we will fine jobs, moving in at midday. check on our eyewitness weather watchers, we will get to all of. that we have got really cool pictures coming in of the moon , but we also have, wet windshields if you don't have a benefit of the garage you may be, hitting the road here, doing some thawing action on the inside of the car. keep that in mind. generally speaking we are off to a quiet start. moon is just basically at half right now, it is 49 percent illuminated. pretty shot and well detailed image coming in from phil chap line. lets go back to the observations where we have temperatures cool, it is september and we are in the lower 60's in a couple spots here as we switch gears. lets get you back out to the maps. we have two storms i want to show you. i don't even want to call it a storm at this point. irma has fizzled so much. it is still expansive. we have moisture over kentucky , tennessee but that has strung out back over virginia at this point, that is lift nothing where the showers come from today.
