it continues to pump from west to east. we have been calling for the on-off showers. the storm center itself is way over here. we have a cold front that's dipping down. we have moisture that's providing the moisture we need for spotty showers to develop. on top of that we had very humid air. lots of moisture gives us good potential for these types of showers. this is one of the latest updated models. at 2:00 p.m. a little better rain period. now this model has a tendency has to fill in. i think it won't be quite so steady but we will see some of that rain pass through. some of these showers dip down. notice south jersey might get a breather a little bit. overnight the rain does not necessarily end. it could pick up around 11:30

this evening and more rain will linger on and off as we go through your thursday. by thursday afternoon it will start to sink south. some of the suburbs may start to get a break from the rain. at least through thursday morning we'll see the showers. temperatures at 74 degrees in finally, washington and down to atlanta it's 80 degrees. what a difference, 30s and 40s right now. it will skirt our area into tomorrow. we have an east wind push and cooler air will seep in. today and tomorrow temperatures will finally start to fall and be a little closer to feeling like fall. take a look. 76 degrees today for us. we are already near the mid-70s. we won't see much warming near the day with spotty showers. it makes it harder to warm up. down to 66 on your thursday. that's slightly below average.

this is the first round draft pick. >> i didn't know if he was going to make the team or not. >> i don't think it was a guarantee or not. >> the birds, 4 and 1. as optimistic as you are could not have predicted. >> certainly with three road games involved, all of the injuries they are had their best corner back hasn't played since week one. they played the new york giants without fletcher cox and jordan hikss but they have carson wentz. he is having an all pro start to the season. shows the speed against the cardinals and starts the second quarter of the season the right way. >> you watch him and he is the umpire. he is involved in celebration but you see him getting away. he has the eyes in the back of his head. you can sense trouble when it's coming. >> it is all about car on wentz
