way to the west. this is timing out to affect us over a part of the weekend. i emphasize part. because even though we do have showers in the forecast for saturday, it's not an all-day thing. and we could get, a, thunderstorms in some spots, and then it moves out, and then the rest of the weekend is nice again. so speaking of nice, here we are tonight, comfortable. temperature by 7:00, in the 70s across the entire area. we're dropping into the 60s by just before midnight. and by tomorrow morning, we've got some spots in the upper 50s. allentown at 62 degrees by 7:30. that's up from the low of 58. by noontime, philadelphia's 81. atlantic city doesn't get to warm up a whole lot, because of the onshore wind. but it's still a beautiful day. still 77 at 5:00 there, while

at how it takes you right into the storm. problem? simple. no matter where storms are, radars are stuck on towers. and the farther you are from the tower, the less clear the weather picture. we wanted to get a clearer picture of what's going on up there. inside the clouds. and the solution? storm ranger 10. developed and built right here at nbc. so for the first time ever, we can take the radar with us. right to the storm. and give you that clearer picture. what other radars miss by shooting above the storm, we capture by bringing storm ranger 10 to the storm. and that means giving you layers of protection. the first layer of protection, 30 miles from the radar. at that distance, the beam is very low, meaning you could see almost the entire storm.

everything below 2,000 feet. the outer ring is 60 miles away. we can see everything below 5,000 feet. so if you're within either of these rings, storm ranger's got you covered. the areas served by radars are the ones most likely to get severe weather. in reading, so much hail, they needed plows to clear it. the nearest radar? 104 miles away. with storm ranger 10, we can get a lot closer than that, and detect hail sooner and let you know wherever you are before the storm hits. getting closer means more protection. storm ranger 10, only on nbc 10. now, if you want to learn more about storm ranger 10, its forecasting capabilities, how it gathers information, and about this gap in radar coverage that

we have, especially in places like berks and chester counties, go to nbc10.com, tap for free nbc 10 app. i've got the list of the cities that are too far away from those stationary radars to be able to detect details. >> so this can bring us right into more accuracy. >> yes. we have to make the decision about where to send it. so for hurricanes, we'll send it to the coast. for severe thunderstorms, sometimes to the west. and in the wintertime, for rain versus snow, we send it right near the rain/snow line so we can get really precise just where the changeover is taking place. it's also great for hail. it's great for estimating rainfall amounts, too, over the traditional radars. >> all right. >> valuable tool. thanks, glenn. again, go to our app or website nbc10.com to learn more about storm ranger 10.

in this is the time of the year that you can see who you can take to the regular season. we had good performances out there today. >> we're just eight days away from the eagles' first preseason game, a week from tomorrow. it is the eagles and the bucks. the game can be seen live on csn and kozy tv. coverage starts at 6:30 with our pregame show. kickoff is set for 7:00. the eagles are real thin at running back right now. ryan matthews still hasn't practiced yet with the sore ankle. smallwood did not practice today with a quad strain. he's going to miss a few days. we'll hear from the players about all the hitting. that's coming up at 6:00. now, your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> we certainly had great weather for that practice time of year. we could have 100-degree temperatures and high humidity. we didn't have the heat, and we didn't have the humidity. it's 84 in philadelphia right now. 80 in lehigh valley.

cooler at the shore. we've got winds coming in off the ocean, 78 degrees in somers point. the ocean temperature warm. 77 degrees. august and september, that's when the ocean temperature reached its peak. picture perfect for the rest of the week. we have a light southeast flow preventing it from getting too hot. it's not a strong enough flow to bring in a lot of moisture from the atlantic. that's what makes it perfect. and by thursday night, we're still pretty clear. into friday, we're pretty clear. there's friday night. still clear. now, on saturday, that's a different story. we may see some showers and storms move through. but just some. now, here are the neighborhoods tomorrow. the temperature at the bottom is the feels-like temperature. because the humidity is so low, it's actually going to feel not

as warm as the temperature. so for washton, the temperature is 85, but it will only feel like 81. westchester will be the same, 81 and 81. somerton, 83, feeling like 82. easton, the same as 83, 82. easton township 84 degrees, feeling like 82. at the shore, a little bit higher humidity, and that's why the 78 in stone harbor feels like 80. rehoboth feels like 81. now let's see what happens as we go through friday and into saturday. here's that system coming in from the west. now, this is not a strong front. this is not a system with a lot of moisture. this is not a system with a lot of severe weather. but we do have this general area of showers later on during the day coming through. the chance of any rain in any one spot, let's say in allentown, is a little better

than 50/50 on saturday. very low probabilities until then. similar story in philadelphia and dover. i think the probability will be even lower. down by 30%. and the jersey shore, it's not much over 50/50. that's the story of the day on saturday. by saturday night, things are already starting to improve. so don't let that thunderstorm symbol get you to cancel your plans. it is going to be hot. it is going to be humid. if you want more comfortable air, that's sunday. and pretty much assured of not getting rain. so we do have some differences from saturday to sunday. but neither day is going to be a washout. so there's that thunderstorm symbol. it's going to be hot. 92 with high humidity. it may feel like it's about 95. then on sunday, 87, with lower humidity, low humidity on monday. wind coming in off the ocean. and then as we start getting that land breeze, look at the temperature go up. 90 degrees on wednesday.

95 thursday. so we may start getting into another heat wave here as we go into the end of next week, and next weekend with temperatures into the mid-90s. >> all right, glenn. the olympics, the games get under way just over 48 hours. >> nbc 10 is your place to see all the action. bringing the games to you is no easy task. there's a massive team getting ready in rio right now. up next, the behind-the-scenes to see what it takes to broadcast the olympics to america.
