she is in for lonnie quinn. and what about that weekend, nicole? >> we c got through everything today, it was so lovely outside. so as the sun broke through, temperatures were much cooler. here were some of those totals and we have a few more clouds out there right now. but partly sunny skies, a temperature of 83 degrees. and a lot of us over an inch of rain, some places closer to two inches of so balance mar, new jersey, parts of new jersey got the rain earlier so saw some of at one inch. this was needed rain. almost the whole area is in a drought. some of the worst of that is in suffolk county. so the beaches are not appreciating it but it was definitely needed rain. here's the radar right now. more quiet than the soaker we saw into the morning hours. but we have a little bit of rain here. so if you are near port jervis, for example, you're seeing some of that go through. it will stay spotty through this evening. then some the weekend. i'll talk about exactly when because we still have beach chances coming up. back to you guys. >> thank you. >>>
