when was last time we had decent rain? it has been a while. for month of august so far check out this graphic. .3 of an inch, almost halfway through the month. the that is well below average. we should be well over an inch for the month already and last time we had over an inch of rainfall in one storm you have to go back to july 27th. where we had an inch and a quarter. now how much rainfall will it take to start flooding? well, thinks flash flood guidance for six hours. look at these numbers. incredible. it has been so dry it will take over 5 inches of rain and six for many spots across delaware and south jersey to get flooding. further north philadelphia, it is to the northern suburbs, pretty much the same story. flash flood guidance for philadelphia is 3.9 inches. up to 5 inches up to the lehigh valley. it doesn't look like we will see widespread flooding but if you get stuck under one of those severe showers and storms you have to watch out for some street flooding in some spots. but again nice night here in center city. the river should be in good shape but you will need

umbrella for how much rain we are talking about and timing of this storm, we will send it back to the studio for a check of the forecast. >> thanks very much, that picture behind me is so beautiful it doesn't look real. the here's another beautiful picture the boardwalk in atlantic city. the the view right here. you can see dunes, sea gulls flying about. we are looking at a pleasant afternoon and evening, some showers moving in but not until late tonight, and into the day time tomorrow, right new a live neighborhood network takes to us lower merion high school where it is just a pretty day, looking really close to the top of these trees we are seeing a little color moving into those trees. that means fall is no the that farrah away. we have had some cool temperatures, a little bit below average this month but we will heat up again. right now in philadelphia 81. eighty in trenton. seventy-nine in millville. seventy-four in the poconos. our cool spot. eighty in reading. eighty-one in allentown. storm scan three shows clouds moving from the south and west and some showers over d.c.

the main thrust of the showers will come with the warm front during the morning hours of tuesday. and then heavier rain will hold off, until tomorrow night. area have low pressure is the culprit so warm front lifts through tomorrow we will be in and out of showers and a few then are storms. this cool front approaches, heavy rain tuesday night and early wednesday morning and that exits off the the coast and we will see dry conditions for wednesday. improving day. really after that we're in the clear for a number of days. fair weather high pressure anchors itself over region and brings us below average but very pleasant conditions. here's rain amounts. once that rain starts early tomorrow morning through wednesday morning heavier rain appears along i-95 corridor in the north and west between one and 2 inches of rain, inch or less through south jersey and delaware. we will let you know this that changes. severe weather threat from reading through philadelphia, atlantic city and to the south and to the west. biggest potential here would be any then are storms late tomorrow night with potential for damaging wind.

when you put it all together here's what we expect. tuesday night through wednesday one to 2 inches of rain. that is when heaviest rain will fall. poor drainage flooding as justin mentioned is a good possibility and threat of the gusty thunderstorm or isolated or scattered severe storm here and there but you will see some rain showers during the day on tuesday night not just a lot of rain around. tonight mostly cloud soy showers possible late, low of 68. period of rain for your tuesday, thunderstorm possible, high 78 on the forecast and shore cast rain will end wednesday morning giving way to dryer conditions. thursday and friday looking terrific with highs around 80. we will warm it up over weekend and shore temperatures stay warm as well and then by machine we are in the upper 80's again and down the shore temperatures around 83 degrees. so another nice week despite about a day and a half of some dreary weather but i think, if we look at the month as a whole. >> pretty good so far.
