Yesterday we did get a couple of heavy hitters that were very slow moving and as we described yesterday, dumped a lot of rain over some isolated areas and were looking at the same thing now this morning and the areas west of philadelphia. South western Chester County just getting the edge of this. Most of the heavy stuff include something lightning and thunderstorm, this is a thunderstorm is pushing more or less towards the northeast and i think if youre in berks county and perhaps the western edge of Chester County you have the best chance of seeing this later this morning. But you can see how slow its moving. If you get caught under it it will be for awhile. Another shower looks like it might pop up over the delaware bay and get into parts of south jersey later on. As we take a look at the wide view on satellite and radar going to be a simila
