generation of foster parents. >> we just need the help. we need the help. our young people need the help. >> reporter: her team is responsible for every step in the foster care process for 5,000 plus philly kids. the work has changed dramatically in recent years and after the child sex abuse case of jerry sandusky state laws were tightened and the number of calls to the child abuse hot line skyrocketed. >> we used to have about 21,000 calls to our hot line now we're up to 34,000. >> not all end up with a child in foster care. when they do, more than half of kids are placed with a relative and older youth like teenagers need homes too. most children end p reunifying about biological families but each year 600 are formally adomted by a new family. she says her department worked hard to keep up, placing abused

and neglected kids in foster care only when absolutely necessary. but the network of foster parents has been stretched thin. and now a new crop of willing adults is desperately needed to fill the gaps. the emphasis is on flexibility and diversity. you can't have a criminal or child abuse record but aside from that dhs wants all types, young and old, well off and working class and there's a special need for foster parents who could create an understanding environment for lgbt youth. >> there's myths out there. you do not have to be married to be a foster parent or own your own home to be a foster parent. we want you to just love the child. >> here's another live look at the news conference happening at city hall. you can see vai sikahema sitting there along with nbc president and general manager rick harris. coming up in the next half hour, we'll have a full live report on

this morning's announcement and tell you how you can help children in need. mark the calendars for thursday at 4:00 p.m. nbc 10 is hosting a phone bank to answer any questions you might have about becoming a foster family. >> well, we got through the wet weekend and we all expected and now we get to dry out but not all week. the sunshine is going to be returning some places already seeing a little bit of it but more and more later this afternoon. a terrific tuesday across the entire area and we've got a storm coming just as march starts and that comes in like a lion, going to be kind of lionish later this week. 49 degrees with cloudy skies in philadelphia now but we're starting to see some peaks of sunshine, especially lehigh valley, 45 degrees there. these temperatures are already above the average high for this

time of the year. and we're seeing temperatures getting close to 50 in northern delaware, wilmington is at 49 and harmony hills and glasgow, odessa, 49 and in central and southern delaware, we're seeing 50s. 50 in dover, bridgeville, milton, lincoln and 52 degrees in sell byville. so some of those areas are going to be going up significantly. now, as we're ending february, this is going to be one of the warmest februarys ever recorded and the record was last year. the warmest 2017 looks like we're targeting for about the third warmest with temperatures about six degrees above normal. and here we go with the rain. it's also been a very wet month. we don't need any more rain. we have echos on the radar not reaching the ground. to the west that's where the dry

air is that's starting to slowly move in from the west. it may take several hours to affect most parts of the area. as we go through the rest of the week, we've got this beautiful weather tomorrow. nice and sunny, but the next storm already showing up to the west, the moisture increasing as we go into wednesday and then it comes into the east. we've got a southerly flow here so we have warm enough air. this is -- this is going to be rain and it's coming in on thursday and watch the wind arrows. this is the key, coming way out of the east. that's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles of an ocean flow and that combined with the full moon coming, could lead to some coastal flooding. so that may be the biggest issue with this storm as we go into the end of the week, more on that coming up later. temperatures above normal for first three days of the week,

even get being into the 60s by wednesday. but after wednesday, things start going downhill and more on those numbers coming up. still ahead, airline uproar, plus a passenger goes to extreme lengths when he realizes he is on the wrong flight. hear what he did and trouble he's now in.

their families because of neglect or abuse. these are families or children who need nourishment and right now there's a serious campaign and effort to try and find placement for more of those children. they are asking people to get involved. a moment ago the council woman stood at the podium and in her own words made the same plea to the philadelphia community. >> we can't complain about the system about the state of our children, about the state of our city if we're not willing to step up and fix it. becoming a resource parent is a positive way to make our mark on the philadelphia children -- children of philadelphia and the city and those children will be better because of you. >> and so again, they are asking people who have maybe thought about it in the past, gave it some thought to give it more thought and take the time to learn more about what it means

to be a fost or resource parent. one thing that sometimes holds people back, they think they are single or might not qualify because they are not married. that's not the case. they are asking anyone, whether you're black, white, male, female or single or married. they want everyone to please consider being a foster resource parent and finding placement for so many children in philadelphia that need to be in loving homes. if that is you, don't waste any time in doing your own homework and looking into what it takes to actually become one of those parents. we're live at city hall, dray clark, nbc 10 news. >> and again, nbc 10 and telemundo 62 are teaming up with philadelphia's department of human services and setting up a phone bank on thursday at 4:00 p.m. we're going to answer any questions you might have about becoming a foster family. get your sunglasses ready. you're going to actually need them if you head outside today.

west, not reaching the ground but the clouds thinning out as we head to the west and completely clear back across the great lakes. and ohio valley and boy do they need to dry out and that dry air is headed this way. it's not going to last all week. that's for sure. here we are on wednesday. we do have dry air. we've got sunshine for tuesday. and then the clouds start to increase wednesday ahead of this next storm. coming in from the west as you can see, here's wednesday night, got southerly wind so the atmosphere is warm enough that it's rain. we see the snow way up in canada as the storm gets started. then we start seeing the winds coming in off the ocean. we also have a full moon on thursday which makes the tides high to begin with. when you get this east wind hour after hour after hour and couple days in a row and for hundreds and hundreds of miles we call

this a fetch coming from the east, that is going to pile the water up at the coast. there's going to be coastal flooding. still a little too early to tell if it's going to be minor or moderate but it does look like it's going to be significant. the other thing is the rain itself. the ground is wet and creeks and rivers are kind of high. we need this to keep moving and here we are thursday night and we still have that onshore wind and it's a gusty wind too and maybe we're getting a little bit of a wintry mix here in the poconos and maybe even snow by friday. this is mostly rain as you can see and it's not just a couple of hours of it either. it is going to be a nasty period. so enjoy the next couple of days. today we'll see a little sun later in the day. nothing but sunshine tomorrow and above normal temperatures for tuesday and wednesday all across the area but boy, are things going to be changing as

we head into the end of the week. thursday as we start march, rain, some of it on the heavy side. gusting winds and the coastal flooding, we have winds and rain even on friday, right now looks like it should be moving out by saturday but still have winds then too. we don't see any real bitter cold air in the 10-day forecast as well. we'll be right back.
