2:26 am
starting off tomorrow morning. take a look outside. pretty quiet. looking at the city hall and billy penn a top there. with a mostly cloudy sky. so no turbulent weather just yet on storm scan3 watching the showers moving in spotty at first. that radar is filling in. like a wall of rain moving into baltimore and washington and you can see those yellows and reds and oranges so heavier rain. the only thing that will prevent us from getting a lot of heavy rain tomorrow morning will be the dry air that's sits over the delaware valley. so most locations seeing about half an inch of rain. some possibly higher with some heavier downpours during the morning rush. right now 69 in philadelphia. the same in wilmington. look at reading 72 mount pocono still sitting at 63 degrees. down the shore on shore flow so temperatures in the 60s. close to that ocean water temperature at 70 degrees. future weather shows dry over the region as a good handle of what's going on right now. so initial liesing well. by 7:00 a.m. you see some pockets of heavier rain especially through our suburbs.
2:27 am
