Rick, stormtracker 6 live double scan shows you that most of the area is dry and its muggy and warm as you step outside. As you go close toert storms you see most of them are in gettysbu gettysburg, the white stripe you see every now and then say Lightning Strike on storm tracker, and they are pushing to the east and as we get past 2 00, 3 00, we have to be on the lookout for these, and in some cases just a shower or downpour, but in some cases Severe Weather. As we look outside we have chopper 6 flying over Citizens Bank park its one of those places that is warm and sticky. 86 degrees right now in philadelphia, the dew point is over the 60 degree threshold for humid air and it feels rather sticky and worse the farther south you go through the region, winds are running 5 Miles Per Hour right now, temperatures are zooming and 81 in allentown and 82 humid degrees in trenton and 84 in wilmington and 86 in millville and cape may we are at 84 warm degrees. Future tracker 6 picking up the storm story, every time we get a new model run in it places the storm in different places, just about anywhere but especially close to philadelphia and south there is a chance of a popup shower and drenching shower and thunderstorm that could come through a couple of hours. By 4 00 we look active on the latest model run and after 6 00, 7 00, 8 00, it looks like most of this settles to the south and goes off the map, having said that we are under a slight risk of Severe Weather today. The Storm Prediction Center this afternoon and this evening says that anything that pops in Chester County and points south could produce strong damaging winds gusts and perhaps small hail along with the usual downpours and lightning. And an outside chance in this area all wait down through baltimore and washington, that we see a tornado. Not a big chance of that but Something Else that should get you thinking in terms of head indoors. Up in the Lehigh Valley and clouds and sun, and a thunderstorm cannot be ruled out but the better chance is farther south and strong thunderstorms at the shore not out of question and 82. 65 in the water, not a bad beach day, if you hear the rumble of thunder get off the beach immediately. And a moderate risk of rip currents. Todays high in philadelphia 88 degrees and clouds and sun after 2 00 or 3 00, and take cover indoors for the storms, they could pack a punch. Once the storms get out of here the humidity will drop. Todays high is 88 degrees and humid and strong thunderstorms are possible in spots, tomorrow we get a break and less humid and 88 degrees is the high and we get to crank it up again, and friday, saturday and sunday look great, mid to upper 80s and dry conditions.
