will find out there, very, very light rain, granted a more wide swat of it down toward, the western maryland, northeast virginia, but at the moment i'm not expecting more than a couple scattered showers, guys. they are not the worst idea but you will in the need it for good portion of the day as well. sixty-five is current temperature at the airport. sixty in trenton. mid to upper 50's from reading back to allentown and mount pocono. and then wind flow is turning more southerly as well. normal daytime high on this particular day of the year 79. we will hit it dead on, 79, scattered showers in the city, 76 with scattered showers at the shore, 70 at best with the shower here and there up in the mountains. so a lot of consistency with that said as a whole, when it comes to what we're expecting here wet weather-wise but that shower pattern as we have mentioned is taking over and it will be with us for a couple of days here. i will let you know which day looks like the wetest of the next several. in the meantime we are watching jose, still a category one hurricane and whether that is going to mak

and some rain showers out here now getting into western maryland, and this is all associated with somewill eventually get in here but this front will kind of hang up so i think it's early as possibly three, 45:00 o'clock we'll have scattered showers around and then later tonight as that front hangs up we'll have showers overnight and then again into the day on wednesday with mostly cloudy skies. and a chance for few more showers tomorrow. there's future cast. nothing terribly heavy you the idea. scattered showers by three, 45:00 o'clock if we get enough sunshine we may get a strong storm or two but this is not going to be wash out kind of afternoon. there we are at 6:00 o'clock tonight with a few showers around. then overnight we'll see the showers redevelop as our and cool day tomorrow. so mid 80s today. only in the low 70s -- only in the low 70s for daytime highs tomorrow. down to the tropics this is unfortunately gripping the weather community. because this is a monster hurricane the this hour. that is hurricane hunter and that is showing you the flight path it's taking chris crossi
