Steamy day but there is relief on the way it does come in the form of showers and thunderstorms, but lets go start things off by taking you back in time here. We are looking back to yesterday ever so slightly, under achieving from the expectations in terms of the actual daytime high. We did hit 93 on the the a airport. Average is 87. But that made it to the 16th, 90degree plus day of 2015. However, you cannot go by face value of these numbers when we are dealing with the humidity we had. It was feeling like triple digits in dover as we went on the air at noon. I remember that from yesterday. Storm scan three is clear as a bell. We have a couple cloud out there. Unfortunately we will not cool off under that clear sky we do still have an excessive heat warning in effect even though it is not as oppressive right now. Once again, later today those heat index values will sky rocket for i95 and adjacent counties here to about the triple digits. So again it is another second day in the row of
Granted but more than anything just so much moisture in this atmosphere that these clouds have formed. It is a mild start. Muggy start. In the terribly windy start but i dont think you have to deal with too much in the way of fog. That is some good news. Storm scan three quiet as can be. I want to take you on a tour here and you will see we have wet weather rumbling through and just the form of granted a line but it is pockets within that line, of some showers and right now you can see lightening strikes that fire up here outside pittsburgh area. That is what will happen for us, we are looking ahead to noon, as we go on the air at Eyewitness News at noon, we will have something to track at least over central a pennsylvania, and it is mainly an afternoon and evening event for rest of us say two or four or 5 00 p. M. Those speckles start to show up for our area and then we will see pockets moving over philadelphia, notice timing 5 00 p. M. Prime time for some folks to be out there travel
Although those heat warnings stay necessity effect until 6 00 p. M. For heat index values that will cycle around hundred this afternoon. Storm scan empty, looking closely at last three hour loop you can see those speckles that show up. Some might see a quick shower, rolling through, generally things are off to a quiet start in terms of the weather pattern in terms of the precipitation. That will change with time, currently feels like 80 in millville and airport. Feeling like mid 70s every where else. We are basically within two or 3 degrees across the board here in terms of the actual air temperature and how it feels when you factor in the humidity. Looking forward in this forecast there is some relief on the way, granted, it the is still the dog days of summer. We are coming up on the beginning of the august if you can believe it, all right, but there will be relief that takes place here as we move forward behind a line of showers and thunderstorms set to move in this afternoon.
