We have a first alert out for the possibility of severe storms in parts of the area. Reports of damaging winds are possible. Isolated, and heavy downpours. There is a lot of moisture in these storms as youll see in a little bit. Theres also a tremendous temperature contrast here.

So we have one shower developing drexel hill, other ones near the pennsylvania turnpike near norristown right now. Continuing to move to the northeast. Heres the forecast hour by hour as we go toward the dinner hour. Heres that line of storms according to the computer model. And just kind of slowly creeping eastward. Generally, weakening a little bit. But theres still a lot of heavy rain in this as it goes into new jersey. And, of course the slower it moves, the more rain accumulates, and the greater the threat of some of that localized flooding. See, we eventually dry out here as we head toward midnight. Now, whats going to happen tomorrow, we start off very warm. Its going to be a warm humid start to the day. Were going to get up near 90 degrees. Nothing like today with the widespread storms few showers and thunderstorms forming. This model has it near the coastline tomorrow while we get up near 90 degrees and just a few showers around.

Is it infringing on neighborhoods that didnt use to see that . It certainly is. Past 15 years, the college grows by leaps and bounds. Theyre not prepared for housing and then housing is going to find itself off campus and here we are. Added weekend patrols, monitoring social media and a threestrike code of conduct agreement. Students who rent must sign. Open containers has cut their open container, noise and disturbance calls in half over four years. I feel like the students arent represented right.
