Rainy and cooler Father's Day weather in Philadelphia, showers continue into Monday AM commute
Steady rain will taper off this morning but the chance for on-and-off spotty showers continues around the Delaware Valley this afternoon, though it won't be a complete washout.
High temperatures Sunday stay about 15 degrees below average and are expected to top out near 68 degrees in the city.
In Delaware, a Code Orange Air Quality Alert is in effect Sunday. Sensitive groups, including children, the elderly and people with breathing, hear or lung problems, should limit time outside.
Temps stay cooler over the next few days, and we have more chances for steady rain and thunderstorms overnight and into the Monday morning commute.

Hot with only isolated storms Thursday & Friday into the upcoming week. Highs each day will be in the 90s. INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood Tropics Tropical Storm Erin formed this Monday morning. Erin should rather quickly become a hurricane while moving steadily west. Early indications are for a pretty sharp turn north once over the SW Atlantic. If accurate, Erin would then stay east of Florida next week. Things could change, though! A couple of disturbances over the North Atlantic have little chance to develop significantly. A weak area of low pressure over the Northern Gulf should soon move inland. Always more: 'Talking the Tropics With Mike'.

Lee Fire now fifth-largest single wildfire in Colorado history. These are the other four.
The Lee Fire near Meeker is now over 113,000 acres, fire maps show, and has surpassed the Spring Creek Fire of 2018 as the state's fifth-largest wildfire. Over 1,000 firefighters and a dozen aircraft are involved in efforts to contain and extinguish the fire, along with the nearby Elk Fire. A number of evacuations have already been ordered. For a live, interactive evacuation zone map, you can click here. The size of the fire has exploded since growing from 13,000 to almost 23,000 acres on Aug. 6, when Gov. Jared Polis issued an emergency disaster declaration. It has grown steadily in the days since, breaking 100,000 acres on Sunday. The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control maintains a list of the largest wildfires in the state's history. A quick overview of the agency's data shows the following: No homes have been lost in the fire, but several structures have been damaged. A full accounting of the damage likely can't be completed until the fire is extinguished, and as of Monday afternoon, it was only 7% contained. The most destructive fires in the state's history so far are as follows: At its current size on Monday, only four fires in state history are larger than the Lee Fire, although the West Fork Complex of 2013 comprised several fires in close proximity to one another, including the West Fork Fire at 58,570 acres and the Papoose Fire at 49,628 acres. Some rankings group the fires all as one, but the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control categorizes and ranks them separately. That agency's list shows the following four fires as being the only ones larger than the Lee Fire: Weather conditions are not expected to help containment efforts for some time, with relatively low humidity and winds of 7 to 10 mph until Friday. "Near critical fire weather will return today," the Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team said in a statement. "This will include low relative humidity, periods of gusty winds from the north and clouds in the late afternoon. Critical dry fuels with the expected weather could result in extreme fire behavior in some areas of the Lee Fire." There will be a community meeting about the Lee Fire at 7 p.m. on Monday at Colorado Mountain College's Rifle Campus, 3695 Airport Road, where fire officials will provide updates to the public and answer any questions that community members have.

New Jersey city still has little or no water pressure 4 days after water main break
PATERSON, N.J. — Residents in a northern New Jersey city grew more frustrated Monday as they endured a fourth day with little or no water service following a water main break. Some were relying on portable showers and toilets to meet their basic needs. But officials in Paterson — the state's third-largest city — said some relief should arrive by Tuesday night.
