Yes, you are watching adults in government, in action. You are on a roll today. It is friday. Oh, my gosh. Still ahead on Eyewitness News wet start to the weekend could be much worse. This is what people are dealing with in the midwest cars submerged, people trapped in their homes, we will tell you where worse of it was, coming up, katie. That is also to keep in mind, folks our weekend watch really does get better from here. Once we get pennsylvania today , we are going to be paid back in a nice way not only is it quiet weather but lower humidity, seasonal highs in the 80s, so a nice summer july weekend for us here, with sunshine, all day long, for a change, how long does that pattern last, however . That is the question, ill have the seven day forecast ill answer after the when you switch to progressive. Winds stirring. Too treacherous for a selfie. [ camera shutter clicks ] sure, ive taken discounts to new heights with safe driver and paperless billing. But the prize at the top is worth every last breath. Here we go. [ grunts ] got em. Ahh. Wait a minute. Whole wheat waffles . [ crying ] why part of wisconsin is under a state of emergency as much of the midwest deals with severe flooding, high waters may have stranded people on road in, their homes, flooding in burlington, wisconsin threatened a damage cut power to nearly every business. Much of the midwest flood warnings extend throughout, this weekend. I know were watching storms but do we need to be aware of flooding. We at this point will need to think bit. We showed you earlier in the show Flash Flood Watch has been issued lasting until midnight for southwestern half of the region and philadelphia is included in that. We could get doused here. We had a couple round of rain roll through earlier this morning. Anything else we do find out there is certainly going to cause some headaches. I know we just want to get weekend started without any problems. You have to keep in mind these storms could be quite dicey, toward the typical evening rush hour. Lets just get out there and start off with storm scan three to recap here, all this is coming courtesy of a cold front, this is catalyst that will finally send us back into some more pleasant territory but we have to deal with the clash in the atmosphere, get that out of the way, before we can expect nice weather to come witt. So, it is still very steamy outside, youll fine round of soaking showers and thunderstorms, right now riding right along or south of i80 but more will fire up in that southern branch. Lets talk about that Flash Flood Watch one more time southwestern half of the delaware valley, including filed a, it runs until midnight for round of heavy rain which could produce locally two to 4 inches of additional rain. That would lead to flooding. If you run into poor drainage, bottom of the hill or off ramp or just, you know, to the creeks and streams that tend to flood out of the banks regularly, those are the areas where youll fine war taking place. If you know maybe your street is prone to this dont be shocked if it end up happening from the round of rain coming through. Severe Weather Threat is still quite real, however and we are seeing that slight risk, as far north as parts of the lehigh county, so once more a day, another Severe Weather risk and to me it looks like primaries being will be heavy downpours, gusty wind, frequent lightening which we will get to in a second. Lets focus on when things actually happen. Here we sit at noon time. Im not crazy thousand initial ized but still a good guide, we will take a look forward here, and what youll find, little lull in the action. Very likely some of you break out into some sunshine. That will be helpful for a stronger thunderstorm to get going here. Once this moves in five or 6 00 p. M. , summer fest in even if inningsville i know they have a backup plan for rain for summer fest festivities but keep in mind there could be wet weather to deal w if this end up verifying were talking blinding downpours over Montgomery County or thereabouts, toward 6 00 p. M. Tonight. So we really need to keep an eye on the radar. Lauren will have her hand for for five and 6 00 oclock shows tonight. Check in with her if you have to be somewhere but then things do clear out in the early tomorrow morning and we will be left with beautiful weather, just wait, get through today with the downpours, wind issues, lightening, hail cannot rule it out. I cannot rule out tornado but that is still a very low risk, even lower then hail threat today so that is good. Outside here, where we ended up with the Tornado Warning outside on the bernville area in berks county 72 degrees, incredibly muggy, one thing that has changed here today is temperature. You are not talking mid 90s like we had yesterday. We are only held back to oh, say mid 80s at best, for daytime highs. That is even below average but still so steamy, but promised you nice weather, it comes along saturday, sunday look just awesome, warm, but still july. Yes. Looks great. Thanks, katie, appreciate it.
