responsible for the temperatures getting a lot milder here today, and sort of just back to row al at this. so let's take a look. storm scan3 obviously brinking in little hint of wet weather here, couple of locally heavier showers, rolling through portions of northeastern pennsylvania, right across the garden state border there, but overall, you know, i think it will start to clear out as the day progresses, the probes still have to get the cold front through. looking at the wider zoom here, there is little bit of circulation, and shape to this, that you can start to make out. well we have seen numerous incidents of severe weather breaking out here, down to the lower mississippi valley, texas, over the last day or so, and it doesn't necessarily look like this is going to be major severe weather outbreak for us, but we are actually in a slight risk, right out toward the shore points here, for some severe thunderstorms. and primarily, into tonight, this afternoon, you have to worry about it, but if we brighten up, if we see enough sunlight, will help the up lift get underway for gustier storms, these are primary issues, i think talking gusty

winds out of this, perhaps heavier rain, and yes, definately some embedded thunder, can't have thunderstorms without thunder. meanwhile, what did i tell you? look how much warmer it is, have seen surplus over 15 degrees, in most spots, and some even higher than 20 degrees, from this same time yesterday. so, no frost issues today. do not worry about. that will just little too warm for that. but hey, you might need to flick the windshield wipers number of times. watching for the morning shower chance to just retreat out of here, later today we ends one some sun, then tonight the rain moves in. if there is any showers left over tomorrow, very early in the morning, then should quickly clear out for sunshine, thursday looks beautiful, don't bling, though, already have to watch for some showers as early as friday afternoon. guys, back to you. >> all right, the prime time football game last night, it could have been a lot more one-sided than it was, seattle seahawks had three touchdowns called back due to penalties, but still beat washington. washington did hit on 06-yard touchdown in the first half,
