>> meteorologist adam joseph is here now. not too much sunshine out there today. >> a lot of clouds today. it's that humidity coming back in. a warm front arrives tonight. that's when we'll see the downpours and thunderstorms. i know the thunderstorms scare you in middle of the night. >> it interrupts my sleep. not at all. >> don't even hear it. take a look at double scan live radar. a few sprinkles from time to time especially west and south of philadelphia near wilmington. parts of chadds ford, southern chester county, delaware county but overall not much happening at the present time. today in philadelphia though it was only 79 degrees. well below that normal of 86. it's been since the fourth of july that we've had a temperature that hasn't moved out of the 70's in philadelphia. so, it's been over a month it's been this cool despite that it's a little on the humid side and your record is 54 degrees and 98 degrees. the winds continue to if you think offer of the ocean. that's bringing in that cooler air but also humid air. 75 on the boardwalk, 73 in

allentown so pretty similar no matter where you are and with those winds continuing to push out of that easterly direction the last couple of days, once again today like the weekend rip currents were an issue. as we look at satellite and radar, a lot of clouds to the west and a lot happening here. low pressure just north of lex ton. it's a warm front. it's stretched now in northern parts of west virginia and also near pittsburgh and that is where we have a lot of downpours and thunderstorms erupting along that front and that's going to move through here between about 2:00, 4:00, 5 o'clock in the morning right through the morning rush hour for some of us. so you can see that large area of downpours and thunderstorms in the wee hours of the morning. it starts to move away in the heart of that rush hour at 7:30 but there will still be lagging downpours and thunderstorms to create some slow spots for the morning rush tomorrow. and then by lunchtime most of the activity is away and it's fairly quiet across the area despite it's cloudy and very tropical feeling and then in the afternoon with a cold front there will be some

scattered downpours and thunderstorms passing through but we won't have a solid line like we will early in the morning. so here's the two key times. 2:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. that line of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, some vivid lightning with it and then in the afternoon tomorrow, some scattered thunderstorms and any of those scattered thunderstorms could have not only heavy rain but some isolated gusty winds. at the shore tomorrow, an indoor day. a lot of clouds with some of those gusty thunderstorms at times, especially early in the morning at 78 degrees. and the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast will feature temperatures in the 80's the next few days. very humid tomorrow despite it's 82 with some scattered storms in the afternoon. then sunshine giving way to a few clouds on wednesday afternoon, lower humidity at 85 and a picture perfect thursday here. 83, full sunshine, little warmer friday, still low humidity and then we heat things back up over the upcoming weekend into the upper 80's and then right around that 90-degree mark one week from now and the only

other chance of a thunderstorm looks to be on saturday but even then it's very isolated. so much needed rain coming in tonight but again it could come a little too quickly leading to some localized flooding. >> thank you so much. before you led out the door check that 6abc forecast. topping tonight's people scene great news for fans of funny man bill murray. he's rehashing an olds character for the big screen. he'll reapp pair in the reboot of the original ghost busters movie. he played dr. peter vankman. he will join dan akroyd for a cameo. ghost busters reboot starring kristen wiig and melissa mccarthy hits theaters next summer. ♪
