Storm warning for airport

POSTED: Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 9:36 AM

A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for pieces of northern Delaware, Delaware County, South Philly, and South Jersey.

The National Weather Service says a storm capable of producing 60 m.p.h. winds was moving northeast and could affect Philadelphia International Airport by 10.

Elsewhere, a long of storms was heavy rain was pressing eastward, and a flood advisory was issued until 11:30 for portions of Chester and Montgomery Counties. Here's the radar image.

It's a rather dramatic looking mass, and more of the same is expected later this afternoon into tonight.

After what we went through in July, however, for our money it beats an "excessive heat warning."

    The Tonner's wearing out his '77 Maverick going back and forth to the Booze Barn stocking up on Genny Cream Ale. This summer is killing the Tonner's liver.

    Tonner, you've got this flyboy intrigued with all your talk of GCA. Can this nectar be found at state stores? If not, from where are you buying it?

    "is in effect for pieces" and "a long of storms was heavy rain was pressing eastward"? Who wrote this? Someone from India or China?

    Aviator - The Tonner you should be able to find Genny Cream Ale in state stores but you'll have to buy a case and find a store with a wide selection. If you find yourself in NJ, you can try a twelve pack.

    Find a Genny Cream Ale distributor in your neighborhood and let the Tonner know if you enjoyed the nectar of the gods:
