There and a little bit of unsettled. Storm tracker6 live double scan shows you that there are a couple of showers, even a thunderstorm up by new york. Thats where your one Lightning Strike is and a slightly heavier quick downpour from a shower thats moving through northern Chester County. A little bit more of that in New Castle County and down through parts of south jersey. So, just a little bit on the wet side out there in a couple of spots this morning. Overall, though, we are expecting some sunshine to start out and then well mix sun and clouds later in the day. Theres a slight chance of a popup isolated shower or a thunderstorm later this afternoon and this evening butter most of this action that you see out to the west of us is going to have a tendency to miss us to the west. 74 degrees right now in philadelphia, 72 and muggy up in allentown. 72 in trenton. 72 in wilmington and 73 in sea isle city. Those dewpoints are up there. A lot of spots in the upper 60s and weve got some 70s

Every now and then you get a very brief downpour and youre seeing three Lightning Strikes there by the way but thats all associated with stuff up by new york state.

Most of this action up by pittsburgh will miss us off to the west and north and were just looking at a very isolated shower or thunderstorm through the afternoon and evening. 74 degrees right now in philadelphia, 73 in sea isle city. Your dewpoints again today are in the 60s and 70s so that does indicate humid air. Youll feel it as you step outside. 71 degrees by 6 oclock. By 8 oclock, with a spotty shower and a few clouds around
