the area had a lot of rain today and you can see starting at 6:00 a.m. you just watch this area in central delaware, into the inland portions of south jersey, and hour after hour the heaviest of the rains going right over the same place. we're finally dry out across much of the area and even at the jersey shore, things are improving quite a bit. a little bit delaware beaches, a little bit in south jersey so this area in the yellow here has had well over an inch of rain, some places up to three and one or two spots up to near four. we get a bit of a break and then here comes more. it's just racing right up from the south and this is a wet weather pattern overall. so today's not the only day this week that we're going to be seeing some of the rain here.

we've had amounts of rain again over two inches in some areas but the farther north and west you get the less there is. there's 2.7 in tabernacle, 1.8 in browns mills. down to .37 in ewing township. it really does matter where you are. now, later tonight and tomorrow, we can see a couple showers still in atlantic city, a lot of clouds. this is the fog symbol, some areas getting fog overnight tonight and into the morning. it's just a lot of cloud cover tomorrow. any peeks of sunshine, that will push temperatures into the 70s. you can see it's 10:00 a.m. everybody's got the clouds and later in the day, that's when the rain starts coming in especially at atlantic city and down through delaware and tomorrow night, into wednesday, everybody gets it. so here we are tomorrow afternoon.

getting into the low 70s and then here comes the rain. shooting up late tuesday night and into wednesday morning. today was round one. that's round two. round three is probably the heaviest and that's going to be on thursday during the day. rain and thunderstorms. so the temperatures are below normal. the average highs are around the mid-70s now and especially thursday below the average for this time of the year. and as we look ahead toward the end of the week and the holiday weekend, you see much improvement for friday and saturday. those should be the nicest days of the next week and then sunday, another system comes in producing some rain that may last into memorial day. showers and even some thunderstorms but at least the temperatures are way up there. more like summer-like temperatures for the holiday weekend. i'm john clark from csn.
