midnight for southwestern half of the region and philadelphia is included in that. we could get doused here. we had a couple round of rain roll through earlier this morning. anything else we do find out there is certainly going to cause some headaches. i know we just want to get weekend started without any problems. you have to keep in mind these storms could be quite dicey, toward the typical evening rush hour. lets just get out there and start off with storm scan three to recap here, all this is coming courtesy of a cold front, this is catalyst that will finally send us back into some more pleasant territory but we have to deal with the clash in the atmosphere, get that out of the way, before we can expect nice weather to come witt. so, it is still very steamy outside, you'll fine round of soaking showers and thunderstorms, right now riding right along or south of i80 but more will fire up in that southern branch. lets talk about that flash flood watch one more time southwestern half of the delaware valley, including filed a, it runs until midnight for round of heavy rain which could produce

locally two to 4 inches of additional rain. that would lead to flooding. if you run into poor drainage, bottom of the hill or off ramp or just, you know, to the creeks and streams that tend to flood out of the banks regularly, those are the areas where you'll fine war taking place. if you know maybe your street is prone to this don't be shocked if it end up happening from the round of rain coming through. severe weather threat is still quite real, however and we are seeing that slight risk, as far north as parts of the lehigh county, so once more a day, another severe weather risk and to me it looks like primaries being will be heavy downpours, gusty wind, frequent lightening which we will get to in a second. let's focus on when things actually happen. here we sit at noon time. i'm not crazy thousand initial ized but still a good guide, we will take a look forward here, and what you'll find, little lull in the action. very likely some of you break out into some sunshine. that will be helpful for a stronger thunderstorm to get

going here. once this moves in five or 6:00 p.m., summer fest in even if inningsville i know they have a backup plan for rain for summer fest festivities but keep in mind there could be wet weather to deal w if this end up verifying we're talking blinding downpours over montgomery county or thereabouts, toward 6:00 p.m. tonight. so we really need to keep an eye on the radar. lauren will have her hand for for five and 6:00 o'clock shows tonight. check in with her if you have to be somewhere but then things do clear out in the early tomorrow morning and we will be left with beautiful weather, just wait, get through today with the downpours, wind issues, lightening, hail cannot rule it out. i cannot rule out tornado but that is still a very low risk, even lower then hail threat today so that is good. outside here, where we ended up with the tornado warning outside on the bernville area in berks county 72 degrees, incredibly muggy, one thing that has changed here today is temperature. you are not talking mid 90's

like we had yesterday. we are only held back to oh, say mid 80's at best, for daytime highs. that is even below average but still so steamy, but promised you nice weather, it comes along saturday, sunday look just awesome, warm, but still july. >> yes. >> looks great. >> thanks, katie, appreciate it. it is friday, you know what that means. cbs-3 is out and about for summer if he to day we are in phoenixville gearing up for blob fest. >> checking out phoenixville we have explored the schuylkill river trail. the trail is widely used since its completion in april, that was in 2015, thousands of people each month walk, ride, hike the path ways, even kyack on the river, count me in, another benefit is becoming an economic driver for phoenixville downtown businesses. >> the communities that have really thrived around the trail, you know, if you first look at manayunk, conshohocken
