You can also call the National Adoption center at 1866doadopt. Now, your nbc 10 first alert weather. All right. Were starting with a look at radar and satellite map. Nice wide picture to show you over us just some thin high clouds in place, otherwise no rain to track. Then you look across the entire board, theres no rain to track anywhere near us. That is a good thing. We dont have a front or storm system edging our direction to ruin your weekend plans. Instead, it looks like a pretty good saturday and sunday moving forward. 84 degrees today in philadelphia, 83 tomorrow. Thats pretty much the theme. Low 80s for the suburbs, Lehigh Valley upper 70s at the jersey shore. And low 80s to upper 70s in delaware. Now, one thing to note, we just saw this a minute ago going over our future model, some isolated showers are possible today but they will be very spotty, light in nature and short lived. So you can certainly do things outdoors, you just got to plan for maybe a spot shower rolling by briefly in the afternoon. Lets talk shore and delaware beaches because theres a rip current risk in place. Moderate risk today throughout all of our viewing area. Just make sure youre checking with beach patrols in the area, maybe dangerous conditions. Now, best thing you can do is really to avoid getting in the water because jose just churning up the waters out there. So its going to get worse from here. Likely elevated to a high risk by tomorrow and especially monday. And then that will likely be tuesday and wednesday as well. Also a Small Craft Advisory in place. Same deal delaware beaches, jersey shore for building waves up to six feet, dangerous boating conditions as a result. Again, this is something i think we are going to see for the next several days because joses just going to be getting closer and closer to us as we progress. In fact, what were looking at right now is joses finally starting to break away from that looping path it had been sitting in for about a week. So watch the latest model here rather update from the National Hurricane center showing it staying parallel and running along the east coast. This is from today right on through your sunday, right through your monday morning. Still at a category 1 hurricane. Then it may possibly downgrade as it approaches our area between early tuesday and early wednesday. Now, whats important here is not necessarily the red line. While it looks likely it will stay out to sea, you see the cone here showing that the possible path waver very close to our shore. In fact, i measured this out its only about 175 miles from that red line to the shore. Now, on days four to five the error is about 175 miles. So theres certainly room for this to get closer and that would impact us locally even more so. But regardless we are going to feel the impacts. For philadelphia may just be showers and thunderstorms and gusty conditions, but at the jersey shore and delaware beaches, steady rain is certainly possible. Minor coastal flooding and beach erosion possible, gusts 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour and rough seas as a result. So right now were putting that at the moderate threat zone. If jose were to track closer to us, that would mean a higher risk for the shores and delaware beach points. This is something well watch closely over the next several days but does look like right now regardless well feel some impacts locally along our shore points. We are getting closer to learning the fate of the frank rizzo statue in philadelphia. The time for the public to send in their ideas is over. Well tell you how many people weighed in and what happens next. An annual charity race targeted by a bomber last year is set to get under way this morning at the jersey shore. Well take you there coming up. The future of the controversial frank rizzo statue in philadelphia is now in the citys hands after receiving feedback. City Officials Say more than 3,000 people weighed in on the statue of the former philadelphia mayor. The city took opinions online and by mail over the past three weeks. The feedback campaign followed rallies and vandalism of the statue by people demanding its removal. The city says it will not consider petitions in making its final decisions. We will continue to follow this. On thursday this past week the rizzo statue in center city got a bit of company, crews installed a 12foot tall entitled all power to all people. Unveiled as a counterbalance to the statue of the late mayor and Police Commissioner who many said did not have a healthy relationship with many in the Africanamerican Community in philadelphia. The phils saw win streak snapped as they welcome the athletics back to philadelphia. The starting pitcher in this case ended up hitting it out there, you can see here matt joyce ripped a home run over the right field fence and that would be enough for oakland. Phillies get shut out 40. All right. Lets talk some birds now. The countdown to kickoff is on. Eagles and chiefs play tomorrow at 1 00 at arrowhead stadiu
