>> heavy rain this morning caused some flooding along coast of new jersey. deep water swamp long beach boulevard in surf city long beach island harvey cedars beach patrol posted this video on twitter. these are exactly the kind of conditions in which you should never drive through just turn around. you can tell -- you cannot tell how deep it is most of the time especially down the shore. >> very dangerous. >> adam is here. are we done with the flash flood possible issues. >> that's right. heavy rain is long gone at this point. southern delaware southern new jersey picked up a healthy amount of rain this afternoon and the same thing for the city. brighter colors plainly off the coast. there's another area south and west of cape may in sussex county delaware there may try

ride up that border of cape play county southern parts of cumberland county and towards atlantic county. again, this is where we're seeing the solid area of rain still but again, the majority of of the heavier rain is well to the east. as we flip storm tracker6 live double scan into our 12 hour rain total mode here you can see the southern parts of cape play over four and a half inches of rain, the the same thing in and around kent county in dover millville three and a half inches of rain. healthy amount in southern areas and this is where we had some flooding earlier this afternoon. as we take a look at the action cam, capturing a pretty neat scene here with some of those leaves that have fallen. you can see the raindrops with some of the puddles but one thing to remind you now that we're going into the fall season and roads once they turn wet, leaves can act as black ice like in the winter, they're very slippery so just watch that when we start to see these rounds of rain come in as the leaves fall. a good soaking though he in philadelphia. we picked up 1.29-inches of

rain today. if you take a look at the last month in total, won'tly had 1.26-inches of rain so we saw more rain today than we saw in a month's time span so this was much needed across a good portion of our viewing area. even throw we saw a little bit of flooding in southern new jersey and delaware, most of the rain was very welcomed. 75 allentown right now, 74 in reading, 72 in wilmington, 72 in millville. lower 70's at the shore. this was the coolest day in quite some time. however, it didn't feel that was cool because there will humidity remained on the tropical side so it wasn't all that comfortable out. the front is to the south and east at this point. really painfully slowly pushing to the south and east and again, southern areas still getting clipped by some of that light to moderate rainfall but for the most part philadelphia to the north and west we are done other than a couple of sprinkles or even a little bit of mist overnight tonight. satellite and radar some clouds increasing towards chicago. this is the next front that

comes through here on tuesday night but ahead of it, not bringing any wet weather for the game in chicago, if you know anyone there, they're experiencing temperatures in the 70's, a pretty nice night for football for the eagles at the bears. southwest wind four to 8 miles an hour. back at home, a little bit of fog in areas tomorrow morning with that damp ground. it stays really humid as well with temperatures around 70 degrees between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock in the morning and there could be some sprinkles or light showers especially the deeper south you go away from philadelphia towards southern new jersey and delaware. but for tuesday, overall we're between two front. that stalled boundary off the coast. the next cold front coming in from the north and west, 84 degrees. the brighter skies will be limited to the north and west especially in the afternoon tomorrow. again very humid. and then as that high pressure pushes in behind that second front on wednesday, it will bring a lot of sunshine but still really warm temperatures. 86 degrees.

10 degrees above average but the difference on wednesday is you're going to feel a little drop in the humidity for the middle of the week. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, early fog tomorrow and then returning sun especially to the north and west. ly very warm on wednesday and sunny, 86 degrees. but again, drop the humidity a level before it starts to come back up again on thursday for the first day of autumn at 86 and then as we get into friday, very warm, very humid, 88 degrees to round out the work and the school week. and then we have a transition day on saturday. meaning we'll start on the humid side. it's warm at 80 degrees. dropping humidity as we go through the afternoon and we'll grab -- kind of grasp that fall feeling finally on sunday of 72 degrees for a high temperature and seasonable temperatures on monday of 74 degrees before they start to go back up a little bit at the early part of next week but overall much needed rain, check, some cooler temperatures, check but
