we've had this absolutely beautiful blue sky full sunshine for so long now. this is kind of a drag. i think to look at. but it is again as jim said something that we can always use in moderation. so some rain is eventually on the way. just not yet. with time, even as early as late tonight there is storm system, which is really starting to show a lot more organization at this point does usher in some rain. this big batch of rain is likely what's going to strike our area early tomorrow. morning commute tomorrow, not looking all that hot. but the rain, itself, should certainly holds off until after the eagles have been wrapped up for the evening for the night. so that's what's on on the way. specifically going to be the cold front passage bridges about pattern change, though, so front that lives up to its name with time. temperatures drop off. already the wet weather is working its way into western p a. so the window of dry weather opportunity for you to enjoy is starting to dwindle. but you'll have it right through there evening at least really not until even after midnight we're thinking, that the rain starts to over spread our local radar.

12:20 pm
if you stepped out the door i'm sure you noticed that, that southeast winds really the reason for it, just building up moisture, in the atmosphere ahead of this front this is the one spot or at and down the shore one spot where we've had the opportunity to see some sun. that's still gleeming through but, again that's going to be waning with time here. don't expect that sunlight to really last too much longer. the clouds thicken for everyone from west to east, and if you're in the in the clouds yet you will be. seventy-four the expected high so pretty close to that value already. but take a look at the drop off, points a a knows diver tuesday to wednesday, once we see the rain roll through clear it out, 10 degrees just shaved off the daytime high like that from one day to the next. >> will feel like it too. >> yes. >> all right, katie, thank you little girl facing a serious medical condition, is getting some inspiration from a star football player. >> here's meisha with today's love it. >> aaron from west virginia, has a rare autoimmune disorders that's led to multiple hospitalizations, eight biopsies, and lung biopsy. but she is not letting the pain slow her down.
