00:00Spotty downpours, some hail, some damaging wind.

00:03Again, most of the storms right now are kind of pivoting through north central parts of Wisconsin.

00:08But they're going to continue to move toward the Green Bay area and Traverse City, Michigan,

00:11you can see some action in the hours to come.

00:14Look at Berks County, PA.

00:15Yesterday, what a mess.

00:16Flash flooding was a big problem.

00:17We will see a return of strong thunderstorms, some of these north of Interstate 80 tomorrow.

00:21Some will be severe again on Thursday with the risk for severe weather all the way down

00:26to the Pennsylvania-Maryland line.

00:27But the farther north you are, the greater the threats may be with damaging wind and hail potential.

00:32And that flash flooding in Lancaster County was a huge problem.

00:35We had a flash flood emergency around midnight, late Monday night into Tuesday morning,

00:40and then another influx of heavy rain during the day Tuesday.

00:43So it's been tough.

00:44And we're getting a nice break today.

00:46But there are the storms tomorrow.

00:47Some of these will be severe in parts of New England and eastern Pennsylvania yet again on Thursday.

00:51And as that swarm moves east, that opens the door for a beautiful start to the holiday weekend.

00:56So another cold front is going to kick on through.

00:58And again, we're going to get a nice bit of lower humidity into the neighborhood,

01:02setting the table for a beautiful July 4th holiday.

01:05Nice, comfortable, drier weather.

01:07It'll be warm, but not terribly hot.

01:09So some July 4th forecast putting us right around historical average temps this time of the year

01:13with a good deal of sun.
