you can see all that rain spinning up between scranton and harrisburg and lancaster and philadelphialow will actually back up. it is going to do a reverse and go off the jersey shore and go to cape cod. it is going to do a loop to loop during the day today, so we'll still see some of the effects but nothing like yesterday. let's take a look at what's going on right now. there's our sky cam view. we have mostly cloudy skies. the rain is breaking through the clouds a little bit. it might be a good sunrise. temperatures 60 at the airport. 96% the humidity. the barometer falling. a west wind at six miles per hour. i want to go over yesterday's numbers again. they are impressive as far as the rain totals are concerned. an inch and .71 at airport. an inch and oy .-- an inch and .66 at the inner harbor. so far we have had 2 inches of rain. up to that point we had only had a quarter inch of rain fall. so we did some catching up as far as rainfall is considered in the area. typically this time of year, 80 would be the high temperature. we weren't even close to that yesterday because it was on
