Scattered showers Tuesday in Philadelphia region, tracking severe storms later this week. Here's the forecast.

Getting used to the clouds and cool temps yet? Hopefully not as we have MAJOR changes in the forecast in the Philadelphia region in many ways.
First, Tuesday will bring another cloud-filled sky with temps a bit warmer than the past few days but still well below the normal high of 84 degrees. In addition, we'll see passing showers with an occasional thunderstorm possible. By Wednesday, we're back in the 80s with a greater chance for storms, including a chance for an isolated strong to severe storm. Parts of our area are in a level 1 risk for severe storms, so we'll keep our eyes on it.

Thursday is a NEXT Weather Alert day as a stronger line of storms may push through the Delaware Valley during the afternoon and early evening, bringing lightning, heavy rain and the possibility for severe weather. Most notably, the storms will bring the risk for strong winds, an interesting way to end spring as summer officially arrives on Friday, and wouldn't you know it, the pattern starts to shift just in time.
We'll finally see a bump in temperatures heading into the weekend, with highs climbing back toward the mid to upper 80s and humidity sneaking in as well. It may not be a major heat wave into the weekend, but it'll definitely feel more seasonal and summer-like. So, if you're planning to kick off summer with a trip to the Jersey Shore or some backyard grilling, the timing looks just about right.

Get ready for the heat, though. Starting Sunday, we could be entering our first heat wave of the year. That means three or more days in a row hitting 90 degrees or higher, and this stretch could keep going into the following week.
For some context:
Last year's first heat wave ran from June 18 to 23, and the last one hit at the end of July.
Both topped out at 98 degrees.
Our last 100-plus degree day was on July 7, 2012, when we hit 101 degrees.
And the longest heat wave on record? A whopping 12 days back in 1901, including two scorchers over 100 degrees.
Because of the heat, we'll also be on NEXT Weather Alert Day for Monday as well, tracking feels-like temps of 100-plus degrees. Stay with your NEXT Weather Team for the latest.

Allegheny County issues code red heat advisory due to impending heat wave

Allegheny County will activate a code red heat advisory beginning Sunday, June 22, through Wednesday, June 25, due to extreme forecasted heat that could pose risks to vulnerable residents. The activation is based on the National Weather Service and Centers for Disease Control's HeatRisk tool, which considers how unusual and prolonged the heat is for this time of year, as well as the potential for serious health impacts, according to a provided news release from county officials. "We've always responded to heat emergencies, but this year we're being more systematic," said Erin Dalton, Director of the Allegheny County Department of Human Services. "Senior centers will now more consistently extend their hours on Code Red days, and we'll be assessing conditions to potentially expand overnight shelter when extreme heat persists into the night. This pilot approach will help us learn what works best to keep people safe." Residents are encouraged to check on neighbors, friends, and family, especially those who are older or medically vulnerable. Allegheny County Emergency Services is reminding residents that heat is the leading weather-related cause of death nationwide, surpassing the fatalities caused by floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and lightning. Tips to keep yourself safe during extreme heat include drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated, even if you are not thirsty; keeping cool by using wet towels, putting feet in cool water, and taking cool showers; spend as much time as possible in cool or air-conditioned buildings; staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day; wear sunscreen and hats with other loose-fitting clothing; and never leave pets or children in vehicles. Cooling centers opening In response to the forecasted temperatures, CitiParks will open six cooling centers on Sunday, June 22, through Wednesday, June 25. When operating as a cooling center, senior centers will welcome residents of any age. The Department of Human Services is also taking additional actions, including outreach to older adults, children, and people experiencing homelessness, in coordination with the City of Pittsburgh and other municipalities, according to a news release. On Sunday, cooling centers will be open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. From Monday through Wednesday, the centers will operate from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. A full list of operational cooling centers is below. Beechview Healthy Active Living Community Center 1555 Broadway Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15216 Brighton Heights Healthy Active Living Community Center 3515 McClure Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15212 Greenfield Healthy Active Living Community Center 745 Greenfield Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15217 Homewood Healthy Active Living Community Center 7321 Frankstown Road Pittsburgh, Pa. 15208 Sheraden Healthy Active Living Community Center 720 Sherwood Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15204 South Side Healthy Active Living Community Center 12th and Bingham Streets Pittsburgh, Pa. 15203

Tips on how to file an insurance claim for storm damage

Helpful tips on how to file a insurance claim for storm damage Helpful tips on how to file a insurance claim for storm damage Helpful tips on how to file a insurance claim for storm damage Many people are dealing with damage from downed trees caused by Thursday's severe weather – that means dealing with insurance. No matter what you're dealing with, starting the process as soon as possible is key, and that starts with documentation. Take as many photos and videos as you can for your insurance company. If necessary, take steps to prevent any further damage, like covering broken windows or tarping up a damaged roof. Save your receipts. Many policies reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses related to the claim, like paying for a tarp or lodging. When it comes downed trees, where they ultimately fall makes all the difference. If a tree falls in your yard, but doesn't hit anything, that's likely on you to pay to clean it up. But if the tree falls on your house, that's a claim with your insurance company for removal and repairs to your home. Now, if your tree falls on your neighbor's house, then it's your neighbor's homeowners' insurance policy that's going to be responsible. If it's your car that was damaged in the storm, as long as you have comprehensive coverage, you'd file that claim with your auto insurance. One thing to keep in mind after a storm is the scammers. The Better Business Bureau warns that they might pose as a utility repair worker or an insurance adjuster. Never pay money up front if someone shows up at your door, and never share your policy details with anyone until you verify who they're with.
