south and west of speedwell and malaga and buena. you are about to get hit are heavy rain, as this drifts towards the shore line. but no lightning or severe weather with it. temperatures in the 70s across much of the area with the cloud cover that really dominated today. it's not very comfortable out there, we are still awaiting the northerly wind to pull in the humidity late tonight and throughout the day tomorrow. it's moving in and clouds breaking up north of the lehigh valley and the poconos will set up for a more comfortable night as the clouds clear and a beautiful night on tap area wide. and then things go downhill as we follow hurricane hermine, there is the eye of the hurricane close to landfall as we get the feeder bands and heavy rain and tornado watches in northern florida. as we track this for you, 11:00 tonight is when it should make landfall, there is the center

4:50 pm
hermine from drifting and pushing out to sea, it slows and stalls off our coastline saturday, sunday, monday even into tuesday, although the weather is going to improve. because when a storm stalls it eventually rains itself out. but the big place watching hermine is the shore. melissa magee is on the wildwood boardwalk, folks now having a good time. a beautiful day tomorrow and then things change as you get into saturday, sunday and monday. >> yes thark is right adam. friday is a good looking beach day, as we get into the weekend as you mentioned. we'll be tracking hermine. and we have the forecast for you as we head into the weekend, bright and nice on friday, a high temperature up to 79 degrees and no issues tomorrow and saturday it turns cloudy and we have the rain to deal with especially late saturday afternoon into the evening hours with a high of 75. and then tropical storm conditions move in as we get
