and the flood warnings and watches that we had earlier are now over. so other than blocked storm drains here or there, guys, i think we're in much better say. and as you take a look at storm tracker six live double scan the closeup view showing you everything we have right now across south jersey and the immediate region is highlighted in lighter shades of green so we're looking at just light stuff that's not exacerbating any of the flooding conditions we had earlier. as we take a look outside we are looking at, jumped the gun little bit for you but you'll get those numbers shortly we're looking at cloud cover on sky six in center city and see how it's low obscuring the tops of the center city sky scrapers and occasionally you're seeing some drizzle even where there isn't any active rain on radar. let's get that you number. cool out there this morning, 53 degrees. we started up around 70 yesterday morning so definitely chillier. 51 is your dewpoint. the the air is not all that sticky. winds out of the northeast at 13 miles per hour and despite the fact you have drizzle and light showers around it's kind of refreshing as you step outside. as we take a look at satellite and radar, you can see how there is some drying down to the south and west of us but we are looking at a fair amount of cloud cover and occasionally today there will be another sprinkle or shower coming through. in terms of that rain yesterday we actually set some records on monday. in philadelphia almost 2-inches, a new daily record for yesterday's date. 3.8-inches in wilmington, atlantic city 2.22-inches and again a lot of that water took a long time to settle and get out of here. the hot spot was south jersey right around route 322 south of hammonton where we had 5-inches of rain up to as much as 6-inches in some spots. 5-inches down towards route 55 about halfway down toward millville and 4-inches over by bridgeton so central south jersey the real heavy areas that got hit yesterday.

some brightening of the skies here or there and just a lingering sprinkle and later tonight between 10 and 11 o'clock when adam joseph and cecily tynan are back on the air we may have another shower or two building in but again nothing all that bad. the other part of today's story is the cloud cover and the cooler temperatures. 56 degrees by 11 o'clock. 62 by 2 o'clock. your high today is going to be 63 degrees and we'll hit that at about 3 o'clock this afternoon. high temperatures from north to south looks like low 60's or on or about 60 in the lehigh valley. low 60's in the i-95 corridor and down the shore 62's in cape may and in atlantic city. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast 63 degrees is today's high. scattered showers out there, a bit dry most of the time. the big change

breaks in the clouds and maybe even some of that working its way down into philadelphia so we're hoping to see some sun later today. the farther south you are through the region the less chance you have of that. up in allentown we'll go for clouds in the morning and some sun in the afternoon a high of 68 degrees. down the shore some spots will probably get up into the mid 60's others may hold at about 60 on the nose next to that cooler ocean water. lots of clouds, a spotty shower certainly possible. and in philadelphia, we'll go for a high of 67, about nine or 10 degrees better than yesterday in most spots in the immediate region, mostly cloudy, spotty rain, hopefully some sun breaking out later in the day and winds out of the east at eight to 16. and there's what the numbers are going to do today in the mid-50's still by 8 o'clock but then into the 60's by 11:00. we'll hit that high of 67 at about 3 o'clock this afternoon. for the union tonight at ppl park back home against the
