I dont think so. It looks like more 90degree temperatures in the forecast the next couple of days and this heat and humidity are also helping us fuel this showers and thunderstorms weve seen across the area. It looks like the threat will continue for the next couple of hours at the very least until midnight. As i just mentioned, the heat and humidity will continue into your sunday and into monday. The humidity will start to come up yet again and thats going to be out ahead of our next storm system thats likely going to bring us more showers and thunderstorms, likely to be toward the middle of the week. Now, we have had some slight cooling with the thunderstorm that had moved through. 85 right now in philadelphia, 78 right now across some of our pennsylvania suburbs. 81 in fleetwood, 87 in blanden, cooks town 85.

Not only are we dealing with heat but humidity as well. Thunderstorms mainly focused on new jersey. Weve got this heavier shower now moving through waterford, east of tabernacle. Rainfall rates of over an inch an hour, so if this were to stay in the same spot, it could produce quite a bit of rain in a short amount of time. Thats actually what it did here. We actually have a flood advisory in effect through 10 00 eastern time. Now, the Severe Thunderstorm Warning also continues through 6 30. Again, as the thunderstorm continues to shift into eastern Burlington County, well have to watch that and see if it weakens. The majority of the heavier rainfall has been across parts of southern new jersey. Thunderstorms have been very isolated so in some spots you havent had much, its just heat and humidity through much of the afternoon. Again, well have to watch out for spotty thunderstorms. Perhaps after midnight our best chance is north and west. Well have to watch out for that. Sunday into your monday, more heat and more humidity. And then as we head into your monday night and actually into your tuesday, well start to watch for the threat of showers and thunderstorms that are going to start to move in from the west.

Mickelson trails stenson by a shot heading into the final round. That is your look at sports. Denise, back to you. Violeta is back with another check on the forecast. We are officially in our heat wave. Yes, its hot out there, its humid out there. Of course you probably dont need for me to tell you that but unfortunately it looks like that will continue at least the next two days.

You can see we have a lingering storm there across parts of new jersey and we actually have some additional storms now starting to develop across maryland.
