Yeah, scary situation in parts of Mercer County as we have been dealing with steady rainfall and rainfall that is heavy at Times Leading to that flash flood event ongoing right now. Storm scan3 showing us most of the activity in and along the i95 corridor and points westward. Rainfall intensity is starting to pick up. This sloop three hours long so you can see that rain coming down steadily throughout that loop, time frame so were just piling up the rain at this point. This is Mercer County right here. The rain continuing to fall and the intensity starting to pick up a little bit in trenton up into the princeton area where we have seen that flooding. So far rainfall totals in the last three hours around parts of Mercer County up to five plus inches of rainfall and our doppler estimates thats why we have this Flash Flood Warning in effect for Mercer County until 10 15. Princeton is included within this warning. So its a really good time to just stay off the roads hang inside. West Windsor Township also under a flash flood emergency right now. That warning extending down to lawrence as well. As we well have this flash flooding concern over the next several hours. Never drive into flooded road wales. It only takes 6inches of fast moving water to knock down an adult and 12inches of water will float most vehicles. Remember turn around, dont drown. And we are going to see rain continuing to fall. The rain swath is going to spread east as we head into the next couple hours. Rainfall intensity will likely increase a bit in philadelphia and along the i95 corridor again as we push into the evening hours, some showers will approach the shore which has been mainly dry through the day today. We could see additional rainfall totals of about one to 2inches in some locations across the Delaware Valley and of course that will yield more street and possibly creek flooding so well talk about this situation and when well finally start to dry things out in your full forecast in a couple minutes. Lauren well see you soon. Fast rising flood waters caught some drivers by surprise stranding them inside their cars.

A live look right now well get a live look where we are seeing try weather, ocean city, beachgoers are like whats the problem . What rainfall . We havent seen any so far but you do see those clouds looming there in the scene and the rain is headed towards the coast as we head into the next couple of hours and we definitely have rain on the scene right now as we get a live look at center city philadelphia. Roadways are slick, low clouds are looming, rain coming down. Light in intensity at this time but as we head into the next couple hours well see our rain full intensity start to pick up. We have rain cooled air in place, 76 degrees right now with a calm wind. Checking in on our live Neighborhood Network check out this rainfall total so far in princeton. Over five and half inches of rainfall and this is just in the last several hours. Incredible. So we are still dealing with there flash flooding threat. Bethlehem a hearty total as well closing in on an inch and a half and reading pick up over an inch and a quarter of rainfall and the rain continues to fall in these areas and the rainfall intensity is picking up. On storm scan3 were noticing increasing pockets of yellow and red noting that heavier rainfall coming down right now across portions of berks county up into Montgomery County, bucks county as well, Lehigh Valley, rainfall intensity becoming more moderate as opposed to light and across portions of Mercer County we dont want to see this in and around the princeton area rainfall intensity is picking up and the rain is steady and we have more rain to contend with as we head into the next couple hours.

The shore is dry as it has been throughout the day today but we are going to see this widespread rain swath slowly move its way eastbound over the next several hours continuing that rain threat.

And more rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Breaks of sunshine and scattered storms redeveloping especially as we head into the second half of the day. Humid with a High Temperature at 88. Future weather showing us whats in store as we head into the evening hours. And that is much more rainfall as that swath spreads its way eastbound but still maintaining pockets of rainfall across our western counties as well and in and along the i95 corridor. Things will start to taper back a bit into the second half of the overnight period but even into early tomorrow morning, we still could see some hit or miss thundershowers lingering around across parts of the area especially in and around philadelphia and surrounding counties. So, for tomorrow, a hit or miss thunderstorm in the morning. Then i think we will have a dry period late morning into early afternoon with some sunshine breaking out but that will destabilize us. We have a stalled boundary in place so well see scattered storms redeveloping into the afternoon and continuing into the evening hours once again. But at least we have some rain cooled air. Thats the one nice thing. 76 degrees in philly, low 70s in the Lehigh Valley where we havent seen the rain down the shore, temperatures stim around 80 degrees and it is definitely muggy. Dewpoints way elevated up there into the 70s and we are going to be dealing with these humid conditions as we head into the next couple of days but ironically as we kick off the seconds day of august, the humidity levels are going to drop back and well finally dry out as we head into tuesday but wet weather in store for down the shore and the poconos tomorrow. High temperatures topping in the middle 70s in the poconos. We keep it in the upper 80s on monday in philadelphia with some spotty storms still in the forecast but by tuesday, wednesday and thursday, looking and feeling much better, ringing ourselves out. Comfortable conditions High Temperatures in there 80s with a lot of sunshine so something to look forward to but kind of touch and go over the next several hours.

We have been waiting for this moment, natasha. Yes. Its a big news out of Training Camp one of the greatest eagles of all time back in the nest after a bitter departure in 2009, Brian Dawkins rejoined the franchise. Hell be working with the teams scouting department. He he spent 13 years with the eagles. His resume is impressive eight pro bowls, the franchise lead intergames played and inter exceptions. Its not just scouting. Im trying to grasp the whole gambit of Football Operations of how a team is run. Im learning about the scouting part of it, how the terminology and all those things but sometimes its either you have an eye or you dont and ive been believed to have an eye to be able to see talent so if i can help in some that respect, love to do that but also i want to learn everything about running a football team. Back in january calling him and asking him again to be part of it, always trying to get him here and because hes got such a bright future, hes got such a great football mind and a great presence and leadership ability which translates to the front office. Meanwhile the pads finally on at practice at a after months of seeing the birds run in shorts this was a real football practice. They practiced for about three hours. One of the strengths of the team so far this season is the defense but after the first day in pads defensive coordinator jim schwartz says they have a long way to go. Teamwork can trump individual play. I think if were doing our job in Training Camp if our players are responding well in the scheme, if we have a scheme that matches the players, youll see the sum should be greater than the individual parts. Were not there yet. Believe me were not there yet. Now to baseball phillies and braves just under way. Before the allstar break the phillies offense was hot averaging five runs. Since the break theyve been in a funk covering under three runs again. Jeremy hellickson on the mound for the phillies. This could be his last name as a philly. Couple teams have expressed interest in him. Trade deadline is monday at 4 oclock. Another phillies pitch they are could be out of here is vince velasquez. Several members of the Texas Rangers were on hand last night to watch vince give up two runs in a two run loss. The rangers have a great farm system. Remember last season they traded cole hamels to texas in return the fightans got several good prospects including pitcher jerad eickhoff. Third round of the pga championship hampered by rain. Storms came through around 2 oclock and brought play to a halt. Only 37 players finished their rounds. Coleaders jimmy walker never got off the course. Play will resume tomorrow at 7 00 a. M. We have to talk to lauren about this rain. Are they ever going to get to play. Welcome back. One of the biggest musikfest values in the country it is well under way this weekend. Louisianalmost a hundred thousas are expected to pack the park. Headliners include the red hot chilly peppers janes addiction and radio head. This is the who do you talk to for military advice right now . Im Hillary Clinton and i approved this message. Well, i watch the shows. I mean i really see a lot of great you know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows. While donald trump watched tv, as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton negotiated a cease fire in gaza. A reduction in nuclear weapons. Took on vladimir putin. And stood up against the trafficking of human beings. A steady leader in an unsteady world. Lauren so keep the umbrella handy. Keep the umbrella.
