meteorologist, cecily tynan here with the nasty weather coming our way. flash flooding that caused problems and lots of clouds and a muggy night live on sky 6 hd our temple university camera looking at the center city key line and a cool day with a high of 81 degrees, dew points near 70 and feel the moisture in the air. a lot of times we have a heavy rain event you hear the phrase, turn around don't drown. i want to use the augmented

reality card to explain why you don't want to drive through any roads that are flooded. driving home friday night. you encounter 6 inches of rain on the road. you don't think it's a big deal but that is enough to stall out your car and you are stuck there, the waters keep rising, one foot of flood water is enough to carry away a small vehicle. you think an suv can get through anything the waters keep rising a foot and a half to two feet of water can carry out even large suvs. turn around don't drown. don't drive through flooded roads, it puts your life in jeopardy and rescuers who come to rescue you. it's cool with the cloud cover, 77 in reading and cape may 77 and beach haven 78 and wilmington 79. satellite 6 along with action radar showing the system i'm tracking is still getting its

act together. there is one low pressure over ohio and another piece of energy over minneapolis, what these two will do is join forces and become a summer nor'easter and the problem with the system it's slow moving and it's going meander, friday afternoon into saturday afternoon. the possibility for heavy rain and 1 to 2 inches sound and along the coast wind gusts 35 miles per hour through the day on saturday and the potential for severe weather does exist to the south. could have isolated storms with the potential for damaging winds but really i'm concerned about the possibility of flash flooding. this kind of breaks down the day. low risk of rain tomorrow morning during the morning commute. we start to get more moderate risk of rain for impacts and the heaviest rain is late tomorrow night into saturday morning. with very heavy downpours and

that rain will be lasting into saturday afternoon. so saturday is not looking to be a pretty day. meteorologist, melissa magee, left the rum bar and is now on the beach in brigantine. perfect weather to fly a kite. melissa, are you flying that? i'm impressed? >> yes, no i'm not. chase is flying the kite. we have the constant breeze off the ocean and as we head into the weekend it's going to be rough going, on friday cloudy with date lay rain developing a high temperature of 81 and saturday not the best of beach days. rainy and windy and winds gusting as high as 35 miles per hour. a high temperature of 79. and on sunday we'll have breaks of sunshine and improvement on the way with a high temperature of 78 degrees and something to keep if mind there is a moderate risk of rip current, we'll enjoy

the beach time before the storm rolls on in. you have fun this weekend down at the shore. every time i hear music -- i want to dance. >> sure melissa if you head to the poconos it's race weekend and a rainy start showers tomorrow and 80 degrees, saturday cool and wet and 67 and the good news is it drys out for the main event on sunday. sun and clouds and 75. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast that heavy rain developing late in the day friday night. 82 degrees and the rain lasts through the day on saturday. 73. sunday a bit of a battle with clouds and sun and 78 degrees and monday again mixture of clouds and sun and temperatures rise up to 83 and then a big change in our weather pattern. it's warm and dry and 87 on tuesday and wednesday 89 and thursday partly sunny and humid with a high of 88 degrees. we still have time to fine tune
