But normal reports of any no reports of any injuries but you can see the guys are like how do we get these things off the car . Like the fugitive, were out, were free. All right. Exactly. Well. You have been working quite hard over there in the weather center. You know shes laughing. Im not laughing at you. You had a long run there and nice clear skies. Breaking a sweat today lee . Oh. You got a little teasing. Yeah we got a big like i said to you a huge puzzle you know, 1,000 piece puzzle because there are a lot of pieces missing and trying to find them here and give you a great forecast as we head into the weekend. Really five very challenging days ahead. Yes its going to rain thats right. All right lets look outside and very, very muggy and sticky outside. A low overcast weve had some brightening in the skies at times and managed to hit 83 degrees. I wonder the thats this last 80degree day of the season. Still in the mid to up 70s across new jersey. 75 in east rutherford. Long island coming in at 74 and still 81 in poughkeepsie with a couple of thin spots in the clouds and the dew points are sticky in the mid 60s to lower 70s. So the air is full of moisture. Im going to wring that moisture out over the next several days. All right, so its 7 00 there will be some rain across the area especially north and west. And only gets heavier as we go to the midnight hour and the heaviest is probably just after midnight through lets say 7 00 or 8 00 in the morning. And this is still some heavy rain around through midday. But it doesnt become widespread as we go through the middle of the day but it will be a rough morning commute. Right now ive got a couple of downpours that are moving through parts of new jersey and along i78 from clinton back across anderson, new jersey as well. And those showers are trying to move into the Hudson Valley and a couple of sprinkles over long island as well. Some showers in nassau and suffolk right now. But monmouth and ocean will be quiet for a little while. See the heavy rain to the west . Initially just looks like its just going from south to north. But theres a front coming through the great lakes approaching detroit right now. And that will start to push that rain a little bit more to the north and east. And thats why later this evening well get into some of the heavier rainfall. That is tonight into tomorrow morning. Watch the futurecast here. Heaviest rain for the most part staying just to the north and west as we go through the first part of the night. But more widespread after midnight and again the steadiest is going to be from the city on north and west. Now suffolk county, parts of the jersey shore you have a better chance of seeing the lighter rainfall amounts. The heaviest will move out by midmorning but some leftover downs in the early afternoon especially east november new york city and it will be of new york city and it will be just showers through the day. Past that rain tomorrow watch the disturbance in the middle of the country. Thats going to interact with gulf moisture and scoop that up the coast. The timing on that wave of rain would be later thursday into the day on friday. Then as we turn to the weekend, its all about what happens with the storm. A 45mileperhour Tropical Storm right now. And not moving very much and look at the difference in the storm track. I mean its just not going to move for several days and then hover in the atlantic, the cones still includes the outer banks and doesnt include the tristate area right now. I want to show what you the computer models are suggesting, look how theres a huge range in solutions here. Everything from the carolinas all the way out into the atlantic. So everything is still on the table but i would say today it looks less likely this is a landfalling Tropical Storm in the tristate area. With that said, theres still a connection to all of its moisture. So were still going to get a wave of rain from it. So heres the bottom line with it. You have a rough ride in tomorrow with some heavy rain. The heaviest is going to be north and west of new york city. It will be more showery in the afternoon. And you get a breakthrough a good chunk of thursday. But then later in the day heavy rain starts to move in. May wait until the nighttime hours, maybe even into early saturday. And then a break and then the question is do we get some rain from the storm on sunday . Mild and muggy. Rain heavier later tonight. Theres flooding possible during the morning commute especially north and west and heavy rain mainly in the morning and then it goes some more afternoon showers and its cooler 74. And then tomorrow night cloudy and cooler and just a touch of rain around. But noticeably cooler down to 56. Coming up at 4 30, well show you some more computer modeling and some forecast where the most likely track of the storm and where that heavy rain band is likely to go on sunday. Because some places in the mid atlantic and the northeast going to get several inches of rain. I dont know where thats targeted yet and get into that at 4 30. Guys back to you for now.
