computer models are pretty much in agreement that it will keep heading west in that direction. as we go through the weekend, the models here, this is the official track from the hurricane center, is forecasting it to possibly become a category 2 hurricane over the weekend as it approaches the lesser antilles which could possibly put it in the caribbean. of course we will be watching for further

in ocean county where we saw a lot of people enjoying the bay. nice conditions to be boating today. but if you were outside you needed to stay hydrated, find the shade. temperatures were still around 90 degrees for most of the area. so the heat wave continues with our temperatures hitting 90 today. storms return in the forecast so as we go into the next few days rain chances are going to be increasing. when you see the rain, that will at least help cool your temperatures down. we are also watching the tropics. we have a new tropical storm pretty far away but still, it's one of the named storms, one of the few so far this hurricane season. i will show you that in just a minute. mostly cloudy in philadelphia, clouds will keep increasing overnight tonight. patchy fog, too, more clouds around tomorrow. temperatures are still pretty hot, around 88 degrees, feeling more like the low 90s across the area with the humidity. it's 90 degrees in allentown, 87 reading, 89 in pottstown, 86 wilmington, mid 80s for much of new jersey. also delaware. still pretty hot and humid. tonight is going to be warm and humid, too. that will really help with the fog that we expect at least through part of the area. right now we are clear but we do have showers and storms off to our west. most of these storms appear to be moving straight from south to north so i think we will miss a lot of this. the best chance would be in our extreme western counties like lancaster, possibly near berks county. most of the area will be staying dry for the rest of tonight. lot of moisture around the northeast and also off to the west around chicago. that's rain we can expect as we go from thursday into friday. i think that will be the best rain chance across this week. we look way down in the atlantic. this is tropical storm danny. this is far away, right off the western coast of the cape verde islands which is right off the coast of africa. it hasn't even entered the caribbean yet. it's still in what we consider the tropical atlantic. max winds are 40 miles an hour, barely making it a tropical storm. it's moving to the west at 12 miles an hour. it's moving in the direction of the caribbean right now. over the weekend, we could easily see it heading into the caribbean as well. now the national hurricane center track here continues moving it west saturday and sunday, possibly strengthening it to a category 2 hurricane. as of now, conditions could be pretty favorable for this tropical storm to develop but of course, over the weekend, still very far away from the united states even. we'll have a much better idea as we get closer on that. here's a look at future weather. locally with our rain, we don't expect much as we go into the overnight hours tonight, but by tomorrow morning, 8:00 a.m., pretty different than what we have around now. more clouds moving in. we could see some morning showers for part of the morning commute and then through the afternoon, we will still have those rain chances but they could be mostly west of the philadelphia area. that's by 5:00. i don't think we will have widespread rain tomorrow. then we go into thursday, rain chances are still going to be around, especially later in the day thursday and we could have a line of heavier showers and storms move in as we go into friday. so once that rain actually gets here thursday and friday, our temperatures will start to drop down into the 80s so our heat wave will get broken. the cooler temperatures are coming and until that rain moves by it will still stay humid outside. tonight, warm and humid, patchy fog late tonight. mid 70s for the low in philadelphia, upper 60s north and west. tomorrow, it will be another humid day. hot and humid, chance of some thunderstorms in the morning hours, we could see some, too. temperatures still around 90 degrees. it's still going to be pretty hot through part of the afternoon hours but if we do hit 90, we will still be in the heat wave. thursday and friday, we expect to be out of the heat wave. temperatures in the mid 80s into the weekend, looks great for the eagles saturday. less humidity, temperatures in the mid 80s. saturday will be really nice. by sunday, the humidity comes right back and it stays around as we go into next week. preparing for the pope and all of the visitors who come with him. how one town in delaware

relief in sight? >> yes, there is relief in sight from the 90s because we are still in the heat wave. it's not today. today we still feel like the low 90s when you factor in the humidity. right now we are at 88 degrees in philadelphia, 89 northeast philly. 90 degrees in allentown. fu want some relief, you have to head to the shore. wildwood is coming in at 82 degrees. even interior sections of new jersey like millville coming in at 83, dover coming in at 83 degrees, too. some areas have managed to get down into the low 80s this afternoon but overall it is still hot and humid outside. tomorrow it's still going to be humid but we will be dealing with our increase in rain chances which will hopefully help cool you down. today we got to the low 90s so we are still in the heat wave. tomorrow we could still be around 90 degrees. thursday and friday, temperatures will start to drop down a bit more to where they should be this time of year, and a lot of that will be because of some rain we expect to hold the temperatures down. locally we haven't seen much in the way of rain, just some clouds passing by. the rain's off to the west. a lot of these showers and storms are moving straight up to the north so i think we will just stay dry through this evening, too. tomorrow, we see a little more in the way of showers and storms across the area. we will talk about the timing coming up. as for the rest of the evening, by 6:00 p.m., mid 80s, still hot and humid outside. more clouds as we go overnight tonight. by 8:00 p.m., low 80s, warm and humid. by 10:00, temperatures in the upper 70s. we could be looking at late patchy fog developing. then the rain chances start to increase as we go through the next few days. finally we will see a break from the humidity. also we have a new tropical storm in the atlantic. we will talk about all that coming up. new information on the investigation into a 14-year-old boy who officers shot in trenton earlier this month. investigators

pope and you know him just as a normal everyday man or in this case, archbishop? well, two of the men who worked with him knew him simply as father jorge. he was their boss at the television station run by the church. this video was shared with us. we know the pope does not watch tv but he still believed in the power of the medium and had his own tv show and interfaith program. one of the most surprising insights, he rarely smiled. father jorge was known as a rather stern down-to-business kind of guy. >> now when he smiles all the time we say wow, he didn't do that in argentina. how is it. and i had the privilege to be with him in october 2013 and i asked come on, you didn't smile that way when we were with you, and he said well, if you had asked me a year ago that i would be doing

communicator, she said, and benevolent. he does have a good sense of humor even though he didn't smile a lot when they were working with him. they told a story about how julio who actually runs the station got so upset one morning, he was arguing with father jorge that later that day, the man who would later become pope came back to administer the last rites to julio. they all got a good laugh out of that. they also told us that pope francis was convinced that the day he was heading to rome for the election, the conclave, he was convinced he would be coming back to argentina, he was not

firefighters on the ground. this is the first time that's happened since 2006. in washington, about 75 homes have already been destroyed. take a look at this. you have seen a tornado before but what about a firenado? firefighters shot this video of one in boise, idaho saturday. he says it was shooting flames 100 feet into the air while dropping hot dirt and ash on firefighters' helmets. with those fire tornadoes, it's really the heat that creates the wind that creates that fire tornado so it's kind of a vicious cycle at that point. more locally we are still in a heat wave across the area. we hit 92 degrees today in philadelphia so the heat wave continues. if you were outside, i'm sure you could tell the humidity made it feel hotter, too. but the storms will be returning in the forecast. that means our temperatures will start to cool off so we will finally get back into the 80s, breaking the heat wave. we are also watching the tropics. it's been a quiet hurricane season but now we have a new tropical storm out in the atlantic. don't worry, it's really far away. i will show you that in just a minute. 90 degrees in allentown. 89 degrees in pottstown. 88 philadelphia. 89 in bensalem. we still have hot spots right now but some cooler areas are in new jersey and delaware. 83 in dover and millville. also atlantic city. if you are along the shore in cape may, this is one area where temperatures are closer to 80 degrees so here's a live look. you can tell it's gotten a little cloudier. we will see an increase in cloud cover as we go through the overnight hours, also into tomorrow. that's when our rain chances go up. right now we are nice and dry on radar. any showers and storms are just to our west. i think they will just stay to our west. they are mostly moving to the north. a live look at center city from the adventure aquarium. dry conditions, still hot and humid, but we are seeing just about a mix of sun and clouds. more clouds overnight tonight. that patchy fog developing late tonight, too. we have quite a bit of moisture across the northeast, even though we are dry. we have a lot of humidity around. more rain back around chicago. that will be here thursday into friday. so more rain chances by then. now we are looking at the tropical atlantic just off the coast of the cape verde islands. little closer to africa here. this is tropical storm danny. this one just developedsmmq thi afternoon. it intensified from a tropical depression. maximum sustained winds 40 miles an hour so it's barely a tropical storm but it is forecast to increase in intensity. conditions may be favorable for this as it continues traveling west around 12 miles an hour which would put it in the direction of the caribbean by this weekend. here is the official track from the national hurricane center. traveling to the west as we go into saturday and sunday, possibly a category 2 hurricane by then. we have to pay very close attention as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours to see what the intensity looks like by then. but a lot of computer models are trying to intensify this thing. by sunday it will still be very far away from the united states. of course, we will be having more updates by then as well. a look at future weather, we stay mostly dry tonight with patchy fog late. by tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m., we could be seeing some showers across the area. for the morning commute, keep that in mind. through the afternoon, still a slight chance of some showers, mostly west of philadelphia. then we go into thursday. temperatures could be more into the mid 80s on thursday, breaking a heat wave. but notice the clouds around. still a chance for scattered showers through thursday afternoon and then by friday. we could have a line of heavier showers move through and this will of course bring temperatures down into the 80s again, and the humidity will still be here but then once that rain passes, the humidity is going to drop off and the perfect timing is it will be here to start your weekend. for tonight, warm and humid, patchy fog late, mid 70s for the low in philadelphia, upper 60s north and west. then tomorrow, we will see another hot and humid day. could still be around 90 degrees. chance of some thunderstorms in the morning hours, could see some in the afternoon, too. by thursday, and going into early friday, through the afternoon,
