counties salem, cumberland all the way down to kent county lehigh valley including allentown, bucks county. tornado watch tonight, the possibility of tornadoes with any severe storms that move

going to be skimming burkes county still. a lightning strike there. and this is right around borden town township. that's really all we have right now. later tonight, though we'll have a lot more moving in and, again, it's all coming from the west and southwest. you see the clouds temperatures are fairly warm outside. and the thunderstorms really flaring up. so the atmosphere is going to stay unstable with a threat for severe weather, possibility of a tornado for the rest of this evening. so, future weather by 7:00 8:00 tonight. you notice a lot of the red and orange on the map here showing moving in from areas west like the lehigh valley, also parts of delaware. so some of these storms by 8:00 could certainly be severe through the area. then it'll be moving near philadelphia, and into new jersey. and continuing north and west until about 9:00 p.m. after that, we still expect just some scattered storms even some heavy rain locally. by 11:00 tonight. so it's not going to end after you see it move through. this could even last until midnight tonight. and even some models showing it lasting after midnight. you may be sleeping tonight and still hear that heavy rain or some thunder around and then early tomorrow morning, we clear out just in time for the morning commute. so we do expect the morning commute to be on the dry side. for tonight, though, the showers and

temperatures about the mid to upper 60s. then we go into thursday and friday. look at the high temperature, right around the upper 50s. it's going to be a lot cooler and the wind's going to stay

proof. much of our area under a tornado watch for tonight. check out nbc 10 first alert radar. right now, the severe threat is to our west. >> nbc 10's first alert meteorologist sheena parveen is here now. we started off with a soaker this morning. we could end the day with more rain? >> oh we're definitely going to end the day with more rain. especially heavy rain. that is certainly a possibility, and like you mentioned the tornado watch, we could see a couple of tornadoes, too. first alert weather day is going to stay out for tonight. again, the tornado watch giving us the potential for tornadoes to develop. and with any other strong storms, damaging winds and hail is certainly likely and a possible tornado. here's the watch area you see yellow areas shaded. all the counties here north and west of philadelphia chester, montgomery and bucks counties. and this is a tornado watch, meaning tornadoes are possible until 10:00 tonight. so any strong storms we see move in could have the possibility to produce a tornado. locally, though, most of us are dry. we do have one heavy shower moving into western bucks county. it'll be skimming that area. it's pretty heavy at the time. not too much lightning. and in this other shower moving into parts of mercer county across i-195 and 295, this one moving towards hamilton. but the severe threat is still off to our west. it's moving in and as we go through tonight, we will see some strong storms moving. 7:00 p.m. tonight, west of philadelphia moving into the lehigh valley and then by 9:00 nearing philadelphia and south jersey, even delaware and still areas up near the poconos. coming up a closer look at the timing and what to expect with storms later on this evening. >> we'll check back in when she returns minutes away. with the

year. and there still are by the way, some runners finishing the last of them. now, six hours after the last heat began, they're coming through in spite of this weather. >> for the first 117 boston marathons, the focus was on inspiration. perseverance and largely the weather. through snow rain, intense heat, finishing is what mattered. foot on pavement for 26 in the extra 385 yards down boylston street. and the skies were a factor in the 119th running. the cool temperature hovering only in the 40s. the gusty wind and the steady rain. >> i actually randomly ran faster in the wind. >> reporter: felipe trained in the peruvian jungle. the cold was a factor for him, but not for nadya ruiz of l.a. who has the guinness world record for running 100 marathons. >> my 122nd marathon. i started at 14

on the front lawn. and we've learned that the fire started inside the church according to the fire marshal. firefighters were inside the church and didn't know it was burning until they saw smoke. >>

significant. >> the pastor says the congregation at resurrection church can and will forgive the person or people behind the series of attacks. the fires destroyed a play house, a cross that stood on
