. >>> and in western pennsylvania a lot of you are talking about when police officers in the town ofomestead did this week. >> it started in a restaurant. "eyewitness news" reporter jan carabao joins us to explain, good morning, jan. >> yes, this story is getting a lot of attention on social media. as we know tensions between police officers in many communities across the country has been high in the wake of last weeks violence but this group of officers in western pennsylvania was able to turn an uncomfortable, eke ward situation around, with a simple act of kindness. it was a typical friday night at eat on park and homestead allegheny county, or so these four officers thought. >> we're sitting down waiting on our food. >> i heard talk. i happened to glance over and a couple coming in the restaurant. >> reporter: officers are regular is here, usually greeted with handshakes and gratitude this night was dip rent. >> i don't want to sit here. >> i said, it is okay, your is, you don't have to worry about it, we won't hurt you. he looked at me hard and said he is not sitting there and w

but others are in scranton/wilkes-barre, and absolutely watch out for western pennsylvania. ese are democrats, reagan democrats that could be pulling the lever for trump. >> i don't think democrats are taking pennsylvania for granted. >> they're not. >> and i think even in the last couple of elections with john kerry or barack obama, constantly really campaigning here because the real turning thing on election day is turnout. if you've got huge populations in philadelphia and the pittsburgh area, they're mostly democratic. you've got a democratic governor. you've got pockets around the state that are not gonna vote democratic when they go for donald trump. that's absolutely gonna happen. so, if the turnout is not high, particularly in the southeast, then donald trump definitely could win pennsylvania. >> i think he does rather well in philadelphia. it's a weird sort of thing. it's the frank rizzo syndrome -- bridesburg, south philly, port richmond. he'll do much better than mccain or romney in philadelphia. >> he'll certainly attract a lot of democratic votes. >> yeah. >> rig

there were heavy thunderstorms rumbling through western pennsylvania, most of which have since sizzled but we are still just on the leading edge or just out ahead of the cold front which is going to help eventually to not, put temperatures back a little bit but for right now we have to dodge these scattered showers and thunderstorms this particular pocket will sizzle and we are done with wet weather for the rest of the morning. the as day progresses isolated showers and storms will fire up once more. they hud not be as widespread as yesterday but look at these dew points, my gosh, so muggy outside. temperature is almost on par with where these dew points currently stand this air mass is essentially near saturation. once we see sun coming up and temperatures sore to 94 degrees or so with the higher humidity it will feel oppressive outside. one hundred to 104 is basically the range of feels like values across the region. friday we will feel like it is flirting with a hundred or up to that point. so today really is the worst in terms of how it will feel outside but we will keep you at 94

and they had thunderstorms in western pennsylvania this morning. at least we'll get a couple clouds off that in pittsburgh, you'll notice showers and thunderstorms. they're weakening a little bit. so they may not make it. and we'll keep the isolated storm chance out there. but we're going into the low and mid-90s and 90s to 80s this evening. through the weekend, these are the forecast high temperatures. saturday and sunday, 98. and monday and tuesday, still hot and 95. a big week coming up. and lots of folks have plans. but dent forget to download the app. you can get the latest weather conditions anytime. >>> we hear this every year, but it bears repeating, drink plenty of water and find lots of shade this weekend. it will be a bear. >> reporter: it is not the best die spend a lot of time outdoors. but for those who livelihoods depend on it, they have a plan. sammy says seen plenty of hot days and running the food vendor. so he knows what to expect through the day. >> it will be hot. i'm going to drink lots of water. >> reporter: and on steamy day

more strands in the forecast from kentucky to portions of ohio and western pennsylvania. for a significant flash flooding and now they could be looking at a rain. that is something to watch out for closely. about 30 minutes ago the high temperature according to this model for 88 degrees. other models talk about temperatures in the 90s and potential for heavy rain to push through. otherwise in other areas like across the plains, temperatures make it into the upper 90s in triple digits. i want to talk about humidity because it's very high up there. doctrine that with the high temperatures, talking about heat index values for what it feels like when you had outdoors. places like dallas will collect 106 degrees. tulsa, oklahoma 109 and across the eastern u.s. and the conditions paid 105 in wilmington and philadelphia the upper 90s did let's head over to you. nicole: we're fully prepared and know to drink a lot of water. tanks, maria. >> we asked you guys whether you would pay $5 to $10 more a month or a bigger data plans. andrew franklin treated at a use my data. i'm fine wit

this is in western pennsylvania, and it's moving to the east.o that's why we do have the threat of showers and storms in the forecast for tomorrow. and some of you may actually be happy to see that because we've got even hotter air moving in. today we were in the mid-90s. felt like 98, 97 thursday and friday, feeling like about 104. several degrees hotter than today. 6 degrees hotter is the way it's going to feel. it will feel more like 97. some of those cooling thunderstorms coming in in the afternoon even thursdon thursda chances of getting hit are well below 50/50. then it all dies down thursday night and builds back up on friday, as the front approaches. again, not in the morning so much as later in the day and into the evening hours. some scattered showers and thunderstorms. and going to need some of that to cool things off. look at these temperatures with the scattered showers. probably no storms on saturday in the ficphiladelphia itself. maybe not even to 90 degrees in the lehigh valley. in some places it will be cooler. some places will

serious clouds are in western pennsylvania. is where there are storms we'll be watching the skies this afternoon for a chance of showers and thunderstorms. more likely to happen this evening. the hour by hour forecast shows a 6:30 this evening, pretty quiet, but as we go into the later evening hours, we could see some isolated showers and possibly some thunderstorms. this is showing them into delaware, and the suburbs and lehigh valley, more likely we'll see stronger storms to the north during the day today. this weekend, pretty quiet when it comes to storms for saturday and sunday but the temperatures soar, in fact, hotter on saturday than on sunday. the humidity will be higher saturday afternoon as well. that 97 will feel like 105 in the afternoon. the suburbs, lehigh valley, south jersey and delaware will all see those very high temperatures and even at the shore, unusually warm, 90 degrees for saturday and again on sunday. a little bit of a break in the temperature on sunday and a break from the humidity from the highest hu

but it's the storms in western pennsylvania, that's where most of the activity has been so far today.emperatures are climbing, into the 90s this afternoon, for philadelphia, the suburbs, and the lehigh valley. storms later today, and into tonight. that's when we could see some of the heaviest rainfall. the suburbs, 92 degrees for lansdale, allentown with some sunshine, up to 90 degrees, and into new jersey, the better chance of storms will come later today, with afternoon temperatures in the 90s. even at the shore. lots of sunshine until those storms develop this afternoon. and the strongest storms will be in southern new jersey in the cape may area and into delaware, as well. it's why we've issued a first alert for our area for delaware, new jersey, philadelphia, and the pennsylvania suburbs for today and tonight. that's when some very heavy thunderstorms, strong storms, with damaging winds and heavy rains will be moving through. there is a potential for a flash flooding in our area. and this will not be the end of the showers and thunderstorms. we've got the ten-day on 10, just ahea

. >> well, secretary clinton and tim kaine took that message to the people to the folks in western pennsylvania. some of the hardest hit by the recession and kept up the optimistic theme of the week in philly. >> it was like a twisted and negative tour. it wasn't a tour of this country. it was a journey through donald trump's mind. that is a very frightens place. >> donald trump painted a negative dark, devicive picture of a country in decline. >> i'm not telling you everything is peachy keen. i'm telling you we have work to do if we are going to make sure everybody is included. >> isn't it great the words they are using? peachy keen and malarky. i can see the world passing right by you, casey. >> reporter: you can. we are in your native pennsylvania. we just stopped in hatfield. it is where they make lincoln logs. this is, as you said, about white working class voters, particularly men who have broken for donald trump lately in polling. democrats knowledge privately that pennsylvania is up for grabs than it has been. there is a risk for her in letting the state go. of course you know well that

we have high pressure building in from north western pennsylvania, the afternoon is going to be fine, get some sunscreen or a hat if you'll be outside, mid to upper 80s a nice evening good night to see the dodgers. as far as the heat, have to show you this before we go, 80, 91 thursday, sunday, monday, highs in the upper around 100 degrees with this dangerous heat moving in download the wusa 9 app you'll be able to track the latest weather and storms given the heat headed your way. >>> a family in northwest feels extremely lucky after waking up to find a massive tree right on their doorstep. left quite a mark on tilden street. >>> we've seen quite a bit of damage in this neighborhood, but one home that stands out is this one, a massive tree uprooted from the ground when it fell, it landed on inches away from this family's front door . i feel very fortunate as, takes awhile to go through that first moment of shock, all in all, no. we're very blessed. >>> peter and his family we powerful storm moved across the area. they never heard this towering tree hit the ground outside the bedroom

when you see how they've changed parties, how western pennsylvania has changed, it's not so much about people who have an ideological bend. what they are are hardworking blue collar people, men and women who get up every day, with one objective and one objective only. that's to put a roof over the head of their children, food on their table, clothes on their back and have a community that's strong. schools that are strong and chu churches strong. under this administration we've seen the lower labor participation rate, wages have fall fallen. everything is stagnant. you can't look at this and say, boy, those 7 1/2 years of the obama administration makes sense. wait until hillary gets here. he's going to make it worse. when she gets in front of people and smiles and says we're going to put you out of work people are going to look at her and say are you so out of touch for that? i watched philadelphia, leland, i got to tell you. the people coming out of that arena were probably walking back and forth and trying to get their balance. that thing was spinning so fast the reality is america i

that's going to be a factor in western pennsylvania and other areas. we have our work cut out for us here in pennsylvania. everybody who wants to see secretary clinton become president has to get out there and vote. >> former pennsylvania governor, former mayor of philadelphia ed rendell, thanks for being with us. we want to get some perspective from the other side of the aisle. many local republican leaders are coming up for air after last week's trip to cleveland. now they are preparing for an invasion of democratic delegates. joe defalice is one of them. you are in our digital operations center. joe, you were in cleveland last week. now that the rnc has wrapped up, is the party able to unify and rally around donald trump? considering many have voiced reservations about him. >> we're unified. i spent time with the pennsylvania delegation. a lot of people that were rubio supporters, jeb bush supporters, ted cruz supporters, john kasich supporters that have come into the tent. i spent time walking around the arena talking to delegations from oklahoma, h

. >> reporter: rolling through rural western pennsylvania 100 days from the election, hillary clinton and tim kaine going to the heart of a republican stronghold. here in almost all white cambria county, there is only one issue. jobs. >> we're going to create jobs in pennsylvania and across america. >> reporter: in the rustbelt, donald trump is targeting working class voters angry and frustrated that the recovery has not caught up with them. >> we need help this in community. in this area, we need help. >> reporter: clinton has detailed plans on every aspect of the economy on her website and in her speeches. >> we'll make companies pay for what are called inversions under the tax code. >> reporter: but everyone with those details, she is trailing donald trump in pennsylvania and ohio among white non-college educated voters, struggling to compete with trump's much simpler message. >> we're going to bring back our jobs and people are going to have great jobs again. >> i actually have plans. some people make fun of me for having plans. >> voters need to look beneath the surface and see w

the bus is rolling toward their first stop in western pennsylvania. begin two hours from now. andrea mitchell is on the bus. we'll talk with her, but it's part of the campaign's three-day long bus tour through the rust belt states, which began yesterday. there are new reports today that computers used by the clinton campaign have been hacked in spate of hacking incidents aimed at dats. this time, reports say computer systems used by the clinton campaign were hacked and signs buoya points to russia's intelligence service. the campaign says internal computer systems had not been compromi compromised. let's bring in former ambassador corussia. good to see you. let's talk about what james clapper said when accused about russia's involvement in the dnc in the e-mail leak this week. he would not lay blame there, but did say motivation was a factor in how serious this should be taken. just say it's actor x. and if it was a nation state actor x, i think that's really the key thing. not so much the hacking took place as much as what was really the motivation.

and they are, as you say, taking this tour across western pennsylvania and ohio. and, of course, that's aimed at many of these especially white working class voters who are -- have been displaced by really significant structural changes in the economy and frankly don't feel as though their lives are secure in the way they used to be. and donald trump has really tapped in to what's going on with that. and so democrats for the first time in a long time feel like pennsylvania is potentially at risk. and ohio always a swing state. they share, of course if you ever talk to senator rick santorum, he's from western pennsylvania but understands eastern ohio very much. there will be a lot of speaking to that. folks near pittsburgh, youngstown and into cleveland before we end the tour in columbus. but i do think it's really telling you mentioned colorado at the top. the clinton campaign supporters, the superpac up on the air in pennsylvania. not on the air in colorado. i have to tell you, i've talked to top republicans and democrats in colorado in the paflt couple of weeks

the folks in western pennsylvania and eastern ohio. some of the hardest hit, by the way, by the recession. they kept up the optimistic theme of the week in philly. >> the republican convention was like a twisted, negative tour. it wasn't a tour of this country. it was a journey through donald trump's mind and that is a very frightening place. that is a very frightening place. >> donald trump painted a picture, a negative, dark, divisive picture of a country in decline. i'm not telling you that everything is just peachy-keen. i'm telling you we have made progress but we have work to do if we're going to make sure everybody is included. >> isn't it great the words the democrats are using these days? peachy-keen and malarkey? i'm joined by nbc news correspondent kasie hunt who is on the clinton/kaine campaign bus. a new phrase to master. there you go. i can see the world passing right by you. >> reporter: you can, chris. we are in your native pennsylvania. we just stopped in hatfield, where they make, factory where they make lincoln logs

this november, donald trump sees an opening in pennsylvania's coal country-- the state's western counties where unemployment is a few percentage points above the national average, and where many coal miners and their families feel their way of life and standard of living is under siege. as special correspondent, chris bury reports in tonight's signature segment, coal country voters want to know whether either candidate can ever bring those jobs back. >> reporter: dave whipkey, now 64 and retired, spent much of his life working at a pennsylvania coal mine. it was difficult, dangerous work, but in 38 years at the mine, whipkey was able to provide well for his family. with overtime, he was earning close to $75,000 a year when he retired in 2014. >> when you're first hired in the mine, you go underground, and it's different, it's neat. after you're there a month, you look around and you think, "what am i doing here?" if you can get past that phase of it, then you're okay. >> reporter: the emerald mine, where whipkey worked, lies in nearby waynesburg, a coal town tucked in the appalachian moun

. >> reporter: central and western pennsylvania. >> we're anything to be visiting a few place where's people are making things. i find it highly amusing that donald trump talks about make he doesn't make a thing in america except bankruptcies. >> reporter: the economy was a major focus of clinton's address last night. >> we will have help more people learn a skill or practice a trade and make a good living doing it. we will give small businesses like my dad's a boost, make it easier to get credit. way too many dreams die in the parking lots of banks. >> reporter: she portrayed trump as provoked to lead. >> donald trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign. a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. ( cheers ) >> reporter: clinton acknowledged she has her own work to do. >> i get it that some people just don't know what to make of me. >> reporter: it helps that up. >> if you want to know about trustworthiness and character of somebody in public life, look to see-- >> we trust hillary! ( cheers and applause ). >> all righ

thunderstorms will cool you off around areas of ohio, western new york, western pennsylvania and we'll watch out for severe storms in areas of new england and billings at 101 to wichita at 105. yeah, this is it. i mean, it's hard to believe it will be hotter than this any time this summer. >> that's the humidity that will make or break. especially when it comes to the hair do. >> i deal with it all the time. >> and one community, don't drink the water. it's laced with pot. >>> and the most powerful name in news laced in turmoil. after the fall of roger ailes. the sordid details next. sordid . tomorrow is not a given. but entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible. ♪ tomorrow, tomorrow... ♪ i love ya, tomorrow entresto helped more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. if you've h
