to 11:00 o'clock. heavy rain will be a threat for the philadelphia area, i-95 and once again that severe thunderstorm watch goes until 8:00 o'clock tonight. overnight scattered leftover showers and storms. the severe weather threat will diminish so as we time everything out you can see scattered showers we're not looking at a squall line like last week that produced all of the damaging winds but it's going to be scattered activity that could produce some damaging winds and hail. by 11:00 o'clock things starting to settle down a bit across the area so by tomorrow morning for the morning commute it's warm, the muggy and then during the afternoon and evening, we see more showers and storms. popping up during the heat of the day. here's 4:00 o'clock. you can see along i-95 watching more heff vo rainfall the same time tomorrow we are going to do it yet again and then once we move beyond tuesday night, things really start to improve across our area. but i'll run the clock through tonight. through tomorrow. you can see we're talking one to 3-inches of rainfall on average with the heaviest rainfall right around the heart of the area. 90 degrees was the high temperature today. rain cooled into the 70s north and west. 89 degrees right now in dover. so still pretty hot and humid but by the middle of the week, some cooler air will move into our area with temperatures actually dropping below average for this time of year. upper 60s, low 70s. showers and storms. some of which could be severe. 86 degrees will be the high temperature for tomorrow. warm and humid tomorrow afternoon and evening. the best chance for showers and storms developing. a leftover shower early on wednesday. 84 degrees. and then you can see low 80s for thursday and friday and those temperatures a good five to 10 degrees below average for many as we close out the week but keep an eye to the sky tonight still under that severe thunderstorm watch the entire area until 8:00 p.m. this evening. >>
