Otherwise the clouds are already starting to redevelop ahead of a frontal boundary. So more weather stories include rain showers after 2 00 p. M. Ahead of that cold front. I do think its actually going to be a strong one with south westerly and westerlies kicking up quite a bit. Rounds of thunder especially likely after 4 00 or 5 00 p. M.

M. , notice the showers kind of moving on in, a few yellows there, some darker green so it looks benign but we get this going, pause it here, the philly metro area. Even though we are seeing yellow, i do think we will see stronger storms so something to keep in mind. Thats because we do have southwesterly to westerly winds moving across the appalachians. As they slide down, that will pick up some speed, lots of energy so this is why i do think dont be surprised if you see one or two strong storms by about midnight, we start to see a little bit of a break but more showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for tomorrow. Heres the tenday on 10. Notice more thunderstorms in the forecast for tomorrow although i do think we will see a break.
