evening, everybody, i'm jim rosenfield. william lynn was the first catholic church official charged and convicted in helping to shield child molesters. a judge overturned the ruling last week. three hours ago william lynn walked out of the prison about 20 miles outside scranton. only nbc 10 was there. nbc 10's rosemary connors joins us live from center city now with more on what's next. rosemary? >> reporter: well, jim, here at the district attorney's office in center city, prosecutors over the coming months will be mapping out their case against monsignor william lynn for a second time. now, his new trial is expected to be scheduled for sometime next year. but already, plenty of people are weighing in on the case. and his release from prison earlier today on $250,000 bail. in center city, the rivera

family who brought their son to see the sanctuary thought they had put monsignor william lynn and the case behind him. his release today on bail didn't sit well to them. >> the justice system convicted him once. >> reporter: while some evidence detailing the history of priest abuse and cover-up in the archdiocese may very well not be allowed in court this time around, williams is confident his team will have enough to get a second conviction. >> i firmly believe there will be sufficient evidence, again, to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that monsignor lynn knew that he was taking pedophile priests, moving them to other parishes and, therefore, endangering the welfare of thousands of children in the city of philadelphia. >> i certainly don't condone what he did. i really do think he's the fall guy in all of this. and if we've learned one thing from history, it's just following orders is not a defense. >> reporter: the renewed

attention on the charges against monsignor lynn left many catholics at the basilica today reluctant to talk on camera. there was mixed reaction to lynn's case. >> everybody deserves a second chance. >> it does change the feelings about the charge. >> you feel you can't trust the way you used to be able to trust something. >> reporter: monsignor lynn's trial lasted about three months. however, many tied to the case expect it will be much shorter for the second time. because of the evidence allowed in during the first trial will most likely not be allowed in this time around. it was the basis for his conviction being overturned. rosemary connors, nbc 10 news. decision 2016 now from joking from receiving a purple heart to kicking out a crying baby. donald trump at a rally today raised some eyebrows. >> i thought, man, that was big

stuff. i always wanted to get the purple heart. this was much easier. >> trump spoke about receiving a copy of a purple heart from a veteran just before the rally. he seemingly -- his comments come among his ongoing feud with the parents of a muslim-american soldier who was killed in iraq. minutes later, it was a crying baby who seemed to get the best of trump. >> actually, i was only kidding. you can get the baby out of here. that's all right. don't worry. i think she would have believed me that i loved having a baby crying while i'm speaking. that's okay. people don't understand. >> trump originally told the crowd he loved babies when he first heard the crying. democratic vice presidential nominee tim kaine later joked, sometimes you wonder who the baby is. one of trump's sons says his father's comments about the cahn

family have been blown out of proportion. a crack in new jersey governor chris christie's support for trump today, he's not backing trump when it comes to the cahn controversy. >> you'll not find me being critical of mr. or mrs. cahn, even if i may disagree with any one particular statement they might make. it's just inappropriate for us in this context to be criticizing them. i'm not going to participate in that. >> democrat hillary clinton had no public events today because she was attending a private funeral. but president obama weighed in on trump's recent comments today. the president said trump's not qualified to become president. and questioned why top republicans keep endorsing him. >> i think the republican nominee is unfit to serve as president. i said so last week, and he keeps on proving it. >> new nbc news survey monkey

10. first alert meteorologist sheena parveen shows you how this radar on wheels works. >> reporter: this is storm ranger 10. it's the only radar on wheels that you'll only find on nbc 10. that means it's basically your neighborhood radar. we can move this wherever we want, whenever we want, to have a better look at storms and whatever type of weather is heading your way. and now we're going to take a peek inside storm ranger 10's radar so you can see what it looks like. this radar is smaller than a normal radar. it means we can put it in areas where stationary radars can't go. think about it like this. if we can fill in the gaps that other radars miss, that means we have a better look at storms. on top of storm ranger 10, it's our very own weather station. it gets transmitted right here

on the computer. we're able to tell you wind speeds over 90 miles an hour. wind direction, also humidity, air pressure, air temperature. so all of this comes together to bring you the most ak crass up-to-date current information in your neighborhood, wherever storm ranger 10 is. make storm ranger 10 unique. so now you know. storm ranger 10 is only on nbc 10. and it's the only radar on wheels, which means that we can move it wherever we want, whenever we want, in any kind of weather. realtime data, we fill in the gaps where other radars miss. so now we can tell you the type of weather that's coming, how severe it is and when it's going to get here. all to keep you safe. and did i mention we're the only station that has it? storm ranger 10 only on nbc 10. >> it's good in all seasons, all weather types. >> we'll drive it to the rain/snow line in the

wintertime. it's really good to differentiate the type of precipitation as well. you can't just buy this off the shelf, like go to ebay and get one. >> first you need to save up. >> right. but even if you had the money, this was developed right here at nbc. we saw the need, we sent some people out to some of the top companies in the country to help create this thing. it really is a one of a kind. >> it's finally here. exciting. >> yeah. and yesterday, just in time for the strong storms. >> we needed it. >> today, the only place that had storms, that's where we sent it. today was kind of an easier call as to where to send the truck. sometimes there will be storms in new jersey, storms in pennsylvania. there will have to be decisions made. 80 degrees in philadelphia now. 70s in many other parts of the area. and it's been fairly cloudy all day, with the east wind that's kept the temperature down. but we're going to be clearing out in the lehigh valley.

easton by morning, down to 63 degrees. really nice night. and a great day tomorrow. the humidity is going down, finally. there's that one little cluster of showers. it went right through berks county. that's where we sent storm ranger 10 out today. because you want to get close to the storm. the radar beamed those up in the earth's curvature, shooting up into the clouds, if you've got radar down there, or way out there. so we put the radar right where the storms are. you're within this inner ring. that's within 30 miles. you get the most accurate information there. so we've got the truck close enough to this storm. so we're within 30 miles. and if it had large hail, if it had indication of a tornado, we'd have a better chance of detecting that. now, as we go through the next couple of days, we're going to keep the onshore wind. but it's going to weaken. so those clouds are going to be breaking up. we're going to see more

sunshine, we're going to see lower humidity. later on during the week, the 90-degree temperatures, and higher humidity start to return. there's the showers moving out. once they move out, we're in a dry pattern. except for saturday, we may stay dry for ten days. so here's philadelphia tomorrow. starting off kind of nice. ending up kind of nice. sunshine all day. east wind. no showers or thunderstorms. this is the feels-like temperature, okay? there's the high. that's the feels-like high. somerton feeling like 81, because the humidity will be way low for august. allentown, feeling like 81. washington feeling like 80. at the shore, feeling just a little bit warmer, 80 degrees at longport. rehoboth beach feeling like 80. that's pretty nice for this time of the year for most of us. dry weather for the next three

days. comfortable the next two. and then starting to warm up on friday. lehigh valley only 84 on friday. jersey shore getting into the 80s as the wind starts to turn into the west as we head toward the weekend. here's the ten-day forecast. warming up on friday. saturday may be the hottest day around. one chance of a thunderstorm. that's not an all-day thing either. look what happens next week, looks like a fairly dry pattern and we start getting hot later in the week. i'm john clark live at villanova for tennis. one of the stars is going right from here to rio for the olympics. why she's not afraid of the zika virus. and hear from the birds. it's all next. okay, ready?
