And jim as were getting ever closer to the upcoming weekend i expect wire of were going to find a mixed bag this weekend much there is a frontal passage that will take place friday into saturday that will allow for shower or thunderstorm and scattered fashion to fire up on saturday. It does turn brighter and still pretty warm by sunday. So somewhat of a half and half for you there. In the meantime, its about to get awfully steamy. Well talk about that and also the path cindy is taking whether look at those people. They have lives, katie. Look at them. [ laughter ] theyre out there like little ants on the sand. Vacationing. Funnel cake and cotton candy. Youre killing me right now. So inviting doesnt it what a beautiful beach day. It started off cloudy down the shore this morning. But those clouds really thinned out nicely. Even over the city now there are a couple of additional clouds thats because of little trough thats digging in. So in simple speak that basically means well see a spotty shower or thunderstorm out there today. Well track that coming up but i do want to talk about cindy and the potential if there is any of an impact on our region as a whole. Lets get you out there. Take you out to the maps to start it off with very wide view on storm scan to show you the and tire pattern unfolding. Sole we have a front that kind of got stalled out but its mainly out to sea again partly where some of those clouds came from early this morning if you look really closely you see this little batch of scattered showers starting to drop in northeast pa or nepa. Thats what is going to get fired up around our region locally then youve got cindy and your eye immediately drawn to this looking a heck a love more organized than recent days. Heavy rain with this is the story and its really pump link parts of alabama and mississippi right now this is going to lift north and in a second ill show you the track with that. But lets take a look at future weather for the rest of today. Since we have this trough thats digging in. I think were good for the next hour or two at least if not three. But then well start to see some firing up of locally brief but heavy downpours places like the poconos, far western suburb getting in on the first and some of that likely fire up in around the city of philadelphia. So perhaps messing with some of your evening drives as you head homily dont be shocked if you have to quickly roll up the windows or flick the windshield wipers a handful of times through any of these hell bursts of rain. Then its out of here thursday looking nice and clear and hot. Wait until you see the seven day. Lets track cindy for you currently its moving sluggishly into the northwest at 10 miles an hour. So expected to make that landfall as we heard from don champion earlier in the show once it moves on shore, its going to eventually make this right hand turn. It looks like its coming our way, doesnt it . I still think well going to be dealt nothing more than a glancing blow out of this but this sort of gets absorbed by an approaching frontal boundary. Look at the rape fall expectations author of out of this mull pell inches expected across parts of the gulf states and then eventually as this works its way toward the ohio valley there might even be multiple inches of rain north of that river valley into indiana and parts of the buck eye state. Back to here locally, though, again im not thinking this will be major deal for our area in the meantime, as we take you out live to another beach, theres still hundreds of people on this beach point as well. At the boardwalk plaza rehoboth. Lots of folks out and boy enjoying the warmth and sunshine, and actually more humidity in some of these places as we take a look at the dew points. 59 in philly still feels pretty nice f youre at 65 or above you start to notice the humidity. Really not all that bad at all for the city but youre in the 70s with those dew point values in dover, millville, and down towards places like wildwood. So starting to become noticeable for you but right along the border between pleasant and becoming a bit more noticeable in philadelphia. Just expect that it starts to get steamy with every passing day. Tomorrow is a fantastic pool day. 90 and sunny, come op, that looks awesome. Enjoy it just ladder on the sunblock, please. Spf30 or greater. Then we look forward friday still pretty steamy, though. I heard that, jim. I know its not all i apologize. Feel pretty humid out there. 89 degrees.
