least, but it does go downhill. so yes, we have to talk about that of course, but at least starting offer with the here and now what's happening on the area map. and actually not a heck of a lot to track, at the local level right now high pressure yelding for this advancing frontal boundary, offer to the west probably see if to if you are warning just hd. i'll zoom it out so you can see what's happening. the bulk of the storm system in canada. see the rotation with the storm center. here is the trailing front. building the heat. building the moisture all in van of it. and since it is just right with the timing, we end up being in the worse threat zone here, for today's severe weather. so, the storm prediction center since last year has upgraded or enhanced categorization how they categorize potential. we were at slight risk yesterday, now getting more confident when things will actually erupt in our area, since upgraded to enhanced.

that's the third level of five in terms of the categorization, what this means, though, is that you have got a better chance to see some heavy downpours, very strong wind, small size hail, i can't even rule out isolated tornado. so it bears monitoring. meantime, you can expect to see most of the day especially early on, just feature hot steamy sunshine, but later this afternoon you see those clouds start to build, you hear thunder you head inside. definitely one of the days you don't want to mess around. 94 degrees later tonight we drop to 71. as skies start to clear humidity also drops. while still warm tomorrow, nice day nice summer day with full sunshine, lower humidity, come thursday, sun clouds possibly a shower, storm, not totally sold on that. friday and saturday at this point looking little more dreary. back to you. >> katie, thank you. looking at the sport page now phillies are riding two game winning streak, riding the hot bat after young star in the making. third baseman got the phillies

it is all out of here later tonight, though, but this afternoon is not looking ideal. with heavy downpours the biggest concern lightning wind and even tornados, low risk granted but it is a risk. so pretty much throwing everything but the kitchen sink at you with this particular storm threat here today. and in the meantime, it is hot out there. folks, starting offer on very warm note, scorching 94 degrees later today feeling more like triple digit heat, now that we start to see the humidity creeping up on us. so there will be heat advisory takes effect at 11:00 a.m., essentially for i95 and the immediate vicinity, by tomorrow, still warm granted but the sun is back with much less humidity. much nicer summer day. ukee, back over to you. >> here is a look at some of the stories sister station "kyw news radio" 1060 will be following for you today. committee of the historical commission will way in on a developer's plan for a ten story apartment building in the heart of old city. new study shows many smokers may have undiagnosed chronic
