FORECAST: Chances for thunderstorms continue to increase
FORECAST:
We will be tracking thunderstorms throughout the area as we enter the weekend.
Today, more storms will emerge on the western side of the viewing area, including near York and Chester counties.
We'll see more pop up tomorrow in the heat, and it will end with more widespread downpours on Saturday.
This will certainly have an impact on the Lovin' Life Music Festival. However, severe weather is not expected.
The top threat will be heavy rain and lightning.

FORECAST: Afternoon storms roll in ahead of weekend's cold front
ABOVE: The latest forecast update from Severe Weather Center 9. To stay on top of changing weather conditions, be sure to download our free WSOC-TV weather app. FORECAST: Another day of heat and humidity across our area with highs again in the low to mid 90s and a heat index at or above 100°. Scattered downpours fire up again this afternoon and like the last several days will last well into the evening. Then the changes start to come in. A cold front arrives on Friday and while it won't really cool us down just yet, it will provide more of a focus for storms. Best shot for heavy downpours on Friday will be on the south side of the area. We'll still be around 90 tomorrow afternoon and still plenty humid. Cooler air then moves in on Saturday with highs just around 80° and some light showers. Drier air comes in by Sunday and we stay close to 80°. Slightly warmer, but still in the 80s for the first half of next week. >> Channel 9's Weather 24/7 stream has the latest local weather all day, every day.

Tropical Storm Keli to weaken to a tropical depression: See tracker
Hurricane Iona is not the only named storm spinning in the central Pacific hurricane basin – Tropical Storm Keli is also active, although both storms are harmlessly far from land. "The central Pacific Ocean is in the midst of an unusual tropical cyclone 'outbreak,' recording two concurrent named storms for the first time since 2015 and its first major (Category 3 or stronger) hurricane since Dora in August 2023," said WPLG-TV hurricane expert Michael Lowry in an e-mail on July 29. In an advisory issued at 11 p.m. local time on Tuesday, July 29, the National Hurricane Center said Keli was located about 605 miles south-southeast of Honolulu, Hawaii, with maximum sustained winds near 40 mph with higher gusts. Forecasters said Keli is expected to weaken to a tropical depression by late Wednesday and dissipate by Thursday while moving quickly westward during the next day or so. While eastern Pacific tropical storms and hurricanes can affect the west coast of Mexico and their remnants occasionally affect the Southwest U.S. with drenching rain, central Pacific storms usually miss all land areas, though they can sometimes affect Hawaii. This forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time.

It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time. Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 miles per hour. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Delaying potentially life-saving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," NOAA recommends.
