the clouds are increasing and we saw sunshine at the shore earlier, but most of these showers are north and west. the lehigh valley, poconos and just a couple of sprinkles farther to the south and most will not be seeing significant rain today and that's part of the system that will be moving in overnight tonight. as we go through the evening there's not a whole lot on radar and just a few little showers around, but it's after midnight that this system comes in from the west and look how heavy that rain is. that's 3:00 a.m., middle of the night. we're all sleeping and some really heavy rain, maybe even some thunder to wake some folks up. by 5k clo, 6:00 in the morning it's tapering off or even over. the ground is soaking wet and we're going to get at least a half inch of rain in many parts of the area, but it just keeps moving. then watch what happens tomorrow afternoon. we've got another round of

storms coming through. this might just be a line of strong storms that may have some gusty winds with them. for today, cloudy and humid and scattered and mainly light showers and showers in the 70s north and west. the showers and storms returning after midnight and generally moving out by around 6:00 a.m. and then another round of thunderstorms later tomorrow. so much of the day tomorrow could be dry, but we get a lot of rain overall and then you can see how beautiful the rest of the week is and low humidity coming in, as well and we'll start to steam up over the weekend and we'll be right back.

big, vent coming up this weekend and nbc 10 and telemundo 62 are teaming up with dozens of animal shelters in our area to help find homes for pets in need. it's called clear the shelters and it's happening this saturday. on that day, participating shelters will be offering reduced adoption fees in hopes of finding homes for the thousands of animals in our local shelters. here's how you can help. join the conversation and raise awareness by sharing the event on social media. if you do post an item make sure you use the #cleartheshelters and include pictures of your pets. we'd love to see them and come

out august 15th to welcome a new friend into your family. for shelter locations and more on those fees just tap on the nbc 10 news app. coming up this afternoon at 3:00 it's ellen with kim kardashian west and iggy azalea and then nbc 10 news at 4:00. this afternoon a post-sandy fix could be doing more damage down the shore. something in the barniegat bay. what is under the surface that environmentalists say is fueling the problem. >> an update on the top story. septa's deadline for the lottery winners to buy the pope pass ends this afternoon at 3:00 and a new round of passes will go on sale on wednesday. the lottery to purchase pope pass tickets for the norristown high-speed line or for trolley routes 101 or 102 will begin this wednesday at 12:01 and it will win until 12:01 p.m. and run until 11:59 p.m. and unlike

the lottery, there will not be a line, and it will be done with the entire lottery process and we'll know exactly how many passes will be left over. before we leave you this morning and we do want to get one last check of the weather and looking out behind us and not the best day out there and not just cloudy and they're threatening-looking clouds and dark clouds and there's not a whole lot of rain around and scattered around. tomorrow we're going to be seeing a lot more activity. the first round is going to come after midnight generally between 2:00 and 6:00 a.m. and heavy rain, and maybe some thunderstorms coming through. then we may get a break and then later tomorrow we're talking about another round of thunderstorms that could be pretty strong with some gusty winds. once those two things go through we've got some really nice weather coming in later this week. we just have to get through these next few days. >> two days and then the other three are great. >> we'll get back to the weather
