to center city, there is the ben franklin bridge, and it is not bad out right now. just few clouds out there. it is looking pretty nice. going throughout the day we will see the change. live look at storm scan3, and again, you can casino of see the clouds rolling in from west to east. and an indication every what's coming our way, which is, yes, some stormy weather. so some rain, happy to say, these storms aren't looking severe. it looks like they will be kind of garden variety rain, they'll work out this afternoon, but this is stormy weather a held of cold front. it will be tracking our way, we have to keep you on the look out for. that will 70 degrees in philadelphia, about 60 in reading, 67 in dover, if you live down the shore here is 61 atlantic city and 63 in wildwood. taking a look at the region, pretty consistent, with what we have going in new york and down in d.c., already upper 60s, low ooh ', little further to the west, little cooler there. dew points, when i was out on the skydeck, i kind of felt the moisture in the air. you can see at 66 in philadelphia. fifty's and 60s, and that means do you feel the moisture when close to the temperatures, right now, again, at 66 in philadelphia, but that put you us in the not

bad category. certainly not dealing with steamy or oppressive today, but if you go outside for early morning jog, you might feel little more moisture in the air than yesterday. soap, we've got our cold front tracking across today. that means those afternoon showers will be with us, as we get into our sunday, a.m. showers, then they taper off, we get little better. notice cooler air behind this, talking seven's for our high, on sunday and monday, little breezy machine day, as well, but we get the sunshine in there. we will start off the week with beautiful weather. we will eventually storm to warm up too. not staying in the 70s just for sunday and monday. so headed to the poconos today, look out for some afternoon showers, some fog this morning, we could see that again tomorrow morning, little a.m. rain. notice the highs just in the 60s, in the poconos, monday. now, i think that's not bad if you go for hike there in the poconos, pretty good. so today, not great beach day for weather, but i have to point out that if you happen to be wandering out there, early in the day before we get the showers in, 80 degrees, for our water temperature, with that time of year where we peak out how warm the water will get. so today, we are going to see the cloudy skies down the

shore, as well, little afternoon rain, tomorrow again we start up with the a.m. rain. clouds will be with us, but by monday, gorgeous. 75 degrees, and lots of sunshine, so that will make for very nice day to take a walk on the beach. let me time this out. how the storms will come through our area. so here we go. future weather, you can see showers starting to kick up, about 2:00 p.m., we move into our later afternoon and evening, start to clear out. get the clouds in there. this is sunday at 11:00 a.m. i think we can see few back end showers off of the system. that's why i think it will take a while to clear out. here we go, clear skies we get later in the day sunday and looking quite nice. so today high of 81 degrees, pretty mild temperatures, look out for the p.m. thunderstorms, wind pretty mild out of the southeast, tonight 64 degrees for your low, stormy, yes, it will still be with us, it will start to taper off getting late into the evening, early in the morning tomorrow. really kind of wild on 70s on the map here. so take a lock at this, we have 70s not just sunday, but also monday, but the sunshine is beautiful. we start next week, i love that we get run of it, and then we get up into the 80's,

so that's really seasonable. >> right where we should be, those low 80s, and i think this will be the weather that some people have been waiting for because it felt like if we got the sun, we were so hot or humid. >> right. >> you snow if we cooled down, we're getting rainy weather. finally right there in the middle. >> the happy medium. >> i call it the lovely pocket. >> lovely pocket of weather, exactly. >> we'll take that that's exciting. >> i think it is great. what can be bad, right? and we're transitioning into fall. talking pumpkins. first official day of fall coming up. when is it? >> september 23rd, i believe is the first full day. >> but one couple in lackawanna county already showing off a big symbol of the season, i already said it, the pumpkin. they've grown massive one. check this thing out. and this is the first time they've done it, by the way, matt, yes, trying to grow this pumpkin, right, for five weeks. only took five weeks i guess. 812 pounds later. >> oh, look at it, whether someone stands next to you really see it. >> check out the scale.
