afternoon. and good evening, i'm george spencer. right now mercer county is being hit hard. the nbc 10 first alert team has been keeping a close eye on the storms tracking them as they move through. taking a live look right now at the storms on nbc 10 first alert radar, some areas are seeing rain now while others are still dry. now live pictures from our eagle's nest camera at lincoln financial field, as you can see from south philadelphia, rain still falling and the skies are gray. meanwhile though, it is a different story down the shore as we take a live look at the beach and cape may county. it has been dry there with a few peaks of sunshine. what you see depends on where you live. for that much, go to meteorologist karen thomas with the nbc 10 first alert neighborhood forecast. >> all right, george, you said it best. it really does depend on where you are right now. the latest doppler radar picture showing us that we've got a lot of moisture and some of this is heavy rain falling in parts of our area. looking down here in south jersey along the shoreline, virtually no rain, the same is true down here in southern delaware. the dover beaches. so clouds around for sure down along the shoreline but no rain just yet. all of the rain seems to be north and west of philadelphia. we've got a close eye right here where you see trenton because they've had what's called training there, heavy rain cells continuously going over the same area and look at this. over 3.5, close to 4 inches of rainfall has already fallen in mercer and middlesex county. we can see with the doppler estimated rainfall, a lot of rain already on the ground. that's why we say you want to really take it easy because it's spotty in nature but look at this blue. you can see over 1.5, close to 2 inches of rainfall in many parts and then we've got the purple shaded there. until 8:30 tonight, parts of middlesex and mercer counties in new jersey have a flash flood warning. i'll be back with more, george. >> karen, thank you. now to a developing story from delaware. take a look at this video. that is a dirt bike under a fire truck. that truck hit the biker before 1:30 sending the rider to the hospital with critical injuries. nbc 10s andrea is live at the scene. what do we know? >> reporter: george, i'm going to get out of the way to zoom in and show you markings on the road. that's exactly where the accident occurred. according to witnesses, fire truck was responding to a call and lights were on and sir rens blairing where the accident happened. the intersection at 4th and van buren was closed for hours. you can see dirt bike is under the fire truck. all of this happened around 1:30 this afternoon. witnesses say the collision -- after the collision firefighters helped the driver of the bike until the ambulance arrived. now we spoke to one person who called 911 and this is what he saw. >> my guess is the person on the motorcycle couldn't see or hear it he kept on going but he was going pretty fast the impact made him fly from this part from the street across. >> reporter: and none of the firefighters were injured in the crash. we're told that wilmington police are investigating. reporting live in wilmington, andrea thomas, nbc 10 news. >> both presidential candidates will be campaigning in the keystone state over the next few days. today democratic presidential

the every day struggles of hard working americans and said most politicians don't understand what they go through. she also touted her economic plan to create more jobs and keep companies head quartered in the united states. she used the opportunity to respond to donald trump's claim that america is weak. >> i don't think we're weak. i don't think we're in decline. i think we can pull

begin what will be a significant investigation into this tragedy. >> the crash site is right below a row of power lines. it is not clear yet though if that's what caused the crash. a man is in critical condition after a wrong address sparked police involved shooting in upper deerfield cumberland county. state police say it began with a 911 call last night. that caller hung up before giving

dry side but that picture has changed this afternoon into the evening hours with plenty of rain in and around the area. we can see cooler temperatures up here to the north. look at trenton, 73 degrees and 72 in coatesville because the heavier rain cells have already moved through there. we're still warming south and east of philadelphia. still 83 degrees right now in dover, delaware, but the rain and pockets of heavy rain and even thunderstorms are expected to continue through the next couple of hours. doppler radar showing there's plenty of moisture on the map here. we're keeping a close eye over here near trenton because that's where our focus is for flash flood warnings, parts of middlesex and mercer county still having close to 5 inches of rainfall in the last couple of hours. that is

we'll take you through as we wake up tomorrow morning. we're still contending with pockets of showers. that's why we say spotty showers down along the shoreline may not be raining but interior south jersey may be getting the shower activity. as we move through our sunday, cloud cover will prevail but peaks of sunshine as well but we'll have the pesky showers around especially as we get into the late day afternoon hours and again, we can't rule out the possibility of a late day thunderstorm tomorrow. sort of like a repeat of what we've experienced this afternoon and this evening again for tomorrow. the system won't clear out of here until late monday afternoon. so have the umbrellas at least for the next two days. we'll go ahead and show you ten-day forecast for philadelphia. temperaturewise tomorrow, not too bad, 84 degrees. we'll really have a mixed bag. again, it will depend on where you are, but we can't rule out a late day thunderstorm and isolated showers moving through the area. for monday, more of the same for at least the start of our day, 84 degrees. it isn't until tuesday that we really feel a break in the humidity and the rain showers will dry up. we're looking for sunshine, high temperature of 80 degrees. as we move all the way through the rest of the week, we do warm up as we head into next weekend and again, fz looking like we'll have another round of summerlike storms as we get to next saturday. >> up next, brian dawkins talks about what he hopes to get out of his return to the eagles organization eight years after he left. and it got

dawkins was at practice today he has joined the club's scouting department as the recipient of the scouting fellowship, a new program the nfl started to introduce former players to scouting. he is committed to working with the eagles through next year's draft and hoping to use this opportunity as a stepping stone. >> it's not just scouting, like i'm trying to grasp the whole gam bit of football operations of how a team is run. i'm learning about the scouting part of it, how i gegs the terminology and those things, but sometimes you either have an eye or you don't and i've been blessed to have an eye to see talent. if i can help in that respect, i would love to do that but also i want to learn everything about running a football team. >> people remember dau kins and eagles didn't part on good terms after the 2008 season. he ended up signing with the broncos playing final three years in denver before retiring in 2011. he still lives in denver and said there are no issues between him
