And, of course temperature pretty high. Way higher than yesterday and we got up to 81 yesterday. Theres the red flag warning from 1 00 to 8 00 p. M. For much of the area for that increased fire danger and that, of course, is partly going to depend on the wind, the wind direction out of the southwest, and right now the speed is not very much at all. Less than ten miles an hour and for the true fire danger it would probably have to be more than 20. So were not there yet. Its 78 in reading and mt. Holly and dover and allentown even at this hour.

Reporter the latest advice from dermatologists use a sunscreen with an spf of at least 30 every day. Reapplying every two hours if youre out in weather like this. And ladies while spf in makeup is helpful, the experts say it does not replace a thick even slather of sunscreen for the face.

Well talk about that now because that Campaign Wraps up with a big event tomorrow that we want you to be aware of so joining us is Julie Hershey director of Community Relations from the Philadelphia Eagles and shes here with Sheldon Jones who is with Verizon Wireless. Thank you for being here. Lets start with julie. The nfl, lets face it big black eye last year given the ray rice situation and other highprofile Domestic Violence cases. The nfl has been working really hard to address those issues. What have the eagles done specifically . The eagles have been working with Verizon Wireless actually for ten years. Long before ray rice came along. Long standing partnership. Sheldon and i have been working together on this for years where weve done everything from collect phones to be redistributed to families that could use them and then the parts are also sold raising money for the issue as well. So its been something weve been doing for years. Were really really proud of it and just this campaign is the next step in that process. These are cell phones old cell phones that people have donated. Maybe they trade in and upgrade their plan and trade in for a new phone. These are phones people have donated through verizon that this campaign is turning around and giving to Domestic Violence victims. Yes. For years we used to do the collection at the stadium but now its so much more widespread. You can go to any Verizon Wireless store and drop off your cell phone and everybody has done their Spring Cleaning gone through their house and what do you find . Cell phones everywhere. Old pieces. If you bring them to any one of the Verizon Wireless stores drop them in one of the bins they can go to be useful to something else. The reality of this is that all of these phones the ones that are working, can make a 911 call and lets face it thats first step sadly often in getting had ep to these sheldon, tell us about verizons effort in this. You have been doing this for a long time. What have you heard from people in the community who have benefited from these phones . First of all i want to thank julie for her partnership. The eagles and other partners we have had have helped us raise awareness of this issue. We hear messages positive messages about the impact this program has had on lives of folks who have been the victims of domestic abuse. I think when i look at it and i look back over the 15 years or so almost two decades we have been doing this program, part of the value of it is that we started it as a program that was helping victims of abuse. Now its transformed into a program thats helping empower victims of abuse so they use our technology not only to escape an abusive situation or to have Emergency Contact but they can use it as a utility phone for employment job seeking. So i think what were looking at now is were in a rebuilding phase where ear empowering these people. Its an avenue to gain help in all areas of peoples lives and its made a lot of difference and we know a lot of people appreciate what verizon and the Philadelphia Eagles have done. Their Campaign Wraps up with an event tomorrow. Its a big event. Lets tell people about it. Pass along hope is at the new Verizon Wireless smart store in springfield, delaware county. Its a new store. It is a great new store. We have several in the area. It is a concept where we really bring Wireless Technology to our customers in a fun and interactive way. So folks who come out tomorrow in our springfield store location springfield shopping center, theyre able to play with some very cool wireless devices but at the same time theyll be able to certainly lend their awareness and support for a very important cause. So we would invite everyone to come out and join us and help us close this out. And bring your used phones. Bring the no longer needed cell phones. Even if its broken they can sell the parts.

Now, your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. In our weather app this afternoon its going to be showing temperatures going up and up and up getting close to the 90 degree mark in some areas. But when you get too much warmth it drys out the ground plus we havent had any measurable rain in 12 straight days. Weve got a fire threat, red flag warning issued by the National Weather service to highlight that. Very warm start to the week and we are tracking the possibility of some thunderstorms and, of course, we need some of this rain. Its totally blue out there now. 76 degrees already. The average high is 70 so remember we were really cold a week or so ago . In the 50s . Now were going to get well into the 80s. Only sevenmileanhour wind though and the wind picks up this afternoon and that will increase the fire threat and also blow some of this pollen around. Very high today, not quite as high tomorrow, and then we drop down on wednesday because a front is coming down maybe some rain that will help wash some of the pollen out of the air. Then it starts going back up on thursday and it will probably be high for friday and next weekend as well. The wind is coming out of the southwest keeping it warm but the speed still not picking up that much and so the fire threat increases as the wind increases because that makes it spread so much more quickly. Were in the mid to upper 70s across the area but its 80 already Atlantic City international. Now is it 80 right at the beaches though . Well lets find out with that southwest wiped. Its 66 in avalon 68 in beach haven. The lake city airport is well inland and sometimes not exactly representative of what were seeing right at the beach. A nice sea breeze yesterday walking on the boardwalk. It was delightful. The red flag warning not so delightful delightful, 1 00 to 8 00 p. M. All of new jersey and eastern pennsylvania for that fire threat. Lots of dry air in the east we dont necessarily need. Here somscomes come showers. This front will be coming through, but theres still not going to be that much moisture with it as you see. Look at this. Tomorrow morning theres practically nothing on there. The warm southwest wind. There may be some build up showers, a couple storms during the afternoon and early evening, but not everybody is going to get rain. Then the northerly winds come down and it gets cooler it gets a little drier as we go into wednesday, but this warm front, thats going to knock the temperature right back up and you can see the warm air that gets pushed down on wednesday is right back up there towards the end of the week and next weekend looks warm as well. Sunny and very warm, some might call it hot. High temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Some places could touch 90. And then tomorrow mid80s. Chance of an afternoon thunderstorm. Most of the day dry and parts of the area will stay dry, too. Its cooler everywhere on wednesday, and then it starts warming up on thursday. Thats really pleasant but here we go into those very warm temperatures for friday and over next weekend and if we dont get the rain tomorrow we dont have big prospects for the rest of the week. Well be right back. Theres over two hundred thousand students in philadelphia. Jim kenney and Tony Williams are fighting over Public Schools versus charters. I think theyre both wrong. Its making sure they all get a good education. Teachers should have their contracts respected. They also should be held accountable. And its wrong philadelphia gets less School Funding than other parts of pennsylvania. Ill work with harrisburg to change that. But if they refuse ill take them to federal court. As mayor ill do whats right for them. An update on our top story. Two normer political allies of Chris Christie were formally charged this morning in connection with the jersey jam scandal.
