afternoon. that storm then moves by to the south. it makes a very close path to our area and depending on which computer model we will look at move this precipitation further to the north, could mean a decent dose of rain for us thursday night and friday morning it does look like the storm may try to stay to the south which would take most of the heavy rain off the coast but we have a plan on the threat for some rain thursday night and cloud and showers on friday should clear out just in time for the the weekend. overnight partly cloudy comfortable 68 degrees. for your wednesday mostly sunny, warm, less humid and most importantly in the 80's. it looks like heat wave will draw to a close for tomorrow, your shore forecast, mostly sunny less humid at 85 degrees for wednesday. now you're witness weather seven day forecast and shore cast talk about a pattern change, 88 degrees for tomorrow. thursday looking great, sun will give way to more cloud by afternoon high of 82. if there is a chance for rain thursday night into friday, at least some showers from the city on south, and then clear
