apart while areas further north have been increasing. you see lightning strikes there, not too far from redding, but it doesn't seem like the storms are moving very much. hear we are, just on the edge of it. and maybe creek in it, center in it. it's not moving much. that's a problem potentially because we have seen that sort of thing happening in delaware and south jersey causing localized flooding. one of the places that happened in cape may county, but the last of the rain is down there, and all the thunderstorms are moved out. we have heavy rain in dover and other bands coming through, but this is much, much later than what we have been seeing earlier this afternoon. futurecast shows things really quieting down, clearing out setting us up for just a spectacular weekend. we have some sunshine in the pa suburbs, lehigh valley.

keeping things comfortable for a lot of people, but some folks would like it warmer. it's not going to be all that warm in the pocono mountains either, but it's sunny and just a beautiful, beautiful weekend. and the ten-day outlook shows all that sunshine tomorrow and sunday, clouds increase a bit on monday, and then tuesday, we have our best chance of showers and zorms returning, at least for a while. then wednesday and into thursday, things quiet down a bit. temperatures close to average, but then another disturbance does look like it comes to affect us for at least a portion of the 4th of july weekend, so i'm not talking about any real chance of extreme heat or any kind of washout, but i do have some showers, at least scattered showers in the forecast for saturday and sunday. of course, we'll keep updating that as we get closer. all right, "hurricane," you'll like this guy, sixers' number one pick, simmons,
