the farthest south we go we have rain coming up from maryland. we have moisture, as you can tell very easily moving in from the ocean. so it's delaware and south jersey. it will get hit the hardest with this as we go through the rest of the day. the center of the storm itself may be a little bit of a twirl down here. it's not a tropical storm at this point. it is going to be tracking to the northeast. and so it will take that rain with it. it's not coming straight up the coast or else we would be getting it into tomorrow as well. the first alert for the coastal storm, the areas that are getting hit the hardest, this is until later this evening and you're getting stronger winds, high surf and heavy rain than other parts of the area. that's why we have the first alert there. here we go.

hour by hour and we are not seeing any improvement at least we could have some green which is lighter rain and equals heavier rain. this model is showing actually rain getting heavier as we go through the early evening hours. you can see the clearing back to the north and west later on tonight. that's a sign of things to come. we'll get into how harvey could be influencing our holiday weekend weather in a few minutes. >> we'll stick around for that. thanks. we head into labor day weekend. rain and wind will make it a nasty one today especially at delaware beaches. tim is live for us with a look at conditions there. we don't have to look very far, tim, to tell. it's not a good beach day. >> yeah. i hear about the different colors. it's the wet kind. it's that kind of rain that goes through here. if we brought it down here a lot

of people bring it here to take pictures of it. i can tell you firsthand from being here it's cold, wet, windy and rainy. not as wet as we sort of expected it to be. you can see the trees here near the cape may area. you can see the winds moving a little bit. it's not huge gusts like we have seen in the past. you're going to have no trouble finding a spot for your umbrella today. they are from maryland. i want to talk to you guys. he is a big weather nut. but you, you guys are out here. you're comping this week. is this a weather bummer this week? >> seeing you guys made it more exciting. >> i'll pay you for saying that later. >> it's all cold and rainy. >> what are you going to do?

motivated to get down there to alleviate some of the suffering. >> images of families forced from their homes as many streets have turn into waterways. they will be operating out of this care truck. their specific assignments are to be determined but at the very least they will be there to care for the tens of thousands of people that are displaced or awaiting rescue. >> he is leaving behind family and friends with no idea of when he'll return knowing that the people in texas need him more. the pair will be joining nearly 4,000 other emergency relief workers including ten that are in texas on the ground sfrply hoping to make a difference. >> what makes america

extraordinary is that we are always neighbors helping neighbors. when you talk about the people who blessed our region they don't know anyone in texas. it doesn't matter to them. what matters to them is that there is someone in need and we can help. >> nbc 10 news. >> nbc 10 will host a hurricane relief drive this thursday from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. you'll be able to call, text and log onto our web site to donate money. nbc 10 and telemundo 62 will provide throughout the day. rain is falling across new orleans. people are preparing for flooding expected to be at its worst today and tomorrow. 30,000 bags have been filled across the city and people are being asked to stay inside during the storm. today marks the 12th anniversary

i should mention that the most rain ever recorded in texas from a tropical system was 48 inches. harvey has broken at least one location reporting 49 inches. it is a record breaker throughout the entire state. moving northeast at 5 miles per hour. that's the latest update. you can see as we track this along it will make land fall here right in the southwest corner of louisiana. this is through wednesday and up into wednesday afternoon. still at 45 miles per hour winds. it will that i can land fall and then it will start to weaken. this is going to have moisture associated with it as it starts to move along north. 8:00 a.m. 35 miles per hour winds. friday into sunday that moisture will start to wedge our way. it may impact our holiday weekend. >> thanks. nbc 10 has a team of
