of the ocean. the flow is so much out of the east, all the way up through the atmosphere, that the rain starts coming in that way. there we are into friday, you can't get rid of this thing, now look at the forecast, we go through the night tonight, we have the rain in delaware and then spreading into much of the rest of the area, with temperatures in the 50s, watch what happens with the temperatures as we go through the day tomorrow. it's hardly going anywhere, and really chilly during the day. here's tropical storm matthew, 60-mile-per-hour winds, just entering the caribbean sea, and expected to become a hurricane, there's even a category 2 hurricane. there's tuba and the first commuter models showing this turn to the north and so potentially affecting and getting pretty close to the united states at some point next week. remember, that was for next wednesday. and look at the weekend forecast, sunday is the best
