degrees today. the humidity is up as well. even more so tomorrow. with the wind coming in off the ocean, the shore areas are in the 70s, too. that will continue tonight and into tomorrow. this is the area of showers that you see, if anything, it's getting a little bit smaller as the stronger system starts approaching. chester county, delaware county, northern new castle county, getting some rain and just patchy very light stuff in new jersey. but right now, portions of chester county getting the most rain, some of it going into salem county now. the real heavy stuff is back in ohio and west virginia. you see the yellow and red. showers and thunderstorms, some approaching cleveland, that's what will be coming in later tonight. as we go through the night, 10:00, a couple little showers around. if you are headed out for the next two hours, nothing heavy, but overnight, a different

story. there's midnight and it's starting to come into lancaster. by 2:00 a.m., it will be raining and raining hard across a good bit of the area. maybe some thunderstorms waking some people up. and the rain coming down hard enough to produce perhaps some localized flooding in poor drainage areas. but it will just keep moving so the heavy rain won't last a real long time. by 7:00 a.m. as we go toward the heart of the rush hour, the rain will surely be tapering off at the very least in some places, even ending. but the roads will be wet for the morning rush. no doubt about that. we have a little bit of a break with some lighter showers, maybe even a little bit of sun as we go into the middle of the day tomorrow. you don't see much going on there. but in the afternoon, as temperatures go into the upper 80s we may get showers and storms developing again. the stronger the activity is tomorrow morning, the less

likely it is to be severe tomorrow afternoon. so kind of a trade-off there. for tonight, the rain becoming heavy after midnight, 70 for the low in philadelphia. 66 north and west. tomorrow, early in the day, and late in the day, thunderstorms. so a good bit of the day is going to be dry in between. temperatures into the mid 80s depending on how much sunshine we get. then the lower humidity starts to come in on wednesday and then just spectacular day on thursday. another nice day on friday. then the humidity starts going up as we head through the weekend. nothing too awful but it will start getting hotter and hotter. watch this home explode during a rainstorm and police say the blast wasn't caused by weather. who they are now looking for and why. this jersey shore bay turned drown because of a drainage pump issue. why some believe it's a sign of a bigger problem. what health experts say many doctors aren't doing to keep you from developing blood clots.
