In return and two millions the phillies get two minor leaguers. Heres chase. Not so much changing uniforms but its really about, um, leaving the city that has given so much to me over the course of 12 or 13 years that ive been here. So its definitely difficult like ruben said its time. He spent his whole career with the phillies. Right. Longest tenure athlete here in philadelphia. He was asked about his favorite moment which was of course winning the world series and the parade down br
Check weather and traffic with katie and meisha. Roads are still dry. Let us know what we are looking at. It is so muggy, yesterday, will it be the same today. Yes, soupy air mass just continues to stay in place at this point. What that will do for us is allow for potential for heavy downpours. We have this moisture laden air mass anything that fires up courtesy of instability from this system will lead to heavy downpours. We are finding that outside our viewing area here in the delaware valley. Lets go outside and show you storm scan three. Just between say baltimore and d. C. One particular pocket of rain, in fact, leading edge starting to ever so slightly creep into southwestern, montgomery county. We will find basically initially scattered showers and storms. For now things are in fact still dry, quote unquote dry, very muggy but we dont have rain falling to the ground just yet here but you can see it is encroaching the area. That is what we will deal with throughout the the day. C
Frequent lightening, and worth at least a mention a very low, i want to stress that very le risk, a risk nonetheless a tornado spin up. Never i guarantee but something we are watching. Looking ahead in the forecast for a region as a whole, we have lightening strikes showing up there. And as generally it looks like the western half of our area sees the storms first, then shore points the second half of the day. Youll get sun along the the way too. Very steamy, very soupy. In short it is classic summer weather for our area. Milk bag, all right, thanks very much, katie, good morning. Still early out there in the 5 00 oclock hour and still dark outside but load are looking good. Heres the vine at 24th, everyone traveling around at posted speed, to sta with their and thursdays tend to be a busier travel days too, especially coming off a busy day like yesterday. This is the schuylkill westbound approaching the vine. The truck is pulled off to the side not causing any slow downs. He is just h
Mugginess out there once again today, already off to a very steamy start, but it is a dry start. We dont have precipitation falling from the sky in most locations at this point. Youre fining as we look outside here is generally just some sunshine. Pretty light waves on the shoreline. It is coming up on high tied, actually but when we go back to storm scan i want to show you snapshot image here. We have moisture very obviously nearby. So between harrisburg, baltimore, heavier rain currently moving through that area. That is what will eventually start to pick up for our region as a whole as well. Up until our cold front crosses, you will be dealing with very oppressive humidity. It is still very, very steamy outside. By friday we will see it tapering off a little bit. Saturday is probably best day in terms of the next four for Comfort Level but we will see that ramp backup. It is august, it is what you tend to get. Expect to see mid 80s, up toward the the shore points in philadelphia, ev
