Com weather for the latest information and the power of stormtracker 6 live double scan radar. And the storms are expected to last until tomorrow, they are moved the Independence Mall rally indoors to Temple University campus and sent protesters scrambling for cover. Reporter we are here at fdr park and many bernie supporters and protesters are parking up and getting out of the immediate area because of the pending storms. But those with whom i spoke will likely stick around and be back out here outside the Wells Fargo Center to protest the nomination of Hillary Clinton. They are seeking shelter with strong storms imminent. We are not going anywhere, our stuff is in the car, and dry, we are not afraid to get wet. The park was quiet this afternoon, it was a similar scene yesterday until 10 00 p. M. When protesters staged a sitin and storms the fence at the Wells Fargo Center. The more aggressive protests have been few because of the protesters and police. I am surprised by the discretion of police. 99 of time we have a peaceful protest. The exact numbers are constantly changing but over the past couple of days, a couple dozen people were cited or arrested. Chad pradelli, channel 6 action news. Thank you. Of course here inside of the Wells Fargo Center tonight belongs to Hillary Clinton. She will accept the nomination after the end of another long list of speakers, former mayor, Michael Nutter will address the convention coming up soon and so will senate candidate, Katie Mcginty and pennsylvania governor, tom wolf, will speak to the delegates here. And then at 10 00 Chelsea Clinton will take to the stage to introduce her mother and then Hillary Clinton will officially be the first one to be a nominee of a major party. A surprise, Hillary Clinton did not take the traditional walk through. And musical acts like katy perry rehearsed. Clinton has stayed away from cameras. I spoke with Clintons Campaign manager, about what to expect to hear and what we will not be hearing. Its less about reintroducing and making sure voters know information they may have forgotten or never heard before. What she will do in this speech is talk about the vision for the future. This is something we have not seen at the Republican Convention last week, a lot of doom and gloom from donald trump. Sara bloomquist is live at the Convention Floor, are you talking to people that have High Expectations for this speech. We talked to a few holdouts. And some Bernie Sanders holdouts, if you will. You can see the delegates are taking their seats as this session is about to get underway. And Hillary Clinton is about to weave together the themes of the week and giving specifics on policy. And we ask the delegates about what they want to hear from their nominee. Want hillary to be hillary. I am amazed when people say she is aloof or distant. I have never seen that. I am a hillary supporter and i think she is the real thing. She has always been a compassionate person and has a track record for fighting for child care for all young people. I think tonight well see the best of Hillary Clinton. I think she needs to show she is a real person and where she will lan on the ttp issue, here at the hall many of us have strong feelings about that. She has been demonized for so many years by the republicans who spent billions of dollars as president obama thinking can imagine. Back here live the pennsylvania delegation is looking forward to hearing from former mayor, Michael Nutter and governor, tom wolf and looking forward to hearing katy perry on the stage tonight. Back to you in the studio. We got a preview of that performance sounds good. Thank you. Republican nominee, donald trump, doing a little bit of back peddling after calling on russia to spy on his rival. Is it appeared that trump talked directly to the russian government hoping they would find 33,000 missing Clinton Emails and release them to the public. Trump said today he was just kidding. And when im being sarcastic with something. Were you being sarcastic . You have 33 thousand deleted the real problem is what was said on the emails. The fbi says they are investigating claims that the russian government hacked into the Democratic National committee releasing internal emails suggesting bias against Bernie Sanders. Between the Security Check points and its motorcade it could be the worst day for the city. Matt pellman is here from the traffic center.

Sharrie and i are sitting with a birds eye view on the final night of the Democratic National convention. Hillary clintons running mate is hitting back against donald trump. Donald trump said tim kaine did a terrible job as governor of new jersey. The problem is that tim kaine is from virginia. He may have been confusing him with tom keen and he called him ignorant of basic civics. He gave a press conference and pointed out what a lousy governor of new jersey i wa. He is new at this when a reporter asked trump did he meant to say virginia, he did, and corrected himself. With all that happened throughout the convention, many pennsylvania delegates they are most looking forward to the main events tonight.

We hit a high of 95 in philadelphia and then the steady rain comes in and knock its down to 76 in wilmington and millville and trenton sitting around that 80 degree mark. But again, the tropical humidity has shot through the roof here this afternoon. 73 in philadelphia, 76 in millville soaking 77 in dover, and this is what is supplying heavy rainfall and the Flash Flood Watch overnight tonight. You see the pipeline of moisture down to the south and east and low pressure is developing along the boundary, and that will ripple through here during the overnight hours tonight. At 7 00 still scattered downpours and thunderstorms that could turn severe, and as we get into the Early Morning hours at 1 30 a. M. , heavy rain passes through and the question is, is it south of philadelphia or to the north and we have to track this overnight and moves out for tomorrow morning rush hour and well see if there is residual flooding on roadways.

Closer on double scan live radar shows some pretty nasty storms along route 40 here paralleling the Atlantic City expressway near elmer and glassboro and mays landing and another batch at middletown and smyrna in delaware. Near salem almost 3 inches of rain and 2 inches around elmer and 3 inches in parts of newcastle county. A pocket of 2. 4 near the airport in philadelphia. This is just the initial batch and well add more rain to that and in fact, if we look at this graphic here, this is what we call precipable water, this is how much is over our heads, from philadelphia to south jersey and delaware, 2 to 2. 5 inches of rain if a storm fires up it can release that amount of rain in a short amount of time. That is why the Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the entire area through noon tomorrow where areas could see 3 inches of rain. And roads covered by water turn around and find an alternate route.

We are hosting a debate and conversation at the famoe ouous street deli in Queen Village that is where we find nydia han. Reporter today we found a group of women to talk about this historic election and they were from both sides of the aisle. I think he is a bully, i think he is a bully, who is not qualified to run for president. And i am very scared of the process of having someone so thin skins and hot headed in negotiations with foreign leaders. But trump surrogates says that he is qualified to tackle the most challenging issues and knows what they are. Americans are truly worried about isis and Border Control and the economy at large and the trade agreements i think that is what the focus is. Clintons supporters say her focus is in the right place. She is putting a lot of the issues that were on the back burner on the front burner, we are not talking about a reality host but reality. Fairness matters, someone with real economic plans. Donald trump hires women and has always hired women and has them in executive level positions and pays them sometimes more than men and women are higher than his son, his daughter.

An overturned truck on the quakertown is cleared up. This is 202 in Chester County, southbound our normal delay but here is the good news, by mid to late next week you get the third lane open in each direction along 202 between 401 and the 30 bypass, good news for the Chester County drivers, elsewhere flooding at the creek closing lenape road and in frank lynn township, we have downed trees and wires and something for everyone.
