Severe storms Thursday in Philadelphia region to bring heavy rain, damaging winds. Here's the forecast.
Those showers and storms will develop ahead of an approaching cold front that will put an end to this heat wave and usher in much cooler air by Friday. They will also be bringing flooding rain and the chance for a severe storm or two, mainly in the form of damaging winds.
The Storm Prediction Center has our area in a moderate risk for flooding, which is a 3 out of 4 on the risk scale. The primary time frame for the greatest impacts will be 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., with a heavy focus near the evening commute.
On Friday, the high temps will likely only top out in the mid-low 70s, which is much closer to the record for the coldest high temp (69 degrees) than the normal high in the upper 80s.
Friday is also the start of August and the start of an extended cooler stretch of air bringing relief from the heat through the first week of the month.
Highs Friday and into the weekend will be in the upper 70s to low 80s, with morning low temps in the mid-low 60s. In fact, many places Sunday morning will likely be in the 50s.
Thursday: NEXT Weather Alert for heavy rain. High 90, Low 76.

McNair High in Stockton flooded by water main break, students shift to remote learning
A Stockton-area school is shifting to remote learning for the day after a water main broke and caused flooding on campus. The Lodi Unified School District announced Monday that McNair High School will be on remote learning for the day due to the situation. "Students will need to log onto their Google Classroom during their class periods. Students on campus will be going home," the district said in a statement. Video from the scene shows significant flooding in one of McNair's buildings. It appears several classrooms are impacted. Workers are trying to mitigate the damage. It's unclear how the water main broke and how long the school will be in remote learning. Lodi Unified schools only just returned from summer break last Tuesday.

Temperatures to rise in Suffolk this week as heatwave looms
Suffolk is set to warm up this week as a heatwave is predicted to hit the county. With Storm Floris approaching, Suffolk will be cooler on Monday and Tuesday as it brings rain and wind from across the Atlantic. A spokesperson for the Met Office said Monday: "Looks likely to be a windy day for areas with some rain and showers at times. "Turning rather windy as cloud thickens through Monday morning, with outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, moving east through the afternoon, followed by dry and clearer conditions later." By Wednesday, the temperature is set to rise, with clear skies and highs of 25C. However, due to an increase in high pressure, the county will experience warmer weather and drier conditions by the end of the week. Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds are set to reach 26C in the latter stages of the week, with Felixstowe set to be slightly cooler. Throughout the week, it will be partly cloudy and sunny across the county.

London weather: Capital set for two weeks of glorious sunshine after evading Storm Floris
London is set to bask in up to two weeks of glorious sunshine after evading Storm Floris, the Met Office predicts. Britain was swamped on Monday with large downpours and gusts of up to 80mph (129kph), resulting in amber alerts across Scotland, as well as yellow warnings in northern England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Thankfully, London avoided the worst of the heavy showers and strong winds that battered much of the UK, resulting in trees felling and travel mayhem. Blistering heatwaves that blessed the city with highs of 30C (86F) and above this summer have faded in recent weeks. However, following days of relatively cloudy skies, the sun will return to the capital this week, forecasters say. Temperatures in London are set to soar from Wednesday onwards as the Mercury teeters in the mid to high 20s. Meteorologists predict that London will experience highs of 27C (81F) on Sunday, potentially persisting into the following week. The Met Office's long-term forecast reads: 'As we move towards the middle of the month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, more settled conditions becoming more widespread with above average temperatures.' Looking ahead towards the end of summer, the forecaster added: "High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely for the second half of August. 'Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times, these perhaps more likely later in the period. 'Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south.' Nevertheless, any peaks are unlikely to exceed the highest temperature of the year so far was 35.8C (96.4F), recorded on July 1 in Faversham, Kent.
