Scene, a short time ago maybe ten to 15 minutes ago a very heavy Police Presence here in wilmington. People we have spoken to in the area say this park is usually relatively quiet but not exactly the the place they would go to, necessarily at night, they wouldnt necessarily bring their children here at night but again, that is just the opinion of a few people we have talk to. Back here live on the scene we will see once again if this park is now back opened to the public, it is a family in there right now. If it wasnt for some of the police tape we see just in the area still hanging around some trees would you not know that there was a Police Presence here but there was and that investigation remains active in wilmington. As soon as we learn more we will bring it to you on our broadcast and on line at cbs philly. Com. Live from wilmington, matt rivers for cbs3 Eyewitness News. A controversial arrest was claim to have Excessive Force was used, and it is all captured on camera. Reporter

And the potential for some small hail. We will track these storms as they head towards the shore. Then we will see nice changes overnight tonight. Before that today we have hot weather. Chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz is standing by with a look at that. Those storms put an end at least temporary end to the heat although we did get into the 90s in at least part of the area. It was a close call but we had temperatures going up from the 80s into the 90s in philadelphia. We got up to 90 degrees at 1 00 and the official high was 91 but you can see how much cooler it got north and west because the showers came in sooner. Then we dropped into the 70s as the showers came in and now we are all pretty comfortable. We now have an official heat wave, three days in a row of temperatures of 90 plus.
