this in the first place is to keep sing with the astronomical year. because if you didn't do that, would you have strange things happen, like snow in july, which isn't the most bizarre thing, but you don't typically finds that happening. so that is part of the reason, the probability of leap day birthday as we discussed before the break, one in 1,461. so, it is a low shot. storm scan3 at the moment, quiet at the local level. clearly something on the horizon here. just watch of showers that will be pushing our way late this morning. in the meantime, we check in very briefly with the eyewitness weather watcher network. sky conditions forehands full of folks generally clear. now fran out in chester county nottingham. he is one of the few starting to see couple of clouds. wet weather is a few hours away, i would say, general window of time is probably about 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. for these showers to push through s. >> second half of the day, sunshine, in the the breeze coming out the southwest turning westerly with time to up 20 miles per hour, meantime we drop down to the 30's
