PHILADELPHIA - If you woke up Thursday morning and thought it felt like summer, you wouldn't be wrong.The temperature at Philadelphia International Airport only dipped to 68 degrees early Thursday, and it had already warmed to 70 degrees by sunrise.Not only is this warmer than the average afternoon high for this time of year (64 degrees), but it's nearly on par with the average morning low in the middle of summer (70 degrees). (FOX Weather)The warmest low temperature ever recorded on April 14 is 62 degrees, which occurred in 2014.But even though that was topped by 6 degrees Thursday morning, the record might be safe because temperatures are expected to drop below 62 by midnight as a cold front pushes through the Delaware Valley later on Thursday. (FOX Weather)The cold front is expected to trigger the development of scattered severe thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening before pushing offshore overnight.Areas shaded in red on the map below from eastern Pennsylvania into Central and North Jersey have the greatest risk of severe weather in the FOX 29 viewing area.

That includes the cities of Philadelphia, Allentown and Trenton.The risk of severe storms is slightly lower in South Jersey and Delaware, but an isolated stronger storm is still possible in those areas. (FOX Weather)Damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning are the main threats from Thursday's thunderstorms.Localized flash flooding is also possible, mainly in areas along and northwest of the Interstate 95 corridor. (FOX Weather)Bright sunshine returns to the Delaware Valley on Friday with highs in the lower 70s.

Delaware County passes emergency ordinance in response to recent Crozer Health closures
MEDIA, Pa. - The Delaware County Council passed an emergency ordinance stating long-term care facilities and hospitals must provide notice to the county when developing plans to close long-term care facilities, hospitals or large portions of hospitals.This comes in the wake of a series of temporary or permanent suspensions and closures by Crozer Health.The ordinance requires 180-day notice be given to the county of decisions to close all or portions of a hospital or units of a hospital. For example, 180-days notification of the closing of ambulance services, behavioral health departments, labor and delivery or ERs must be given to the county.The county is also requiring establishments to provide closing plans to the Delaware County Health Department no later than 120 days from the anticipated date of closure.Beginning in January of this year, Crozer Health has closed or suspended a number of health units, including its maternity ward at Delaware County Memorial Hospital and emergency room services at Springfield Hospital, among others.The ordinance also states specific information for the continuance of patient care must be included in any closure plan, as well as plans for where to place emergency department patients, dealing with medical records and how communities will be accommodated for future care.The county let it be known that any failure to comply with any part of the ordinance will result in court action. Advertisement"While the passage of an emergency ordinance is a drastic measure, it is both justified and necessary," said Delaware County Vice Chair Elaine Schaefer.

Trustees pass indoor masking requirement for Thames Valley District School Board
Thames Valley District School Board voted to implement a masking requirement for indoor spaces on Tuesday night, however the TVDSB’s legal counsel noted that such a requirement is not enforceable.The motion from Trustee Corrine Rahman was originally presented during a special meeting held last Tuesday in response to a growing number of staff absences at Thames Valley that have been tied to illness.During that meeting, trustees voted that the motion was out of order after Trustee Meagan Ruddock voiced concerns that the group lacked the authority to pass such a motion, meaning Rahman’s motion could not be voted on. Trustee motion to reinstate indoor mask mandate fails at TVDSB meeting On Tuesday, the Board of Trustees met for another special meeting and board chair Lori-Ann Pizzolato informed the group there may have been a miscount on the vote that resulted in Rahman’s motion being deemed out of order.The vote was held again, with trustees instead voting Rahman’s motion was in order, paving the way for another round of debate on the matter.The motion requires staff, students and visitors to mask in all TVDSB buildings “until such time as Public Health Ontario updates this guidance or the Local Public Health Units in TVDSB explicitly advise otherwise.”“Students will not be required to submit medical documentation for exemptions,” the motion added.#BREAKING: TVDSB Trustees passed a motion from Trustee Corrine Rahman to implement a masking requirement for indoor spaces during a special meeting tonight.
