Feels-like temps could reach 105 degrees Thursday in Philadelphia area, chance of showers continues
A heat advisory is also in effect for much of the area Thursday until 8 p.m.
There will also be a chance for some late-day and evening storms that could be strong and severe. Currently, in addition to heavy rain and the threat of flash flooding, localized areas of damaging winds may also occur in the stronger storms.
In fact, we'll maintain this pattern through Friday, with partly sunny skies and isolated storms each afternoon. Temperatures will also soar to either side of 90 during the day and mid-70s at night. High humidity will lead to heat indices that feel close to 100 degrees. We will be monitoring for any possible heat alerts, and with the very high dewpoints, flooding rain will remain a concern in any thunderstorm.
The best day of the extended forecast looks to be Saturday, with highs in the upper 80s, plenty of sunshine and reasonable humidity levels. Then, it's back to active weather with showers and storms on Sunday. Your NEXT Weather Team will keep you posted.
Thursday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat and storms. High 94, Low 76.

Kissena Park users say many of the drinking fountains, restrooms and more are out of service
For the bocce enthusiasts who gather daily at Kissena Park, surface conditions have long been an obstacle. "The court is very bad," Rafael Shalom said. Players say court maintenance depends on running water, but for years, the spigots have run dry. "This is a regional park in downtown Flushing, the park is filled on weekends, and there's no water," arborist and park steward Carsten Glaeser said. He estimates one-third of the park is without functioning drinking fountains, sprinklers, or restrooms, causing concern as temperatures climb. "I get aggravated, and so does everyone else that comes here," park regular Julio Mora said. The Department of Parks and Recreation told CBS News New York the outage can be traced to two broken water service lines. The agency says it is seeking $25 million in capital funding for repairs. Advocates say New York City parks are chronically underfunded, receiving about half a percent of the city's overall budget. But some residents worry other parks are getting priority. "There's always some parks capital going on somewhere," Glaeser said. "But we don't see anything here." In a statement, Councilmember Sandra Ung told CBS News New York that her office has allocated $12 million for Kissena Park improvements, writing in part: "I remain committed to working with my colleagues in government to secure the necessary funding and push this project forward so that families in my district can once again enjoy all that Kissena Park has to offer." New legislation passed by the City Council requires city parks to install at least 50 new outdoor drinking fountains by 2035. Kissena Park regulars hope their park will be first in line.

Hollie Strano, former WKYC meteorologist, to do forecast work for southern radio stations
Hollie Strano, the former WKYC Channel 3 meteorologist who was fired in September 2024 from the station after 22 years, has found new work broadcasting the weather for southern radio stations, she said on Facebook. "What an honor it is to be bringing you the forecast each day, from my hometown in Cleveland to your radios down South!" Strano posted. "Grateful for the opportunity, and excited for what's ahead." The radio stations will be based in Georgia and Alabama, Strano reported. 'I love me, finally': Hollie Strano shares her recovery story, offers hope to others Why was Hollie Strano fired from WKYC? Strano was arrested and charged in November 2023 with one count of operating a vehicle under the influence by Cuyahoga Falls police after her vehicle crashed near Towpath Tennis Center on Akron-Peninsula Road, hitting a fire hydrant. She reportedly had a blood alcohol level of 0.244%, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08%. She later pleaded guilty to the charge. Following Strano's dismissal, she sued her former company, claiming she was terminated for sharing her story on social media regarding her treatment for alcoholism and for promoting a product on her social media pages, although she said she received nothing of value from the brand for making the post. Strano currently hosts the "Abruptly Authentic with Hollie Strano" podcast which streams on Youtube.
