>> good morning, tracy. we're tracking showers and thunderstorm activity. the thunderstorms just offshore of atlantic city. they move through the cape may area, heavy downpours there. the threat this morning, the concern for more flooding rain is this line of showers that's to the west. we have some mainly light rain in the area right now but these heavier showers will swing through, already starting to come down in parts of the lehigh valley and the western suburbs. that's a possibility this morning. we'll see more heavy downpours. we're continuing our if first alert this morning, into delaware, new jersey, philadelphia and the suburbs, the possibility this morning of more flash flooding. the threat will end this afternoon. we'll get sunshine. we're not going to see something that we've seen for a long time now. 90s will not happen today. we'll be in the 80s this afternoon. i'll go through the forecast hour by hour when i'm back in a few minutes. jessica boyington has your first alert traffic. >> thank you, bill. we're starting off on 95. these are our cameras around cottman avenue. this earlier accident cleared out of the way. there were no problem delays because of the scene. souderton, broad street and franklin avenue, another accident. over in new jersey, 295, the southbound ramp at woodcrest station is partially blocked with emergency construction. tracy? tonight we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union. the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for president. >> with that, another night of history is chiselled into philadelphia. hillary clinton, the first woman to lead a presidential ticket. hillary clinton and tim kaine will stay and rally with voters at temple university at noon. last night, clinton tried to portray herself as a successful woman and working woman. >> if you believe your working wife, mother, sister or daughter deserves equal pay, join us! >> after her speech, red, white and blue balloons and confetti rained down on the stage at the wells fargo center. before she delivered it, political experts said hillary clinton's speech would be the most important address of her life. how did she do? nbc 10's matt delucia is live inside the wells fargo center. matt, you were on the convention floor with local delegates. how are they reacting. >> >> right after the balloons dropped i went over to local delegations to get their reaction. of course, during the speech, especially but really throughout the night, you could feel the energy here in this arena. take a look here. there were some protests at points during the speech but they were quickly drown out by supporters of hillary clinton. in talking with the delegates, a big part of getting through this week was about unity coming together and here's what some of the delegates told me right after it was all over. >> iç saw a great commander in chief, president obama, my other troops, i'm looking forward to them serving under president hillary clinton. yay! >> we needed to leave here strong as leaders to go back to our communities and win for her. >> and a live look at the wells fargo center. the cleanup under way, since around midnight when everyone started leaving the arena. what you saw on tv, of course, from this arena, a lot of work went into that. 475 workers and 10,000 volunteers were here this week. i spoke with some of them about their jobs and what this week meant to them. i'll have that coming up when i see you again at 4:30. live from the wells fargo center, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. clinton used her speech to batch her opponent donald trump. clinton made a direct appeal to republicans and independents wary of trump's fitness to serve as commander in chief. >> imagine him in the oval office facing a real crisis. a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. >> after clinton's speech, donald trump immediately took to twitter to respond, tweeting no one has worse judgment than hillary clinton, corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes. clinton struggled in this election and elections past with the personal aspect of her character. she's depicted as cold and untrustworthy. her daughter addressed those criticisms head on. >> my earliest memory is my mom picking me up after i had fallen down, giving me a big hug and reading me "good night moon." from that moment to this one, every single memory i have of my mom is that, regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always, always there for me. >> chelsea said her mother wasn't just concerned about her well-being but the opportunities for all children. and while her daughter was on stage introducing her, clinton watched her speech on the tv in the back room and tweeted this picture with the caption, so proud. president bill clinton also tweeted that watching chelsea speak was one of the greatest moments of his life. after clinton's speech, the president gave his approval on twitter, tweeting she's tested, she's ready. she never quits. that's why hillary should be next president. the job comes along with the potus twitter handle. protests were peaceful last night. bernie sanders supporters are still angry about the dnc wick -- wikileaks scandal. at least three arrests were made while our cameras were outside the wells fargo center last

township. this one fell on a home in harvey bridge road. about a mile down the road, nbc 10 found three downed trees on a property. a shot stopped one treeç from falling on the house. home owners told us it felt like a tornado. >> it was a whiteout. you couldn't see anything t. looks like the whole tops of the trees were just twisted, turn and knocked over. >> there was no official confirmation that a tornado caused the damage. nbc 10 first alert meteorologist bill henley, tell us about what we can expect this morning now. >> we have rain in the area. we've seen some thunderstorms this morning, tracy. cape may has seen that thunderstorm activity move through. the streets are wet. there go the storms pushing off to the northeast. what i'm worried about is the rain coming in from the west. scattered showers right now in philadelphia, into wilmington. look at this line of heavier downpours, that is to our west. that's going to swing through the area this morning. as it does, the potential for more heavy downpours. a flash flood threat still exists for our area this morning. 75 degrees in philadelphia. it's not going to last all day. we will see the clouds thin out after a

that. >> these are our cameras around 24th street. we haven't seen that construction all week in between broad street and the schuylkill expressway, that closes down the vine street expressway in both

address a major party convention. >> tomorrow we can be different. tomorrow we can be protected and respected, especially if hillary clinton is our president. that's why i'm proud to stand here and say, i'm with her. >> mcbride was the first transgender intern at the white house. she was close with the bidens working on the beau biden campaign. democratic house leader nancy pelosi was also a special guest. last night, the mother of a philadelphia police officer killed in the line of duty addressed the convention. she was added to the schedule after the philadelphia fraternal order of police publicly criticized the dnc for only inviting family members of those killed by the police. officer moser walker was in plain clothes walking home from a shift when he was shot and killed during a holdup in 2012. his mother described finding christmas presents he he had wrapped and waiting in his house. >> he was in august. moses, he always thought ahead. he bought gifts for relatives,

in the arm. she needs surgery but is expected to be okay. the two gunmen ran away. neighbors say this wasn't the first shooting this week but the third. >> three times in one week? that's a bit out of norm. once a week, every other week is okay. but three times, something is going down. >> meantime in germantown, police say a young father was driving his car with his 4-year-old daughter inside when he was caught in cross fire, shot twice by two men. he is in critical condition. his daughter was taken to the hospital to be checked out. no arrests in this shooting either. more whales are being

this line of heavier rainfall that's moving through maryland this morning. it's falling at a rate of an inch and a third. that's not as heavy as what we saw yesterday afternoon. the grounded is already saturated. additional rainfall on top of what's already on the ground could lead to flash flooding. no thunder and lightning just yet but i can't rule that out. the other thing to look at,

afternoon. 80 on tuesday with a chance of some scattered showers. by wednesday, it warms up a little bit. it's part of a warming trend that will have us into the upper 80s on thursday. both days will be nice, humidity comes down for those days. then it's into the 90s once again for friday and saturday. it won't be an extended period of 90s as summer cools down to 8 degrees. typical summer heat for this time of year. tracy? >> thank you, bill. let's look at your ride to work at 4:20, how does 295 look, jessica? >> we look great on 295. no big problems so far. the cherry hill area, 13 minutes
