First alert meteorologist steve has the timing on the winds and how it will impact your neighborhood and this could throw a wrench in the sunday plans. We have the philadelphia marathon and it does look windy. And in fact our entire region will see the strong wind gusts on the order of 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour. When will it occur, between lets say 4 00 a. M. Through 4 00 p. M. And lets say 7 00 a. M. To 1 00 p. M. The worst of the duration and were looking at sustained winds of 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour but it is the gusts im concerned about. 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour that could snap tree limbs and cause Power Outages and with out door activities on sunday we are concerned with that. It is a piece of the storm system that is delivering us showers. The warm front will sneak through and then we see that breeze kick up. So there is two elements of wind, one tonight with the warm wind and then one element tomorrow with the cold wind. And you feel that with the dropping temperature. Right now we

And they get stuck. You know, when you get mice on the tracks, they come down here and get stuck. Cant get out. How long have you been out here . A
Home tonight and thats an area that has the potential for severe storms later today and into the evening. Thats why we have the first alert out for that. There is the potential for some severe storms with damaging winds and maybe even a tornado or reports of large hail in parts of the area. The relative Severe Threat is relatively low for the flooding, but pretty high for lightning and high winds and a good bit higher than normal for hail, for example. That highest risk is for much of delaware and southern new jersey. The farther north and west you go, the lower the risk of any kind of storms, let alone severe storms. You can see the lull now is just nothing on the radar, but the future weather computers are suggesting we do get some buildups. Later this afternoon, after 2 00, 3 00 for the most part. Some of them very heavy and generally farther south. Theres one approaching the shore and then a few more later on this evening. But very little north and west of philadelphia. We are into
