area for severe weather, you can see a short-lived not wide-spread outbreak of maybe severe storms. also maybe a tornado or two but i think that will be in maryland and virginia. scattered wind damage and 1 to 2 inch hail. otherwise we'll see small hail and gusty winds. and this is your hour-by-hour-forecast. by 2:30 we have storms moving through and some rain. the winds out of the east are undercutting the storms. look at 6:00 in the morning, though, a strong batch of storms and heavy rain from philly down to atlantic city and scattered showers and storms through the day. a little bit of recharging early afternoon. i think the strongest storms between about 12:00 and 2:00, maybe as late as 4:00 come through the philly area. that's when we have to be aware of damaging winds and heavy rain. things look like they're

improving. they will turn westerly on friday. but look at the cold air and a rain/snow mix toward harrisburg and sprinkles for the phillies home opener. it will be a chilly, blustery day. 40s is all we can muster and winds out of the west 15 to 20 miles an hour and the potential for maybe drizzle or a light shower. i'll have the ten-day at the end of the newscast. also tonight from trump to rock 'n roll. the taj mahal casino getting a makeover and we're getting a first glimpse.
