at last check he was listed in critical condition. investigators were interviewing a person of interest. meanwhile the blue martini is back open for business. central detectives returned to the blue martini this afternoon. we went inside and spoke to a supervisor, who declined to go on camera. she tells us it happened so fast. early this morning just before the 2:00 a.m. closing time, there was an argument. but no one inside knew there was a stabbing until those involved spilled out onto the sidewalk. >> i heard screaming. >> reporter: investigators say the victim, a 33-year-old man, was stabbed in the neck. >> i went to my car -- >> reporter: the blue martini is a well-known upscale bar. the supervisor says there are always plenty of bouncers inside. >> yeah, absolutely i'm shocked. to me it's an isolated incident. it's just a shame that it puts a black eye on old city.

we'll talk about the threat of those pop-up showers for this afternoon or evening into the overnight hours. some localized ponding and some overnight fog. denise, back to you. wildfires continue to rage across parts of california. the strides firefighters are making as they work to contain the flames that forced thousands from their homes. and here's a live look at rio de janeiro. nbc 10 is keeping track of every olympic event. we're about to show you the latest medal count so look away from your television if you don't want to see it. we'll be right back. nbc 10's olympic medal count is locally sponsored by independence blue cross. live fearless.

making safety the number one priority. that was the mission of a class held in philadelphia today. nbc 10's randy gyllenhaal took a look at what workers are learning and why this training is now law. >> reporter: these new requirements come in response to the collapse back in 2013. every construction worker in the city must now complete ten hours of training before they can even set foot on a job. >> all these things we see every day. >> reporter: the 60-plus welders, electricians and construction workers woke up at sunrise, cramming into a small classroom. >> it actually is a hazard. >> reporter: taking advantage of a free ten-hour osha training class, how to stay safe on a construction job site. >> to give them awareness of all

the hazards associated with construction, including in demolition, falls, electrical hazards. and they were just highlighting it so they were aware of it. >> reporter: it's training like this that could have prevented the deadly market street collapse, a brick wall at a demolition site fell onto a crowded salvation army store killing six people and violating numerous safety regulations. >> that should have been presented. >> reporter: gary took the class today and said it's clear the market street job was unsafe. >> i would have stopped that job, okay. i would have put barricades around it. and i would have prevented that store from opening up. >> reporter: the mandatory training is just one change the city has made since the collapse. the deadline has already passed, so city inspectors are out strictly enforcing certification. instructors here say the takeaway is good planning, check your surroundings and safety first. >> so if you work your plan following the osha guidelines, you should not have any issues.

now your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> good evening, i'm meteorologist erika martin with a look at your weather. 88 degrees, southerly winds at 10 to 12 miles per hour. we do have one or two isolated showers moving on through. so for this evening, pop-up showers, one or two rounds of isolated thunderstorms. really not a major situation. a dry start to your sunday. however, we do have a stormy sunday evening and especially a stormy sunday night. and here's why. satellite/radar image picking up on those isolated showers due to a back door cold front moving in from the northeast. so a little unsettled for some this evening into tonight. however, the big story is tomorrow. there's a low-pressure system hanging right over the great lakes. that will continue to work its way across southern canada. here is your frontal boundary, it will continue to work its way eastward.

so the story goes as follows. it looks like we will start off dry tomorrow, some areas of patchy fog early tomorrow morning and severe weather especially after 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. notice those lightning strikes across parts of new york state and pennsylvania. the next three days look like this. unsettled for tomorrow, stormy certainly by the evening hours. monday and tuesday and in fact most of next week is going to be ideal. it doesn't look like the threat of showers return until friday, saturday possibly, but look at these temperatures. a lot more comfortable as well. overnight lows, especially higher up in elevation, looks like you could see some low 50s and upper 40s. so a lot cooler. and those dew points certainly much more comfortable. look at this trend here, a lot more pleasant by monday into tuesday show the good news is those showers and those thunderstorms will clear. overnight sunday into monday. but keep in mind it certainly will be very messy. right now at 6:00 p.m. we can see the threat of some showers

moving on through, everything clearing, and then by tomorrow morning we're tracking the threat of those showers and those isolated thunderstorms. so keep that in minds, especially for that afternoon and evening commute. i'm tell you, it's going to be messy. i wouldn't be surprised if we get one or two strong thunderstorms by tomorrow night. overnight lows for tonight mainly in the 60s. and your ten-day outlook looks pretty good overall, especially by monday. so strak tracking the threat of those showers and thunderstorms for tomorrow. then it looks like the pop-up showers will clear and we do have areas of patchy fog. look at this, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, not much else to talk about and again tracking the potential for some showers by later this week, but that's really far out. be sure you follow us on social media for more updates. denise, back to you. i'm marshall harris. the eagles back on the ground but does that include jordan matthew. plus we kel you when we might

and put 100% into it. >> the phillies head into last night series about the cardinals with a thought to catch st. louis in the wide card race. they were an out away. they appeared to have things under control. there was a game-tying home run of the then in the 11th, randall comes close this time off the base of the wall. the go ahead run would score and phillies lose it. this one stings just a little bit more. >> i was the most upset last night over any other game this year. i thought we had that game in the bag. you know, john mora has been so good for us. he made one bad pitch and they tied it up and we couldn't come back. >> jeremy hiellickson will be o the mound tonight. you can see the game on csn,

coverage starting at 6:30 with phillies pregame live. sixers training camp starts in less than six weeks. the big question is the status of joel embiid. >> physically, mentally, recent scans medically, everything is pointing in the right direction and we just have to be mindful of him. but he's doing good stuff. we're all excited to want to see him actually play in an nba game. >> like is he on track to play like in the preseason games? >> yes, he is, yeah, yeah. >> something sixers fans have been waiting to see. that's sports. denise, back to you. it's almost time for the kids to head back to school, but shopping can be expensive. the clorox company hosted a school supply giveaway in west philadelphia and more than a hundred parents and children showed up. the kids got backpacks killed

with notebooks, pens, pencils and folders and parents received cleaning supplies to help fight those germs that come with a new school year. >> i think it's a nice way to give back to the community and those less fortunate. there's a lot of people that came out today. i think it was a good thing. >> clorox also donated $10,000 to help teachers getting the supplies they need for classroom projects. erika martin with a quick check of the forecast. >> the big story is by tomorrow all that rain, that comfold fro headed our way so it looks like a sunday night washout but next week is ideal. sunshine for the entire workweek. >> and that's nbc 10 news for now. for all of us here, i'm denise na connie. we'll see you back here at 7:30.

david was proud to be an american soldier. and i know i'm prejudiced because he was my son, but i don't think he had a mean bone in his body. there is not a day that i don't think about david. when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage. "she was standing there, she had nothing to say..." if donald trump cannot respect a gold star family, then why would anyone in america think he would respect them. votevets is responsible for the content of this advertising.
