Will you watch any more of the world cup . No. No. Caitlin, where is arthur right now . Arthur is off the coast of florida, about 90 miles east of cape canaveral, way, way far away. Authorities believe that tomorrow afternoon we will be feeling the effect. Cart you are, we will be, again, that comes tomorrow afternoon. For today though the first big story is the heat, heat advisory from noon until 8 00 p. M. For all of the delaware valley, with the heat index values, of 100 plus. Perfect fuel for the fire, strong thunderstorms expected to erupt, should be brief, but could bring some damaging winds, and some very heavy rain with them for time. Nothing but sunshine today. By mid afternoon, start to see some showers, some thunderstorms break out north and west. I think safe in the city until after plain 6 00. Then we seat the broken line of showers, thunderstorms, not everyone going to see it, and the best bet from philadelphia on westward. They dont look like they hold together down south jersey and delaware. Keep in mind it could get loud corks get wet later tonight with the strong storms coming through. So, after the heat, after the storms, we see bit after lull into early tomorrow morning. In fact, we start out with sunshine thursday morning. Doesnt look bad at all. But the rain will increase, actually, west to east, some of the moisture gets pulled in, from arthur moving from south to north. That will interact with the cold front. Even though it is a coastal system that stays far out to sea, it certainly is not giving us a direct hit. Still going to see the rain from t that band of very heavy rain moves through the whole area, looks like we all see the heavy rain, down the coast, also see rough seas. Showers lingering down the shore, pretty dismal fourth of july. Friday along the coals, definately not beach day thursday or friday. Sunshine breaks out across philadelphia, showers lingering down the shore, fireworks fine, probably for everyone, will just be left over rain down the shore, but, it will improve from west to east, basically, as we go through the afternoon. Temperatures right now, very warm in the upper 70s, 77 in philadelphia, 78 in wilmington, we get to 95 today. And with the humidity, thats why it feels like 100 degrees. So, very, very hot. Heavy rain, from arthur, tomorrow afternoon. It is a sewing start to the fourth. We do clear things out late in the day. We do see the sunshine on the fourth here in the city probably not though down the shore. And then, beautiful weekends awaits. Saturday, sunday, temperatures in the 80s, sunny, then the hot weather carries over into next week, well have your more details fireworks forecast still coming up. But back to the roads, Traffic Authority starting off with the majors, not looking too bad, 476, is looking good, with 28mile per hour speeds, and by looking goody mean not too terrible. On the schuylkill 34mile per hour speeds, and it is pretty slow though on 95 southbound, looking at 16mile per hour speeds into the city. Now there is water main break in norristown. This is on wessel many street, at as tore avenue. Wessel many street is now closed, your alternate there is going to be marshall street to get around that water main break. Also, disable vehicle on 95 northbound past street road. This is on the shoulder. And there is an accident in cheltenham on west church road al willow grove avenue.
