nevertheless, the sponge is still wet. the atmosphere is primed with moisture and so where we see thunderstorms develop tomorrow, where we get a little extra lift' get localized down pour from 1-2 inches of rainfall per hour not out of the question that. is why a new hampshire flood watch is in effect for cape tomorrow. that starts overnight tonights. now don't take this for face value bus i wanted to show you the potential of the rainfall that is here. i don't think boston is going to end up with an inch and a half. it's not out of the question because again sponge is loaded. there is a lot of moisture in the air to wring out. thunderstorms are likely in this, some of the storms could prove to be strong, possibly even severe, something else we'll watch out for tomorrow. again where the thunderstorms form that gives a little extra and that will wring out more moisture. the drought monitor, severe drought expanding for us. this causes more problems with the rain that we're expecting tomorrow because dry ground has an harder

i mentioned a wet sponge before and this will squeeze out the sponge and dump some beneficial rainfall over the area. the question is w two come together? that is where the heaviest rain ends up and forecast models have been continuously trending farther south today. nevertheless, there is a flash flood watch in effect for southeastern massachusetts, cape cod and also for the islands tomorrow. really late tonight into late tomorrow for the heavy rainfall. running through the timeline we could have scattered showers working in overnight tonight but the heaviest rainfall i'm thinking mid morning into mid afternoon. reds, even pinks and purples showing up there indicating we do have downhours that will be imbedded in all of this scattered rainfall activity for tomorrow. again with your heaviest rainfall amounts being across the south coast. 2-4 inches of rainfall not out of the question. locally heavy rain with thunderstorms likely as well and some of the storms could prove to be strong with 1-2 inches of pain remember hour where the thunderstorms develop. now it is a problem that we're i

a muggy air mass in place and the atmosphere is like a sponge right now and that sponge is going to be wrung out in the form of showers and heavier thunderstorms. 84 is the normal high. 98 in 1988 was the record. a quarter inch of rainfall in central park. boy, i mean, south and west of the city and i whole different story. the sun setting these days at 9:13 p.m. here are the headlines. localized downpours possible through monday. doesn't mean it's gonna be raining the whole time. any shower or thunderstorm can be on the heavy side. finally clearing out i think by midweek. so even tuesday we could have some clouds and maybe a spotty shower. by wednesday we really start clearing things out. it's going to be average in the temperature department for the night, flash flooding situations, flash floods average 89 fatalities per year in the u.s. 50% of those deaths are related. so really don't drive in areas where water covers the road. it also causes $8 billion of damage per year. a lot of flooded basements. 70 in newburgh. 75 islip. 75 down the shore at belmar. still have the flood warning

like a sponge. that frontal system will ring everything out like that sponge and then the results will be heavy downpours here throughout the afternoon. so 1:30 a couple of showers and thunderstorms mainly west of philadelphia it is hard to say who exactly will see them or who isn't. everybody is fair game after lunch. throughout the afternoon we will see those showers and storms progress along from west to east, across the northern portions of our viewing area. this is 7:00 o'clock a couple of hit or miss showers or storms. by 10:00 o'clock they are across the delaware river and south jersey then we will get into sunday. sunday everything should clear out nicely with a combination of sun and cloud. what you need to know, scattered thunderstorms, expect throughout the day. starting after lunchtime. some of these will produce very heavy rains. maybe one or 2 inches of rain in a short period of time which could cause flash flooding issues. lots of lightening is expect. some of these could produce gust

low-pressure system forms, wants to join that would give the atmosphere a little extra scweejing of our sponge or washcloth to are put some beneficial rainfall over our area, as we make it through friday afternoon and into the evening hours. though, i wouldn't rule out a scattered shower early on in the day on friday, as well, if you have plans. it might be a wet one. we're looking at an inch to 2 inches of rainfall on the way, not out of the question with heavier amounts focused across the south coast. here's a look at your 7 on 7 normal, stay with us in the beginning of next week. >>> tom will return as the starting quarterback. when he comes back, but in the meantime, with very to prioritize the first part our schedule, and that will be to get jimmy ready to go. >> reporter: for just the third time in 17 seasons as head coach of the is preparing to open a season without tom brady as starting quarterback and like the head coach, patriots players say they are turning the page and say they remain supremely confident no matter who's under center. >> i think we have a lot of good players, we hav
