the florida keys and once again intensify to a tropical storm as it approaches florida and moves inland. we could again see that. now, the cone itself has really shifted a little farther to the west. now you see monday, 2:00 p.m., that cone is now including a little more of the gulf of mexico and much less of the atlantic. so we have seen quite a big shift to the west. computer models are finally picking up on more westward movement here. of course, as it moves over land, if this were to be the case, since that cone does get wider out in time, it does have the potential to stay in the gulf of mexico but if it were to move over florida, it would weaken back down to a depression. so these storms need warm water to fuel them and keep them alive, to intensify. but any land interaction will be weakening this storm. so this is the latest track on erika. we will have more later on this evening. and we have your weekend forecast. hotter temperatures, another heat wave coming. we'll take a look at that coming up. also tonight, the hunt is on for a hit and run driver who killed a 2-year-old boy and now there is new information on the case. >> philadelphia police told nbc 10 today they are

david died is the deadliest in philadelphia. we also found hundreds of drivers hit and left the scene when someone was injured or a car was so damaged it had to be towed. >> if you strike someone and you leave the scene, you are facing a mandatory sentence, three years in prison. >> reporter: criminal defense lawyer michael diamondstein represents people who hit and run. he is not part of this case. >> by leaving the scene you can turn what is nothing more than an auto accident into a significant criminal case. >> reporter: police say that's what miguel colon did when he sped through north philly on april 13th. the philadelphia district attorney's office tells us they prosecute between 500 and 600 hit and run cases every single year. so far this year in philadelphia there have been more

nbc news, washington. now your nbc 10 first alert weather with meteorologist sheena parveen. >> another gorgeous day outside. perfect for hitting the swimming pool. nbc 10 in abington, montgomery county. lots of kids trying to cool off from the temperatures today but it could be a lot worse. it's actually really nice outside with temperatures in the 80s right now. we are also keeping a very close eye on tropical storm erika. we have a shift in the track. we have the latest 5:00 update that just came in. i will show you that in just a minute. otherwise the weekend looks great. it will be hotter as we go across the weekend. but so far, perfect weather for anything you want to do outside. it could be the beginning of heat wave number five. so yeah, we will be getting back into the 90s over part of your weekend. temperature right now in reading is 80 degrees. allentown, 81. 80, pottstown. mid 80s in philadelphia. 84 degrees. but the humidity is still at a very comfortable level. 82 in wilmington, 80 glassboro, 81 degrees in millville. dover coming in 77 degrees. little nicer closer to the shore, especially, too. the average high is 84 degrees. today so far we have gotten to 84. tomorrow, we are up to 87. sunday, we are up to 90 and starting next week, we are looking at the low 90s. so it looks like we have another heat wave in the forecast. we will be watching that very closely, too. here's a live of look at center city from the adventure sqe aquarium. nice sunny day. dry conditions, too. temperatures again very comfortable. tonight it will be another cool one and we really don't have any rain heading this way. the closest rain is all the way near green bay, so that's not even going to get here. but it will be leaving just in time for the eagles game tomorrow. so no rain in that forecast. that's good news, too. low humidity as we go through tonight. here's future weather. so your friday night looks really good if you have any plans. saturday, though, the winds shift more in from the south so hotter temperatures move in to start the weekend off. by sunday we get even hotter, the 90 degree temperatures return to end out the weekend. that's going to be the start of the next heat wave. a look down in the tropics, this is tropical storm erika moving right over the dominican republic. the center of it is. even though it won't encounter all the ruggedness of hispaniola, the land interaction will help weaken this thing over the next couple days. winds are at 50 miles an hour, still a tropical storm moving to the west at 21 miles an hour which will eechtly be putting it over part of cuba. cuba is also very rugged terrain. that could weaken it by tomorrow afternoon back down to a tropical depression. we will watch this very closely. if it continues to survive it will be just south of the florida keys possibly on this updated track. that would be by sunday afternoon. at this time, going back into the water, the warm water just south of key west, that could bring it back up to a tropical storm. the current track says it still includes florida although it has shifted more into the gulf of mexico. that would be by monday afternoon. then weakening as it makes any more land interaction. so by tuesday and wednesday we could be talking about tropical depression erika. take a look at the computer models. a lot of them have really come into more of an agreement of the gulf of mexico or right over florida. not any of the models are even showing the atlantic like we have been over the past few days. things have really started to change as we have gotten a better idea of where this storm is actually heading. more updates tonight, too. clear and comfortable, mid 60s philadelphia, low 50s north and west. tomorrow, sunny, warmer day, temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. at the shore or the delaware beach, temperatures here will be in the low 80s. it looks nice over the weekend, nice and dry. by sunday, we will get into the

eyes are on tropical storm erika as she churns her way through the caribbean. >> the threat of the storm hitting florida is diminishing but people are still preparing for the worst. >> reporter: tropical storm erika weakened further friday, tracking south of the dominican republic, but still has its sights set on florida where the governor has already declared a state of emergency. >> we can always prepare for the worst and hope for the best. >> reporter: the storm devastated the caribbean island of dominica thursday, killing 12 people, including an elderly man and two children who were killed when a mudslide crashed into their home. another 20 people have been reported missing. that's not what they're expecting in florida when erika comes ashore possibly by monday. the forecast of up to a foot of rain is more disconcerting and hurricane strength winds. >> we are worried because this is the season, actually we have abnormally high tides. it may not be that we are able to get rid of the water as quickly as we want. >> reporter: relief agencies are already gearing up. >> here as you can see, the state headquarters, they make everything available to wherever their need may be. >> reporter: miami could be experiencing gale force winds as early as sunday night. chris clackum, nbc news. >> nbc 10's in-house hurricane expert has been tracking the storm for days now. >> we are talking about chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. even if erika weakens, the rain from the storm could still cause problems? >> yes. it's already caused a number of deaths in the caribbean and probably more by tonight and tomorrow in places like the dominican republic which has a very mountainous terrain and that's where the storm is. it's very very close there, as you can see. the red areas are the biggest thunderstorms. that's right over the dominican republic. they have mountains that are over 10,000 feet high. that's a bad combination. the track as we told you yesterday likely to go south of puerto rico and now south of dominican republic. there's haiti. there's cuba. the pressure has not dropped. the winds have not increased. what's going on here? well, hurricanes need warm ocean water to start off. 80 degrees, you need a cluster of thunderstorms to start off with. then you add a little bit of spin. the warm air rises, evaporation from the warm ocean, but when you have the thing going over land, where even a portion of the circulation goes over land, you are cutting off the energy source here. where the mountains are, the more you're cutting it off. so the wind is forced to come up. that creates even more rain, tears up the circulation of the storm. but it is still producing tremendous amounts of rain. in these mountainous countries, you get these mudslides that come down through cities and towns and that's where the fatalities happen. the latest track from the national hurricane center continues to take it over these mountainous islands and even southern cuba, and as a result, weaken it into a depression by tomorrow. sheena will be back with more on erika and the forecast in a few minutes. "nbc nightly news" will continue our coverage with more on the damage in puerto rico and other parts of the caribbean. that's coming up at 6:30 right here on nbc 10. a u.s. senator from our area announced that he will support the nuclear deal with iran. senator tom carper talked with nbc 10 today after announcing his decision in an op-ed published by the delaware news journal last night. carper said the deal is good not just for america but for our negotiating partners and the world. senator carper wasn't shy to tell us he would support vice president joe biden if he chose to run for president. take a listen. >> i'm a delaware boy. he's been my friend for a long time. he would be a great president. >> carper went on to offer to be biden's vice president for an all delaware presidential ticket. but will he run? that is the question everyone is asking. >> the v.p. reportedly said he will decide whether to run for the white house by the end of summer which is quickly approaching. >> for more, let's check in with chuck todd of nbc's "meet the press." >> first, what factors do you think will play into biden's decision to enter this race? >> i really think it's all personal. i have talked to people very close to him. ultimately this is about whether is he ready to give up his own ambition. let's remember, i think sometimes we forget that politicians are human beings and obviously, he has been mourning the loss of his son. but there's another aspect that we forget. if he announces he's not going to run, this is it. he's announcing the end of his political career. think of athletes who struggle with the decision to retire, knowing that they will never play the game again. that's what's facing joe biden this time. i think that's always wearing on him a little bit. he spent more than half his life with one eye pursuing the white house. i think all of this is personal. i really don't think, he already knows it's an uphill battle. he already knows it's probably very very difficult. the question he's got to answer for himself is number one, does he want -- is it better for his family to do this? it may be. it may be good for the healing process, or not. number two, will he regret not trying. >> chuck, it seems hillary clinton is taking steps to discourage biden from actually making a run? >> i think she's absolutely doing that, in very subtle ways but sort of flexing her campaign muscle. so notice what we have seen over the last couple of weeks. they have earlied up a bunch of endorsements, whether key people in iowa, today at the democratic national committee. it's clear she's trying to send a message to the vice president if you choose to do this, know it's going to be a very difficult task. >> chuck todd live in washington, d.c. thank you very much for taking the time. for more analysis on biden as well as the latest on the presidential race, watch "meet the press" sunday at 10:30 right here on nbc 10. turning to sports,

it will stay comfortable, humidity stays low and one thing in the forecast that we are certainly watching, not our local forecast, but we are watching tropical storm erika. the track did shift. florida is paying very close attention to this storm as they should be, going into early next week. i will show you that in just a second. otherwise, our weekend looks great. hot temperatures in the forecast but it does look to be rain-free. we are also talking about the heat bringing us our next heat wave. we could be looking at heat wave number five as early as starting this sunday. a live look at cape may, lot of people at the beach. you need the umbrella. it is sunny out there in cape may and along the shore and the delaware beaches right now. temperatures 77 degrees in cape may. humidity's low, only around 42%. feels really comfortable at the shore. even through the lehigh valley, 81 degrees allentown. 80 in reading and pottstown. 84 degrees in philadelphia. 82 wilmington. 77 in dover. 78 degrees, atlantic city airport. these temperatures will actually be higher tomorrow afternoon at this time, then even hotter into sunday. but we will stay dry. radar's nice and dry right now. the closest rain is moving into green bay. but for the eagles game tomorrow, the good news is the rain will be gone by the time the game starts so we are looking at a dry eagles game later on tomorrow night. future weather for we have a pleasant evening in store. pleasant night for you. temperatures for some areas still dropping down to the 50s. then we get hotter tomorrow afternoon. for your saturday, we stay dry, lot of sunshine but temperatures into about the mid to upper 80s. by sunday, the heat continues, the dry pattern continues, too. temperatures by then around 90 degrees. if you are heading to the shore or delaware beaches this weekend, looking pretty good. saturday and sunday both. temperatures will be in just about the mid to low 80s. so very nice weekend there. and the uv index, because of the heat in place and the sunshine, will be high. skin damage in about 15 minutes. make sure you wear the sun block. an update on tropical storm erika, it is still spinning in the caribbean but is moving over the dominican republic. still a tropical storm moving to the west at 21 miles an hour. so here's the center of it. it is moving over land now. as it continues moving to the west we expect it to be encountering cuba, too, eventually at least by tomorrow afternoon. the land interaction here could be weakening it back down to a depression. but if it re-emerges back into the gulf of mexico or at least south of key west, the florida straits, we are looking at possibly increasing back to a tropical storm. florida is going to be watching this very closely early monday afternoon. they could be looking at quite a bit of rainfall from this. then if it continues over land, you see the cone gets wider as we go farther out in time. that's the uncertainty. the land interaction would continue weakening the storm. of course, we will have updates later on tonight and over the weekend. tonight, clear and comfortable. mid 60s in philadelphia, low 50s north and west. another cool start to the morning but a warmer afternoon. mid to upper 80s. sunday, around 90 degrees. the 90s continue into next week. could see a chance of thunderstorms monday but take a look at those 90s in the forecast. that is why we have another heat wave. could be lasting all week. a mother in disbelief. her toddler left a south jersey day care and walked home by himself. >> their

walk from the day care to his house but this 3-year-old had to cross a busy street all by himself. >> i don't know what to think. i'm in disbelief. >> reporter: she says what was even worse was the day care's response when she called them. she says they didn't even know he was missing. >> she had nothing to say. she just apologized and said it wouldn't happen anymore. >> reporter: we went to the day care to get some answers but employees wouldn't talk with us. she did file a complaint and we did see a state inspector visit the building. >> it's obvious something is going on. i don't want it happening to any other kid. >> that was michael george reporting. for now the day care is still open. they are still taking care of kids but have one last customer. she is never bringing her son there
