Temperaturewise down the shore around 79 for cape may point, 82 in beach haven, 86 millville, 88 wilmington, 88 in reading, 89 degrees in the lehigh valley. But again, even though we are not in the 90s this afternoon, it does feel like its still 94 in dover, 92 in wilmington, 91 allentown, close to it for philadelphia and trenton, even beach haven 87 degrees is your heat index. Its because that humidity still remains on the high side. Low pressure whisking away the our north and east. Were catching a break. If you look to the west you start to see some scattered downpours and thunderstorms in the ohio and Tennessee Valley. That is low pressure that will push to the north and east and it will pass by here late tomorrow in the morning and especially during the afternoon. Tonight patchy fog and areas of fog developing with the very damp ground and high humidity. 72 philadelphia. 68 for allentown, the same for lancaster. As we look at future tracker6 at 2 oclock tomorrow afternoon again you can see some of the bright colors on the radar so if you do have outdoor plans, keep them but just know that more than likely many areas are going to get hit by these really heavy downpours and even some gusty thunderstorms. That continues through 10 oclock tomorrow night. And even as we go into sunday its not as active on sunday cause the energy moves away but there still could be some scattered downpours on thunderstorms as we get into sunday afternoon. So as we take a look at the models here for the weekend rainrainfall it shows from threequarters of an inch to almost 2inches of rain. Its not all day but its just indicating when you get hit by one of these storms it could have a healthy amount of rain with them. As we look at the shore forecast for saturday it looks pretty decent at the shore. Mix of sun and clouds. Any of the storms look to hold off until the evening of 80 degrees but it could erupt pretty quickly here in the city for a wet afternoon of 86 and in the poconos we do have nascar in town. I think its going to be many interruptions for the race at 75 degrees with very heavy afternoon storms. As we look at the four day at 4 00 forecast for the rest of that weekend, its still very humid on sunday. Again with a thunderstorm or two around, 85 degrees. Stays tropically muggy on monday with again the chance for these popups in the afternoon of 86 and then we finally take away the chance for rain on tuesday, partly sunny. 84 sounds nice but it still stays a little on the humid side and well talk about the return of 90 degrees with that seven day in the next half hour as we actually that is august in part of that fourday, the first week of august well talk about. 90s coming back.

Only fios can. Weve got breaking news just in to us. Youre looking now at ground video that we have taken in minquedale New Castle County were being told that a New Castle County Police Officer and a prisoner have been injured suffering serious injuries in this accident that happened along route 13 in the northbound side area of the 295 ramp. Yeah, this is right by the overpass there. Apparently a dump truck ran that Unmarked Police cruiser off the road into the guardrail. The officer was heading back to New Castle County Police Headquarters with that prisoner in the car. Again, both them suffering serious injuries but we are pleased to report those injuries not expected to be lifethreatening. Much more on this as the developments unfold throughout the evening here. Lets check in with meteorologist adam Joseph Standing byes been a busy week in the Weather Department with the storms and heat and now the weekend. Its going to be busy weekend as well especially on saturday with more storms and downpours around. Facebook and twitter. And follow you. You go ahead and do your thing. Take a look at double scan live radar. Well show that north of the poconos theres a couple of popups around here but again a pretty dry afternoon after a soaking rain yesterday afternoon into last night. 91 the heat index right now in allentown, 90 in reading, 92 in wilmington, feels like 94 in dover and close to 90 for millville and even points along the shore in the mid and upper 80s so its still tremendously tropical out there despite were not in the 90s for air temperatures at a. Again, we have a little wedge of dry air in place but you can see to the west theres energy pushing in from the ohio and Tennessee Valley and that ripples through here tomorrow late morning into the afternoon into tomorrow night. So, just a few patchy clouds tonight. Areas of fog developing with that humidity being sky high, 68 to 72 degrees for that overnight low. Future tracker we start off with a blend of clouds and sun tomorrow morning at 8 00 a. M. It is dry. But then youre going to see these downpours and thunderstorms cooking up into the early afternoon hours. And some of these will be some pretty hefty storms and downpours but if youre going to be south of philadelphia near the shore or southern delaware and the beaches, it looks like any of these downpours or thunderstorms should hold off until the latter part of the afternoon or evening and you can see he a good concentration of very heavy rain especially through our pennsylvania counties tomorrow Late Afternoon and evening and going even into sunday Morning Energy still lingering around to develop storms at any point and that continues into sunday afternoon although sunday afternoon looks like it will be a little less intense than saturday. So, what to expect here for the weekend. Again its not a washout. However, with that oppressive humidity well have more clouds than sunshine and numerous downpours and even some of those thunderstorms that develop could have very vivid lightning or very strong winds and if you get under one of those downpours or thunderstorms locally we could see rainfall in the order of over 2inches much like what we saw yesterday and last night. So, at the shore again youre good for most of your saturday, 80 degrees. And watch for those popups late saturday evening, saturday night and throughout the day on sunday of 81 degrees and a lot of folks heading up into the poconos. Many of them already there today for nascar in town. Heavy thunderstorms and downpours on saturday, not a great race day at 75 and still a chance for a thunderstorm or two on sunday of 68 degrees. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast 80s over the weekend but again very humid both days with those downpours and thunderstorms popping up. Same thing on sunday but little less activity here on sunday. Then as we get into monday, muggy, still a chance for a afternoon thunderstorm and downpours at 86 and then a bit drier tuesday, wednesday, thursday into friday. We start in the middle 80s next week but then as we get into thursday and friday, temperatures hitting that 90degree mark yet again so again, not the best of weekends but just if you have outdoor plans tomorrow just watch, keep your ear opened, your eyes opened to the skies.

And with victoza®, a better moment of proof. Victoza® lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill, which didnt get me to my goal. Victoza® works with your body to lower blood sugar in three ways in the stomach, the liver and the pancreas. And while it isnt for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. Noninsulin victoza® comes in a pen and is taken once a day. announcer victoza® is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take victoza® if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. Stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or if you develop any allergic symptoms including itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. Serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. So, stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. Tell your doctor your medical history. Taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. The most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.
