You can see the dark clouds are here pretty ominous looking and double scan live showing why ooh. We do have a line of some thunderstorms moving into philadelphia as we speak. Most areas have been rain free right now but you can see this is a pretty intense line. Its all sinking to the south and west moving along i95, 295 and the pennsylvania turnpike. Weve had nine Lightning Strikes associated with this but some very heavy rain. This is causing problems for the evening commute. Collingswood camden south philadelphia yeadon haddonfield and lansdowne all in the track of this line of thunderstorms and if we flip this over, this shows the rainfall rates and weve been seeing rain falling at the rate of about an inch and a half an hour. You see this purple, thats 3inches per hour. When you try to drive through that, its really difficult, a if idea to just. Good idea to pull over, let the rain pals. We have seen a lot of ponding of water on the roads from that line. Also a lot of reports of small hail in Montgomery County and bucks county, blue bell, norristown, can king of prussia, wrightstown and warwick township all reporting small hail. I have a lot of photos even video on my Facebook Page showing that. Temperatures have cooled off thanks to the showers. Philadelphia 73 degrees. Down from our high of 79. Allentown 75. Allentown hit 80 today and trenton a rain cooled 65 and millville has dropped down to 66 degrees. Satellite6 along with action radar showing the reason were seeing these scattered showers and thunderstorms, its a upper level low cut off from the jet stream. This is right off the coast of virginia and without the jet stream to push it along its just meandering and this will still be pretty close to us tomorrow. Around 8 oclock tonight still some scattered showers and thunderstorms west of philadelphia. Once the sun sets and we lose the heating of the day, everything fizzles out and then tomorrow with that low shifting to the east, i think most of the activity will be across south jersey. Some showers possible in the morning and then the afternoon you get there heating, you get the convective activity, the thunderstorms bubbling up around 5 30 and then generally east of philadelphia. Then we get that low pressure out of here and we will be under the influence of this, bermuda high. You know what that means. That means a classic summertime heat pump. Very warm on wednesday and then progressively more humid as we led through the hole head through the Holiday Weekend. Its going the feel like summer. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, tomorrow we got to do this all over again. Clouds mixing with sun, thunderstorms possible in the afternoon, mainly east of philadelphia, the high 79. On wednesday, we get that sunshine. Its warm, its not that humid, 85, great weather for me to head to the zoo and feed the giraffes. On thursday it gets more humid, 87 degrees with a popup shower or thunderstorm and then we really keep that chance of thunderstorms right through the weekend. It will be warm and humid. I dont see any day being a washout but definitely keep your eye to the sky through the Holiday Weekend with temperatures generally in the mid to upper 80s through sunday, dropping to the low 80s by monday. Its kind of ironic we havent hit 80 degrees once this month. Right. Were heading right to 85 degrees. Several days, wow. Lot of popups there. Yes, thats what you get with heat and humidity.
