a powerful tornado ripped through the indianapolis area yesterday. the twister lifted an rv and slammed it into a house. look at all that damage. denver was rocked by high winds and hail. the storms caused scattered damage. rivers are on the rise in minnesota which are facing historic flooding. entire neighborhoods are under water in the city of waterville. the mississippi river is 5 feet above flood stage. it is not expected to crest until tomorrow. >> wow. difficult times for those folks. let's turn to you, david, because you're saying be prepared, tonight we could be in for strong storms. >> especially north and west of philadelphia. the big issue between now and then, the humidity you can feel it out there. storm tracker 6 live double scan we've got no precipitation out there just yet. as we take a look outside, it is muggy out there and you feel it as soon as you step outside. there's the ben franklin bridge, the delaware river, penn's landing and everybody across the region right now in the low 70's and feeling on the humid side. 73 degrees in philadelphia

right now, 72 in wilmington. even allentown and trenton, some of our typically cooler spots in the morning are holding onto 70. millville often drop but, no, you're at 72 this morning and same thing down at the shore and in delaware. future tracker 6 shows you how we're going to see clouds and sun through the morning and then we get into the noon hour, maybe a spotty shower here or there but mainly dry. now, during the afternoon there is the chance of some spotty shower activity just about anywhere across the region. by 5 o'clock you'll notice thunderstorms developing north and west of the area. it looks like most of this activity is going to be in the evening hours for us and mainly in the northern and western suburbs and those now some of these storms that form could produce drenching downpours and that has with it some related problems. so, storms today, this afternoon, this evening are worse north and west and worse at night. if you see something this afternoon it's probably more along the variety of a real spotty quick shower but these thunderstorms at night could give you a quick 2-inches of rain in perhaps less than an

hour enough to produce localized flooding where these spotty storms hit and also frequent lightning. if you're in those northern and western suburbs this evening you want to watch out for them. in philadelphia most of the activity probably off to the north and west but we'll keep our eyes on it. the other issue today is the oppressive humidity. it is going to be really raw later on today and heavy. we're expecting dew points up over 70 degrees and any time you hit that mark that is what we would consider oppressive stuff, okay. probably gets a little better tomorrow but today pretty sticky out there. 84 degrees is your high in allentown, very humid and an afternoon shower or thunderstorm can't be ruled out and an even better chance of that in the evening hours as you just saw. down the shore, more humid, 78 degrees at noon, 82 by 3:00. that's pretty much your high temperature. you do have nice ocean water temperatures in which to get relief and i am posting late storm but really it looks like the best chance of precipitation down the shore would be a shower and not so much the thunderstorm variety. of course if you hear thunder

we want you to head inside. very humid with spotty storms late today and tonight north and west of philadelphia, 88 degrees. a shower is possible in the city as we roll through the day. and of course very humid. there you see how those numbers are going to climb. we are going to wind up in the 80's pretty quickly. and then 84 degrees at the ball game first pitch. ninth inning temperature 77t i think the phillies and marlins get that game in. your seven-day, today's high, 88, humid, very humid in fact and then we've got that shower in the afternoon and an evening storm especially north and west of philadelphia. still unsettled tomorrow. doesn't like -- like like that front gets out of here. there's the chance avenue lingering shower or thunderstorm at times on thursday, not a washout. friday the humidity lowers. we're up to 86 degrees. sunshine though warm and with lower humidity it should be fairly comfortable summer afternoon. more of the same on saturday with sunshine and highs in the 80's. sunday more humid, 86 and a chance of a shower or a thunderstorm building back in
