that's why we sent storm ranger close to the storms. we'll be back with the rest of the weekend forecast and the next week coming up. now to the breaking news. a s.w.a.t. situation just ended in west philadelphia. nbc 10's andrea cline-thomas is the first reporter on the scene there. andrea, what have you learned in the last five minutes? >> reporter: well, we just talked to the police commissioner who gave us an update on the situation. a hostage situation it's over right now. two people are in the hospital now. we're told they have nonlife-threatening injuries. this is the video we shot from sky force 10. the hostage situation involved four children. police are responding to a call they tell us about a woman who had a gunshot wound when they went into the house. a man shot at them. and that's what started the hostage situation. again, children were in the home. then we're told that a mother was in the house, the mother of the child was in the house. the man was in the basement,

suburbs, chester county, montgomery, and bucks. it's near 90 degrees in unionville, malvern 90, st. david's 88, warrington 90. and of course, the high humidity everywhere. no showers around the philadelphia area, or points to the south. we've had a few in the lehigh valley. and up in the poconos. and we didn't think that there were any in bucks county. here's bucks county. and you don't see anything. however, we sent storm ranger 10 down there. and this is the main ring of protection. so we're within 30 miles. and lo and behold, there are some showers in bucks county. this one is just north of north hampton. we showed you that a little while ago. this other one is right near trenton. look at that. and that's a pretty heavy shower.

totally undetected by the stationary radar system that exists right now. this shower is so small, the radar beam from the other radars, because it's so far away, is too wide to see the tiny showers. that's a heavy shower right over marsville. and we can show you the streets, too. where that shower is. and it's moving toward trenton. the weekend, well, part steamy, and then we're going to get some relief. 96 degrees tomorrow. close to a record. and then we drop, not only the temperature, but the humidity. so it drops about ten degrees everywhere, except at the jersey shore. we've got a sea breeze keeping things cooler on saturday and a land breeze keeping things warmer on sunday. the future feels-like, well, as we go through the night tonight, it's going to be another warm one. last night was the warmest september night ever recorded in philadelphia. it never got below 80.

tomorrow afternoon, it's going to feel like 101 in philadelphia. and trenton and burlington and swedesboro and wilmington. but not on sunday. no way. now, it could feel like it's in the mid to upper 80s. that's still kind of warm for football. but that's still nothing compared to what we're seeing on saturday. and fortunately, temple's got to play football. 96 degrees, feeling like 101. in south philly tomorrow afternoon. somerton 95. feeling like 101. phoenixville 92, feeling like 97. easton 93, feeling like 98. feeling like 100 in eastman township. not quite as bad at the shore. that's why people go to the shore. harrington, though, and delaware, 103. by the time the eagles get to play, we're going to be getting

clearing, the humidity's going to be going down during the game, as the temperature goes up to near 86 degrees for the afternoon. and as we go through the week, next week, we're going to be seeing lower temperatures, until wednesday, and then it really gets cooler after that. hi. i'm amy from csn. hear exclusively from carson wentz. and pat talks about allen iverson's enshrinement into the hall of fame. that's all next.

i'm amy from csn. the eagles open the 2017 season on sunday. with that, they usher in the carson wentz-doug pederson era. andy reed, they were always tied together with mcnabb. wests is the first rookie quarterback ever to start an eagles game in his first try. limited time to pick up the offense. bradford was traded last weekend. which meant wentz has taken all of the first team reps this week in practice. john clark asked wentz about the change. our exclusive conversation with wentz earlier today. >> it's been pretty busy. obviously -- which is normal, but getting the reps i missed out on was really big. but they've done really well. the reps have gone well. i'm really receptive to everything. i think we're looking good. all of us are ready to go. >> you can see much more of that conversation sunday morning at

9:30 a.m. on eagles game day kickoff right here on nbc 10. everyone wondering what the birds office will look like under the rookie. doug pederson was asked whether the game plan had similarities to what carson ran in college at north dakota state. >> it's funny, because really the offense that i brought is very geared to his strengths. play action pass movement, his ability to run, throw on the run, things like that. so there wasn't a lot of having to shift gears and sort of favor his strengths. everything that we've done, or i've done in the past really fits him and the type of quarterback that he is. let's check out the high school gridiron. lasalle at malvern prep. we'll have full highlights tonight at 11:00. allen iverson will be enshrined in the basketball hall of fame in a matter of hours. the most beloved athletes in the history of philadelphia and the memorable moments.

so many to think of. former sixers president will be in the audience tonight in springfield, massachusetts, and talked about the special occasion. >> i think today is so special. because it puts 20 years in closure. we selected him first pick 20 years ago. and allen iverson to me is someone who proves that size doesn't matter. that being authentic is cool. and that dreams really do come true. >> we'll have a full report from springfield coming up later at 11:00. we're right back after this. l security on the stock market... pat toomey wrote the book. "i'm...i've got a whole chapter in my book where i... specifically lay out how i think we should... reform social security." toomey's plan requires wall street and bankers to manage... the accounts. collecting fees out of your social security that could... total billions. fees they collect, even if the market crashes and... seniors lose everything.

pat toomey's looking out for wall street, not pennsylvania. dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. hillary clinton: i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. vo: in times of crisis america depends on steady leadership. donald trump: "knock the crap out of them, would you? seriously..."vo: clear thinking... donald trump: "i know more about isis than the generals do, believe me." vo: and calm judgment. donald trump: "and you can tell them to go fu_k themselves." vo: because all it takes is one wrong move.
