let's toss the shot very briefly. talking about wet weather obviously, quick look at storm scan3, and with, that you will find a storm system that is rotating away around the mid-atlantic. that eventually is going to move off to the northeast, but for now it, bridges us some showers, passing throughout the day at the moment, we are thankfully dry here, in our cbs-3 parking lot, may finds stray shower through delaware, southern new jersey at this hour with time all will lift north. this will be multi day event, suggest sluggish storm system, passing showers for now, steadier rain by tonight, then more soaking rain moves in, for tomorrow, now, in total, he will only talking one to one and a half inch every rainout of the whole thing through the course of two days, i don't think it is major flood concern, but definitely will cause nuisance travel for you. the seven day gets a heck of a lot better. take a look at this, not only are we going to warm up very readily, but also going to end up into the 80s, and that comes just in time for us to

hit the nfl draft, and of course the penn relays going on across the river, so a lot of big events hitting the sit hire in the next couple of days, and franklin it looks like the weather is real gig to be on our side for that couldn't back liver, this is change the game. personally very excited about the arrival of this vehicle behind me. when i found out for the first time, blown away by how huge it is, so let's go back, coy tell you all about it, but i do want to show you instead as we mentioned our wonderful slew of eyewitness weather watchers joining us right now, at least hands full of them, so guys thank you once more for waking up so early with us, let's take a look at this, our photographer jim, just sort of take you on little tour here. we will talk about what we've got going on with there is so up on top, you have got multiple different features, several different cameras, an equipped with 3hd cameras, video processing so you can show images from any two cameras, at the same time, in
