Now the big Fireworks Show is actually on the parkway tuesday night. And as part of cbs3s summer fest, we spent the day finding all of the hidden gems in philadelphia. Our jessica dean set out to learn the history behind all of the different names to apply to different neighborhoods in the city. Philadelphia is said to be a city of neighborhoods. Weve got a few. Theyre currently 200 named neighborhoods in our city. Do you know why it is called Queen Village . I do not know why it is called Queen Village, but there is a queen street. I do not know nothing about the queen or her village. Do you think it is named after an actual queen . Kind of. What about fishtown . People that live there originally fish. A bunch of fish there. Any reason why it is brewerytown . I would have to say there were breweries there back in the day. West philly, i dont know why it is called mantua. I can gooing tell. There are a lot of guesses as to why our neighborhoods are named what they are, why is Queen Village, Queen Village . But for the answers we went right to the expert. Here is where the art museum is. It is called fairmount. It was a hill. Lee arnold is the direct over of the library of the Historical Society of pennsylvania. And he knows a lot about the history behind our neighborhood name. Some of them are somewhat expected. Fishtown. Named after people would fish in the area, so they caught chad, and eel, and and r john. Brewerytown . Also does make some sense, 1920s it was called brewerytown because of the breweries that existed there at the time. Turns out Queen Village was indeed named for an actual queen. It is named for kreen christina of sweden. Game swayeds lands in 1653 now whats Queen Village. However the name Queen Village wasnt popularized until the 19 70s. And then there are some names like mantua that dont necessarily come with a easy explanation. This is the most odd one i can think of. I thought maybe lenny len pay, or dealing with people who made dresses, Something Like that, it is named after mantua, italy. And thats it. Have no idea why. Matt, i have to admit, 200 plus neighborhoods, i get a little confused at times. Youre not kidding. We all do. There are so many. Sometimes you talk to people in the neighborhood, they cant even get it straight. Well, thats really and sometimes it can be different on one side of the street than the other. So it is very confusing for us. I feel like there is a new one popping up every day. Yes. If you are in any of the neighborhoods this morning, hot, hot and humid to say the least for the entire philadelphia area. For our saturday today, we will watch for couple of showers, thunderstorms out, there as well, later on in the afternoon. We will talk about the chance for maybe a strong to even possibly severe thunderstorm, as well, but the good news, things do quiet down tonight. And then it is sunny, and it is hot once again for our sunday. So overall, it is a very summer like, very july like weekends across the delaware vale. Temperatures for us right now, as it is a very warming very muggy start to the day, 78 in wilmington, as well as philly. Seventythree out in reading. Now we do see couple of 60s out toward allentown, into the poconos, still thats above average. Still 76 to start out this saturday morning. Here is the muggy air, the humid conditions, theyre sitting over top of the region, dew points any time were in the high 60s to 70s, thats into that oppressive range. There is a lot of moisture out there in the atmosphere. So again, right now, we have the warm air, we have the moisture, and as we look at storm scan3, not much happening right now across the delaware valley, but we zoom out, we can see the shower and thunderstorm activity firing up along a cold front out to the west right around pittsburgh, now up toward rochester, new york area. There we have it. We have the warm air, we have the humid air, then look for the firing, our triggering mechanism, the up lift, it will be our colds front. Thats a slight risk for Severe Weather for today, incorporated pretty much across the entire viewing area. See the poconos, Lehigh Valley. Now the slight risk cut off is just right over top of philadelphia county. Then as you move into jersey we get into the marginal risk area. Still watching for are shower, thunderstorm activity that fires up, really kind of into the afternoon and then toward the early evening hours. And it could be, again, strong to severe, strong gusty winds, potential is therefore little bit of hail to develop. And of course, heavy rainfall to go along with all of t as we go through the morning hours, you see by 9 00, 10 00, maybe couple every light showers developing. For the most part it will be a dry first half of the day. Maybe a little bit of sunshine breaks through the clouds. Overall mostly cloudy first half of the day. And really, then, overcast afternoon for us. You see by 5 00, shower and thunderstorm activity into the lancaster, berks county, back up toward the poconos there is will be moving toward philly by the time we get to about 7 00, 8 00 it will be right through the philadelphia area, by 9 00 oclock it starts to fade out as it moves into south new jersey. You can see couple of showers down toward dover, as well, then few isolated showers even though not seeing too much on the future weather could go down toward the shore points, around maybe 9 00, 10 00. By the time we get to midnight really starting to clear things out, and it should and very, very nice sunday for us. High temperature today 89, once again, late day thunderstorms developing. As we get a look at the eyewitness weather day forecast, 92 tomorrow, sunny, less humid on the back side of the front, even though temperatures dont really change all that much. We go to 90 on mondayment then the fourth of july itself sunny and hot, high of 87, maybe spotty shower on monday and tuesday as well. But it wont and wash out after day. Dont worry about cancelling any plans monday and tuesday, then we get better chance for showers and thunderstorms, jan, as we head toward thursday of next week.

As terry okita reports from london, british Scientists Say they found it. Lathering on sunscreen is essential ritual of summer, to guard against the suns harmful rays. But it ingredients arent for everyone. A lot of it gives me rashes, so i have to be real careful i buy sunscreen made for sensitive screen. Researchers in whales say they found natural alternative to synthetic sunscreen, tiny type of algae lives in the satisfy has protect themselves from dangerous sun rays. They do this by produce ago sweet compounds that has very high absorption property. So they actually screen out the harsh conditions of the sun, the ultraviolet rays. Doctor caroll lou ellen and her team at the university grew the micro algae under ultraviolet light in a lab. This yes able to extract the elements that protect us from ultraviolet light. Eventually we hope to get high enough concentrations to make it economically viable to actually incorporate into commercial sunscreen. Scientists believe algaes natural compounds can be incorporated, not just into sunscreens, but other products, like shampoos, and moisturizers. Haley says, she doesnt minds the thought of covering herself with algae. Scientifically if it would work, i think, probably more healthy, more natural than having other strange chemicals. Scientists are still experimenting with micro algae, but its ability to grow just about anywhere could give it a bright future. Teri okita for cbs3, Eyewitness News.

And outside right now, rehoboth, it is pretty good start to the day all be it warm start to the day. You see some clouds out there on the horizon, it is going to get cloudy later this afternoon, and as you get a look at the down the shore forecast here as i said mostly cloudy unfortunately later on in the day as we watch cold front start to approach from the west. On this day, temperatures will still be in the 80s to about 84, 85, range, so it will be warm day. Humidity will be high. So our temperatures again, while theyre in the 80s, or so, it is probably going to be feeling little warmer than that. Winds ten to 15 out of the south. South winds is actually going to help us get more of moderate rip countries being, so if you are out on the beach today, planning on doing any kind of swimming, make sure youre doing it by the lifeguard.

Really what we are watching is our front thats out to the west. You see shower, thunderstorm activity, right now, all the way from rochester, new york, back down through erie and toward pittsburgh, as well. Than front as it tracks eastward, is going to move into that warm and that humid air thats sitting over top of the delaware vale. It will fire up showers and thunderstorms as we go throughout the afternoon hours today. Future weather shows us maybe few light showers here in some parts of the morning, really, though, the better chance for maybe shower will be into the afternoon, we start to see the current get in here, some thunderstorm activity from the poconos, berks, lancaster county, around 4 00, 5 00 in the afternoon, will move into the philadelphia area we get to 8 00 or so. See here, philly with the little cell right over it, right at 8 00. Trenton as well, down through the dover area, millville, so thats our line of cold front there.

We will go 92 for our sunday. Back side of the colds front, really the affect will be lower humidity, more than lower temperatures tomorrow. We will go 90 degrees monday, 87 for the fourth of july itself, a small shower chance for us on the fourth, dont cancel your outdoor plans, it will be very, very spotty, if we see anything at all on the fourth of july, better chance for thunderstorms in the second half of the next week.
