see another round of heavy rain, thunderstorms firing up here. the national weather service actually expanded the region under flashflood watch today. still lingers through this evening, but all of the garden state, first state, all of eastern pa, still residing in the flashflood watch. it is not the best beach day, i'm not going to lie here. the main thrust of wet weather doesn't arrive until the second half of the day. maybe starting to see little bit every fine mist firing up into the late morning, but there is a moderate risk for rip currents, because we are still dealing with some very stormy weather, in the atmosphere. soap, again, basically, the same story as yesterday. so if you remember, how things sort of shook out yesterday timing wise, that is basically what happens again today. and again, those storms could have the capability of being just as strong. 84 degrees, by tomorrow, starting to clear out, the skies, but doesn't necessarily quite cooler, but it will feel so much better with time. bob, over to you. >> morning, everybody, 5:45, here is live look from the news van on the scene of the underground transformer explosion, as the peco crews,

down to the soil and dry out the soil more. >> also, watch your watering. you don't want to overdo it, or slack off. ideally your lawn should get about an inch to inch and a half of water weekly. that's about 20 to 30 minutes of watering three times a week. and don't forget fertilizer. it is important for healthy lush growth. but if it is not done right, could you end up with a brown lawn. >> we use dry slow release products all year long. because we want a slow feed the turf. the granulares fall to the base, and goes directly to the root system. where as when you spray liquid fertilizer, you're going to coat the leaf blades of the grass. then if you mow or whatever you're going to mow that off. >> if you doo do decide to hire a pro to improve your lawn, be patient. >> remember it is a process. it is not something that happens overnight. and honestly, a red flag is a provide their tells you they can fix it overnight. >> for more advice from angie on having a lawn your
