00:00 I'm Ariella Scully said it is another

00:02 hot day into the Northeast now,

00:04 not as hot as our temperatures were on Friday,

00:07 but still very humid out ahead of a

00:10 front that will bring us strong and not

00:12 severe and possibly severe thunderstorms.

00:14 94 today your exclusive accurate

00:16 forecast into Philadelphia 96 into DC,

00:18 but notice Pittsburgh Syracuse.

00:20 Your temperatures dropping as we

00:22 go throughout our day today because

00:24 as that front moves through bringing

00:26 the thunderstorms bringing the clouds

00:28 coverage and then eventually bringing

00:30 the cooler temperatures but still

00:32 several locations here throughout

00:33 our Saturday afternoon,

00:34 New York City and DC.

00:36 Accurate the real field temperatures

00:38 100 to 105 but Richmond accurate.

00:40 The real field temperatures could be as

00:42 high as a 110 degrees for our afternoon,

00:45 so the fuel is there for these

00:47 thunderstorms between the heat and

00:49 the humidity and that driving

00:50 force of our cold front here.

00:52 So that's why we're watching the

00:54 risk for some severe thunderstorms

00:56 from Pittsburgh to scrape into

00:57 Albany, Boston and New York City.

00:59 Here watching for that weather.

01:01 The flooding downpours localized

01:02 damaging wind gusts 6 to 70 mph.

01:04 Accurate local storm ask all the

01:06 way up to 80 mph so this will

01:09 cause travel disruptions as we

01:10 head throughout our Saturday and

01:12 Saturday evening but then notice

01:14 from West to East we start to

01:16 clear out and cool down Detroit.

01:18 61 tonight, Pittsburgh 63.

01:20 Meanwhile,

01:20 thunderstorms could still be impacting

01:22 I-95 from Boston down through DC as

01:24 we head into the afternoon and

01:26 evening down through DC as we head

01:28 into our Saturday night as this

01:30 front advances it brings much

01:31 nicer weather for the second half.

01:33 Of our weekend,

01:34 so not a weekend washout.

01:35 Look what happens here as we head into the day.

01:38 Sunday, New York City 83,

01:40 Philadelphia 85 Burlington 76 and it

01:41 does look like those cooler temperatures

01:43 do stick around as we head into

01:45 the start of next week.
