rain especially for the first half of the day as this cold front takes its time to move off shore but that's okay because we do need the rain across the region. the rest of tonight maybe a stray shower or two up in the lehigh valley, poconos. tomorrow waking up dry so best shot to be outdoors would be through the first half of the day. we'll take you to 2 o'clock. some spotty showers breaking out, best chance up towards the lehigh valley and poconos. then as we head towards 8 o'clock, evening hours better chances for some showers and storms closer to philadelphia. looks like most of south jersey stays dry. and then on monday with that front right over us, some more heavy rainfall is that possible. so again that's tomorrow later during the day into the evening, shot to see some scattered showers and storms. watch out for local downpours gusty winds and potential for localized flooding. if you get stuck under one of those slow moving storms. overnight partly cloudy, isolated shower possible far north and west a low of 70 degrees. tomorrow late day scattered showers and storms and sunshine, 88. of course we have the big race down at the monster mile, dover, delaware, dover speed

way 84 dreams i think that race should make it through the entire event dry. light chance for a storm late but that should be in the evening hours. at the shore tomorrow, little bit cooler 78 but not bad ocean water chilly at 60. slight chance for a shower or storm. just keep your eyes to the sky. here's the extended forecast. late day showers and storms sunday with a high of 88. cooler on monday with clouds and showers, maybe a thunderstorm. our coolest day will be tuesday, 76. could be some morning showers. see a stretch of dry weather returning, very comfortable for the middle of the week upper 70's. next weekend looks like we approach the mid 80's again. again needed rain then we catch a break from the heat and humidity by the middle of the week. >> lesley joins us with a look at sports. >> yes, and the phillies hopefully after losing five in a row can win one. phillies with their rockies down at the bank. aaron harang on the hill
