11:18 pm
last week we were sitting here talking about the possibility of that hurricane headed our way. there were a lot of model you were looking at. you and the rest of our meteorologists but one in particular really nailed it. >> one in particular nailed the storm. got right. two models we talk about when gfs or global forecast system and of course the european. as we call the euro. the american model showed hurricane joaquin heading for the east coast possibly even the injuries seashore but the euro had joaquin heading out to sea. and of course this path turn out to be correct. the euro also accurately predicted hurricane sandy's track three years. eric hurst says the euro seems to out perform other models when forecasting major storms. >> the european model is kind of tom brady of computer models. in it occasionally has a bad day and throws an interception but more often than not it wins and in the big games, like joaquin, if you want to call it the super bowl of weather, it nails the
11:19 pm
forecast. now the euro of course isn't perfect. last january the euro predict add blizzard would dump 2 feet of snow. we got a little more than a dusting couple inches here and there. so it's not always right. but it's interesting that most models that had a completely different solution from the other ones would be treated as out liar with the european model just so good you have to give it a little bit of weight and in this case even though it was the first one and the only one to jump to sea band wagon it ended up being right very interesting stuff. storm scan3 is clear. no problem the clouds even clearing from the shore points. more showers for the carolinas an area that does not need it. you can see joaquin moving out to sea. i want to show you this water vapor loop called little a fire hose effect this is happening down in the carolinas over the past several days and you can see all that moisture just plowing into the carolinas there and here it is. doppler estimated rainfall as that plume of moisture just couldn't to do dump rain over south carolina.

the past 72 hours some spots have seen over 2 feet of rain. around charleston and little bit further to the north and west 26-inches reported in a few spots there. take look at a quick time lapse video in our neighborhood. clouds finish outer the day. three sunset and things looking good on knife neighborhood network camera at the palmyra cove nature park. it's currently 53 degrees. take a look out chilly it is. 48 in allentown. 49 in millville down 58 in philadelphia. 41 in mount pocono probably will drop in the 30 there is over unite night. we could see mid 40s in some of our north and west suburbs and certainly in central south jersey as well a chilly night is on the way. a cool start to your tuesday but high pressure overhead it actually warms up into the low 70s in the afternoon. this little weak front will slide through on wednesday much wednesday is a warmer day, clouds and some sun. highs back to the mid 70s and then right back to around 70 here on thursday. so we go from the 60s today back to the 70 where is we shall be tomorrow. little warmer wednesday then
11:21 pm
cooler again on thursday pink pogging ponging from the low 70 toss mid 70s. a good place to be all things considered this week much here's the latest on hurricane joaquin. category one with winds at 85 miles an hour. gusts to 105. moving pretty quickly to the north and east in fact some remnants of this could even impact portions of europe by the weekend. possibly ireland or england so this is going to stay together as it moves tout sea. overnight mainly clear, cool down to 53 degrees. your tuesday forecast is mostly sunny and warmer at 72. the "eyewitness weather" seven day forecast pretty great fall stretch for the rest of the week. now friday is the day to watch. by friday evening a few showers will try to pop up maybe even a thunderstorm and then it cools down again over the weekend get some sunshine back late saturday. back to the 66 other than friday night pretty great dry stretch of weather on the way. >> dry sounds good. kate, thank you. >> don is here with look at sports. >> we're talking about the eagles surprise, surprise. the flyers cut bait with 25 million find out whose on their way out the door.
