00:00The severe threat does continue. We're just too cool and stable up to the north. It's more spring

00:04or fall like up that way. But down into areas in the northwestern suburbs of Philadelphia,

00:08western suburbs of Philadelphia, we're dealing with severe thunderstorm warnings for

00:11parts of Chester County, PA, and down into Lancaster and still southeast parts of York

00:17County, PA, under severe thunderstorm warnings. And behind the storms, a flash flood warning

00:22has been issued here for much of Berks County, including Redding, areas around 422. Look out,

00:28and we have some issues there. Also, flash flooding continues into Pittsburgh and Allegheny

00:32County. Severe storms plunging southward. The action off to the east into Westmoreland County

00:37has been weakening. But down into Washington County, PA, they're still intense and still

00:41severe at times. And flash flooding is still an issue into Dayton, Ohio. Heading down into

00:46the south, we've had some strong storms flaring back up there on the east side of Lake Norman

00:50over northern parts of the Charlotte metro. And also down into Atlanta, the south side

00:55of Atlanta facing a severe thunderstorm complex with ground stops continuing at the airport

00:59there. Slow moving storms still severe up into parts of the Florida panhandle. But thankfully,

01:04the heat is gone. We're at 62 degrees here in Portland, Maine. And nobody on the map is even

01:10in the 90s at this hour. Virginia Beach is down to 89. You're the warm spot on the map. So the change

01:15has been remarkable. It's a 26 degree drop in the past 24 hours in New York City. So enjoy it.

01:21Tonight, lingering showers, even a thunderstorm or two farther south. We're going to be dealing

01:25with some downpours tomorrow and some risk of flash flooding, especially into central

01:30Pennsylvania, western PA, into western parts of Virginia with some slow moving, very significant

01:35downpours. Let's take you now to Menominee in Wisconsin. Damien.

01:40Yeah, once again, Jeff, here as we take a look at this camera from 511wisconsin.gov. Yeah, you can see

01:46the wet roads out there continuing here across parts of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa. We even have severe

01:51storms stretching from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, even into Texas. So once again, 1,300 miles worth

01:56of severe weather from the Great Lakes all the way down through the Rio Grande pretty much.
