miles. but we do have storms within that distance. and the leading edge of that cluster of storm near richmond is getting within that 60-mile range, and we can track this storm here 517 in denton. 603 in river view. 518 in sea ford, 603 in milton. so that's the great advantage here, we can get close to the storms, get more detail on the storms and be more precise on tracking them into your neighborhood. we have a first alert out for heavy rain for all of delaware, burks county, chester county, through friday, these are the areas likely to get the heaviest rain, and the best chance to get at least some localized flooding. we're seeing some rain in the wilmington area, we have had

some showers there, but that's nothing compared to what's coming. look at temperatures, near 70 degrees, 69 degrees in some areas, that's going to seem warm compared to the next few days, because we have cooler air coming in, we have northeast to east wind, sustain eed wind at miles an hour in atlantic city. here's the future cast, and look at the waves of heavy showers and storms coming up from the southwest from maryland in through delaware, they will cover the entire area, but the worst of it may even stay west of our region, many inches of rain, flash flood watches out there, but as you can see, there's plenty of rain around our area, even as we go through 11:00 tomorrow night into friday. even some showers coming in off the ocean, and it's going to be a while until we get out of this mess. and it's going to be uncomfortable. here's philadelphia, look at this, temperatures the next

delaware getting hit first and then moving into parts of new jersey and you can see this is our future cast, hour by hour, by 6:00, as you can see, some of that heavier rain getting very close to where storm ranger 10 is right now, that's why we send it down to where the rain is likely to be the heaviest. and by 7:30 and 8:00, we have these waves of showers and thunderstorms coming up. so overall the heaviest rain is in delaware and chester county and burks county, aktds that's why we have the first alert for those areas. this huge area, in the middle of the night, starting to come up through the philadelphia area, parts of new jersey, even up through the lehigh valley, that is part of the morning rush. the whole system will stay well west of the rest of the area, so they're going to get a tremendous amount of rain around washington. our temperatures are going to be going down to about 64 in

philadelphia, but into the 50s in some of the suburbs, like in montgomery act bucks county, it's going to be chilly, it's going to be windy and it's going to be wet during the day tomorrow. the temperatures are not going to be rising very much, from these numbers tomorrow morning. so it's going to be much colder than it was today. we're also going to have the latest on tropical storm matthew, which just formed today and could pose a threat to the united states next week. now you can track the rain to help you plan ahead, with our nbc 10 app, download it for free and change the settings to get your neighborhood forecast right on the home page. turning to nbc 10 responds, a woman's call for help from the city of philadelphia are finally heard. >> but sixing one problem caused even more issues for her. and those problems prompted her to calm harry hairston.

lehigh valley. but the heaviest is south of washington and down by richmond. that's a lot of area and there's a lot of lightning with it and it's move toward the northeast. and that's why we sent storm ranger 10 into central delaware ahead of that area of rain. the leading edge of those storms within the 60 miles and almost out to the 30-mile-per-hour range where we get even more greater precision, and to time this general area, 5:51 at sea ford. 7:25 at dover if it continues moving at that speed. we see first alert now, for the heaviest of the rain, in delaware, burks county and chester county. other parts of the area are going to see some heavy rain, and we could possibly expand the first alert if necessary, want to stay tuned for that. at least with some periods of heavy rain and the flash flood

threat and the future cast is showing some of that heavy rain from virginia and maryland coming up through delaware and even into the philadelphia area, another batch coming up later tonight and for the morning rush, that doesn't look too pretty, does it? a lot of colors, the heaviest, the worst of it is way to the west of it. but it's going to be bad enough for around here. and so here's central delaware again getting hit hard, this is noontime tomorrow and we have tracked the worst of it and hope it stays to the west. here's some more in delaware, as we go through thursday night and into friday morning, here's some more for friday's morning's rush perhaps. coming in off the ocean, those storms start moving the other drekation by friday. and with winds coming off the

ocean, temperatures going nowhere. down by dover, as you can see, gradually increasing as we go through thursday afternoon. and by the time we get to thursday night, those areas in our first alert, are pretty much all well over 1 inch, and as we go into friday morning, we're getting closer to an inch of rain in the philadelphia area and maybe by saturday much of our region will have that. but the bull's-eye is still, again, going to be farther to the west. tropical storm matthew, a 60-mile-per-hour storm is coming into the caribbean right now. it's moving rapidly, it's expected to become a hurricane, category 1 and category 2, moving northward later this week, these are the different computer models of what's going to happen next week, and the general trend is in a northerly direction, so it's possible it could affect at least the

coastal weather sometime next week. and obviously a threat to the bahamas and potentially south florida. so it's going to strengthen too. so that's something that's really going to have to be watched over the next week. but that's next wednesday. we're talking a whole week from now. >> but now the impact from this rain. >> especially farther south and west you, delaware is going to get it worse, washington, d.c. is going to get it worse than delaware. imagine this, taking a walk on the beach and you see a 280-pound turtle. >> the massive sea creature washed up on the jersey shore after struggling in the search. next we'll explain how marine rescue crews are stepping up the challenge to care for the turtle and give her a new lease on life. does pat toomey speak for you? i also want to thank the nra for it's, uh,
