that, that is our light. that is only thing we could provide for this wawa. but this is a 24 hour wawa location and normally they would have customers, people coming into get gas, some coffee but right now no power means no business. there are two employees inside with flashlights and she said power went out last night. this is when storms passed through our area last night. obviously leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power. crews, had to deal with fallen trees and power lines, of course, biggest issue with these strong storms. peco crews were out all night in the early morning working to restore power. but again, a lot of crews are out there still trying to do the the best that they can but there are places like this wawa for example that are still without power. now employees told me, peco told them their power might not get back on until noon time but they are crossing their fingers hoping it will come on sooner. you know what, erika and ukee, i'm crossing

kidding. they packed a punch. they ended up being more wind storms then anything. very heavy downpours as well but the wind issues, we saw with this, so many people without power this morning. >> still breezy this morning. >> it is still breezy out there but nothing, like what we saw. we will take a look at peak win gust that is we did end up finding out there. today another day that will feature additional showers and storms. don't worry, i don't think that storms that fire up will have the wherewithal the the kind of stormy wetter from yesterday because those storms zapped the atmosphere of the energy it had to work w there will still be potential for, rumbles of thunder but nothing like. that peak wind gust from his yesterday is just a short list. this isn't exhaustive but we had 60 miles an hour wind at philly international. run meet 62 miles an hour. that is well enough to send your trash can flying. i saw a lot of debris on my drive-in this morning. you may dodge that traveling this morning as well. so just, you know, slow it down, keep an eye on what is going on out there. storm scan three, definitely very scattered variety of showers at this hour. we don't have too much in the way of thunderstorms popping up at the moment. maybe a rumble of thunder here and there but it is all courtesy of the larger storm. you can see area of low pressure well off to the north and cold front draped well off to the south of that. it is a large storm, but again, we saw brunt of it here, last night. so while we are still waiting for this sluggish guy to completely get out of here and we will still see showers and storms maybe a lingering shower tomorrow we do end up with quiet weather as we start to wrap up, yet another workweek here. high pressure will win the battle on friday, everybody stays dry and saturday looks good too. in the meantime expect showers and storms to pop up in the p.m. time frame as far as anything more widespread but we have a good shot at making a run at 90 degrees which wouldn't make it a heat wave. we will drop down to 71. still will mild but not as warm and muggy as it has been. temperature eases up for next couple of days, it is still warm, granted but won't be anywhere near as muggy, ukee, back to you. thanks, katie n sports phillies go for their third win in a row tonight against the brewers in milwaukee roberto hernandez

temperature readings are similar to what we saw, yesterday, a little bit cooler as we go to the north and west where we're in the mid 60's in allentown and mount pocono. the problem is we're not totally out of the woods just yet, guys. what we saw last night was not necessarily the passage of the cold front but rather a frontal boundary that is sluggish. we will heat up again today, we will think 90 degrees which will make it an official heat wave and then ease up on the thermometer tomorrow but we will have lingering showers or thunderstorm, not as severe. tomorrow even could touch off
