radar how fast it should spin and where it should search the sky for storms. it also processes the radar signal and turns it into data that we can analyze and display on television. its main control center and display, this integrated laptop. finally, there's our control room on wheels. this is how we get the radar data back to nbc 10 and streaming on the internet. these computers utilize the fastest lte cellular network to send data directly to nbc 10 digital operation centers, and from there to our neighborhood weather center and also to you on our nbc 10 app and website. we can even send storm ranger 10 to remote locations and deploy a satellite to beam high-resolution pictures to space, then directly back to nbc 10. pretty cool, right? here's the bottom line. we're taking the newest and most advanced radar technology and we're hitting the road. all to alert you to dangerous weather, first. >> and if you want to take a closer look inside storm ranger 10, learn more about its

11:50 am
79 at philly international. but there are some parts of philadelphia that are a little bit warmer. and we can see that with our neighborhood weather reports. there's the 79 at phl, but it's 85 at graduate hospital. 84 at center city. we've added more and more neighborhood reports to this. germantown at 80 degrees. torresdale, 80. parkwood at 80 degrees right now. now, we do see no showers, no significant cloud cover around during the day today. tomorrow's going to be another day with beautiful weather. it's going to be a little bit warmer, a little bit more humid, but for this time of the year, still pretty nice. fairmont, 87 degrees. reading, 84. easton, 84 degrees. you can see, everybody's got
11:51 am
sunshine tomorrow. robbi robbinsville, 85. right at the jersey shore, temperatures close to the 80 degree mark. 79 in avalon and also rehoboth beach at 79 degrees. so it's going to be a great time to get away, if you've got a chance during the day tomorrow. because saturday isn't going to be as comfortable. that's for sure. as we go through the future, tonight and into tomorrow morning, we're dry. mostly clear. tomorrow afternoon, you see one or two little showers pop up, way north and west of the area, perhaps parts of berks county or the poconos, the main action is still in central pennsylvania tomorrow afternoon. and then as we go to saturday, once again we start off dry. perhaps some clouds to start off the day, and then here come the showers and thunderstorms.
11:52 am
middle of the day, just north and west, earlier in the day, in the lehigh valley and poconos. so by noontime, the lehigh valley and poconos may be clear out of this and here come the showers and storms in the philadelphia area. increasing as we go throughout the afternoon. it's going to be hot and humid. that may help build up some pretty strong thunderstorms, later in the day on saturday, if you're headed to the shore, keep that in mind. it's not going to last very long, so it's certainly not going to ruin the whole weekend, but it does look like it's going to affect at least a portion of the weekend. there's the temperature as we go through saturday. feeling closer to 100 in philadelphia because of the high humidity. and just that one band of showers and storms moving through. sunday, nothing but sunshine, lower humidity, warm at the
11:53 am
shore, mostly a land breeze on sunday. the rain chances just spike on saturday, philadelphia, down in delaware, and it gradually goes up a little bit on friday and saturday. allentown, actually a little bit lower for allentown on saturday than it is in other parts of the area. atlantic city has the highest chance of any kind of rain. so as we go through the ten-day period, there's that heat and humidity saturday. drying out sunday. monday is nice and comfortable, but look what happens next week. it starts heating up and temperatures get way back into the 90s. and we'll be right back.
