Philadelphia weather: Showers, thunderstorms expected ahead of major cooldown

We've been waiting for this Thursday because that's when we've been told like it's going to be rain, maybe even the S word right in some parts of the area. And then the temps are dropping. Right. So this is a big day. Yeah. Weren't you getting tired of that beautiful weather day after day? No, no, I wasn't. Well, it's going to change anyway. And starting today, but not. Quite yet for most of us. Let's go outside. It's not as beautiful a day in the neighborhood as it was yesterday, but there's a Ocean City, New Jersey, and there is that deck of clouds and the sunshine. I think the clouds are going to win eventually. So our number of the day is a five because we expect. A little bit of sunshine, showers, and occasional thunderstorms, probably late morning, early afternoon is when we'll see those thunderstorms fire up, so be prepared for that. Bus stop Buddy is with his umbrella and his raincoat for later on. It's dry right now. We're in the 40s and 50s, and we'll get into the 50s or stay there with those thunderstorms by the time the school bus brings Buddy home. We have 55 degrees in the city at the moment, and temperatures that are a little chillier elsewhere and some. Rain north and west of the city, Lehigh Valley, up in the Poconos, and a few other places right now. By the time we get to about 11 a.m., that's where we're seeing the thunderstorms fire up in the city and the Philadelphia area. And temperatures staying in the 60s and 50s throughout the rest of the day. So, yeah, wet leaves around today and a high temperature of 62 degrees, sunset time 447. We'll give you some very low numbers of temperatures coming up in the seven-day forecast. All right, thank you, Sue. So let's check the roadways in. I'm Bob Kelly today. In Bucks County, an accident is causing delays both north and southbound on Lindbergh Avenue on Bustleton Pike. Taking a look at the traffic flow, you can see some low speeds across the area there. And there are seven delays and one cancellation at the airport right now. So it's up since the last time we checked. Two more delays. So make sure you check on your flight before you get to the airport.
