areas, you're dealing with wet roads. the one thing it's doing is really helping to cool those temperatures down. south brunswick seeing the heavy rain here. it's more near pennington and hopewell township that we're watching closely because some of that rain is heavy with lightning around, too. temperature-wise, it is very hot outside, except for the areas that saw the rain. the temperature in coatesville, 79 degrees. philadelphia 94. vineland 92. even mount holly 92. the big concern is how hot it actually feels when you factor in the humidity. philadelphia, feeling like 105. if you're in dover, you feel like 116 right now. vineland feeling like 107. mount holly feeling close to 100 degrees there. so we'll keep the heat and the humidity in the forecast for tonight, and all the way through your weekend. so we still have a first alert out for dangerous heat. philadelphia, pennsylvania suburbs, new jersey and delaware, this will run through sunday. your entire weekend will be hot and humid. both weekend days will be

feeling around 100 to 110 degrees. maybe even a little bit hotter. we'll talk more about your weekend forecast and the next chance for thunderstorms coming up. >> so we don't really need to tell you not to spend long stretches of time outside. tim furlong is joining us live from lewis with a look at how people at least tried to brave the elements today. tim? >> reporter: yeah, jim, for many people, this is the end of their vacation. they wanted to get beach time no matter what. but the water as you come down here, it feels great in lewis right now. all these people still out here. it feels a lot better than it did earlier. the sun is still pretty intense. it feels like you're on the top rack of the oven. >> it's too hot to do anything. of course we came to the beach. >> reporter: on the delaware beaches -- >> a great place to be. >> reporter: -- the water is extra warm, the sand is extra hot. no flip-flops, sprint up to the ice cream store where sales actually go down when the temperature goes up this high. >> quite a few people are coming

up. not as much as a normal day because it's so hot. the ice cream melts really fast. >> reporter: out at the water park, water, water everywhere. a huge bucket will dump on your head. a cooler alternative to the beach today. >> being in the sand, being real hot walking through it. the water park's great, too. >> reporter: not much breeze to help them out today. one of the few days it may not be great to work on a beach, it's that hot. >> drink a lot of water, try to find shade whenever possible. >> reporter: businesses do okay today. fewer people on the sand can mean more people in the shops. the cultured pearl restaurant has one of the best decks on the beach. >> the atmosphere is unbeatable up here. >> reporter: not a great day to have lunch out here. but when the sun goes down, the breeze will pick up and this place will be packed despite the heat. >> it will be fine. there won't be anybody complaining about the weather. >> reporter: nobody complaining right now in lewis, too.

new castle county pushed back the fun day to 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. and keeping the pools open longer. right here in the water in lewis right now, it feels pretty good. i'm glad the sand is cooling down. i'll show you where our truck is. see that building back there? our truck is behind that. so if this sand was as hot as it was about an hour ago, i would have a tough time making it back there on my own. that sand is pretty hot on my tootsies a little while ago. >> take care of those tootsies, tim. if you have an actual heat emergency, there is a number you can call. if you live in philadelphia, here it is on your screen, 215-765-9040. we have that number and numbers for other counties in our area scrolling across the bottom of your screen. and also, on the nbc 10 app. to rio now, and a stunner on the soccer field. heart break in fact for south jersey's carli lloyd and team

usa. my co-anchor jacqueline london joining us in rio. we didn't see this one coming. >> reporter: no, jim, it's a first for team usa in women's soccer. ever since soccer became an olympic sport, back in 1996, the women have always made it to the finals. that all changed today. let's go and take a look at that video and see what happened. alex morgan tied the game. with just a few minutes remaining. team usa lost in the penalty shootout. two americans missed, meaning they are out. much disappointment for south jersey's carli lloyd. she's already looking ahead. >> i think overall we played well. and it's unfortunate to lose. but you best believe in 2019 and 2020, we're going to be back for the gold. >> reporter: today brings the first day of track and field competition in rio, and the

fastest woman in the world will take part in the 100 meter dash, including english gardner. she will run in her first heat tonight. the semifinals are tomorrow. philadelphia fencer miles chamley watson is headed home with a medal. he beat italy today to capture the bronze. the victory ends an 84-year medal drought in team fencing. when i interviewed watson, i said where's the gold medal tattoo going to go? he won't get the gold, but maybe the bronze will end up somewhere on his canvas. also coming up, my interview with the final five women's gymnastics team. they were incredible to talk to. and something you really want to see intrigued them, coming up in just a few minutes. jim? >> see you in a bit. an unusual twist at home in the perjury trial of pennsylvania's attorney general. today lawyers for kathleen kane closed their case without

calling a single witness. multiple prosecution witnesses testified that kane leaked grand jury information to a reporter, but today kane told the judge she doesn't feel prosecutors made their case saying she didn't think it was necessary to testify. closing arguments are now set for monday. innocent children shot. two 6-year-olds victims of gunfire in different parts of philadelphia within just 48 hours. and this is the face of the most recent victim last night. he is in critical condition right now. tonight philly's top cop wants people to speak up and come forward with information. randy gyllenhaal joining us live from police headquarters on the heartbreaking stories. >> reporter: jim, police are offering up to a $10,000 reward in both of those cases. they say these suspects were firing discriminately last night, dozens of shots, one of them actually had an ak-47. at this point police say they don't have many leads and need help from the public.

>> so, please, come forward even if you don't want to give your name. >> reporter: a plea for help from philly police after two 6-year-olds were hit by stray gunfire just days apart. the city's police commissioner left shaking his head. >> reckless disregard for the life, and now you have a 6-year-old fighting for his life. >> reporter: brown was the most recent victim, sitting in his godfather's car last night when a gun battle erupted outside. the boy's family says he was hit in the chest with high-powered ammunition. >> somebody needs to speak up and say something. people's children are dying for no reason. >> reporter: three others were wounded in the shootout. police believe two rival groups may have taken a turf war to the streets. one suspect had an ak-47, sending bullets flying into homes and bedrooms. >> over here -- >> reporter: julian williams was nearly caught in the crossfire. >> almost penetrated the brick. a big hole. looks like it was a rifle.

>> reporter: police are now searching for a new model mercury mountain ee the suspects were caught on video leaving the scene. but many on this block now worry they'll come back. >> who's selling these guns to these young people out here. it doesn't make no accepts. this is not a military -- >> reporter: earlier this week, a 6-year-old girl was also hit by stray gunfire. police will be using ballistic evidence to try to figure out if the two cases are connected. meantime, we're expecting a vigil and a protest at the scene of last night's shooting. that starts at 7:00. live at police headquarters, randy gyllenhaal, nbc 10 news. >> it makes you shake your head. donald trump continued his push for pennsylvania today. during a rally in erie, he tried to quash the latest controversy surrounding the comments he made linking president obama and isis. >> so i said, the founder of isis. obviously i'm being sarcastic. then -- but not that sarcastic, to be honest with you.

>> trump's drawing criticism from democrats for saying obama founded the extremist group. trump initially stood by those remarks but today is the first time he said he was actually kidding. trump has reason to focus on western pennsylvania. in the nbc "wall street journal" poll released this week, donald trump is trailing clinton by double digits in the area. as for clinton today, she released her 2015 tax returns. the clintons made $10.5 million. they paid 34.2% in taxes. the clintons have disclosed returns for every year since 1977. for vice presidential nominee tim kaine and his wife, they also released their returns. they paid more than 25.5% in taxes. donald trump has refused to release his returns, citing an ongoing audit. next at 6:00, back to rio, with jacqueline london, going one on five with the final five

gymnasts. plus, fans wanted wentz. what the eagles rookie said about his first game last night. and right now, let's check out the medal counts. you can look away from your tv if you don't want to see. 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!"

when you see the final five in competition, it's easy to think about whether they have enough time to enjoy the small pleasures in life with the weight of the world on their shoulders. and if they can enjoy the small pleasures. i was happy to learn today they do indeed. the best gymnastics team in the world. the final five now sporting their heavy hardware. i met up with team usa. the olympics all-around olympic champion who did it her way. coaches have gotten on you for chatting and giggling during practice. do you think that helps you,

though, your positive energy? >> i guess i have two golds, so you can't deny that it helps me. it's part of my personality. >> reporter: competitors, yes. friends, first. the youngest member of the final five, 16-year-old laurie hernandez from old bridge, new jersey. during competition the other night we saw you say, i've got this, to yourself. does that help you when you talk to yourself and just thinking so positively before you compete? >> yeah. i mean, right before i competed beam, it really hit me, that we were at the olympics and i got a little bit nervous. i kind of just needed to reassure myself and said, you can do it, you've got this. >> reporter: we heard that you love in wawa. >> yeah. >> she told us. >> reporter: really? you've been talking about it? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: no wawa in rio. are you anxious to get back? >> i'm definitely excited to go back and sneak in a hoagie. >> reporter: but for now,

athletes who are enjoying this time in the spotlight here in rio. after winning a gold medal for her part in the 4 by 200 relay, rongy tweeted out pictures of her with an actor, matthew mcconaughey and his wife, and also a picture with leslie jones. coming up tonight at 7:30 on "olympic zone," we talk to the weightlifter and his new diet. and back here live in rio de janeiro, we know that it is very warm, there is a heat wave going on there in philadelphia. here it is winter, which means it's in the mid-70s. but i know there are warnings back home. >> sheena is back here with me, jackie. but the smiles from the final five, they warm me up. it feels good. >> and lucky for jacqueline getting to hang out with them for a minute. that's awesome. >> a lot of fun. >> she's right, it is winter in

south america. in the southern hemisphere basically. they have the opposite seasons that we do. we're in a very different weather pattern than the nice weather they're dealing with. we have heat, we have storms. this is a live look. we have the storms that moved through earlier. they quickly fell apart and weakened. we're still dealing with rain around the area, but we don't have the strong storms that we had earlier. that's the good news if you're heading out this weekend. later tonight we could still see a few more storms moving in south of philadelphia especially. but aside from that, we still have the first alert out with the heat. dangerous heat for philadelphia, pennsylvania suburbs, new jersey and delaware. that's going to run through sunday. if you look at the seven-day at the bottom of your screen, the days outlined in red, that is for the first alert with the dangerous heat. very hot and humid. feeling like anywhere from 100 to 110 degrees. here's a look at the temperatures outside right now. we have rain-cooled air for the pennsylvania suburbs, with the storms that moved through earlier. 81 there. 91 philadelphia. low 90s for wilmington.

along the shore, a lot of people at the shore today. some saying that it is very hot, which it certainly is. cape may courthouse 88 degrees. ocean city 82. atlantic city. when you factor in the humidity, it feels even hotter. atlantic city feels like 102 degrees right now. because it's so humid. dover feels like 116. vineland 107. wilmington feels like 104. philadelphia feeling near 100 degrees right now. but it felt hotter earlier today. we're in heat wave number five right now. today we got to 97 degrees in philadelphia. felt as holt as 108. tomorrow 98 degrees. for your saturday, feeling close to 110. sunday, 97, feeling like 106. the heat wave could even continue as we go into the start of next week. more like the low 90s, though. here's a look at the radar. this is where we're still seeing thunderstorm activity right over 295. we'll zoom in right over

willingboro. quite a bit of lightning and rain. it stretches down to morristown as well. that will slide mainly to the east. if you are in parts every burlington county, you'll see that one here too, soon. glen mills, chester county, and areas moving into delaware county as well. some light rain, yellow showing you the more moderate rainfall right near edgemont. in the philadelphia area, we have some light rain falling right around the philadelphia area. but up towards mercer county, that's where we also have some fairly steady light rain. heavier rain in other parts of new jersey. now, temperatures for tomorrow, to start off your weekend, we're looking at the mid to upper 90s. feeling more like 100 to 110 degrees. so your weekend going to be very hot again with a chance for thunderstorms depending which neighborhood you live in. we're also talking about showers still around for your friday afternoon. krystal klei is in mercer county tonight looking at our brand-new

radar on wheels, storm ranger 10. >> reporter: we're inside storm ranger 10 right now. i want to show you the truck right behind me. that's the radar i've been checking while inside the truck. also staying inside, because we've got lightning still in the vicinity here in west windsor township. let's look directly in front of our vehicle here. this is kind of a north-northeast view. you can actually see some of the clouds clearing. but if we shift to the 360-degree camera where we can move around and get the view from the top of our truck, you can see we still have very dark clouds out there, steady rain at times. pockets of heavier rain as sheena said still popping up around our area. that looks like it's going to just miss west windsor township which is good news. because they've got the concert that just started around 6:00. we'll have storm ranger tracking the activity as we move into the evening. live in mercer county, krystal klei, nbc 10. and i'm john clark. up next, the phillies send down
