That is how it will remain through your saturday but refreshing change comes in for second half of the weekend. Double scan live radar will show a couple showers in northern parts of the ocean county. Also a couple of those downpours and showers near dover and eastern kent county and a thunderer storm pushing into western Lancaster County. This is not, severe. It is slowly moving north and east, still at 5 miles an hour along route 30 and split near 283 just to the north of downtown lancaster. Lancaster a few sprinkles and survives because it is moving so slowly to the north and east you can get a quick downpour and gusty wind and excess of 40 miles an hour with this particular thunderstorm. Otherwise, everyone is baking right now. Eightyfour quakertown. Eightyseven warrington. 89 degrees kenneth square. Sitting at 85 degrees. To the south and east hammington on the verge of 90 right now at the shore and sea breeze in the lower 80s but still oppressively humid. Glassboro coming in at 90 degrees, smyrna, dover coming in at 38 to 85. Factor in the humidity it feels above 90 across the the region. You see big change here in the lower 48. We have the 80s and 90s ahead of the potent cold front. Behind that, temperatures are dropping, omaha 64. Bismarck, 72. Chicago 71. All of this is going to push east over weekend. In between that dividing line there are showers and thunderstorms and severe thunderstorm watch east of chicago and eastern great lakes and then some pop up, in the lower part of the southeastern part of the united states. For us though, it is kind of random this evening if you see downpour, thunderstorm to start your saturday morning. Hazy sunshine and clouds. Before the front arrives there could be some, again, pop ups and downpours and thunderstorms early saturday afternoon but the actual cold front holds off until 7 00 oclock in the northwestern suburbs, and then pull is a long i95 between 9 00 and 10 00 oclock and to the shore by midnight, saturday night or into early sunday morning and then it is off the coast. Clouds will linger sunday morning south and east and returning sun from the north and west as we get into your sunday afternoon. With this front, it is not a lot of dynamics. We can see strong storms with torrential rain and wind but slight risk for Severe Weather tomorrow will be in new england with this actual cold front. The big difference will be the humidity, tomorrow dew points stay in the mid 70s, it is oppressive tomorrow. After front comes through sunday afternoon were dropping dew points back in the 50s, area wide and that will be that refreshing air that you feel, in time for the eagles game. Tonight, warm muggy the spotty evening thunderstorm. Overnight lows in the upper 60s to mid 70s and your four day at the four will show tomorrow at 90 degrees is your high, very humid with late day thunderstorms especially during the evening. Very comfortable on sunday, and 79 with dropping humidity and returning sun from the north and west.
