Try that again and again. How about that there we go. 66. Eva reporting 66 in East Brunswick with the cloud cover and a few showers out there, and in new york city, thats exactly what were seeing, not much but a couple of raindrops. If you catch a shower right now well, if you are catching a shower in the next hour or so or next couple hours, its a break away shower ahead of the main event. 58 currently, the high temp was 65, a full 60 degrees above average. Tomorrow, well go down to average temperatures. In terms of real nice 70degree readings and bring on the morning commute, rain is likely and i dont think it will be likely for the pm commute. You could see sunshine at times, and then 5 to 6 days of worryfree weather and i want to give you a teaser about a longrange model that i was just looking at. And they are hinting at a summer that looks hot and i put the exclamation point and this model said plus 3, 3 degrees above average. Maybe it doesnt trigger in your mind what it triggers in my mind. Thats a huge departure from normal if they forecast that. The jet stream and cold air we had last week has retreated to the north and were in a zonal flow, and its due west to east and you get moderate temperatures where they should be. Forsummer, were talking about the jet stream remaining north on the consistent basis. Light showers and specks of yellow around wayne, a few isolated and heavier, moderate downpours, and tomorrow morning, we have a better chance to see some of those as this front comes through. You could have heavy downpours in the morning commute. I think it moves in the western suburbs around 6 00 and the city around 9 00 and basically out of here for the afternoon for everybody. Nobody picks up an inch of rain. We are looking at 3 quarters of an inch or less. For tonight, a late shower chance developing out there as of now, 53 for the day tomorrow and a better afternoon after the morning rain and 58, the high temps, and remember this time of year, you expect 59 so we have april showers. And you know what the april showers bring . May flowers. Sports know all, weather whiz, the whole shebang. And 65 on saturday and i think sunday and monday could give us 70degree readings.
