we're looking at 81 in wilmington. 78 in pottstown and look at the dew points. the measure of moisture in the atmosphere, you can see it's refreshing dew points are in the 50s. so as we look that dew point scale, a couple of days ago, we had the oppressive heat and humidity dew points were in the 70s. but right now it's refreshing right around 50 pleasant dew points in the mid 50s. so if you're stepping outdoors no weather worries whatsoever. temperatures by 11:00 o'clock right around 74 degrees. so over the next couple of days, we keep this pattern it's going to be nice, seasonal temperatures. however, we are going to heat up for part of the weekend and reintroduce some showers and thunderstorms the timing of that with the seven day forecast coming up. >> all right. scott, thank you. incredible video tonight of a person on a motorcycle slamming into the side of a car. >> but it didn't stop there. she got stuck under the car. heroic effort of strangers to get that woman free. bill? >> lucy after standing tall battling a fire for over 12 hours, coming up i'll phy

heavy rainfall moves into chester and wilmington is about to see some of the heavier rain. the lightning is settling down. this is a thunderstorm that's starting to settle down as far as lightning is concerned. but still some storms. there is some flooding. the history of this storm system has produced heavy rainfall in the baltimore area. the showers and thunderstorms are a possibility for more heavy rainfall during the day today. a flood threat not only for portions of our area with a heavy rainfall this morning but into this afternoon. you can see the scattered showers moving into philadelphia heavy downpours also in south jersey. it's going to be an on and off stormy day today, 7:00 this morning, showers, thunderstorms 74 degrees. 8:00, we'll get breaks of sunshine. look at the temperatures. this is 10:00. it will be in the 80s at 10:00. 84 degrees. as we head into the afternoon. your neighborhood by neighborhood forecast when i come back in ten minutes. let's see if wet weather is

we have a good amount of rain in the area, light rain in philadelphia and wilmington but look at the storms we see to the south, no lightning with but it looks like the lightning is off the coastline in milford and fortescue and cape may and sea isle city, and atlantic city and further into seaside highs a few pockets of rain there, some more in woodbury and pottstown and honey brook and coatesville are all drying out, the rain is trying to push through and lets go outside and see what is looks like, this is our temple university camera we have light rain falling in the city and the clouds are suppressing the temperatures 73 in philadelphia but the dew point is up there. oppressive humidity at 69 degrees, the wins out of the west at 9 miles per hour. and here are reports, limerick 2.1 inches of rain and plainfield, yesterday and today over 4.5 inches of rain. in franklin township gloucester county nearly 4.33 inches of rain and bass river ocean county they clocked a 60 miles per hour wind gust with a storm that came through. still dealing with the storms that are out there today. sat

even a few low 70s pottstown wilmington as well as millville. mid 70s right now dew point temperatures currently in the dover. so on that scale last week remember it was really pleasant in the 50s but already moving into that oppressive category and then you add in 90-degree or better temperatures by tomorrow and especially the middle part of the week it's going to feel very uncomfortable and even dangerous heat ahead. so isolated pop up storm otherwise it stays warm that humidity starts to build as we move toward the overnight as well. we're looking at 77 degrees by 10:00 o'clock tonight. so the jet stream it's going lift farther off into canada. that's going to open the door for all of the hazy, hot and hued my weather to move if from the south into our area and just take over the next self days. so as we take a look at future heat index by tomorrow morning at 6am it's going to feel like the low and mid 70's across the area for most but by 4:00 o'clock tomorrow afternoon we're looking at a feels like temperature in philadelphia of 94 degrees.

but with residual delays on the airport line and up to hour delays on the wilmington newark line. if it's an easy option for you, you may be able to use the media elwyn line instead of the wilmington newark line depending on where you're coming from. thorndale paoli line still not running for some of you the norristown high speedline may be a viable alternative. on the schuylkill expressway, you definitely want the find an alternative to the westbound lanes we still have this accident investigation and cleanup going on by montgomery drive. just the left lane is squeezing by. that does not bode well coming out of the city. it's a parking lot from approaching the vine street expressway on out to this point at montgomery. the delay really spilling back onto the vine street expressway. westbound side barely moving from broad street out to 76. again you want bail and head for the river drives but as you round those corners really watch out for the ponding and the puddling as much as you can stay toward center of the roads as you use those river drives on those outer lanes you're defini

we're hanging on to the 80s philadelphia allentown wilmington. there could be pockets of the city that don't drop much below 80 degrees even overnight tonight. so what to expect for tomorrow? a couple of scattered showers perhaps in the morning. a lot of cloud cover out there. that may limb the temperature a bit so not quite as hot today but the humidity will actually be higher and then look at this line of storms that comes here in the afternoon. 4:00 p.m. storms off to the north and west. they come through the city between five and 6:00 to really slow down that evening commute. and then moving down the shore by about 8:00 o'clock before we clear thing out by this time tomorrow night but some of these could storms could pack a punch. they placed north and west suburbs in a marginal threat for severe weather meaning any storm could produce downpours gusty winds and frequent lightning. certainly areas south and east of there could see any of those threats as well. but the good news is we'll have dew points in the 70s tomorrow. in the mid to upper

a live look from wilmington delaware. scott when does this rain move good. >> we can expect to see rumbles thunder and hear some of that activity overnight tonight and early on your wednesday. take a look the ultimate doppler right now. take look at this area of low pressure to the western part of the state. it's swirling and also out ahead of it will once port looking at thunderstorm activity pretty quiet right now. but more of that rain will be moving in downpours at times tomorrow. look at the clock. by 4am when you're watching sue you can see around berks county, reading also moving into chester county new castle county, salem, cumberland looking at heavy rain that continues to move toward philadelphia by 6am. downpours on and off again across the area and more tropical humid air mass will stay on top of us. look at the dew points right now in the low 70s. so that's a measure of moisture any time dew points are right around 70 or better, it starts to feel oppressive when you step outdoors. so the bottom line, remainin

wilmington 77. on the beaches temperatures pretty uniform around 74 degrees. and we did have early sunshine but the clouds are beginning to roll in and the clouds will continue to thicken this evening. what this means is temperatures will be pretty slow to drop. 7 o'clock still 80 degrees, 8 o'clock 78, 9 o'clock 76 and by 10 o'clock, 74. so a pretty nice evening out on the town. the problem for tomorrow is that the low pressure that will ride along the stalled frontal boundary, that low pressure right now over northern kentucky and what this will do is interact with an upper level feature so that will allow some of that moisture to be drawn up to the north so it will be cloudy, it is will be cool with temperatures only in the 70's with occasional showers. so, future tracker really timing out the showers showing around 9 o'clock most of the activity will be west of philadelphia. but that shower activity will traverse and move along the coast by 2 o'clock but the good news is for the fireworks, we will be drying things out. so, this is what to expect for the fo
