at 17 miles per hour and it will continue that trek and what will happen as it crosses charleston by tomorrow night it will get picked up by a cold front and that will push it out to sea, so that means this will not have an effect on our weather but it's going to bring a lot of rain to parts of florida, georgia and the carolinas. we're looking at this band of three to 5-inches with the potential that some areas see up to 8-inches of rain. so, fortunately we do not have to deal with that system. tonight just a very comfortable night. partly cloudy with the lowering humidity. pretty nice. 68 degrees in philadelphia. allentown 61. wilmington 67. cape may 69 degrees. a good night if you don't have allergies, you can open up the windy, let the breeze blow n future tracker showing we start the day dry. 7 o'clock in the morning perhaps some clouds across south jersey and delaware and the poconos and then as we head into the afternoon, this is when that cold front gets closer. i really don't think it has a lot much moisture to work with but we could see a scattering
