we spoke with pennsylvania delegates here on the floor and asked who they are most looking forward to hearing from. >> i think everyone is looking forward to hearing from the president and future vice president, tim kaine. >> what does this message need to be? >> i think we want to hear why hillary clinton is the right choice, we are looking for that unity season we are getting closer each day and i think tonight can go a long way. >> the message needs to be continues on sync with unity, we have seen what hillary has done throughout her entire career, her husband, our former president, bill clinton, delivered an incredible message that everyone can relate to, i think if they repeat that again and talk about her as a person, people can see why she is the obvious choice. >> it's clearly about unity, and a positive message. i don't know if you were here for the practice performances, what the world needs now is

love, and the whole different message that the democratic convention is giving that the republicans convention simply did not. >> reporter: delegates also looking forward to seeing some celebrities. angela basset, sigourney weaver and henry kravitz. this is about to get underway at any moment. >> note worthy speakers to say the least. thank you. people will be closely watching it's speech from hillary clinton's running mate, a chance for virginia senator, tim kaine, to introduce himself on a national stage. he walked through the wells fargo center and did a sound check at the podium and kaine spoke to the virginia delegates at their breakfast in philadelphia. is he proud to be second in command to hillary clinton on the democratic ticket. >> how many times have women stood to support male candidates and male presidents and been

rock solid in support of them. i think it's great for men to be able to stand and support strong women leaders across this nation. >> kaine also talked to delegates from florida and iowa earlier today. we are still awaiting the arrival of air force one, the president is expected to land in philadelphia at 9:45 tonight but vice president, joe biden, and his motorcade are already out and about in philadelphia today. the secret service blocked area around 13th this morning. vice president biden was at mcgillin's old ale house to meet with the pennsylvania delegation. meanwhile donald trump is drinking his campaign to pennsylvania holding a town hall in scranton but it was his news conference that raised a lot of eyebrows when trump said this. russia if are you listening i hope you able to find the 30,000

emails that are missing, i think he will probably be rewarded mightily by the press. lets see if that happens. that will be next. >> this comes amidst the swirling controversy that the russian government hacked into the democratic national committee in order to sway the election into trump's favor. he openly encouraged saying he liked it very much and would like to see hillary clinton's email. he denied involvement with the russian government and failed to release his tax documents. meanwhile protests across philadelphia touching it out in the heat to make their voices heard. bob brooks is live near the comcast center with more on those protests and that was one of the targets today bob. >> reporter: yes brian, things got tense at the comcast center,

so much so the protesters stormed inside of the building and lirnged themselveses to railings inside. as a result of that there are police all around the perimeter of the building, keep things safe for all protests today. and we are hearing from the commissioner of police they have been. >> one group of pro tests were able to beat the heat. but only for a few minutes. look at these pictures, they stormed inside of comcast center and zip tied themselves tos to railing. >> their message -- >> the media has nothing to say ♪ >> they were taken into custody and given citations and sent on their way. according to commissioner ross, their protest was passionate but peaceful. >> extremely, like the group out

here. then back to the protest line. >> we are demonstrating against comcast. we have strong convictions that the media has been polluting and cooperating with the manner in which the dnc has corrupted and stolen our democracy. not far away from the thomas paine plaza, feel the person continues. though he is not the democratic nominee, the black men for bernie says they are ready to continue the fight that the vermont senator started. >> we have thousands of people that put a lot of work in to put forth a progressive movement, so what this is, is a celebration of those efforts. >> reporter: back out live here, people are fired up and passionate and good to hear from the commissioner, so far things have been peaceful, and people well behaved. bob brooks, channel 6 "action news." >> all right bob thank you.

and those protesters were of course out there in extreme heat but ac weather says there is finally some relief on the way. lets check in with meteorologist, adam joseph, live outside of the wells fargo center with a first look at the forecast today. >> reporter: yes, that relief is a little bit of a drop in humidity here this afternoon. but being outside here on the grounds of the wells fargo center it feels hotter today than it did yesterday despite that is not the case, because there is less of a breeze, you are not breathing as well, so spoke speak. it's in the 92 in allentown and 90 in wilmington but the shore with the wind coming in at the shore. 80 cape may and 83 at the atlantic city airport. factor into it's humidity it's fairly low and the 92 in philadelphia only feels like 93, it's basically the same and 91 in reading and 100 in dover and more humid down to the south and cape may 85 degrees is the

current heat index. it drops there and there are storms that pass through and most of them are off the coast, stormtracker 6 live double scan. there is an another flair up in fortescue, heading towards sea isle city, that got hammered a short time ago as the flooding rains passed by. one more corscorchers of a day tomorrow with a round of heavy storms coming through tomorrow after into tomorrow night and over the weekend 50/50 one day is better than the other and a flash flood watch is issued for most of our area, this goes into effect tomorrow evening and lasts into friday and we could see flooding downpours with -- 2 to 3 inches of rain. we'll have the full accuweather forecast coming up. >> thank you. brand new video here from just within the last half hour, as hillary clinton officially touched down in philadelphia,

she will officially accept the democratic nomination for president in just more than 24 hours. just one of the story lines we are following here at the democratic national convention, it's widely assumed they will make an appearance here tonight. today is a rather tough day, the toughest yet to get around the city of philadelphia because of the traffic restrictions and the motorcade like the one we are showing you. the arrival of president obama will result in more closures. matt pellman is live in the traffic center with the details. >> reporter: it started early this morning, and then motorcade after motorcade after motorcade today. no motorcades now for the afternoon rush and the protesters are mostly on the local city streets, the more major arteries like broad street and local vine are open, unlikeied afternoon. vine street expressway

underneath all open and at this point traffic is not moving terribly. eastbound approaching 95 you have the check point and vehicles over 5 tons don't get on the southbound side of 95, the two check points on 95 are causing delays one again this afternoon. hopefully are you used to that by now. and all the big, heavy vehicles are detoured over here to the platt bridge where a vehicle broke down in the eastbound lanes coming away from 95. both lanes open heading towards 26 and street. tacony palmyra bridge is open for a ship, and expect an open at the burlington bristol bridge in just a bit. and a crash on 73 southbound at 295 causing slowing there. lets grab the ipad and do the commuter report on this hump day.

we welcome you back to the wells fargo center in south philadelphia. here is a live look at the stage where tonight president barack obama will headline a prominent list of speakers that includes vice president biden and vice presidential hopeful, tim kaine. this convention has the highest number of lgbt delegates in history, so perhaps it's history that a local group use sd the dnc as a backdrop for a new monments.

the philadelphia conference historical marker was unveiled today at the art street meeting house. the marker designated where 300 activists from around the country met in 1979 to organize the national march on washington for gay rights. and academy award winner, dustin black was on hand to mark the occasion today. we are giving you a chance to express your freedom of speech for the 2016 election, we set up a national soap box where anyone and everyone can step up to the microphone. >> we need more candidates in the democratic party, there needs to be more options, because picking between two lesser evils is still picking evil. >> i think it's one of the biggest elections in my life, and i am happy to be a part of it, i think the millennials

bring a perspective. >> not happy with the republican candidate for president, he is kind of nuts, the t-shirt says it all. >> we'll continue the social soap box today and tomorrow, find the "action news" crew at the national constitution center to make your voice heard, we may share it on air and on our facebook page as well. the famous 4th street deli getting ready to debate your position, we'll show you the world your thoughts on our facebook page and here on "action news." today nydia han is at the famous 4th street deli and we check in with her at 4:30 and we'll take you inside of the pennsylvania delegation breakfast and show you how delegateses spent the day but first lets send it back to the studio and alicia vitarelli. >> hi guys, whether you are escaping the crowds it's a great

day to be at the shore. erin o'hearn is live in atlantic city. there is no better time than now for a break on the beach. i'm jealous, you wants to switch spots here? >> alicia it's still pretty hot down here especially on the boardwalk but the farther away you move from the convention the cooler it gets and we are not just talking temperatures. >> normally we go into the city for something, forget it's too crowded and too crazy. >> the end of july is normally when the heat starts to sizzle and beaches start to crowd. >> it was so hot, the heat index was 106. we wanted to be at the beach. even though we have water parks in the poconos you can't beat the beach. >> the cape may department of tourism is calling 2016 a perfect storm to drive people to the shore, the heat and the heated political convention. >> traffic was heavy coming in

through philly. >> the tourist department made their marketing efforts to show that the jersey cape is the perfect spot. >> people are taking the long weekends and they are calling their bosses and trying to get days off to not have to go back to the city. >> most here planned vacations and booked rentals months ago, hotels around atlantic city have plenty of rooms for the last minute get-aways. but businesses on the boardwalk say the extreme heat may drop beach goers but not necessarily customers. >> hot on the beach but not necessarily on the boardwalk. >> the tourism department says the uptick in business over the past week is due to the heat but they are pushing a big digital and social media campaign to try to get delegates to extend their stay and perhaps visit the jersey shore after the convenience is over so we may

see even a bigger crowd this weekend. we are live along the atlantic city boardwalk. >> thank you. well, it's cooler at the shore here in the city we are dealing with yet another day in this extended heat wave, we'll go back to meteorologist, adam joseph, outside of wells fargo center in south philadelphia. where adam you say it's feeling hotter than yesterday although technically it's not. >> the humidity has dropped since yesterday and we don't have as strong as a breeze as yesterday. it's stifling standing here kicking in a bit now, it kind of helps to dry you out so to speak. the numbers now it's hot everywhere around the delaware valley. a little cooler there, with the sea breeze and storms that pass through. 83 at cape may point and 87 in millville and dover, and 92 philadelphia and 91 in reading and 91 in allentown and day six with temperatures of 90 or

above. talk about the july heat, we felt it this particular year. the hottest temperature twice over was 97 degrees we had three heat waves this month and 14 days of 90 or above where the average is typically 11 we'll add another at least one day this week to that total. it's active to the south once again and that boundary is draped south of pittsburgh and charleston, west virginia, and roanoke and richmond with the eruption of downpours and thunderstorms, most of this is to the south with the exception of the shore and it will lift to the north here as we go into tomorrow afternoon into friday morning. tonight it's partly cloudy and warm and humid, 66 in allentown unreading, 76 in philadelphia and millville. as we track the heat tomorrow, you combine the temperature and humidity, you'll see between noon and 2:00 we peak between 96 and 97 degrees and the human

peaks tomorrow and that gets us into trouble with downpours and storms. you can see the eruption of the downpours and thunderstorms, it even be here where i'm standing tomorrow we could see up to 1 to 3 inches of rainfall, they are hit or miss and then more organized thursday night into friday morning. we have a risk for severe storms especially south of philadelphia and southern parts of delaware and the shore communities during the day tomorrow and the biggest threat is strong winds with the flooding downpours. your four day at 4:00, steamy with storms and afternoon storms developing tomorrow of 93 degrees, unsettled especially the first part of the day on friday with the flash flood warning in effect at 95 and sun here on saturday and 87 and showers and storms developing again, an active sunday with your temperature of 84 degrees, alicia as we get into this time tomorrow it may not be as sunny

and bright as it is here now, we'll continue to track those. >> thanks adam. we'll take any relief we can. the big question, is the dnc really giving local businesses a boost. we'll check in with john rawlins live for the answer. and he tried to assassinate ronald reagan but why a judge released john hinckley jr. today. i'm hillary clinton and i approved this message. who do you talk to for military advice right now? well, i watch the shows. i mean i really see a lot of great - you know,

when you watch your show and all of the other shows... while donald trump watched tv, as secretary of state, hillary clinton negotiated a cease fire in gaza. a reduction in nuclear weapons... took on vladimir putin... and stood up against the trafficking of human beings. a steady leader in an unsteady world. when you have type 2 diabetes, like me, hi, i'm dominique wilkins. there's a moment of truth.

and with victoza®, a better moment of proof. victoza® lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill, which didn't get me to my goal. victoza® works with your body to lower blood sugar in three ways-- in the stomach, the liver and the pancreas. and while it isn't for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. non-insulin victoza® comes in a pen and is taken once a day. (announcer) victoza® is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or if you develop any allergic symptoms including itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so, stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away

if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. now's the time for a better moment of proof. ask your doctor about victoza®. a 39-year-old man is accused of having sexual contact with two of his former students at springfield middle school. police say he met the 14 and 15-year-old girls when he was a social studies teacher. investigators say he had sexual contact with the girls in his car and at the girl's homes. he was arraigned on a list of charges including felony sexual assault and they say the school

district has been cooperative. the man accused of trying to kill ronald reagan is release today. john hinckley jr. is said to be able to leave a mental institution. he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. hinckley is now 61 years old and doctors said for years he is no longer a danger to society. he is spending 17 days each year living in his mother's home in virginia. still to come on "action news," we checked in with local businesses to see how they were doing with the convention in town, we'll have answers after the break.

it's 4:30 and our live coverage from the democratic national convention continues from the wells fargo center. >> hillary clinton is in philadelphia and arrived about an hour ago. this is video of mrs. clinton at the airport. no word if she is headed to the wells fargo center or making stops somewhere else. meanwhile delegates are about to make virginia senator, tim kaine, the vice presidential nominee. we heard a rousing rendition of the star spangled banner here. that is congresswoman fudge the official chair getting things

under way. the convention gavelled in 5 or 10 minutes ago. tim kaine will be nominated by bobby scott and then a motion to suspend the rules and have an up or down voice vote. that should happen quickly probably within the next few minutes. later this evening kaine will address the convenience and the stage will be busy with high-profile speakers, include joe biden and his wife jill biden and president barack obama will take the stage. >> air force one will touch down later tonight and is expected to speak at 10:00 p.m. to rally the party around hillary clinton. >> it turns out that some biggss are not getting the big boost that they were hoping for. delegates are going to local

businesses, bars and hotel. some are doing better than others, john rawlins is live in philadelphia with the details. >> reporter: hi guys, last week we roamed center city asked people about their expectations, when 50,000 people come calling and spending for the dnc. now halfway through we came back to see what is hatching so far. >> last week kevin's terminal bakery was gearing up for more sales with you it has been slow. >> 75% to 80% of a normal week. so down. >> around the corner at dinics it's been an okay but not stellar week. >> it's been a decent week better than your average mid summer week but not a 50,000 person convention kind of week. >> at chris's jazz club.

the hope was good food and jazz will attract the people. >> they enjoy the lunches but for the evenings not that much yet but good week so far for brew on chestnut. now they prepare for a private event for millennials. and business has been way up. >> i will guess that this week will probably be maybe a 100% increase than what we would have done white house the dnc here. >> gridlock is a factor. moving around is tough. >> somewhere you can go in five minutes, takes you 20 or 30 minutes. >> new this convention of course is uber. it's a lucrative couple of days. >> i start in king of prussia, valley forge. you start-up there in the morning. because a lot of delegates don't have transportation to come

down. >> uber, one organization is saying is having a good convention. the demand for uber rides up 60%. john rawlins, channel 6 "action news." >> all right john thank you. we want to take a live look down on the convention floor where just moments ago tim kaine from virginia was officially nominated as the vice president to run on this democratic ticket with hillary clinton. it came by voice vote as was expected. congresswoman fudge asking yes or no, a notable nay presents, the ongoing presence of the bernie sanders supporters that oppose the nomination of both hillary clinton and tim kaine. but tim kaine as of this moment officially the nominee for vice president of the democratic party. and now a check of the accuweather forecast. it's a hot day but days of all

of this heat, the cement and buildings make it feel worse. >> it feels hot no matter what they say. >> reporter: i was in your studio, it's freezing in there, and i'm sweltering out here. that is not fair. all right -- as we take a look out here, we are back in the 90s for another day and the sunshine is in control but the humidity has dropped a little bit from yesterday. the present dew points again in the 60s slightly humid and 70s oppressive and tropical. all of that is pushed down to richmond and 74 is your dew point and 65 in washington and 64 in philadelphia. and if we could only tap into binghamton at 55 degrees. as we look at the present heat index it feels like 95 in philadelphia and 89 in new york city and 96 in washington and richmond 100 degrees. stormtracker 6 live double scan will show it's active in western

virginia and west virginia back to the tennessee valley and parts of kentucky, this is along a boundary, you see the orange popping on some of these storms, that is severe and this lifts to the north here tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night and friday morning. because of that and with the extreme humidity returning again a flash flood watch is in effect from tomorrow evening into friday evening, where we could have heavy hitters. not only the possibility of strong winds but flooding rainfall of 1 to 3 inches in a short amount of time. so it's quiet around here tomorrow but the last day of the dnc especially for the folks outside in the media tents behind me, they may be inundated with heavy rain like it began on monday. we'll chat more about that in the seven-day forecast. coming up in just a little bit. >> okay adam thank you. >> all week long we have been mentioning we are inviting you our "action news" viewers to be part of this event.

we host a debate and conversation at the 4th street deli in queen village. that is where we find nydia han. >> reporter: hey guys we have hosted a number of lively spirited debates today and streaming them live on facebook one involved two young first time voters, both central high school graduates and they both say the big issues for them are national security and education but some of their views die verge from there. >> naton appreciates hillary clinton's experience and temperments and his vote is for her. >> with hillary she will take the time and patience without compromising anything. >> elaine chen will not reveal who she is voting but appreciates donald trump's honesty. >> i know that is his character and not lying to me. but it makes people feel confident that they are not voting wrong if they feel that

is his true personality. >> he says what is literally on his mind and that is dangerous and conducting himself and perspective on many issues, it's absolutist. you need to be flexible. >> chen credits the comments to more young people being engaged. >> he spoke of immigration, people didn't think that immigration, young people like me didn't think that was such a big issue, what we see from what he says i feel like the young people can see that is an issue. >> one thing these first time voters agree on more of their peers need to get out and vote and politics impact us every day. >> walk through your daily life, how do you get to work? who is fixing that stop sign that fell down at the end of the street? who is deciding how we spend

money for schools? >> reporter: so many reasons to get involved and make your voice count. elaine chen mentioned immigration, in just two hours coming up we'll tackle that for our next 4th street face-off and we'll stream it live on facebook. following us on our facebook page and my facebook page post your comments and questions. >> so many great and important conversations happening there thank you. any time you want to know the latest on what is happening inside or outside the election, turn to "action news" social media accounts, our facebook page is filled with the politics and protests and the fun of all of this. we are there to interact with you and the twitter feed is up to breaking news to help you keep up with the convention and everything else happening across the delaware valley. go to 6abc.com and #6abcaction

traffic is likely to be affected. matt pellman is in the traffic center with an update on how the highways and roads are looking. >> no doubt about it. in addition to all the complications with the dnc brian and sharrie, we are watching a vehicle fire here on the pennsylvania expressway in the eastbound lanes east of the 202 in king of prussia and they have the right lane blocked right now because of the vehicle fire up ahead and the fire crews did get out here and extinguished the fire and everything is off to the side and they will pick up the cones and open the right lane shortly. it's jammed solid off 202 and 422 getting on the eastbound side of the schuylkill. you may want to use the pennsylvania turnpike but speeds there are in the 20s south gulph road could be an alternate. 95 southbound side this vehicle was facing sideways and at least now it's straightened out and

pushed to the side but southbound extra heavy from academy approaching this point at cotman and farther south you have the delays approaching the police check point by the vine and delays in delco heading towards that check point by the platt bridge. and burlington bristol bridge going up in 10 minutes or so for a northbound ship head for the turnpike connecter instead. we'll check it again in the 5:00 hour. >> we'll take it matt thanks. >> day three of course of the dnc is in full swing but we send it back to alicia vitarelli in the studio. a story out of california we are following today. firefighters battling a massive wild fire and they are working around the clock. officials say that the fire is 40% contained it has charred more than 35 square miles since it first began on friday afternoon. officials say that 18 houses have been destroyed and some

still to come we'll tell you how to beat the heat and save money at the same time and stepping outside still hot and steamy, taking a live look at the wells fargo center. where the dnc is all happening inside. adam joseph is there with the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast. outside in the heat coming up next.

we welcome you back to the wells fargo center and a number of people are in town tore the dnc and they are talking about the hot weather. >> it's the number one question people from out of town ask me. is it always this hot? adam is outside of the wells fargo center. adam it's not always this hot. >> it's not always this hot and

sunny but it's combined this week, one the brutal heat waves we have endured this year and we have one more day of it. look at the center city skyline, a beautiful shot there and a little haze in the atmosphere and tomorrow it's a whole different story. the atmosphere will get juiced back up and heavy hitters this time tomorrow. temperatures in philadelphia, our temperature is sitting at 92 degrees, and 90 in allentown, and 90 in reading and notice the sea breeze at the shore. and 83 at the atlantic city airport. you factor in the humidity is relatively low here, and the same as the air temperature. 95 millville and more humid in dover and 91 in allentown. it indicates a boundary to the south but all the severe weather
