decided it wants to throw us a few curve balls and it is looking like it will continue to evolve but right now i want to give you the best call we can make based on the guidance we've been given. it does look like this is a storm that will still make its arrival sometime midday tomorrow but now it wants to hang out like a nosey neighbor much longer than you would like it to. let's get out there, we'll show you the view first and foremost had a pretty nice beach afternoon unfolding in ocean city cape may county. the umbrellas lining the shore line as far as the eye can see. but we have little bit cloud cover still and at the moment i still call eight pretty decent beach afternoon but you may end up with a shower or thunderstorm along the way as well. that comes courtesy of the warm front lifting in. that's also by the way where the humidity has begun to climb and the cloud cover has been coming from. rain is far off at this point but we may still see that spotty shower or thunderstorm sometime this evening. that's nothing compared to tomorrow. looked like a lot more ominous early this morning. you still have rain across

parts of missouri but this is what's going to be heading our way into tomorrow. we'll start to see the rain picking up with time as this area of low pressure basically arrives right along that football that we see pushing through today. it comes along tomorrow, so about midday give or take lunchtime by an hour or two, that's when things start to unfold and it comes in as widespread heavy rain, potential for flooding with that and possibly even some severe weather. now, the thing is it looks like this was going to get out of here by saturday. not anymore. i think it hangs out for the majority of that first half of the weekend here especially for anywhere from philly on south, that's where it looks as though the rain is going to be at its heaviest but anyone is fair game to see the rain throughout the course of saturday. may not be as heavy the further north you go. specifically talking about severe weather potential we still have a marginal risk so it's the lowest of the risk categories but it's still a risk so i do think that you could end up with locally very gusty thunderstorms although especially if you're sussex county, if you're headed down to rehoboth maybe or dewey for

the weekend something like that you may run into some pretty heavy duty thunderstorms along the way here. that would be as early as midday tomorrow lasting into saturday. the rain that is not necessarily the severe weather threat t now, here's where we currently stand one more time you. we're at 80 degrees at the moment in atlantic city. a little bit more sunshine here. 78 currently at the airport and we're at 68 degrees out at mount pocono. you'll notice across-the-board, too, is that the letter s shows up in all three locations and short that means the wind flow is southerly, it's a manage warmer more humid air mass moving in so the moisture is building up in this atmosphere. that's what's going to allow us to see some soaking downpours into tomorrow. but if you're going to the beach the water temperature is definitely starting to climb nicely especially if you go back towards the bay but right along the area beaches we're talking mid 70's generally speaking sea isle a little bit cooler. live neighborhood network cameras you have cloud cover at whitfield elementary, another beach shot in margate
