More storm chances, fog in the Philadelphia weather forecast for Thursday
The morning fog will likely become more widespread around daybreak, but we're already seeing low visibility around the Brandywine Valley in Pennsyvlania and Delaware.
As far as the storms, these will likely blossom by midday along the I-95 corridor before moving east. We are under a low, Level 1 risk of flooding today, as these storms could be slow moving and produce flooding downpours.
Expect storms to move out by 8 p.m. before we dry out for Friday.
Otherwise, expect high temperatures in the 80s across the region, a little cooler at the Shore. Up in the Lehigh Valley, which got more of the brunt of storms Wednesday, storms should be more isolated on Thursday.
Out in the Atlantic Ocean, Tropical Storm Erin is expected to begin really strengthening today. We will keep an eye on the storm that could become the first major hurricane of the 2025 season.
Humidity will remain in the "muggy" to "gross" range on our muggy meter through the weekend, but there should be sunshine Saturday for the Eagles' preseason game versus the Cleveland Browns at Lincoln Financial Field Saturday.
Thursday: Humid with a PM T-Storm possible. High 88
Friday: Sun, chance of a PM shower. High 89, Low 74
Saturday: Mostly sunny. High 88, Low 71
Sunday: Mostly sunny. High 91, Low 71
Monday: Some sun, T-Storm chance. High 88, Low 73
Tuesday: Mostly sunny. High 81, Low 67
Wednesday: Partly cloudy. High 82, Low 68

Drier weather expected across Maryland for Friday
Storms that developed across the area this afternoon have dissipated or moved out of the region and the rest of tonight looks quiet. Expect partly cloudy skies and temps in the 70s. Some patchy fog will be possible As the night goes on, the front will slide into the Carolinas, letting drier air filter in. Western Maryland will wake up to comfortable 60s Friday morning, while central and eastern Maryland will start the day in the low to mid-70s. Friday is shaping up to be a refreshing change. Cooler Canadian air and lower humidity will settle in for much of the state. Highs will be in the 80s, with mountain areas holding in the 70s. The front will still be close enough to bring a stray shower or storm to southern and eastern Maryland, but most areas will be dry. Saturday looks just as pleasant - plenty of sunshine, seasonable temperatures, and low humidity. A quick shower is possible in far southern Maryland, but otherwise it's a great day to be outside. By Sunday, high pressure will move offshore and allow summer heat to build back in. Highs will climb into the upper 80s to mid-90s, and most of the day should stay rain-free. A few showers could arrive late at night. Another cold front is expected Monday, bringing our next chance for scattered thunderstorms, especially across southern Maryland. By midweek, that front could stall nearby, which would keep clouds and cooler air around for parts of the state, but also mean a chance of showers and storms each day. Bottom line: a few storms to get through tonight, a comfortable break Friday and Saturday, then the heat and humidity make a comeback to wrap up the weekend and start next week.

FEMA begins preliminary damage assessments in Chicago after July floods
Some Chicago homeowners are still dealing the aftermath of the torrential rain that caused flooding at the end of July. It's why the Federal Emergency Management Agency joined state, county, and city officials this week to go door-to-door in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood to survey the damage in one of the areas hit hardest by the storms. Weeks later, some in Garfield Ridge were still dealing with cleanup from the flooding, so city, county, state, and federal partners began performing a preliminary damage assessment on Wednesday to get a sampling of the damage. "We're out on the street today," Illinois Emergency Management Agency recovery division chief Greg Nimmo. "We're giving it everything we've got." The preliminary damage assessment is the first step of a flood damage review before a state and local review that goes to the governor's office before making a formal request for federal disaster recovery assistance from the White House; all following the major storms that soaked Chicago for three consecutive days in late July. "This is a necessary and preliminary step in order for the state to request federal assistance," said FEMA public affairs specialist Kim Keblish. "FEMA's mission is helping people before, during, and after disasters; and that's exactly what we're doing today." Tony Biliskov said, in 52 years living in Garfield Ridge, "we learned don't put anything on the basement floor." Biliskov and many others in Garfield Ridge suffered water damage in their homes, after water backed up into their basements from the city's overloaded sewer system. "I had maybe about four inches of water in the basement," Biliskov said. It's a problem he's all too familiar with. "We used to get flooding all the time," he said. Earlier this week, the city rolled out a new program installing 50 special flood sensors across the city to provide real-time alerts of flash flooding. Experts have said for years that climate change is bringing more extreme weather and more rain. With some Chicago neighborhoods bearing the brunt of the rainfall totals, flooding impacts parts of the city differently. It's one reason the damage survey work is so important. "This is a process. You know it's not a 'We come to your door and, by golly, you're going get a check tomorrow' kind of thing," Nimmo said. The damage survey continues through Sunday.
