6:17 pm
it's been kind of warm, kind of humid today. we're in the upper 70s across much of the rest of the area. looks a little cloudier in wilmington and delaware than in other parts of the area. but we're still not seeing much in the way of showers. we've got a couple of them in bucks county and that's about it. we have some more in central pennsylvania. we keep our eye on as we go through the evening and more near washington that could slip into parts of delaware as we go into the evening. that's with the futurecast computer is suggesting. and with the showers to the west, moving east, that does look reasonable. by tomorrow, we're starting off dry, a little bit on the humid side, again. and with the heat and humidity in the afternoon, we could pick up a couple of showers, popping up here and there. most of us not getting rained on. then on saturday, we've got more clouds, a little more humidity, and the showers start popping up a little earlier, become a
6:18 pm
little bit more widespread. so we've got a better chance of getting rained on, on saturday than you do tonight or tomorrow. and then on sunday, we have some clouds, especially to start the day. and we'll be warm then, as well. for the temple game tomorrow night, there's a chance of a shower early, maybe even before the game and generally speaking, it's dry and on the warmer side, as we go through the evening hours. and for the eagles, in kansas city, at the moment, it's looking on the dry side, but kind of warm. temperatures in the 80s and humid. not exactly football weather. now, this is jose. there's the bahamas. so it's out not bothering anybody right now. it is spinning around out in the atlantic. and getting those waves coming right toward the coast. so the rip currents are going to be affected at the jersey shore, delaware beaches, all through
6:19 pm
the weekend and into next week. here are the computer models, showing it coming closer to the united states, also getting into warmer water, so it could regenerate back into a hurricane. then generally speaking, a northerly track, still a fairly wide form of solutions here. we have some of them, if it's closer to the coast, obviously, we have a better chance of getting some direct effects from it. for example, for rain, for example. but the ones towards the middle or to the right would make it just kind of a scare. so it's going to be something we're beginning to have to follow for quite a while. and this is the cone of uncertainty, the cone is especially large here, from the national hurricane center. this is by next tuesday. so we've still got plenty of time to be watching this. and that will be the focus of our attention for several days.
6:20 pm
