runs warm at the airport. parkside, west mount, cool spots there. and that's pretty cool compared to what we have been seeing. you can see the moisture coming north to south across the area. not much to the west. and more activity in new jersey than anywhere else. and that's continuing. several showers in atlantic county right now and also bucks county mercer county. but they are fairly light. they continue to move. so nothing is stalled. nothing is severe. it's just kind of an inconvenience. that will continue overnight. our future weather model shows that. as we go into the morning tomorrow, the showers may shift a little bit more to the west. but there's more around and the temperature doesn't really go up much again. more showers tomorrow afternoon and then ob thursday, another round and then it starts getting

heavier. the amounts of rain by thursday night, not that much. this is one model. it's kind of an average of some are higher than this. some are e lower. but look at what it's showing. it's showing a zone of some really heavy rain. 2 to 4 inches of rain. now whether it's down here or shifting up toward the philadelphia area, that's going to be critical because this area has been pounded with rain. and only 1 to 2 inches of rain is needed to cause flooding. why there's a threat of flooding there. thursday night and into friday, look at temperatures staying below normal. kind of a wet pattern through the rest of the week. unfortunately, this is going to last into saturday. saturday is going to be a lot like friday. not a real pleasant day. but look at that. sunday is a winner.
