you can see it's so scattered -- there are still showers around but absolutely i would absolutely, you know, say that you want to keep an umbrella with you but for the most part everything is so scattered. you'll notice especially back towards central pa some of these showers have had steadier downpours. we did have steady rainfall in sussex county very early on. for the most part this has been lackluster precip for our area. it will probably be picking up in terms of intensity but for now it's not too bad of a start for the afternoon. here's the thing. it's an area of low pressure trying to cross through but it's coming up again and doing battle with an area of high pressure off to the northeast. so, because you've got clockwise rotation around high pressure in the northern hemisphere, you get that wind flow trying to should have this to the north but with an area of low pressure it's doing battle with that going in the opposite direction. this is going to rotate away

and then eventually fizzle a way and get drawn out but we do still have to deal with showers today, tonight and tomorrow as well. it would behoove you to keep the umbrella on stand by. never hurts but looks like the heaviest of the rain is likely to come later today and tonight especially. this computer model would pick up some of the steadiest rain by the time the kids are getting out of school in the next couple hours and especially true for southeastern pa. then midnight that's when some of the steadier rain may be crossing through the region before it rotates into tomorrow morning. tomorrow morning's drive may also be impacted by this but with time the worst of the showers should start to rotate away from north to south. today through tomorrow the showers are generally scattered but the heaviest batch that is like to come late tonight. hopefully many of us will be tucked away in bed as that's coming through but a slow morning drive as a result of that. whatever is left overheading into thursday. rain amounts not too bad.
