go through the afternoon. not only rain fairly widespread but also heavier rain and maybe even thunderstorms developing with that big temperature contrast from north to south. we continue to see that coming across the area through mid-evening. so between let's say 3:00 and 9:00 that's when it's going to be the wettest around here. after midnight it starts clearing out, drying out and getting pretty windy for tomorrow along with some chilly weather. you don't see any kind of precipitation coming in for saturday but as we go into sunday we have a little system that is going to be moving down. it gives us just a chance of a few showers during the day on sunday. so saturday looks dry, 70 degrees in philadelphia. 72 in delaware. cooler in the lehigh valley. a little bit cooler on sunday

and a chance of showers in much of the area but not the jersey shore. halloween is looking nice and sunny, near normal temperatures, perhaps a little bit below normal but not much winds. there won't be any kind of windchill as the trick or treating is going on. there is saturday near 70 degrees. sunday well into the 60s in most of the area. we cool down a little bit monday and start warming up again tuesday and wednesday up near 70 degrees before we start cooling down later next week. we'll be right back. does pat toomey speak for you? i also want to thank the nra for it's, uh, strong support for my campaign. pat toomey: he opposes an assault weapons ban and got an "a" rating from the nra.
