This is a picture sent in from a viewer. Kest nut avenue in vineland. Route 55, a major route toward the shore, toward cape may county, flooded in parts of the area. And its still coming down. Look at this. Whats going on here. Weve got the sea breeze meeting the northwest wind, and so this zone of moisture has not been moving much. Its still right over vineland. And the amount of rain just continues to pile up. This is the radar estimate. And three to four inches, one report of over five between millville and vineland itself. And thats a populated area. Were not talking about the pine barrens here. You can see another cluster of storms going across the Atlantic City expressway, or egg harbor city. That will be going out toward Little Egg Harbor in the next couple of hours.

So at the most, a shower at the start of the concert, and then conditions improving as we go through the night tonight. And then we watch the south to see moisture streaming from west to east, as we go into monday, the fourth of july itself.
