and repeat. actual center of circulation, actually to the south. you can see that pretty well, look closely, just over the southern delmarva peninsula. what's happening, moisture being rotated in, from the open waters of the atlantic. if you look real closely, see how this fills in with heavier rainfall intensity in the last hour and a half? that's why in part we're seeing some of this rain come through so heavily. it will be a system that takes it sweet olds time to get out of here. unfortunately looking at future rain ability, by lunchtime already going to have about a half inch or more to drain away some of the indications here that you might even have closing in on an inch around dover, for example. where you have got real heavy rainfall intensity, by this evening, all starting to taper off to showers from southeast to northwest. but we could have an inch of rain to get out of here by that point. flowers love it. we know from meisha that the bunnies love it, as well, right? >> right. >> at least we will start to see things quiet down this weekend, meisha. >> all right, katie, thank you for that. good morning, everyone, if you
