We have a lot going on. We have some showers, we have some thunderstorms and actually we have more weather in the sevenday with some unsettled news especially as we head toward the weekend. We have had some wild weather as of late. Were talking about just not the past couple days, even earlier in the month. It was a slow start to the summer. Now it seems like storms have been hitting every week. Kate bilo has the latest on the wild weather and whats behind it. Hi, kate. Reporter hi, kathy. We are live here in voorhees, an area that got lit very hard with yesterdays storms and rain continues to fall on this huge pile of tree branches you see here next to me. The house behind us is a big blue has a big blue tarp on the roof. Look at these piles of debris here. Were seeing roof shingles that were ripped off this house, were seeing pieces of a fence that are completely splintered and broken, old playground equipment as well and back further down that street the fence completely bent and power lines dangling. Neighbors drove up earlier and said it was like nothing theyve ever seen before. They said have you heard of a down burst wind . I said ive heard of a down burst winds am i said is that what you experienced. They said it was a wind rushing down the street taking trees and power lines with it as the wind went. There was ill tell you what its not the first time weve had horrible weather like this this month. If youve been thinking has the weather been really bad lately or is it just me, heres a hinder. Its not just you. July 2nd intense storms with an incredible amount of lightning over 10,000 strikes in three hours. July 3rd, storms with damaging winds, trees on cars in northeast philadelphia. July 4th, flooding down the shore due to a strong front and hurricane arthur. July 8th, severe storms with winds over hour leave hundreds without power. July 10. July 14th Straight Line winds bring destruction in voorhees and southampton. Todays storms with downpours and flash flooding. The intensity may have you thinking its like winter all over again but with rain and in a way thats accurate. The pattern this month has been characterized by a strong jet stream and frequent intrusions of cool air pitted against tropical moisture and heat. Often in summer our area gets locked under a ridge of High Pressure leading to days of heat and hume. In ontaft this july has featured a fast moving pattern with strong cold fronts every few days leading to explosive Thunderstorm Developments. And explosive Thunderstorm Development is what we saw again today and of course yesterday leaving this destruction behind. The good news is were in for quieter weather as we head through the rest of the week and maybe we can finally start to get into a more settled summer pattern. For more on the rest of the week well send it back into the studio with kathy. Thanks very much, kate. Much of the time we depend on that right, but were not getting it this summer. You can take a look outside our sky can three across our center city studios, color, damp and showery in center city. Down the shore the same thing. Look at the taj and resorts in Atlantic City, a little bit of a haze and a fog with some drizzle down there. Some more rain for you tonight as well. We have a cold front thats moving across the region. Set up now just to the west of harrisburg and all this moisture is going to push toward the north and east but we have to find the back edge to the south and its moving through baltimore and washington, so everything will be lifting northward and out of the Delaware Valley by the overnight hours, i would stwie clock, 3 oclock, 4 oclock in the morning and then it will just be some drizzle and some mist. We do have a heavier cell right now with some heavy downpours through Lancaster County and concerns for flooding there, some flash flooding is potentially possible during the late night hours with rain rates of 2inches an hour and this is moving toward the northeast so northern berks county could get in on some of this heavy rain. Elsewhere it will be light to moderate overnight. That Flash Flood Watch has been extended until 6 oclock in the morning just because of these cells that have been popping up, that one in Lancaster County thats moving toward the northeast. A Flash Flood Watch once again until 6 00 a. M. Sunshine louis center us this picture flooding in the village in cape may county. Peter sent this from williamstown. You can see the cars splashing in the heavy rain the flash flooding occurring quickly with little notice. Right now looking at temperatures that are rain cooled in the 70s, some 60s in the poconos but nothing compared to what theyre experiencing in the great lakes. Milwaukee 56 degrees, International Falls 51. More like october or heading into november but that will not be lasting that long. This front moves off shore, it dries out, comfortable wednesday, comfortable thursday. By the time that really cool air makes it temperatures will cool down into the lower 80s which will be very comfortable. Its not just the heat thats going to ache a break, its the humidity. Dewpoints in the 70s are oppressive. Thats going to change. By tomorrow afternoon, the numbers go down into the 60s. And thats not so bad. And by thursday, in the 50s hwhich is nearly bone dry. That means no stick factor. Its not going to be humid in the least as we head toward the end of week. Overnight any showers and storms will come to an end, it will be mostly cloudy, the low 70s, highs in the lower 80s for your wednesday, breezy and comfortable, just a great day to be outside. The same goes for thursday and for friday. On the exclusive eyewitness weather sevenday forecast, saturday 84 with a late day shower possible. And an afternoon storm possible sunday but nothing like weve seen as of late and then it gets a little warmer and stickier as we head through the beginning of next week. But it has been an unusual month at that.
