Tuesday morning commute in Philadelphia region to be impacted by scattered storms. Here's the forecast.
Tuesday will be the most impacted commute day of the week, thanks to a round of scattered morning storms. Parts of the Philadelphia region are under a marginal risk for severe weather, meaning a few storms could bring gusty winds, heavy rain and maybe even some localized flooding. Expect a slower ride in, especially during the early morning hours, and keep an eye on the radar before heading out. More showers and a possible thunderstorm could pop up later in the day as well. By midweek, we're back to sunshine and more typical June warmth. Wednesday and Thursday bring mostly clear skies and a drop in humidity, though temps start to creep higher as we approach the weekend. In fact, we may actually hit our first 90-degree day of the year on Thursday, making it the latest start since 2014. Friday looks warm and a bit sticky again, with a chance for an isolated storm late. The weekend brings more typical early summer weather — humid with a few scattered storms, especially on Saturday, so keep the umbrella close just in case.

Severe night storms hit North Texas with 80 mph winds, causing widespread damage
Clean up, repairs begin after night of storms in North Texas Clean up, repairs begin after night of storms in North Texas Clean up, repairs begin after night of storms in North Texas Sunday night's storm had winds around 80 mph, dangerous conditions that caused massive amounts of damage across the entire metroplex. One of the hardest-hit places was Bonham, where wind and rain caused trees to hit homes and power lines all over town. Sunday night's storm was downright scary, just ask Preston Curry. "I was about to cry because, like, I don't, I'm scared of the dark," said Curry. He slept on the floor in his parents' room. He wasn't the only one feeling that way. "All around me. The house right across the street has had a tree. So tall, big old tree. And it's uprooted," said Philip Blander. Blander said he woke up to debris covering his street after the storm subsided. "I had an appointment in Sherman today at 10:30 a.m., and I couldn't hardly get out," he said. Nothing hit his house, but his friend David Johnson wasn't as lucky. "This morning, we went out there. Look, half of it split, and it fell in the yard. The other half fell all over there toward my kitchen, on top of the roof," said Johnson. A metal roof was completely ripped off a building downtown near the post office. While it took out a power line, somehow no one was hurt. That's something everyone we spoke to said they were thankful for. "I'm just glad that I survived this," said Blander. "Not lucky. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Yeah. I'm blessed ... And I'm just glad nobody was hurt," said Johnson.
