i'm brooke thomas, looking at temperatures topping 90 degrees this afternoon, meteorologist, katie fehlinger is live out on the cbs-3 skydeck, katie, what's going on. >> definitely warm, you said it, guys, i would say it is excessive heat. not like we've never seen this before. important to point out that this is somewhat typical. that over the course of the summer we see days like this unfold, it is just we haven't seen it in a while. when you deal with the kind of humidity that's going to un fowl for our area the next few days, it does feel awfully sweltering outside if you are not smart about it, so get you out, there show you first and for most, the warning we're talking about, all of the counties shaded in hot pink coloring there, basically i95, and the count frist new castle up to mercer, even as far inland as eastern chester county. but talking about not just temperatures that soar into the low and mid 90s, but, heat index values, that's where we get you, with those heat indexes topping off around 100 degrees. in the next couple of days, and the other thing, a warning that lasts for m

thunderstorms are on the horizon this noon, a first look at the forecast, with meteorologist, katie fehlinger, with farewell, hey, katy? >> indeed, you can hear it, i mean, sometimes the sounds is worth a thousand words, right, take a listen. pretty much pouring over center city philadelphia, so folks have your umbrellas ready to go, the thing is not everyone is getting hit by. >> this and we take you right on out to the radar, what you will find, things are very different in nature, i just happen to be one of the stuck outside. keep in mind, dodging hit and miss showers, certainly some thunderstorms to track, as well, across the delmarva peninsula, some of the rain really coming down quite heavily in pockets, granted, but where you are getting hilt you're getting hit hard. so lightning strikes also popping up here just outside of the delaware state line here, this is over in maryland, but this is headed northeast. so, do expect that you are going to run into eventually some heavy rain and probably a little bit of embedded thunder, as well, moving into specially kent county, maybe new castle

meteorologist katie fehlinger is live on the sky deck with her first forecast, katie. >> and, jim and brooke it looks like that heat will in the be, any relief anytime soon. today certainly is going to be a very steamy day, it already here at high noon that excessive heat warning still in effect up and down i-95, and blaring sunshine right now. let get you out there and show you what is happening with the maps first and foremost to the counties involved in that excessive heat warning. it is a hot pink color for a very hot afternoon. up and down i-95 from new castle to mercer county and flanging counties you are included in this warning right now. here's how it feels. this is better view when talk humidity. feels more like mid 90's around the shore points, no less, at the moment, 94 is how it feels in dover. feels like 90's almost every where else. you will only get a little more reprieve heading in the far outlining suburbs, reading, lancaster and poconos it is going to be cooler, but it is a fantastic place to cool off in the pool today. we are not anticipating any scattered or pop u

meteorologist, katie fehlinger live outside on the cbs-3 skydeck with a look at just how hot it will get today. katy? >> certainly on our way, that's for sure, jim, brooke. good afternoon, everyone, actually start today see couple of grace clouds, billowing in here, right over philadelphia. eventually couple of scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to fire up. and that will actually help cool some communities down. won't necessarily be widespread, but you can expect that to start happening within the next couple of hours, in fact, we take you out first here to quick peak at storm scan3, already, starting to see a few pop ups right on the tail end of the loop. see that over the poconos, lehigh valley, as of yet, just clouds, over philadelphia. but, again, we start to see the radar fill in with just trickles of green over the next couple of hours, meantime, we mention that excessive heat warning here is heat index values soaring to around 100 degrees, for the urban corridor specially. meanwhile, here's what it actually feels like right now. there you have it, folks, feels alr

. >> let's get first look at the forecast with meteorologist, katie fehlinger live on the cbs-3 skydeck, good afternoon, kate. >> i afternoon to you both. and these excessive heat warnings advisories, and specially on the heat inch dick, really, they sky-rocketing, already in. the current feels-like in a second, but we point out the alerts first, we start with an all inclusive map here that includes our excessive heat warning that is currently in effect, just went into effect at high noon for i-95, and all of the adjacent counties there, then everybody else, in the outlying counties, sits in a heat advisory, until 8:00 p.m. tonight. now, the excessive heat warning lasts until 8:00 p.m. tomorrow. however, heat index values, through this afternoon, are easily going to be spiking to 100 degrees plus, up and down the i95 corridor. now, here's where we currently stands, that is rough stuff in dover. look at this, 109, what it actually feels like, right now, that is dangerous heatings for example, if you have to be outside, you have got to be taking frequent breaks, you have to be hydrating,

it is practically perfectment meteorologist, katie fehlinger, enjoying the sunshine on the cbs-3 skydeck. katie, how is it going? >> feels so comfortable outside, brooke, warm, not too hot. you definitely don't have the worse of the humidity, that's very low, barely a breeze, so nice dry air mass in place, in short, one of the fantastic hair days, and we continue to see the sun for the rest of the day. this is going to be something that lingers at least initially for the early part of the week, but you can't hang onto it forever. so, let's go ahead, take a look at how the conditions are shaping up out, there call it storm scan3, but you won't find any storms on this radar or satellite in the next couple of days, things still very, very quiet. we will keep it that way with high pressure anchored overhead, right into middle part of the week. things do eventually start to shift in pattern, which we'll discuss later in the broadcast, but for now, you are 80 degrees even at philadelphia international airport down to wilmington, at this hour into the 70s, already topping off at 90 in the city,

let's get a look at today's forecastment meteorologist, katie fehlinger out on the cbs-3 skydeck to tell us what we can expect. >> brooke, thankfully any flashflood watches, flood advisories, all of that and including the actual precipitation itself has since long moved out to sea and we expect to see things clear up. getting brighter on the skydeck, i wish i had my shades with me, also starting to heat up now that the clouds are starting to break. the one thing not going away right now is that humidity. let me take you out to storm scan very briefly, this is three hour loop, see retreat, speedy retreat, and now really just left with clouds, that continue to thin. so it is a little breezy out here, but again, you're not going to see too much of a cool down take place, or any kind of refreshment might be better way of putting it. it will still be hot. already low 80s now, expect to easily spike to the upper 80s with ease later today in philadelphia. but, skies continue to gradually clear, obviously it will start to feel hotter and hotter, combined with fact that we still have some pretty

let's get a first look at the forecast with meteorologist katie fehlinger life on the cbs3 sky deck. it hot out there, katie? we're in nice air-conditioning right now. >> you know this is the first day, guys, i've actually had to step inside in between hits here because being out here for too long is just too unbearable. it's brutal outside. i'll be honest. let's go ahead right to the maps and we'll show you just how excessive it is. everybody is in the midst of some type of heat alert. you've got excessive heat warning where i'm standing here in philadelphia and basically i-95 and all the counties that flank it. heat advisory though posted for everybody else here in the delaware valley. it's a toasty afternoon. take look at these current feels like values. yeah, that's brutal stuff. in dover it feels like 107 already. and here in philadelphia it already feels like we're flir flirting with 100 technically we expect to actually hit 97 right now we are just shy of 90 degrees in philadelphia. but that's going continue to change as we heat up through the afternoon. you've got some sunshi

meteorologist katie fehlinger live on the cbs3 sky deck to let us know how hot it will get today. tie. >> that's thing, jim. because it is still going to get awfully hot today. thankfully you've got couple of these saving graces so to speak from mother nature in that the humidity is dropping off and we don't have to track any storms today. won't that be nice? let's take a quick look though at what storm zap scan has up its sleep. nice and quite here on the radar and satellite bear al cloud in the sky but it is definitely a toasty afternoon. now, the thing is, these temperatures these are your feels like values. they're pretty close to what the actual air temperature s with little bit cooler than this technically we're flirting with or hitting about 90 degrees in most spots. so it only feels couple degrees hotter than that right now which means our dew points have dropped off. so when you walk out the door you'll notice that it's not a crisp afternoon necessarily but it is a heck of a lot more comfortable. with that said i don't want to you, you know, let that keep you from taking c

let's get first look at the forecast with meteorologist, katie fehlinger, live on the cbs-3 skydeck. >> brooke, i feel like the fact that we are finally breaking the heatwave, at least early this morning, was one of those headlines in the weather center that we had to bury because dealing with such heavy rain. now the sun is shining, it is still a tad humid, but it is not as hot. so, it is going to feel, i think, a lot more comfortable for many of you, still quite warm, summer after all. that said, i want to take you back in time, look at the rainfall totals that did come in, very short list obviously but highlight being some of the highlights of the amounts that we did see come in. sea isle city picking up 1.8 inches, pick up shy of three, in dover, delaware, a testament to the fact that the bulk of the really heavy rain ended up falling primarily south of philadelphia. but now you can see, looking at three hour loop here, it is out of here, now, we may ends up with lingering shower certainly, but overall, skies have cleared out, you have got handful of clouds here and there, but it

meteorologist katie fehlinger is outside on the sky deck to tell us how hot it will get this after afternoon. >> another 90 plus degree day, jim and we're already feeling like it is even hotter then that, in some communities, we've got very high dew point is still as we are sort of right within the transition zone where it is at least a little bit of the dryer air mass verse still soupy. lets take a look first and foremost at heat waves of the past and how worst it could really be, at this point. worst heatwaves that we ever had was back in 1995, it was a 17 day stretch, of 90 plus degree heat and then list goes on here, we have had just shy of two weeks worth of the heat wave in 1953 and number three on the list for as long as the heat wave we have ever experienced happened back in 1999. the fact that we are on day six right now of 90 plus degrees, here in philadelphia, it is not all that unheard of. we have seen again far worse then. that storm scan is quiet at the local level. you can see off to the west over portions of maryland right there, and not only some cloud but also some speckles

we will get a check of weather, eyewitness forecast with meteorologist katie fehlinger. >> we are still dealing with pretty impressive heat with temperatures still soaring even as we hit the noon time hour. we have a few more degrees left to go before we are all said and done. the excessive heat warning is in effect up and down 95, lasting until 6:00 tonight and then goes out of effect but we will not be out of the woods when it comes to the heat just yet. we will see that in the seven day but heat index values starting to climb and mere near 100. we will show you feels like values in a second. that is better gauge rather than air temperatures which we will cover. we will take a quick peak of storm scan three. thunderstorms bubbling up further west near state college and harrisburg area with time and that will be coming through our area as well. as we track this, slight risk has been posted for our area in terms of severe potential. marginal risk for philadelphia down through philadelphia and all of new jersey say for immediate coast, but further inland we have had enough heat and insta

lets get a first look at forecast with meteorologist katie fehlinger in the cbs-3 weather center. >> if afternoon to you both. this will be a are hot, stretch for our area and it comes this time for so many people coming to town for the democratic national convention and it looks like this will be a stretch of days that lasts us, well into next week, but we really do have a core of the heat, that is going to be most palpable in the days ahead. that is where we will turn our focus to the excessive heat watch while which turn in the warning but for now just a watch and kicks in effect tomorrow morning, and it will last us right through to monday, afternoon, so a three day stretch, of what we coin, excessive heat. now at the moment on storm scan not much is happening locally but we will show you this wider zoom for a region. we had then are storms rumbling through western pennsylvania a sign have of things yet to come for us. we are expecting isolated thunderstorms today which we will get more into in terms of the detail a bit later in the broadcast but turning to those, heat and how it

. >>> lets get a check of the eyewitness forecast meteorologist katie fehlinger, katie, it is hot. >>ll turn steamy this afternoon. we are expecting temperatures that easily will get in the 90's but more importantly heat index values could even top off around 100 degrees here today. excessive heat warning scheduled to take effect as of 11:00 in counties in the hot pink there. so basically i-95 and urban area that will be most affect by this but next four days we expect to top off in the low to mid 90's. couple the scattered showers or thunderstorms to help briefly cool you down but bottom line is it remains hot for majority of the forecast. >> it sure does. looking outside, we still have this accident schuylkill eastbound near gladwynn moving in the ease bun direction pulled off to that very thin right shoulder causing slow downs for sure. congestion and gaper delay. boulevard very slow moving as well 95 south at girard same story there. i will have more in 20. back over to you. >>> our next update 7:55. up next on cbs this morning a real spike in crime just before the summer olympics

out to katie fehlinger out on the cbs-3 skydeck, looking little gray behind you?porter: very steamy start to the morning once more, rahel. i just grabbed my handy dandy cbs-3 umbrella because there is the most fine drizzle, one i can't decide if i want to open the umbrella or not kinds of situations if you're headed out and traveling in the next couple every minutes, you'll find that in a lot of spot. air just so saturated at this point, these clouds can't do anything but squeeze themselves out with a little bit every rain here. so, let's go ahead, take quick peak of storm scan. sometimes looks can be very deceiving on radar. what you see is not always what you get. we do see rain on the tail end of the loop of the poconos, along i80, couple of showers firing up, drizzling very lightly right where i am standing, radar does not necessarily show. that will so there is some mist to contend with out there. currently our temperatures read into the low and mid 70s in most spots, it is a very warm, very muggy start to the day. this is starting to gelled old, sound like b

let's get right out to katie fehlinger out on the cbs-3 skydeck, and you know it has been so hot, soy, fortunately, little change is coming? >> indeed. in our favor finally here, rahel. we do have it deal with one more steamy day, and even as i say that you step outside, from being in a nice air-conditioned climate controlled studio, and it is like that proverbial pea soup out here, still is he steamy, dew points so high, one thing you will notice the second you walk out the door. in addition, actually still had little rain pushing through the area since the overnight. let's take quick peak at storm scan, which at the moment doesn't look like it is showing very much. but you might have a little bit of meets, if you are hitting the road any time soon, forcing you to flick the windshield wipers once, twice, but it isn't anything terribly widespread. such a saturated air mass that we're dealing with, in addition, because there is so much moisture, because we have light enough wind, it is allowing for somewhat poor visible depending on location, down to two, 1 mile visibility, at the a.c
