All right, in case you didnt know, already, another day of hot and humid temperatures and guess what, we lets begin with lonnie quinn in the Weather Center with the very latest for us. Lonnie . Here is the picture outside, as of right now. Clouds but for the most part, mostly sunny skies. 89 degrees. Feels like 92. Earlier in the day it maxed out at 91 and felt like 95 or 96. That is day number five of our heat wave. Will tomorrow be day number six . It is going to be close. We have a heat advisory right now. In effect until 8 00 p. M. And this will get repeated for your day tomorrow. More counties. It is going to be close. It is going to be close to that 90degree mark. Now, whether you hit it or you dont, it is going to feel like youre into the 90s. It will feel like 95 tomorrow. And we are forecast for new york city, around 89 degrees. And i think another big story tomorrow, will be the thunderstorms, kicking in. We dont see too much activity today. Here is the line in central pennsylvania, getting closer to us. And you can start to see some of the leading activity, but it is after midnight tonight, and then tomorrow, during the day, you could crack a shower or storm. It could be heavy. Will be checking in with that as it gets closer and closer to us. I want to be checking in with one of my colleagues. Here is a question for you. Is the air conditioner in your home having trouble keeping up with all of the weather . Because yes, it is hot. But that heat and humidity makes it feel even hotter. And some air conditioners are having a tough time. And repair Companies Say the phones are ringing off the hook. Consequently my colleague is joining us from mount vernon where like everybody else it is hot and humid out there. Elise, what do you lonnie, youre absolutely right. We have the mobile weather lab in mount vernon, in my hometown, like any other area in the tristate area, the air conditioners are working overtime. The instrumentation on the weather lab is telling us the temperature and the relative humidity in this location. As we go to the back, you will notice we are getting a reading of 89. 7 and the relative humidity is at 41 , 42 making it feel like it is 3993 degrees. This is better than it has been definitely taking a toll on air conditioning unities. Thousands of them. Service calls are up. And the machines are not built to withstand the use they are getting right now. The heat and the humidity these past four days have been difficult to endure, especially for people whose air conditioning units stopped working. I live in the attic and it is almost like there is fire, it is almost like, you know, im in a fireplace, it is in my room, i cant breathe. Inside, where it is unbearable. Very uncomfortable. George says he went right out and bought a new window unit when his broke. Because he couldnt stay in his apartment without it. For people with central air conditioning systems, the fix is not usually as quick. Because it requires a technician. But experts say similar breakdowns are totally expected during these kinds of heat waves. You get into a period like this, where it really has to work at its maximum capacity, for a prolonged period. And thats why it is going to break down. All, thats when 12 going to break down. Mario bruni is president of the air Conditioning Company in elmsford and says calls are tripled in the past week and the repairs take time so they use the bright yellow temporary units to get peoples homes cooled quickly until they can schedule a complete repair or installation of a new system. And if your central air conditioning system fails and waiting for help to arrive, there are a few things you can do. First, clean the air filters. A clogged or dirty filter can second, check the outdoor unit and make sure the coils are not clogged with glass clippings or dirt. If they are, clean them. And third, take a garden hose and wet the coils on the outside unit. The moisture will cool the coils and might help the unit work better. At least temporarily. Now, he also says when it comes to window units, oftentimes the only answer is to replace it and of course thats what many people have had to do during this heat wave. Live in mount vernon with the mobile weather lab, lonnie, i will tell you that the highest heat index we had all weekend long on the jersey shore, 116 degrees. Oooh, wow, really . Just missed a record. Thank you very much, lonnie. Thanks, lonnie. Now to campaign 2016, joe Biden Joining Hillary Clinton at a rally today sharing his thoughts on donald trump.

And he also wants to shut down terrorist access to the internet. Blasting Hillary Clinton, he said the rise of isis was on her watc of decisions she and president obama made, while she was secretary of state. Friends should not let friends vote for trump. Before trumps speech, Hillary Clinton appealed to supporters in scranton, pennsylvania. Reiterating her message that trump is not fit to keep america safe against isis. He has talked about sending ground troops. American ground troops. Well, that is off the table. The Vice President slammed the republican nominee, saying no major Party Candidate has been less prepared to deal with national security. What absolutely amazes me, that he doesnt seem to want to learn it. The Siena Research institute has the former first lady ahead by whopping marginnens in new york state, 57 to 27 . More than doubling trump agency numbers. And a new cbs poll shows her win can right now, in the swing states, of New Hampshire winning rig states of New Hampshire, florida and georgia.

A scare at kennedy airport, passengers ducking for cover and seeking shelter on the tarmac after false reports of gunfire shut down two term nams last night. What if youre in the airport and something happens . Well, cbs 2 message message reports, some feel a reagan medgi reports, some plans should be in place. And passengers panics in jfk after woo word spread about gunshots in one of the terminals. We are being apprised of gunshots. R. Put in action the active shooter plan at this time. And panic continues as police stormed the terminal and people made their way outside spilling into roadways and the dar mack made some wonder, what would they do . Where do you go . We were trying to Contact Port Authority police and we were told no one was available and wanted to know about emergency evacuation procedures before you board your flight. Because yesterday, passengers werent informed. They should have know in case of emergency, use these terminals, these exits. A security expert says hundreds of people did the right thing last night. They got outside of the airport terminal. But he says what they should have also done is keep moving. Manny gomez is a former marine. And nypd sergeant and fbi agent. And he now runs a security service. Watching our video from last night, gomez had a few suggestions. They have to have a better plan as to what to do with these people. To inform them. To keep them from the terminal. The message to everybody, be aware of something that is going on. You have to think about your own safety. Forget your flight. Forget your luggage. Forget everything. Just get as far away from that terminal as possible. It is good to have all of the information ready, so they can make their way out. And out of harms way. Without as much panic and confusion as passengers experienced last night. At jfk airport, reagan medgie, trash. Complaints about garbage being left behind are way up. But why . Thats what we asked, and wait until you hear the citys explanation. My whole life, savings, everything is in that home. Bracing with the rising flood waters, while people watch everything they own fall under the surface. Their dramatic rescues playing out in louisiana. And it is an odd law that has been on the books for decades. What lawmakers want to change about local Funeral Homes we love the new York State Fair two words. Piglet races wine slushees. Bonding time. Fried everything theres so many bands. The bands those pigs are just so cute cheesecake, on a stick. A rollercoaster with all new fairgrounds, more rides and more fun. From august 25th to september 5th in syracuse, new york. Order tickets before opening day for just 6. Its all here, its only here. But how did we end up here . His mom thought he had the flu and that he was covered by the meningococcal meningitis vaccine he had received. Until 2014 there were no vaccines for meningitis b in the u. S. Now there are. While uncommon, meningitis b can lead to death within 24 hours. Trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. Trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. Most common side effects were injectionsite pain, fatigue. Headache, muscle pain, and chills. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if youve received any other meningitis b vaccines. Meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like. A drink. A spoon. A kiss. It all started here. It might have been prevented with trumenba. 1960, there has been a ban on serving food in new jersey. And Steve Langford reports from west new york, there could be a change on the menu. Food at a funeral home, a concept that struck even the new jersey lawmakers sponsoring a bill in support of this, as unappetizing. I was like, i dont know. Since 1960, it has been against the law to serve any because of Public Health concerns. Something Assembly Woman Nancy Pinkett is now open to changing. Youre not having the individual laid out where you are doing the embalming in the first place. It sounds like a good idea. Funeral home director anthony bedari is cautiously open to the idea of food service at a funeral service. It is not disgusting. It would have to be sanitized by the local health codes and stuff like that. On the streets of west new york, there is a certain distaste for the proposal. I dont think they should be allowed to serve food. It is time for people to mourn, not to eat and celebrate. It is not respectful to be eating inside a funeral home. Supporters are suggesting modest comfort food like coffee, cookies, and sand witch. Not suggesting full course meals. No, i dont think so. Tea and sympathy. In west new york, new jersey, Steve Langford, cbs 2 news. New york announced its intention to drop its ban at food at Funeral Homes. The death toll of the devastating floods in southern louisiana has climbed to six. And some of the water is receding and residents are starting to assess the damage, more rain is in the forecast. Cbs 2 don champion is live from baton rouge with the latest. Don . Reporter good evening, all day today, in many hardhit neighborhoods like the one im standing in, the party has been receding at a pret the water good pace.

Kimberly tried to salvage what little she could from her home. Im devastated. Ive cried all day. My whole life savings, many here. More than 20 inches of rain drenched south louisiana. Over the weekend. Leaving entire communities under water. One of the weather forecasters said it is like a tropical event, like a hurricane, without the wind. The deluge stranded thousands of residents leading to dramatic rescues on the air and on the ground. Even though the water level is dropping in some parts of baton rouge, there is real waterways there could crest in the coming days, causing even more flooding. This morning, air boats were still being used to rescue stranded residents. Since the water started rising, volunteers have also pitched in. Im so glad youre helping.

Were in baton rouge, louisiana, don champion, cbs 2 news. Thanks very much. Were hearing from the re you probably saw this video from baton rouge on saturday. A car was sinking fast when a rescue boat arrived. Dramatic video shows the rescuer in the water, pulling the trapped woman from the car. Along with her tiny dog. The first instinct was to get a hold of her and pull her out. And i couldnt do it from the boat so i just jumped in. That car was completely submerged. And i was just taking a deep deep breath and held it and kept feeling around and felt something furry and yanked the dog out. Incredible job there. About 20,000 people have been rescued from flooding across louisiana. Now turning to the weather in our area, any storms in our forecast . Not as serious as that.

There is a 30 chance or greater for inland areas to see Severe Weather tomorrow. And all of those counties shaded in green, about a 20 chance. And new york city, sort of is as we look ahead. Another soupy night out there. Maybe not as bad but a soupy muggy night. And the severe storms are possible for your day tomorrow. It feels like 95 to 100. Even though we may not get to the 90degree mark on the thermometer. Were going to be close. But even if you dont get there, it feels close to triple digits tomorrow.
