>> ♪♪ >> meteorologist adam joseph checking out your weekend forecast. >> it's a big weekend. we've got father's day we've got the gary papa run. >> right. >> we have the first day of summer on sunday. >> we got kind of a half of a weekends in there. >> yeah, it's going to be pretty -- not just a washout for part of the weekend and then the other half not so bad. we'll try to time them out for you. as we take a look at live radar we have a couple downpours in northwestern chester county, a couple northwestern berks county but we also have a cluster of downpours heading into some very popular areas along 611 into jenkintown moving away from flourtown just skirting manayunk a couple of sprinkles along the schuylkill right now and bustleton avenue getting hit by some heavy downpours and this will

continue to slide into northeast philadelphia and eventually bump over the river into palmyra and eventually into parts of camden county but really that's the only heavy downpour we're tracking at the present time. the rest of us it's sunny, it is very warm. moderately muggy. 85 in millville, 83 in allentown with a northwesterly wind. it is in the 80's at the shore as well. we continue to watch this spin. this is the remnants of what was tropical storm bill that made landfall near corpus christi in texas on monday so it's only made a very small go to the north and east here this week and it will slowly work along the midatlantic region for the middle of the weekend so as we time for you here a lot of clouds tomorrow morning. we're not going to see a lot of sun over the upcoming weekend. in the afternoon tomorrow at 4 o'clock there will be some scattered downpours and thunderstorms popping especially west and southwest of philadelphia. if you're going to be at fire fly be prepared to get some of those downpours late tomorrow

and especially tomorrow night into early on sunday morning p you can see how future tracker lights up. these are the tropical downpours as the center of what was bill passes through and these will be some very torrential downpours that pass by during the early morning hours of sunday. we could see inches of rain in just a matter of hours. that could lead to some flooding and then it starts to pull away during the morning hours of sunday and then maybe we'll get some sunshine breaking out sunday afternoon. so the key timing for the heaviest of the rain is mainly when we're asleep. 2:00 a.m. through 9:00 a.m., one to 3 inches and maybe isolated 4-inches. there could be some strong storms south of philadelphia in the wee hours of the morning. even the possibility of some stream flooding since so much rain is going to come in a very short window of time. and for that gary papa run it will be very humid in the morning, down in the city of philadelphia some leftover downpours, 74 degrees at 7 o'clock and at 10 o'clock, 78 degrees. the ocean temperatures warm but i don't think a lot of

people will be in the water this weekend. getting a lot of clouds tomorrow 76 degrees then a soaking start to your sunday with a temperature of 82 so if you're going to linger at the shore on sunday, an arcade kind of day as we look at that exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, clouds with app couple afternoon pop-ups tomorrow 83. heaviest of the rain saturday night sunday morning. a flood watch goes into effect meaning there could be some flooding. 89 in the afternoon with pops of sun. hot but less humid on monday 90. kind of active day with front on tuesday: showers and storms. not as warm and humid wednesday, thursday in the lower 80's and maybe a pop-up on friday of 83 degrees. again, keep your eye to the sky this weekend for those downpours and storms especially when we're sleeping if you live in a flood road and area get up and check saturday and sunday. >> freebie friday coming up next with some treats for dad.
