pushing up towards northern berks county and areas like green lane and northern montgomery county. these are a better chance of rain on the roadways and eventually maybe some flooding. here is the wide view, most of what we see in the south is not really all that impressive and there is heavy precipitation highlighted in yellow to the south and we'll show you another batch farther down the pike, an issue for us later on. we have the action cam in wilmington, delaware, earlier. it's basically a cloudy day and pretty flowers in the foreground. now the first is spotty drenchers today, and it won't be raining all the time, tomorrow we have a better chance of rain coming in. it could be on the heavy side and thunderstorms tomorrow. lets get you to it. current conditions are 70 in

philadelphia and dew points are muggy and winds out of the east-northeast at 6 miles per hour. we have 70s down in the southern tier the region in allentown or reading. in terms of the rain, centered mainly to the west of philadelphia, you can see farther to the south coming up from virginia, it looks like areas closer to the coast, runs on future tracker 6, giving us off and on showers popping here and there. i do think there is a chance of these downpours to push through and by 10:00 or 10:30 we may be dealing with some of this. flash flood watch now until late tonight. phillies will play baseball until 1:05, it's damp at the ballpark and posting showers all day, there you see the numbers, fairly mild, stopping in the

mid-70s, i think it's a chance they get some of that game in and there are delays possible and we'll see how it rolls over the next few hours. allentown a spotty downpour and up in the lehigh valley not out of question and 65 off of atlantic city right now and on the beach, cloudy skies for the most part and 72 is the high up and down the coast and some of you may go higher than that. but it's not one of those big tanning days down at the beach. high of 75 and clouds and spotty showers and maybe a pop-up shower or thunderstorm mixed in as well. 68 degrees and spotty showers and a storm at some point. if are you headed out to commute later in the afternoon or waiting for someone to come home, could you slow things down a bit. temperatures will basically be in the 70s. as we look at the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, we go for the high of 75, and humid and showers are around and some downpours.

and tomorrow a better chance of showers and thunderstorms. and it looks like fastd improvement on saturday, any cloud cover gives way to sun and humidity drops during the day and father's day sunny and beautiful. >> just have to make to the weekend. >> thank you david. the "action news" is working on stories for tonight beginning at 4:00 controversy over the crash that injured tracy morgan, they have called out one website because of graphic images they showed of the accident. >> that is going to do it for "action news" at noon, for meteorologist david murphy, rick williams and the entire "action news" team, i'm sara bloomquist, have a great afternoon.
