It feels like the middle of july. A hot day in the middle of july. Our bodies have been slow adjusting to that. Thats why it feels so oppressive today and feels like 100 degrees out there. Except at the shore and in the poconos, for example. Isolated thunderstorms, not feeling like 100 degrees if youre under one of those. The weekend wont be quite as hot or humid. Most of the area is dry, like we are around philadelphia region but not everywhere. 93 degrees now, southwest wind at 16 miles an hour. We have been as high as 94 so far, going up to near 91 tomorrow. If we do hit 90 that will be three in a row and that means our first heat wave. 93 in philadelphia 90 in allentown. You are about to get cooled off with a thunderstorm. 92 in dover and georgetown and somewhat cooler closer to the beaches but right at the beaches, its way cooler.

Could be some gusty winds, little bit of lightning with that and going into skippack for example, by 5 30. The one up by the allentown area getting to bethlehem at 5 20, easton at 5 40. For the shore, we are not really expecting showers and storms. It will be a little warmer tomorrow because the wind direction is different. A northwest wind at ten miles an hour. Might get a sea breeze later in the day. On sunday its an onshore wind all day. Thats why its likely to be cooler. If theres any shower it will be down toward the delaware beaches on sunday afternoon. In the poconos, best chance of showers or storms would be sunday afternoon. It will be less humid as we go through the day tomorrow. Youll notice that in the poconos even tomorrow. Warm and humid with isolated evening thunderstorms. 77 degrees in philadelphia for the low. Tomorrow mostly sunny day. Not predicting storms with that northwest wind bringing in drier air. But up near 90 degrees for the high temperature. Then into the mid 80s, generally dry on sunday but the clouds increase.

He and the owner of the company contracted with the former Zurbrugg Memorial Hospital in riverside. The agreement was to remove asbestos before demolishing the building. Prosecutors say the workers werent trained to do the job and some were convicts from a Halfway House in trenton.

A 23 month old girl manhandled and pushed to the ground and this video obtained exclusively by news 4 showing an employee at apple montessori in hoboken grabbing a crying child by her feet holding them and yelling quote, stop it stop it right now. I was obsessed. I couldnt believe that a teacher would do that to a 2yearold. Reporter Carmelo Garcia has seen the video and the stories on news 4. He is a new jersey assemblyman who has also served on a board of education in hoboken for more than a decade. We have to protect those children, make sure we protect parents as legislators. Thats the one thing that has to happen. Reporter the i team has learned schools like apple montessori are not licensed child care centers.

She knows its false but i think shes told herself as well as shes told others this erroneous identity of hers enough that by now, she may believe it more than she believes the truth. A source for the naacp says there was an executive Board Meeting last night and as of now, nothing has changed. Milk eggs bread and a sixpack.

Now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. In addition to the heat and humidity we have had a couple of thunderstorms in the area and now just a report of some trees down and Power Outages in Whitehall Township in lehigh county. I will show you that storm in just a minute. It feels like 100 degrees out there in most of the area and now where its raining, not at the beaches, isolated thunderstorms, some of them pretty strong. The weekend wont be as hot or humid. Much of the area is dry, just like that picture is showing you. 93 degrees. We got up to 95 today. The southwest wind at 16 miles an hour so the temperatures gone from 92 to 95. Tomorrow pretty close to the 90 degree mark and if we hit it that will make it an official heat wave. Look at the temperature and how its dropped in allentown and pottstown. You can tell its been raining there. Its still in the 90s throughout delaware, including at lewes. Much cooler at the beaches at the jersey shore, only in the 70s. 73 in avalon 74 in beach haven. Atlantic city temperature of 75 right on the boardwalk. Theres a cold front that will put an end to some of this. We have drier and cooler air coming in behind it. As we head into the weekend. These are the storms one of the storms weakened quite a bit just in the last half hour or so. It had a lot of lightning. Now it hardly has any. Right along the pennsylvania turnpike, though coming into norristown. The other storm is the one that produced the wind damage and this is in the Lehigh Valley and a warning has now been extended as the storm is right over easton and nazareth right now with some pretty heavy rain. This red area indicating a rainfall rate of close to three inches per hour so big downpours with that cell. That continues to move to the east toward new jersey. Speaking of new jersey over the weekend, its actually going to be warmer at the jersey beaches behind the cold front. Its all about the wind direction. Wind direction will be out of the northwest, its a land breeze so getting to the 80s tomorrow before the sea breeze kicks in. Then the onshore wind on sunday will keep you cooler, a lot like today. In the poconos, 78 degrees with lower humidity. A really nice day tomorrow. Then the clouds increase on sunday, chance of thunderstorms during the afternoon. The future cast shows the temperatures staying up for much of the night tonight. By tomorrow morning, we are near 80 degrees already at 8 00 a. M. But with a northwest wind and the cooler area coming down thats going to prevent us from getting anywhere near as hot as it got today. The humidity will be significantly lower as well. You should notice that difference. Warm and humid with those isolated evening thunderstorms. 77 degrees for the low. Tomorrow, a hot day but not as hot or humid as today. Highs near 90 mostly sunny skies. That northwest wind making the difference. Then on sunday the clouds start to increase. Best chance of storms is at night and into monday. Warm and humid on tuesday and the best chance of storms and maybe some heavy rain later in the week. Thank you, glenn. Despite an unexpected visit by president obama, who made a last minute appeal to democrats on his pacific trade deal the house voted the measure down today. It was a rare instance where Congressional Democrats were the big road block to an obama legislative priority. The president traveled to the hill to speak with skeptical House Democrats. The surprise meeting happened shortly before a series of house votes on the socalled Fast Track Authority that grants the president power to negotiate a deal that cant be adjusted by congress. Lets go now to moderator of meet the press chuck todd. Chuck, so glad to have you with us. Tell us why democrats were opposed to the president s trade plan and really, whats next for this measure . Well look, heres why theyre opposed. This is not very popular with labor unions and this is not very popular with the core part of the democratic base. The people that are left in congress, the House Democrats that are left are those that represent some of the deepest blue congressional districts in the country who have a lot where labor unions have a lot of influence. The president was just on opposing sides with labor. Labor fought this tooth and nail. Labor threatened house lawmakers, democrats that voted with the president with primary challenges. This is a good oldfashioned way of when a politicians looking out for their own political survival and many of these House Democrats looked at what was happening to them and figured it wasnt worth the risk of getting primaried even if it was meaning dealing what could be a legacy blow to their own president. It really was sort of confusing because they were like two votes today. Whats next for this measure . All right. So this is why its confusing. The two votes are this. What got voted down is something called trade assistance insurance. What this is is that any worker that feels as if their job gets outsourced to another country because of a trade agreement by the United States there is money from the government to help with retraining and job placement, things like that. Its something democrats have demanded over the years for free trade agreements. President obama has said he wont sign a trade agreement that doesnt have this. But democrats decided to vote this down collectively as a way to stop the push for the other part of the trade agreement which as you noted did pass. But the way the legislation works, the Senate Passed both. The house only passed one. This cant get to the president s desk. Thats why its quote unquote been effectively killed. I know this is getting into sausage making here. Heres what happens next. In the next 72 hours the speaker of the house has the ability to bring back the bill that got voted down this trade assistance insurance. Thats whats going to happen. You will see the president again probably making tons of phone calls, personal help john boehner on the republican side is going to see if he can find more republican votes for this and they will try to do a revote to see if they salvage this. Im skeptical but thats what you will see happen. All right. It certainly isnt over. Chuck todd meet the press moderator live in washington tonight. Thanks for sorting it out for us. We will see you of course on sunday. Meet the press this sunday morning at 10 30 right here on nbc 10. To hula dancing now. You heard me right. The serious question could it help heal Breast Cancer . Thats just what doctors in hawaii want to know. They are following Breast Cancer survivors who hula to learn if the traditional dance improves their health. Researchers say the moods of the women improved. Now they want to know if that leads to a reduced risk of recurrence. All the women continued dancing even when the study ended. Hopefully they were inside when they danced on a day like today. Right. Thats for sure. Speaking of what its like outside today, boy, its miserable. Thats right. Heat and humidity and hula dancing. No just kidding. Some Backyard Pools in our area could soon be offlimits. The reason why all new on nbc 10 news at 5 00. Then coming up on nbc 10 news at 6 00, earlier this week we told you about some abandoned gas stations that shore residents say are eyesores. Tonight see what action is being taken.

Uhoh kelly if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Rick. Dont walk away from me. Ahhhhhhhh new at 5 00 a beach battle in delaware. The water brings cash for homeowners and also brings clamor. The controversys unfolding in rehoboth beach. People there could soon be banned from using pools. Tim furlong is live there. I understand that not everyones happy with the proposal right . Reporter thats right. You look in the official guide and you see plenty of ads, rent rental houses with swimming pools. Some people who live here year round say the rental pools are ruining their town. They want them closed up to renters all together. This is unreasonable noise. This is noise that really breaks your back. Reporter donna moved here because she loved the neighborhood feel but says more big rental houses like this seven bedroom one that sleeps 18 behind her house some of the other Pool Properties are renting for like 12,000 a week.
