sixty-eight in kutztown right now. live look from kutztown area middle school. light breeze out of the west at two. we have cloud, north and west of the city but we should see sunshine around especially during the morning hours. but we need the rain. it will get here. it has been a dry september, last day we had measurable rain was, september 1st, where we had that just shy of a half an inch of rainfall and that is our total for the month. here's the reason we will get the rain. cold front. very slow moving. still to the west. you can see broken showers along the front in the mainly poconos right now this batch of rain should move out through the morning hours and then we're in the break and more rain to the south. we have a little bit of moisture coming in from what is left of tropical storm julia. that will track northward along that front enhancing rain chances specially tomorrow morning. it is warm and humid ahead of the front. mid 60's in mount pocono. seventy-one in allentown and philadelphia shore temperatures, nice little south breeze, right now, ocean still comfortable, mid 70's, that is where our air temperatures are, it is not a bad beach day at all. we should have sunshine around

in the morning. it looks like rain hold off for the shore until later on tonight. it is humid. still feeling like the middle of summer, not mid-september, so it feels steamy today, and tomorrow, the humidity starts to back off on tuesday and then it drops, drastically on wednesday where it starts to feel pleasant again. it should stay like that through the end of the week into the fall season. poconos forecast, again, we will have scattered showers, thunderstorm around, mid 70's. tomorrow best chance of the showers will be in the morning. we should see a few peaks of sunshine by the afternoon. low 70's. tuesday is a thighs day in the mountains, it is warm. 81 degrees in the the sunshine. looking at the tropics, again, in the heart of the season right now. the here's is what left of the julia. tropical depression. still off the southeast coast and it will stay there over the next several days, and drifting off to the north and, and, karl. the fear cast is a hurricane over the next five days bye staying out in the opened waters of the atlantic no threat to the mainland. over the next five to seven days.

keep an eye on that system. back home again we have a front moving from the west remnants of julia. julia tries to move further north. front comes together. we will get the a couple showers developing especially later tonight. possibly steady rain along the trent early tomorrow morning. not good timing for the commute. notice julia. pretty close to that front. that front tries to push julia back out, again, this is a remnant storm but enough moisture to bring in rain which is gay thing. overall pattern, stays warm, if you like it warm you'll like this forecast. jet stream still well to the north this time of the year we will see the jet coming further south. it is not happening just yet. we're stuck, with temperatures at or above average for the next several days. fall arrives officially on hearst but still feeling like summer. some signs of cool air over the north east on saturday. the don't know how far south that will get, temperatures probably still hanging up around lower 80's by the weekend. so fall officially arrives, thursday, on the 22nd at 10:21 in the morning. our temperatures should be in the mid 70's. they are above that. eighty-six today. scattered shower or storm late

this afternoon. better chance for the widespread showers, overnight tonight, and, warm, muggy 72 degrees. the here's that extended forecast. once we get through monday we're back to sunny skies but it is warm. mid 80's for temperatures for the middle of the week and then by next weekend still hanging on to the lower 80's with sun and crowds. so warm forecast. rahel, that is the trend through the end of the month even into october. >> interesting. >> lots of games today too. >> okay. >> you have no choice. >> justin thanks. 6:48. lets check on those roads with ann evans in the cbs-3 traffic center, hi there ann. >> hello rahel, good morning. this is ben franklin parkway, looks busy, doesn't it? not with traffic but for preparations for rock and rel role half marathon that will take place in an hour at 7:30. ben franklin parkway is shut down between 16th street and art museum circumstancal long with martin luther king drive and kelly drive, in the area. the falls bridge also is shut down between martin luther king drive and kelly drive. that is very ratees from the cbs-3 traffic center, i'm ann
