all right. so it's going to be wet one. >> well, yeah. starting to turn that way

already. this latest storm system will hang out for awhile too. i want to show you interesting video as people across phoenix, arizona, are still brushing off the dust from a recent had a boo. now a wall of dust and it stops residents in their tracks on tuesday. it was actually recorded as one of the largest -- look at that. unbelievable. >> i've driven through one before. >> craziness. blinding recorded as one of the largest dust storms of the summer and likely the last. this helicopter pilot estimated the dust cloud to be 4,000 feet high. to give you a frame of reference, that's basically four and change of liberty one place stacked on top of one another. that's how tall that was. so four sky scrapers and change on top of one another. craziness, right? unbelievable video for us out there. now, we are not concerning ourselves with dust storms necessarily, rather the rain on the way. it's more than anything i would call a very big nuisance for our region but we are going to see some pretty steady rain out of

this. especially through the western suburbs we think. take a look first and for most at storm scan nice wide zoom. we've had moisture building in from the south already. here's the actual storm, though, that starts to rotate in. this first batch of moisture wasn't over chief started little bit extra early with the wet weather across delaware and southern new jersey this is a storm that actually is going to move in and bring this prolonged stretch of rain that we're calling for and it's called a cut off low. very apt name because it gets cut off from the main flow of the jet stream. jet stream has two really important purposes to separate warm and cool air but to also steer storm systems and if you get an area of low pressure that breaks off from that pattern or that flow, all it can do is sit there and it needs something to should have it out of the way and that's why it will be sitting and spinning and look at this we're way up to saturday by this point, and it's still here. so what that means is that you're dealing with multiple days of additional rain even though the rain is all right getting under way right now it's going to hang on through the day tomorrow i would say through the

day tomorrow when we see instead yesterday and heaviest of this rain by about the same time come friday we may already have almost an inch and a half worth of rain collected up through the western suburbs much notice again lighter amounts the further east you go. it really will depend where the heaviest rain bands decide to set themselves up regardless we're all in for wet weather starting now as it over spreads the region and through the day tomorrow, friday, as well as saturday possibly even sunday. before this finally gets out of here. now, switching gears completely and talking tropics matthew has now formed. so we've got tropical storm matthew out in the open water of the atlantic this is on par to basically -- on pace to cross through the lesser antilles. continue westward movement generally speaking. potentially gather enough strength to become a category two hurricane as it makes a right hand turn. now, as we continue to see that potential for right hand turn, you're automatically probably wondering okay do we have to worry about this? at this point, it is very far out.

but notice what all the models tendon to do. take that right hand turn in the days ahead this is something that into next week we're definitely going to be keeping a very close watch on. no guarantees at this point but it's something to watch. meanwhile outside we go to palmyra cove nature park typically no problems seeing the center city skyline off in the distance very difficult to see it right now. the breeze starting to pick up more of an on shore flow helping to keep the clouds in place especially at the shore points. regardless we are expecting to see the temperatures stay into the mid or low 70s the next couple of days but the rain is the bigger story obviously. i'd say wettest time frame is any time from now through tomorrow friday more scattered showers but again it could happen any time so the umbrellas probably not the worst idea. >> we need the rain so. >> exactly the. it comes slowly enough we won't be dealing with major flooding issues. >> good. >> if you get tired standing in line this could be for you. nissan self propelling chair. it actually detects obstacles and moves people through lines on a predetermined path.

it's only in use right now in japan between now and the end of the year nissan is looking for applications from business that is would want to provide the chairs for customers waiting in line. (laughter). >> i think this belongs out in front of best buy. >> we're coming right back. >> on black f does pat toomey speak for you? i also want to thank the nra for it's, uh, strong support for my campaign. pat toomey: he opposes an assault weapons ban and got an "a" rating from the nra. "i have had a perfect record with the nra."

and on women's health? "i would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion, and i would suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them." pat toomey: does he really speak for you? senate majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising.
