parts of the area, newtown, northampton, close to 3 inches. atlantic city international had over 3 inches. now as we go through the night tonight and into the morning, we see more showers developing, getting heavier by afternoon. so a lot of folks that didn't get rain today are going to see some during the day tomorrow. we may have enough sunshine to push the temperature up to near 90 degrees in some spots, but it's going to be hard to get much higher than that. and then the drier air comes in for sunday, leading to beautiful weather. we got up to 94 degrees today. we get right around the 90 degree mark tomorrow. but we already have the official heat wave. temperatures now are in the 70s. they really got knocked down by the rain that we saw this afternoon. and tomorrow we're likely lly e rain again. chestnut hill at 85 degrees, yeardley, 85 for the high, reading, 88 for the high. a lot of places won't reach 80, the shore won't. but it will be warmer at the jersey shore because of a land breeze. but the humidity will be down. no rain. lots of s

if nothing could be done after newtown, 20 dead kindergartners what makes anybody think you can touchun laws in this country? >> you know i recognize what you're saying and i feel that frustration as a strong advocate of anti-gun violence legislation. but that's not the reason not to try. i mean it took tragically too long to move civil rights legislation through, but it finally went through. i think the difference is we've had so many newtowns so many virginia techs, and we're seeing a response from the public. for example, in virginia the next vice president of the united states tim kaine, is a governor and a senator with an f rating from the nra, and he was elected in the home state of the nra, virginia. >> let me ask you this because the gun rights a okay great. but the vast majority of the guns used in these crimes are illegal guns. so none of these laws that are passed to try to tighten the gun controls would have prevented most of these things. criminals get their hands on illegal guns. >> the point is let's not make it easier for them to evade background checks. let's not make
