I parked here, thinking there would be an option of a number of trains, but three have passed since ive been here. Septa tells us five lines had to be turned around. Express trains today due to crowding on the trains. They bypassed the glenside and jenkins town train station. Septa was able to get trains back up to passengers at those stations for service.

And a temple tour will consist of a short video, where it will present the purpose of a temple, as well as the significance to church members. They will then walk across the street and tour all four levels of the temple, seeing all the significant rules and the beautiful workmanship there. And then theyll go to a reception area if they have any questions there. And even among latter day saints, they dont all get to go see the inside of a temple. This will be unique more people who are not of the lds faith. Lds members will be able go to the temple once its dedicated in september.

You dont want to be outside for an extended period of time, the middle of the day like this, its going to be very hot, and aside from that, youll want to stay hydrated. It will be hot at the phillies game today. Live look at the radar, theres some rain south of sussex county. Theres a chance we could see a shower along the beaches today in sussex county. Otherwise, we dont have any rain relief in the forecast today, not until tomorrow afternoon. Were going to have maybe a few showers tomorrow afternoon, but its not going to be too much.

Today more riders discovered there was no space for them on Regional Rail trains. There are 120 fewer trains on the tracks and septa is running on a saturday schedule. Conductors acted as crowd control, making sure doors could close and ensuring passengers more trains were coming. And now we turn to Sheena Parveen with a look at the afternoon weather. Hot. Its going to be hot and humid, vai. Its going to feel like triple digits out there, especially as we go into tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Tomorrow, friday, saturday, all in the 90s with a few afternoon thunderstorms, but that is a heat wave. It starts with today and all we need for a heat wave is three days of 90degree plus temperatures. Going into the weekend, there you see those 90s on saturday. Sunday will be drier and temperatures still around 90, but now we look into next week. The heat is going to continue. It looks like around 90 degrees, still. So thats not going anywhere anytime soon. We still have the excessive heat warning from today until friday. So basically, that just says this could be potentially dangerous heat, when you factor in the humidity. Stay hydrated. You want to avoid several hours outside in this heat. Check on the elderly. Never leave children and pets in the car. That is a very bad idea. The temperature in a car shoots up incredibly quickly, when you have the doors and windows closed. And look at this heat across the board. You dont want to be doing that at all. We dont want to hear any of those stories happening. Be safe out there, definitely stay hydrated, especially if youre going to the phillies game today, its going to be a hot one. We warn people every day, but still it happens, locking kids and animals in cars. Im vai sikahema and for Sheena Parveen and everyone here at nbc 10, have a great day. Stay cool out there.
