there's still the potential for heavy downpours.e're still under a first alert with a chance of flash flooding. as we go into afternoon, we get braekdz in the clouds, see sunshine and see a break from the heat. still a chance of an isolated shower this afternoon. it's the mugginess that will stay with us into this evening. a muggy evening with partly cloudy skies. this is the line that i'm keeping a close watch on, we'll be seeing heavy downpours moving across i-95 in northeastern maryland, heading towards wilmington. most of wilmington is dry right now. there's a potential for more heavy downpours this morning and that flash flood risk still exists. it will be quickly drying out. look how clear it is to the west we'll see sunshine later this morning. right now, 73 degrees. rain is falling in the lehigh valley. cloudy skies with the suburbs, 70 and 75 in philadelphia. the rain threat, most likely in delaware. the temperatures in the 70s. once that rain moves through, we'll quickly start drying out, warming into the 80s this afternoo

we'll see more heavy downpours.we're continuing our if first alert this morning, into delaware, new jersey, philadelphia and the suburbs, the possibility this morning of more flash flooding. the threat will end this afternoon. we'll get sunshine. we're not going to see something that we've seen for a long time now. 90s will not happen today. we'll be in the 80s this afternoon. i'll go through the forecast hour by hour when i'm back in a few minutes. jessica boyington has your first alert traffic. >> thank you, bill. we're starting off on 95. these are our cameras around cottman avenue. this earlier accident cleared out of the way. there were no problem delays because of the scene. souderton, broad street and franklin avenue, another accident. over in new jersey, 295, the southbound ramp at woodcrest station is partially blocked with emergency construction. tracy? >>> tonight we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union. the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for presid

you can see those scattered downpours across the area.o'clock, what you see is what you're going to get. not everyone will get wet but if you are underneath one of those you'll need to head indoors to stay dry before it passes over your area. by 9:00 o'clock, still looking at some scattered activity across the area. but most of it starts to really diminish once we lose that daytime heating and go toward 10, 11:00 o'clock tonight. so what about the shore forecast? 80 degrees for tomorrow. a few clouds out there. 84 by sunday. maybe some late day scattered showers and thunderstorms on monday. so that's the day to watch clouds will increase also a southern system will be moving in. the pocono mountains looking beautiful mid 70's for tomorrow. upper 70s a lot of sunshine on sunday. low humidity by monday. sunshine giving way to some clouds temperatures top out in the upper 70s. temperature wise right now, it's rain cooled. only low 70s in millville. we have 73 in trenton. low 80s right now in allentown and low 60s in the pocono mountains. rem

surf city to beach haven seeing heavy downpours, seaside heights point pleasant beach, seeing more downpours. this is for central ocean county, lacey, toms river. the bulls eye was northwest of lacey everything is starting to wind down. that's good news there. clouds limited sun, similar to yesterday, more showers and thunderstorms are expected, although it's not expected to be as busy as what we saw yesterday. these are going to be pop up storms that 89 will feel like 93, 94 with the oppressive amount of humidity. we have showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, those could produce flooding problems, i'll be back in a few minutes with the latest from the seven-day forecast. >> the overnight storms wreaked havoc in some areas. look at this, a tree snapped and fell on to a parked suv between 10th and 11th street on south street. nobody was inside the suv at the time. >>> well, police had to block off part of the road in strawberry plans overnight after trees and wires came tumbling down. this happened on the 2300 block of strawberry mansion drive. the tree blocked arch on the northbound sid

but in between we may very well see heavy downpours. greatest threat appears to be delaware, light rain in the area right now. heavier showers are just to the west this morning. temperatures are still cooling this morning. still warm for this time of year when we should be in the 60s. it's into the low 70s, 74 degrees in fox chase. society hill is 74 while 72 degrees just updated in chestnut hill. 72 degrees in andorra. still cooling down with some rain showers in the area. scattered light rain in new jersey, light rain in the lehigh valley. i'm watching closely this band of heavier rain is moving into chester county right now. that rainfall is coming down at a rate of two-thirds of an inch per hour. so that steadier, heavier rainfall. it's much heavier to the south. this is crossing i-95 in maryland and this line is moving to the east, heavy rainfall, falling at a rate of more than 5 1/2 inches of rain an hour. so this is the main concern. this line of showers and thunderstorms will be sweeping into parts of the area. we're already rai

tropical-like downpours today. localized flooding a possibility out of this whole area, targeting more toward buzzards bay and the cape and the islands. the best chance of seeing locally heavy rain later this morning. right now you're saying, where is the rain. it's quiet across the cape. we've had localized downpours across northern mass and southern new hampshire. a few of them through northern worcester county, up through manchester, just west of manchester. a few of them sprouting up north of boston and close to topsfield, getting all the way back north of reading, very close to the 495 belt. just south of methuen and just to the south and east of a couple of them working up route 1 in northern mass well north of much of the north shore here. steady light rain generally speaking for a lot of worcester county and connecticut. what we're watching for southeast mass, where that flood watch is in place would be if we can consolidate some of these heavier downpours close to lyle and drag that across the cape and the

that will lead to the drenching downpours later on. there's the spot to be, the beach cooling off, you'll have a sunrise sea breeze kicking in in the next few hours, forecasting highs of 82 degrees on the sand. everybody else run the risk of a shower or thunderstorm. 79 in philadelphia. allentown 78. the numbers are quickly climbing here. the good news with the approaching system and the increased cloud cover that will put a limit on the temperatures later this afternoon. we're not expecting highs in the 90s today. the bad news as the system approaches it increases the threats for chris sowers and thunderstorms. temperatures are quickly climbing out of the 70s. afternoon lunch everybody is fair game for a shower or thunderstorm and some of the storms will produce drenching downpours and strong, gusty winds. there's the high, 87 degrees. not only today, but tomorrow, as well, tropical like, drenching downpours could produce flooding in some areas. when i come back we'll talk about the flooding situations and time it out for you on futur

we've had localized downpours across the area. this has been few and far quarter of an inch for a lot of town. that's where we stand. it's nice to see the rainfall out there. worcester to sutton over to marlboro. steady rain that extend out the mass pike. nothing flash flood worthy. we'll watch for potential of downpours. some move from the south and west. i think flooding issue would be more isolated verses widespread. as you can see the best yellows, reds and orange shows up south of new england. we really missed out on the complete soaking rain. the narrow band throwing down 1 to 3 inches is to the south of us. the amounts of an inch and over few and far between. with a few down powers there's a couple of towns that have picked up on that. i would say between 11:00 and 2:00 the best chance to see more downpours across your area. we go into the afternoon. you get to 2:00 or 3 in the afternoon a lot of the showers start to diminish in activity. the clouds thin out. partly sunny skies midafternoon and late afternoon and probably a

expect to deal with these downpours for about an hour. you'll probably get into a lull like i am standing in right now. down to the south it's easy to see the cluster of thunderstorms coming up from the south and the eastern shore of maryland and that is part of the package for us over the next couple of hours. 84 in washington, just 76 here, that 76 in philadelphia is misleading when the next hourly number comes up you are in the 80s here, the reason it's a little lower, we had downpours and the rain temporarily cools you off. no surprise there we could get the drenching downpours when we get something started. the dew point in philadelphia is 74, and if you walk around and move around you'll start to sweat that is oppressive humidity, on the pool today not everybody is seeing the rain and there may be someone who is out there saying hey you know what, it's cloudy but you know i can take a swim and it's warm and muggy and feels good. and keep that ear out for thunder, just about anything can see a thunderstorm coming, remember that light

we might see heavy downpours soon in the city. we will zoom in a little bit and you can see you are about to get and hear that thunder in west philadelphia and around the west part of the delaware county. we will keep an eye on that situation and another line of rain, thunder and lightening away in chesterton maryland and delaware. after that gets out of here it will heat up fast, in the upper 90's will feel like 100 or 105 and heat advisory every where else. but i-95 corridor is where the heat will be the worst. we call it the urban heat island. seventy-nine in trenton. thirty-seven in lancaster. eighty in philadelphia 77 in allentown. reading has 77 degrees. where they just had some rain. seventy-three in ocean city. and down in lieu is, delaware we're at 79 degrees. so not a lot of relief, land breeze at the beach today so even if that is where you are heading you will be hot. 98 degrees our predicted high temperature with pop up thunderstorms, again later on in the day. so lots of weather adventures, but bob kelly, you came ba
