tropical storm bill, not even tropical storm any more, but lock at the rain there, they have got a lot of rain through the center of the country. take a look at storm scan3 we are looking at where bill is right now. or what was once bill. and even so, it is just going to be soggy around here. it is already getting very soggiment look at cincinnati. and it has got little bit of territory to go before it get to us. right now none of this is actually hitting the ground around the philadelphia area. we just have the cloudy skies but we've got so much moisture in the air that it is not going to take long when all of this energy gets over here for it to really just downpour on us. so even this afternoon that's certainly not out of the question that we can see some showers at least starting this afternoon. seventy-five, it is warm out there, right now in philadelphia, 69 degrees, in trenton, and 66 in allentown if you are looking for some of the cooler numbers go to the north. if you want the warmth and the humidity early in the morning why not stay through south jersey? seventy-three in millville, 72 down in wildwood this morning.

now, here's what we are expecting tomorrow. remnants of tropical storm bill tropical downpours are still expected, amounts generally, one to 2 inches, but locally by locally we mean, in a spot or two, you may be finding 3 inches of rain. the heaviest should be probably on sunday morning overnight sunday, and the first part of sunday morning and flooding is certainly possible out of this system. there is a flood watch it covers all of us, and that goes from this evening right until tomorrow evening. it doesn't mean that the heaviest rain is all that time. but it just means that some of the cumulative effect of the flooding can still be going on even if we go through sunday evening. so everybody is in this one. so everybody needs to pay some pretty close attention computer model fairly right on with just some clouds out there. it wants to pick up any of the sprinkle in allentown at 9:00 this morning, then as we hit 2:00 this afternoon some showers, and/or thunderstorm can't be ruled out through this afternoon most areas not probably, but then we start to see other chances in other

locations, it is a look at 4:00 subject to change. the take away from all of this guidance not necessarily the exact time but the fact that we've got some heavy rain moving into the area. this is a look at 10:00 tonight. i know so many people are getting married tonight. they want dry weather for this this computer mod whole keep it sort of dry around here around 6:00, 8:00, that time but by 10:00 tonight you start to see some of these rain showers moving in. and certainly as i mentioned the timing can change, so just know that tonight you're going to be want to go keep umbrellas at the ready. 3:00 in the morning tomorrow morning, still rain showers scattered around, see them at 5:00 in the morning and then we clear out little bit. as we go through fathers day tomorrow, but do we see some showers coming back in, at least at the tail end of this, as this system starts to pull away? it is entirely possible. so i think sunday is the day that you will be watching this sky, with the heaviest, probably be taking place, in the morning. timing 2:00 to 11:00 spotty showers, thunderstorms around

here 11:00 p.m., until about 7:00 tomorrow morning, the heaviest rain with some downpours, embed in the that, and then after 7:00 the rain tapers, we do get some clearing, but some scattered showers, and thunderstorms might be coming back in the picture later on in the day before this thing totally gets out of here. future rainfall amount, this is a look at 6:00, by tomorrow morning, and you can see this area of the blue, you are looking at 1 inch plus, if you are seeing purple, that is 2 inches, and again this is going out in time. it is estimating situations can change, but notice you do pick up isolated spot or two where you could be seeing 3 inches of rainout of this system before this thing finally pulls totally out of our way. so, that flood watch in effect tonight, right through tomorrow evening. 82 degrees today mostly cloudy out there right now we get a shower or thunderstorm later on today. same deal at the shore and in the poconos at 72 degrees. so everybody in a pretty similar weather boat, and boat might be the operative word here.

82 degrees mostly cloudy, winds out of the east at 5 miles an hour today. tonight, 72 degrees, showers thunderstorms, some heavy rain possible especially during that overnight time period. and then, as we go through the next couple of days, it is 75 degrees tomorrow. now, tomorrow is a big day for, you know what, that's not 75 tomorrow. that should be about 85 tomorrow, my finger must have hit the wrong spot. 85 degrees tomorrow, it is the first day of summer, and it is also fathers day. monday and tuesday we are still in the 80s all week long but i think the worse of it is going to be as we move through tonight and first part of tomorrow. nicole? >> all right carol thank you. >> right now 5:21, still ahead, raising money for a philadelphia landmark. plus this. >> i'm kevin frazier coming up disney picks will get you in touch with you're motions and takes you inside the mind after young girl in insid
