while dalton was one himself he often kept the guys in check when they got out of line. he's remembered as a pillar of the game and as a giant of a man who fought until the very end. >> it didn't break his spirit. he was that fighter. he never gave up. it just took him. i know dutch. but i mean he was -- he was that guy. he fought. >> from the day i met him, you know, he was just an awesome guy to know and to play with. said in a statement earlier that he was the glue that kept a bunch of misfits together in 93 and we had a special year. >> growing up he challengeed a fan before you ever get here. if you want to get the respect of philadelphia fans just be a maximum effort player in whatever sport you are. that group had a a lot of max effort players and darren personified that to the t.

>> he was such a leader. not just a leader with his words or in the clubhouse but he played on the field like that, too and he wasn't a leader that said here, look at me. he just said let's go play. >> dalton and lenny dykstra remained friends long after their playing careers were over. dykstra posted this emotional message on facebook earlier today. >> dutch as we called him was a warrior, was a leader, was one of the toughest individuals i've ever played with. he was the kind of guy that you wanted on your team. you wanted in your fox hole and he was without a doubt the unquestionable leader that took a team that went from last to first in 1993. >> phillies fans have been paying tribute to darren daulton on social media all day today. we invite you to share your photos and memorable moments

>> meteorologist adam joseph here now talking about the forecast and then this accuweather alert. you say we're at the end of the rain today. >> flood warnings have expired in our area. the flood watch is supposed to expire at midnight. more than likely it will expire early because the instead heavy rain has moved

out. dreary on sky6 overlooking its commodore barry bridge there in chester. some raindrops on the lens and we're still dealing with some rainfall across much of the area in the form of some light scattered showers so as we go through this evening, those showers will continue during the overnight hours and then as we move forward, as the cloudy start to our tuesday but then it quickly turns beautiful as we go into tomorrow afternoon as the sun returns going into midweek and then kind of a book end week. we start unsettled and we're going to end unsettled again on friday with numerous downpours and thunderstorms. storm tracker6 live double scan as we take a look at this here, there you can see again that steady heavy rainfall, those bright colors now moving east of lbi but back to the west we're still dealing with some pop-up showers here and there but again, this is not going to bring about any renewed flooding threat because the atmosphere is completely exhausted and we're not going to get those extremely torrential rains kind of squeezing out of this area.

so, you can see it's really all along i-95 right now, even the schuylkill expressway dealing with some light showers but there's a pop there in northern parts of new castle county on the verge of southern chester county with some moderate rain but again, it's a very small area and again nature kind of cleaning up her act here this evening. temperatures 70 right now in philadelphia, 70 in wilmington. we only got into the low and mid 70's across the area today. 72 currently in dover and upper 60's, that is it from reading allentown over to trenton. satellite and radar low pressure worked just to our south so that's why we saw the heaviest rain in kent county, cumberland county, southern new jersey where they picked up in localized areas up to five to 6-inches of rainfall but that low is now off the coast but you can see clouds kind of work all the way west into the ohio valley. so the clouds, they're here through the rest of the overnight hours tonight early scattered showers, 62 to 66 for that overnight low. low pressure and the cold front continue to sync to the

south and east for tuesday, so despite that it starts cloudy tomorrow morning, sunshine returning in the afternoon, 82 degrees with low humidity and as high pressure comes right overhead on wednesday and that is your picture perfect day with a lack of cloud cover, again low humidity and temperatures a little below normal at 83 degrees so very comfy here the next several days. down the shore not much of a sea breeze. we've got land breeze tomorrow, upper 70's to around 80 beach haven morning clouds, breaks of sun in the afternoon. this would be the last location to kind of break out of that cloud cover 78 in cape may. far better than today and then 79 in rehoboth beach temperature in the ocean 74 degrees and a low risk for rip currents. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow improving skies at 82 degrees both wednesday, thursday continued low humidity. very comfy temperatures. overnight lows in the 50's, suburbs mid 60's in the city and again another unsettled day come friday with showers and numerous downpours and storms of 81 and that could

linger a little bit at times into our saturday and sunday with some pop-ups around unsettled at times but doesn't look to be a washout at this point this weekend in the mid 80's and then monday clouds, some sun, maybe still a lingering shower at 84 so take advantage of those next three days. >> all right. we will. thank you adam. another break. be right back. stay with us. >> ♪
