so, we will eventually get in on that across southern portions every lancaster county, chester county, see how it holds together. see a lot of it previous activity actually sort of fizzled with time. so here's hoping that's what happens with that particular pocket. meanwhile deeing with potent trough digging into the atmosphere. telling eventually with heavy thunderstorms and flashflood watches not in effect just yet, but take effect at noon today. generally for philly, surrounding vicinity, across the river, then off to the north and west. that's where we have the best likelihood to see any heaviest of our downpours, and where it could lead to some flashflooding issues. seventy-five is the current temperature meanwhile at the airport, cooler up toward mount pocono, lancaster. everybody's feeling the steam. as we go off to the northwest, again, talking about much cooler air starting to settle in, place like buffalo, state college, only into the 60s right now. so starting to see some signs every cooling trends take place. this is slow system to move through. so, it is hot. it is steamy

but as you move west ward into reading, 78, pair of seven in lancaster.ere's satellite six with action radar. southerly wind moving in the region. we also have some evidence of a storm moving across west of that i-95 corridor. we had a shower or thunderstorm earlier today. i would not be surprised if we have one early this evening before the the sunsets, and we will get some of that, cooling that will take place in the atmosphere. here's your set up looking at future tracker six. fast forward to 8:30 tomorrow morning. two things are happening tomorrow. one, we will continue to tap in the southerly win. humidity increases tomorrow. and with that southerly wind and that moisture on the way there is another threat of some showers and thunderstorms, namely, popping up as we get in the afternoon hours on sunday. so 2:30 future tracker six is showing you a line of showers along i-95 corridor from trenton to wilmington. as we move over to the north of the poconos a few more the scattered showers that we will be tracking. 8:30 tomorrow evening, the bulk of that a
