hey, cecily. >> hi, rick and monica. this is the last week of spring and it certainly already feels like summer. double scan live showing that we are looking at a few pop-up downpours but they're very isolated not widespread. one of one cluster right now moving through the lehigh valley just north of 22, south of 512 heading towards easton just north of bethlehem. no cloud to ground lightning strikes with this cell, it's just a heavy downpour with all the humidity in the air it can really pull down a lot of rain in a short period of time. another one through gloucester county right now right over coles mill road moving through the east. that's beginning to die down as it does. but it is certainly hot and humid and the live look on double scan, the wider view showing what's going on. there's a warm front up to the north so most of the focus of thunderstorm activity is missing us to the north. however, i am watching this cluster moving through near washington, d.c. if that stays together, it will be moving through delaware

meteorologist melissa magee takes a look. >> thanks adam & cecily. it was certainly a wild start to 2015! examining the past helps us forecast the future so let me show you how the year's shaped up so far. it started with what, for many, seemed like the winter that would never end. temperatures averaged more than 5 degrees below normal from january through march. the worst was february, when temps averaged near 10 degrees below normal making it the coldest we have seen in 36 years! snow was still in the air as late as march 30th in many areas. then came april and may and it was instantly spring with temps averaging over 3.5 degrees above normal. now, everyone wants to know which of these patterns will set up over the summer months. >> based on what we have seen over the last few weeks much of the summer looks to be warm & humid with a bermuda high set up off the eastern seaboard and the jet stream ridging northward into canada. this looks to be the case about 60% of the time. however, there will be dips in the jet stream to provide brief spells of mi
