them. the affidavit on the case is sealed. from my dash cam all that's clear is from malcolm's house, he would pass her house. he was shot as he drove this stretch of baywatch road. >> this was a tragic case, extremely sad for the evans family. a bright young man, future cut short. >> reporter: police say jennings has a criminal record. a felony conviction shouldn't have allowed her to have a gun in the first place. tim furlong, nbc 10 news. over montgomery county, about an hour ago, as crews put out hot spots after a townhouse fire. this was the scene. several townhomes were damaged. but no one was hurt. a day of strange smells in cleaning up along one street of philadelphia's kensington section, g street between erie

else. lehigh valley, delaware, a lot of places in the low 90s. let's fatake a look at some of e p.a. suburbs. lehigh valley, 92 degrees at landon, 88 in reading, 98 in hopewell, 90 in allentown, 92 in bethlehem, and 90 in easton. those numbers in the lehigh valley and berks county, one of the areas that we focus on. well, focusing on looking at some clouds. we don't find very much. you won't find much in the entire state of pennsylvania. not much in ohio, either, as far as any kind of rain. so we don't have any threat of rain over the weekend, or into early next week. it's going to be hot, mainly dry all the way through the rest of the month. it will end up being the hottest august ever recorded. but next weekend, labor day

weekend, it's a different story. now, rain chances as we go through the weekend, virtually none. and creep up a little bit by wednesday. we've got maybe a 30% chance in philadelphia. at the jersey shore, not much of a chance through all those days as well. so it's a pretty good time to go ahead and wash your car. tonight we've got dry conditions p. it's not going to be as humid. so some of these readings are actually going to go down below 70 degrees. look at that. allentown, 64. quakertown 67. reading 65. it wasn't like that this morning. we had lows in the 70s across most of the area. there's proof that the humidity is down. tomorrow, temperatures get into the 90s, perhaps, again in philadelphia. but the humidity is lower. so it won't feel like 96 tomorrow.

and it may not even reach 90 in places like allentown, and quakertown. and that is just the beginning. now, in the tropics, we keep looking for a circulation with this thing. north of cuba. here in the bahamas. a lot of thunderstorms starting to develop. but not near where the center would be. that's what is needed for this thing to develop and to strengthen. now, if the remnants of it survive, going through the florida straits and going into the gulf of mexico, early next week, that's when there's a chance of a regeneration. over the next five days, we've got some pretty nice weather at the shore. it was in the 90s today. even at the beaches. not so over the weekend. a bit of a sea breeze. it's going to be warm. humidity not bad. just a beautiful weekend. just a beautiful weekend. and you can see we're in the 90s in philadelphia through the middle of the week.

chance of showers on wednesday, as the low temperatures start to go up. an indication of the humidity going up, okay? so there we are on wednesday. look what happens. by thursday and friday, by friday, a high of only 80 degrees with a low of 59, as we head into labor day weekend. so right now, that's the labor day weekend there. saturday, sunday, monday. it gets a little bit warmer as we head through the weekend. but again, it's a fairly dry pattern. >> some concerns for rip currents starting sunday. >> yeah. and it's related to gaston. the storm way, way out in the atlantic. it creates these waves. and it takes days, but eventually they come toward the east coast and can affect us. >> all right. glenn, thank you so much. nbc 10 needs your help spreading the word about free money to those making a difference in the community. and time is running out, by the
