He should be president , a night a lifetime in the making. He takes the stage tonight at 77, the oldest nominee in american history. His first run for president in 1987 undone by charges of plagiarism. In 2008, eclipsed by the star power of Hillary Clinton and barack obama. And four years ago it appears his political career was over when clinton won the nomination with the quiet help of president obama. But the shocking win of donald trump in 2016 made this nomination possible. Hell argue tonight, joe biden, that it makes his election necessary. Speaker after speaker at this convention made the case that President Trump is not up to the job, that he plunged the nation into crisis and poses a danger to our democracy. Most by barack obama, an attack by a president on a sitting president. That case being made by the member of the greatest generation, 92yearold ed wood. I have been a republican since 1960s. Im a member of the nra, and i voted for trump. I think trump has been the worst pre
Strong storms developing this afternoon. Very heavy rainfall and lightning moving through eastern york county and into the lancaster area. If this holes together, it could be in Chester County within the hour. And heading towards other parts of the delaware valley. It is a line of storms moving through not only the new york and the philadelphia area but to our southwest and later today, theres a possibility well be looking at more showers and thunderstorms with the threat greatest in delaware and south jersey. The possibility of Severe Weather could include damaging winds and a threat of hail possibly even tornadoes later today. Were tracking this storm right now. Ill have your neighborhood by neighborhood forecast when i come back in ten minutes. Lets get a look at traffic with jessica boyington. You said it bill not much in terms of traffic so far.

Later in the day. Bill . Im tracking the storms on the first alert radar, a line of storms moving to the eve at 40 miles an hour. Its a fast mover. When we went on the air at 4 00 this morning, these storms were moving through york county and now Lancaster County has seen them clear. But they are raging through portions of Chester County and into Delaware County. Some of the heaviest rainfall crossing into Delaware County. These storms are on the move at 40 miles an hour. It wont take long for them to move to philadelphia. Could be here with the heavy rainfall by 5 30. As well as heavy rain theres a potential, you can see a potential for hail damaging winds. These storms could produce winds in excess of 60 miles an hour. Some very heavy rainfall within those storms but they are moving to the east. Those storms expected to be offshore by midday. Then well get sunshine and with heating well be back in the 90s this afternoon. That could fuel more storms that could turn severe later today.
Home tonight and thats an area that has the potential for severe storms later today and into the evening. Thats why we have the first alert out for that. There is the potential for some severe storms with damaging winds and maybe even a tornado or reports of large hail in parts of the area. The relative Severe Threat is relatively low for the flooding, but pretty high for lightning and high winds and a good bit higher than normal for hail, for example. That highest risk is for much of delaware and southern new jersey. The farther north and west you go, the lower the risk of any kind of storms, let alone severe storms. You can see the lull now is just nothing on the radar, but the future weather computers are suggesting we do get some buildups. Later this afternoon, after 2 00, 3 00 for the most part. Some of them very heavy and generally farther south. Theres one approaching the shore and then a few more later on this evening. But very little north and west of philadelphia. We are into
