>> you may want to think twice before snapping a self knee an art gallery. the woman was attempting to sake a selfie at this l.a.

gallery when she fell knocked over a pillar and the rest went down like dominos. lovely. the incident happened two weeks ago and resulted in $200,000 in damage. no word if the money was recovered by insurance. >> wow. >> fun to watch, though. [laughter] meteorologist adam joseph here now with a closer look at the weekend forecast. we just need to get through the day. >> yeah and there's some good news with these severe storms. the severe thunderstorm watch has been canceled for most of our area. >> okay. >> it was ongoing until 9 o'clock but it's been canceled early. no severe thunderstorm warnings presently but we're still getting rocked at the shore by nasty storms. storm tracker6 live double scan shows the storms pressing south of vineland dover atlantic city to cape may. we close into storm tracker6 live and even though this is not severe, you can just see how bright the lightning is and how intense it is. we've got 305 lightning strikes in this vantage point from ocean city down to stone had a are pour back to reed's

beach. a lot of lightning is along the immediate shore line. it is 5 o'clock, it is happy hour down at the shore so make sure you're indoors if you're down there for at least another 15 to 30 minutes and the rainfall rates as these storms are coming through, it is truly tropical. we're squeezing out close to five to 6-inches of rain per hour. that's great. you're not getting that much rain down the shore but you're literally seeing the sky open up and pour as these storms pass through. but again, at least the most intense lightning is beginning to push off the coast but again lightning can strike up to 10 miles away from the storm even as it goes over the open waters of the atlantic. flash flood warnings all because of how much moisture is in the air today. flash flood warnings continue from salem county, parts of gloucester, camden county, cumberland county, right to the shore where, again, those rates have produced up to 2-inches of rainfall in parts of the area and there have been some road closures in parts of salem and cumberland county due to flooded roads.

as these storms pass through south jersey especially we're looking at wind damage reports 50 miles an hour gusts in egg harbor egg harbor township bridgeton 50 miles an hour wind gusts, 58 miles per hour at the millville airport, newport 50 miles an hour and toll chester that's delaware, 53 miles an hour wind gusts. we've also had hail. we've also had trees and wires down mays landing nickel size hail, buena vista township quarter size, phoenixville and chester county the same with west chester trees and wires down and in fact car windows damaged in west chester probably due to trees falling. dewpoints even though the storms have passed through, this is what we look at. any time it's above 70 degrees you've got there moisture rich atmosphere so it's going to take time for it to kind of quiet down the atmosphere and in fact it will do so over the weekend. those dewpoints again they're in the 70's. that's oppressive. they go back into the 60's saturday, sunday, monday so between slightly humid and humid and then it starts to go back up in the middle of next

week. so for tonight early storms especially far southern areas. then most of the night it is still humid and quiet with temperatures on either side of 70 degrees. as we get into your saturday, mostly sunny, less humid, really a nice day, 85 in allentown, 86 wilmington, 87 in millville and if you're heading to the shore, the ocean 65 degrees, really a great day to be on the sand tomorrow. lower humidity, 86 and great on sunday, sun and clouds at 84 degrees. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 87 for tomorrow as we turn sunny and again lighter atmosphere out there and then very warm, back to 90 on sunday with a little uptick in the humidity and then monday warm, humid, 90 degrees and then it starts to turn more oppressive in the middle to the end of next week so we get that combo back of 90's, high humidity and the chance of scattered storms almost every single day but not one day looks to be worse than the other so to speak.

so, another heat wave on the way as we get into the new work week so good news is once these storms are off the coast it should be pretty quiet the rest of the night. >> all right adam thank you. >> thank you. >> radio controlled planes are buzzing around bear, delaware. this is the 25th year for war birds over delaware. hundreds of the best pilots are hanging out at lum fond state park flying field. they brought with them over 300 of the largest and most detailed radio controlled aircraft in the country. the event is free and runs through tomorrow. >> ♪
