>> cold front bringing some storms to tour area, yes, as we've been talking about all morning, category one hurricane, arthur spinning off the southeast coast, right now. in fact, it is about 300 miles southwest of cape hatteras, right now, and it is expected to make landfall at cat one across the shores of north carolina it is bringing some heavy rain to parts of the south carolina coastline, including myrtle beach, where sue serio is right now. the protected path of arthur, you see, by about late tonight, early friday morning, across the outer banks, cape hatteras area as cat one, remains cat one as it moves, though, out to sea, takes more northeasterly jog, meaning, jogging away from our area, and not hitting the northeast

coast. even though we are not getting hit by arthur, we will feel the impact of a tropical storm churning about in the atlantic over the next four 48 hours, fos future cast, couple of showers north of town this morning, we may see stray shower, but otherwise, it is a loft sunshine for the first part of today. by noon thursday, we are kind of waiting on the thunderstorms. that would be today, thursday. then the front starts to come closer, same cold front that brought the strong storms yesterday, retreated westward, will spark severe weather and heavy downpours within these storms. from any time, after 3:00 to probably late tonight. we could see several rounds of the rain, several rounds of the lightning, and possibly strong winds and hail embedded within some of the thunderstorms, then fast forward to friday morning, weaver the strong storms again tonight, a lot of rain. but because of the moisture moving in, with the hurricane arthur, that will mix with the cold front, they'll combine forces, and we'll see additional rainfall throughout the first part of your fourth of every july. foggy start, not nice. by noon still seeing heavy

rain at the shore, will slowly clear out late afternoon, into the evening, we'll have clear skies, we ends the days much nicer or much better i should say than we started it, but still, probably some left over flooding concerns, maybe, later on tomorrow afternoon. that is because rainfall amounts in the one to 2-inch range, pretty east when you get the strong thunderstorms to accumulate. temperatures mid 70s right now, fireworks forecast, rain basically out of here by 5:00 o'clock, 80 degrees, but further west, more sunshine you'll see throughout tomorrow. 74 degrees by 9:00 p.m. partly cloudy skies, having fireworks in your town it should be good, not raining. cook look, 91, sun to storms today. soggy start to the fourth, beautiful weekend temperatures in the 80s, that's your seven day forecast, back to the roads with your traffic authority. looking at the majors, heavy volume eastbound on the schuylkill from the blue route to the roosevelt boulevard slow going but nothing too terrible at this hour. not seeing any accidents there. they are hitting the brakes on nine at southbound, as well, approaching girard. new jersey on 295 northbound, approaching the 42 freeway, we
