>> good stuff. >> another difficult day in the weather department with some strong storms heading our way. let's take a look right now, storm tracker 6 live double scan around the region. we're basically quiet. we can see a sprinkle there to our northwest suburbs and in baltimore a shower that will migrate towards our area but the real activity once again doesn't happen until the afternoon hours. let's go outside and show you what it looks like as we go live at philadelphia international airport. we have lots of clouds and some low clouds with all that moisture that came through with those severe storms yesterday. that temperature 75 degrees already in philadelphia. the dewpoint 70 degrees. it feels oppressively humid. the winds south-southwesterly, hard al breeze but really pumping up that warm and humid air mass, the pressure dropping 29.80-inches. satellite radar showing we'll be in and out of the clouds. you can see the showers starting to pop up. nothing heavy just yetly we'll wait for daytime heating to help fire up the atmosphere

and we'll watch this progress on future tracker 6 giving you an idea of what it's going to look like. at 2 o'clock this afternoon maybe a spotty shower in a couple places. by 4:30 it starts to get a little more organized. once again moving through through your drive time hours and not really clearing the scene until even early tomorrow morning. it looks like we're looking at another round of shower activity. so we are under a slight risk for severe weather once again with the gusty winds, the heavy downpours and the lightning as well and the downpours could be a real issue. we have those flash flood concerns and that's because of the strong jet stream. we've got the cooler air aloft. we could see 1 to 3 inches of rain with any of these storms that form and it's possible that along that front that we could have some training of the storms and that's where the storms kind of follow the same path and hit the same areas over and over and the reason for that, the winds are parallel to the front can help kind of create in situation so something we'll be watching closely, some strong storms coming again especially this

afternoon into the evening hours. so here's your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast. drenching thunderstorms at times. we start off pretty quiet, it's just warm and kind of sticky out there with 87 for your high and then later this afternoon and as you're driving local in the evening that's when you want to expect these storms moving through. they don't exactly clear the area. it's not just one line that comes through. we expect that tomorrow morning we'll still be dealing with some early showers or even a thunderstorm. then in the afternoon it's quiet tomorrow, so breezy and cooler and fine for the union game, a high of 83. thursday's refreshing. we really get the lowering humidity, it starts to set in wednesday night into thursday so it's the pick of the week, 83 degrees a pleasant day with partly sunny skies. friday we start off okay, sunshine, then we add increasing clouds, a high of 85. chance for a thunderstorm at the end of the day. saturday some spotty thunderstorms around, 84 for your high and that means that many spots will stay dry so it's just something to watch for, nothing like we're talking about today with those drenching storms. sunday clouds and sun, probably a better chance for a few thunderstorms around and

86. monday warm and humid and 87. we saw those powerful storms yesterday and today is going to be another day when you want to keep a close eye to the forecast and we will help you through it all day long. >> good to have you to do that. thank you karen. a man is suing cook county illinois because he was accidentally locked in a cell at the county jail for 30 hours. he was visiting his son an inmate at the jail. guards led him to an eight by eight visiting room that was under renovation. suddenly polk says the steel doors shut behind him and locked him in. after about five minutes he started to scream. >> screaming, hollering out, screaming under the door. >> he could hear voices of the guards on the other side of the door presumptively if he could hear them, they could hear him. >> polk spent 30 hours in the room without food, water or bathroom facilities. he finally broke a sprinkler head on the ceiling to cause
