thousands stopped, stood still and put the gaze to the sky for a moment. >> we are excited to be here and such a once in a lifetime experience almost. i was 8 months old last time in happened. >> reporter: she brought her two children. filters telescope or sun spotter, families waited and watched in wonderment together. >> science and mother nature did a lot of work for us getting it timed out with the sun and the moon and the earth. >> reporter: for free outside. >> i expected to slowly get dark and then get cooler and then everybody will say, oh, ah. >> reporter: inside the fels planetarium, a live stream. people with a front row seat with nasa. did you get chills? >> yes. i took like a thousand pictures. >> reporter: crowds cheered. >> we'll see a crescent sun. >> my favorite part probably is when it almost like a rainbow one part. a bunch of different colors. >> reporter: the extra special

south carolina. you can see on the video and the corner, as well, what it looked like here in philadelphia. if you didn't look outside. now let's explain why we didn't see that total eclipse that some areas did see to our south. take a look at this map showing us the sun, the moon and the earth. takes a perfect lineup to occur and on top of that, the pinpoint shadow, something called the umbra moves across areas like the united states. everybody else on the outer fringe on the shadow and still get a partial eclipse an enthat partial shadow, think about the shadow on the ground you may look at outside. it is that more fuzzy edge. that's the penumbra and what we were under this time around. at 5:00, i'm gong to tell you when you can see the next solar eclipse in the united states and you can better yet when you can see the next complete total solar eclipse in our area. but that's at 5:00. for now, live here at

westchester university where the solar eclipse viewing party just wrapped up. >> how exciting was it for you to witness this science of this as a meteorologist? >> oh, guys, it was very exciting. we were driving out here when the max viewing hit, 2:44. my photographer john was driving so i was able to break the babies out and look up at the sky and i definitely nerded out. john's probably agreeing by the camera right now. it was a very cool experience. it's something that you really don't get to experience often in your lifetime and more amazing experience for those in the path of totality. really, just something that i think not only weather nerds but everyone as a whole pretty excited about. >> we were all nerds together today. there's nothing wrong with that. it was really cool. thanks so much for your insight. now, even though we weren't in the path of the total eclipse people found plenty of ways to celebrate the e. >> they did, in pennsylvania,

easton with a safe place to watch this afternoon's eclipse. they streamed nasa's live feed and offered eclipse-themed crafts. kids didn't need the glasses and did get to make some or create their own retractable telescope. >> it is like -- >> new jersey in awe inspiring day for the kids in camden county. families came out to the bellmar branch library. the event thanks in part to the nasa at my library program. >> the next time for an eclipse in 2024. so gives people a chance to learn about it and maybe remember it for the next one. >> before heading out to watch, families learned more about the science of a solar eclipse. in delaware, people waited in long lines outside the delaware museum of natural history for the all-important eclipse glasses. hosting a day long party to celebrate the historic event and

course, what's going on tomorrow. but this picture, this is what we call visible satellite picture and you notice all disappears in the middle of that. that's when eclipse happened because the sun was blocked and couldn't show you the clouds. at least for a little while. but now it's working again. and the radar's working and it's showing a couple of showers and thunderstorms near harrisburg and williamsport. this one near baltimore is weird. lightning not moving very much and the storm is and weakening as it moves to the east so we'll keep an eye on that this afternoon. more serious weather coming in tomorrow. we've got extreme feels like temperatures coming from philadelphia southward. includes south jersey and delaware, not the beaches. from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. tomorrow and the temperature itself in the mid-90s but the high humidity making it feel like 100 to 105. in parts of the area. another part of the area, having

scientists can predict things that precisely? that far in advance. i'm going to buffalo in seven years by the way. all right? we have a first alert out. two first alerts. one of them for philadelphia, south jersey and delaware. this is for the extreme heat and humidity that it's only for a few hours tomorrow but it's going to be 95, feeling like 100 or higher. we also have first alert for severe storms that come later for lehigh valley, berks and p.a. suburbs and philadelphia. later tomorrow night. so the worst of those storms tomorrow will be in western pennsylvania. the timing may help us a bit but we could see damaging winds in some of those parts of pennsylvania. 84 and cloudy now. sweating the clouds with the eclipse and some places getting a lot more sunshine than others. but everybody -- so the temperature drop a couple of degrees as the eclipse was going on.

the ocean, 75. got a wind off the ocean so it's nice and comfortable day at the shore but fair amount of clouds as you can see there. at least in parts of the area. these storms are not moving. unfortunately for baltimore, it's flooding there because the storm hasn't moved. so this is way ahead of the next system. we have nothing to do with the thing coming in tomorrow. this is what we've got to deal with. and as that comes in, with the heat of the day, then we got issues. the feels like tomorrow, look at that. close to 100. philadelphia, 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. not quite as high north and west and why i don't have the first alert out for those areas. but for northern delaware, that's where it's worst. parts of south jersey, 100 to 105 at the peak. these are just hourly temperatures. it will be worse in between. here's the future cast for tonight. just isolated showers and then as we go in to tomorrow, nothing in the morning. and then with the heat and

humidity of the day, and the cold front coming, that's when the thunderstorms come in. this is mostly overnight tomorrow night and into wednesday morning. and then, boy, do we have some beautiful weather but the feels like temperature, that's going to be the big issue tonight, not too bad. but by tomorrow afternoon, we're talking about temperatures feeling like they're over 100. by wednesday, nice and comfortable again. >> all right. glenn, a lot of people stepped away from work to witness the eclipse excitement today. >> long lunch breaks and maybe two hours laterment some workplaces lost out on productivity, others cashed in. the business boom for the big event. also, what a catch! nbc 10 talks with the chester county baseball player who grabbed that fly ball right there over the fence at the world championships. plus this.

it's hard to see but this is the scene as darkness fell inside the football stadium at southern illinois university. thousands gathered to watch today's total solar eclipse. carbondale, illinois, had one of the longest durations of total dark bs at about two minutes and 38 seconds. you can hear the cheers. america was expected to lose nearly $700 million in productivity from the people witnessing history this afternoon. >> but it's big business for some people. at least one restaurant there was thinking ahead. >> reporter: they were. they partnered with the liquor supplier and if you came in, stayed for lunch and looked up, you got a free pair of glasses, just order a margarita. >> waiting since 11:30. >> reporter: drinking a lot of tequila to pass the time? >> i have. >> he has. >> reporter: i haven't started yet. >> hopefully we'll make it.

>> reporter: first in line and for their patience, a free cocktail and two glasses to view. >> we won't be around for the next one. >> reporter: on a norm almond, maybe lunch drop-ins and after work but today -- you drove down 422? >> correct. >> to come here? >> yes. frenchie told us to. >> reporter: you couldn't get the glasses and run. lunch crowd needed to eat and drink an eclipse specialty drink. >> fun. the glasses and go? no. you have a little bit of a margarita in there and then enjoy the eclipse and then i don't think you want to go back to work. >> reporter: the requirement of margarita, only happy to oblige. >> i made sure that they had the glasses and they said that original first bunch of reservations with the glasses included. >> the last one in u.s. 1918. i think next is 2024. >> reporter: as drinks consumed, the crowd checked the view. >> oh my golly!

unbelievable! >> looks like -- like -- like took a bite out of a cookie. >> cool. >> reporter: apparently it was well worth the drive to come to here to enjoy the eclipse. reporting live, deanna durante. camden county, keeping it cool and checking out the eclipse. a special viewing party at the pool. and to stay on theme, members enjoyed some moon pies and sun chips while they watched. if you couldn't help yourself today and you looked at the eclipse without these special glasses, you might feel the effects later. we spoke with the experts at wills eye hospital saying you might not notice damage right now but that doesn't mean you weren't impacted. >> the damage from the solar eclipse is going to be much more subtle and it won't show up for at least six to 12 hours if not longer to 24. so initially, if you look up and you get a little more exposure

than you should, you get temporary loss of vision and should recover and more permanent damage to be worried about won't show up for a day or so. >> and if that's the case, you should see a doctor. we have complete coverage of the eclipse excitement for you right now on the nbc 10 app the find photos of the eclipse from here in philadelphia and also from around the world. nbc 10 first alert weather tracking the chance for an isolated thunderstorm this afternoon. you can see some of the small pockets of rain on first alert radar and the bigger concern is for tomorrow with the temperatures that will feel close to triple digits. >> here we go again, right? glenn "hurricane" swartz back with more on the increase in the heat and the humidity, glenn? >> a couple things different tomorrow. we are not seeing the cloud cover like we see now and we are also not going to have an eclipse in the middle of the day to push the temperature down three degrees. so it's going to keep going up after 2:00 like it didn't today. a lot of blue up in the lehigh valley.

easton. some places with sunshine. others having clouds. but there's little if any rain threatening the area. one little shower may come into new castle county, another shower in kent county but the big thunderstorm is just been sitting right over baltimore. and they've been getting some flooding out of that. and of course, if it's not moving it is not threatening us. it's just dumping on them. we have two first alerts out for tomorrow. one for the combination of temperature and humidity. this is for philly, south jersey and delaware. southern parts of the area except for the beaches. in the middle of the afternoon until 6:00 p.m. feeling like 100 to 105. very high humidity again tomorrow. and then, after that, we look to the north and west. pennsylvania counties for the thunderstorms. potentially severe. that's starting at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow to 2:00 a.m. so the

timing more favorable for central and western pennsylvania than for our area to get the severe storms but there's still a possibility that they could linger to that point. now, as we go through the night tonight, you see that it stays very, very warm. a low temperature 75 tomorrow morning. that's a sign of things to come. really steamy. more on that and the changes coming after that. >> all right, glenn. here's a look at the other stories following county by county. police in delaware county investigating an atv crash that killed two riders happening near the intersection of 10th and lamonkan street. see the atvs at the scene. we are working to get information on the ages and identities of the victims. going to montgomery county, new stores, restaurants and luxury living coming. part of a $100 million project to revitalize the corridor. they're all being transformed

into mixed use properties featuring residential units, retail and public gathering spaces. governor tom wolf on a walking tour with the west redding community revitalization project and focused on the work in the community. the department of community and economic development invested in the area in the hopes of attracting young professionals. it was the concern among many pregnant women at this time last summer. >> and new evidence about the zika virus is not calming the fears any time soon. how it can compromise the immune systems in pregnancy. putting babies at risk. plus, a special kind of clothing just in time for back to school shopping. new fashion line catering to children with special needs. tv troubles for a jersey viewer. his mom's tv stopped working a month after the warranty expired. what harry hairston says you should do if this happens to you.

new evidence today about why the zika virus is so dangerous for pregnant women. scientists say it attacks the immune system of the expectant mothers similar to hiv. the virus is then able to spread and increase the chances of harm to an unborn baby. because pregnant women's immune systems are already weakened, they're more prone to infection. it's been recommended for years and years but a new study shows fewer than half of parents always put their babies on their backs to go to sleep. researchers at yale found more than half of moms sometimes place infants on their stomachs or their sides which you should not do. and that's increasing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. the study shows women with little education are more likely to use the stomach position. uncomfortable conditions making the return. we are talking temperatures with the humidity making it feel like triple digits. more on the heat and humidity and whether we'll stay dry for

the rest of the week in the most accurate weather forecast. ahead at 5:00, no one likes being bumped from the flight or being stuck on the tarmac for hours. well now, the new push to help you get better treatment when you fly.

when you think about high blood pressure, you don't associate it with children. >> but now doctors say more kids and teens likely diagnosed with high blood pressure with guidelines from the country's leading pediatricians. new guidelines say all children over the age of 3 should have their blood pressure checked. the guidelines also offered doctors tools to better evaluate high blood pressure in kids. sometimes it's no symptoms and one teenager says high blood pressure left her feeling stressed and emotionally drained. >> it was scary because honestly after like a -- so long of being

told there's nothing wrong with you and that they don't know what's wrong with you, you thinking you're psycho. >> tonight on "nightly news with lester holt," the questions parents should be asking their ped trirns here at 6:00. target launched a line of sensory friendly kids clothes catering to children with special needs. the apparel is items with heat transferred labels instead of tags. also, flat seams and one dimensional graphic tees. in a blog post, target says the selections are all designed to minimize discomfort in contact with a child's skin and target says from $4.50 to $7. this weekend, we cleared the shelters. >> we could not have done it without all of you. nearly 50 local shelters waved adoption fees on sunday. since we kicked off the campaign three weeks ago, more than 4,800 pets have been adopted and on

saturday alone more than 1,400 petds adopted. so we want to see you with your new pets. when you post your pictures to social media, just use #clear the shelters. and we'll share them, as well. so great. >> a good turnout. >> cats, dogs, hamsters. lots of new friends. everybody's home. look at that to right there. i found my forever home. >> so cute. >> see the picture of keith with the cat climbing all over him. >> jessica, too. >> they did a great job out there. glenn? >> yes? >> any pets in your household? >> no. >> allergies, right? >> yeah. allergies. >> yeah, yeah, why. >> i can't go outside either. allergic to grass. >> oh boy. >> no! >> yeah. >> a weatherman can't go outside? >> we have extreme heat here. remember, they wear fur coats already. this is for the southern half of our area. we have south jersey, del care, philadelphia, 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on tuesday.

temperatures to the mid-90s. very high humidity and the combination's going to make it feel like 100 to 105. now, the other part of the area, the northern parts of pennsylvania counties, the first alert for potentially severe thunderstorms. that starts later tomorrow evening and then overnight so that it's going to take a while and by the time those storms get closer to the shore would be in the middle of the night and so they'd be most likely to be weakening. but before that time, there is the potential for some damaging winds. so we'll follow those for you tomorrow. 84 and cloudy skies right now. mid 80s across the area. the temperature went down about three degrees from the high temperature to what happened after the eclipse, just imagine how much it would cool off with a total eclipse. and northern delaware, we're down to 81 and talliville. 84 in newark and 84 in

middletown. to the south, 85 in lewis and all of these areas should be in the 90s tomorrow. thunderstorms, you know, the our west but not really moving all the way to our area so going to have to wait for tomorrow for the most part. there's a lot more activity as you can see in indiana and then back into wisconsin. that's going to feel like it's at least into the upper 90s if not 100. at the peak tomorrow afternoon. in philadelphia. not quite as extreme in p.a. suburbs. lehigh valley. why i don't have the first alert out for those areas. delaware, the most uncomfortable place and south jersey, also. to 100 or a little bit above in the afternoon. also, some thunderstorms, just some scattered ones this evening. as you can see on the futurecast and then tomorrow most of the day is dry. while the sun will allow the

temperature to go up and then the thunderstorms come in later. you see that? 11:00 tomorrow night. that line of thunderstorms, that could be the one that produces the strong, gusty winds. and the high temperatures over the next several days, look what happens. it really cools down later in the week but we also get a whole lot of sunshine. flipping out for a fly ball. next at 4:00, nbc 10 talks with the baseball player who made quite a catch at the world championship. >> can't get enough of this. observing the solar eclipse at 5:00, how the visual impaired in the area shared in this historic event.
