day for the mid-atlantic, the northeast and for even areas back towards oklahoma and arkansas. we re about to get drenched in new york city. heavy rain through the lehigh valley. now moving into philadelphia. d.c. will get some rain on and off all morning long and possibly thunderstorms this afternoon. so airport delays are very likely today. maybe even significant delays. the heavy rain especially new york city from about 8:00 right until about noon is when the heaviest should be moving through new york. philadelphia, the heavy rain is about to move in right now. also thunderstorms from ft. smith to oklahoma city. this is the same area that saw a lot of heavy rain last week. flash flooding concerns along interstate 40 there. in general, the forecast, it s still hot in texas. yesterday was 100 in dallas. today will be about 100. 101 in san antonio. but the big story will be the rain in the east today. brian, today will pretty much be a rainout for many areas of the northeast. coming
rainout if you hold tickets to that game. the new york tabloids being less than shy about what they think people should do. enter sandman in mariano rivera. let s get to some highlights. tigers looking for a four-game sweep over the indians. mack cher sir, probably the best pitcher in baseball. i think it was his 17th win he got last night. miguel cabrera had a nice double. kansas city, sox began a four-game set. jon lester has been really uneven this year. bottom of the first, line drive single, royals up 3-0, that s all they need. and channing has been a red sox killer. the royals are in the hunt for the wild card.
