Unbelievable, the kind of damage that flood do, so yes, hearts really going out to the folks that are deal with this in texas for sure. We dont have any flooding rain in our forecast, but couple fronts will be passing through the next few days, probably few thunderstorms to go along with it, as well, but at this point not worried about any major Severe Weather issues, nothing like that, so kind of run of the mill systems that push through here. We stay somewhat consistent when it comes to the warmth thats out there, as well. Lets take you outside. I want to show you how different it can be even just, what, 100 miles difference, between counties, so we start things off in ocean sit, where certainly the clouds are not keeping anybody from walking out and about. It is actually pretty nice afternoon, you just dont have as much sunshine as perhaps you were hoping for, that sun is trying to peak through, so well call it limited sunshine. On skycam 3, here in ocean city really up and down the entire jersey shore, however, further inland go, go next to the live neighborhood network, live shot, look like camp going on, recess taking place under the pavilion, outside the he elementary school, you gt the idea, so beautiful afternoon un folding, 81 degrees, certainly where you have got the brightest conditions, and it is warming up the mossee fish endly. That said, lets take to you radar, there are few things we want to talk about here there is next front that you can see sort of draped back, essentially along the ohio river, thats pushing through tomorrow. And brink withing it our next round of showers. Would you believe that what had been Tropical Cyclone bonnie actually now turning itself back into and upgrading it self to tropical depression bonnie again . This will not give up. Good thing is that it is actually going to be migrating out to sea with time, so thank the lucky stars for that, in addition to that, there is an area of low pressure, very broad zone across the gulf at the National Hurricane center watching at this point im not worried about that for any major impact, but keep an eye on that, too, here is bonnie expected to with time finally get out and pushed out to sea, and then week, unbelievable that will not go away. Lets jump to future weather the next system that will have any direct impact is front i showed you, as early as later on tonight, far northwest counties, could see quick shower, notice how things sort of just they get cut off almost as soon as you hit the schuylkill valley here so we are going to eventually see some wet weather push in, looks like for the most part like it will wait until tomorrow morning, that is your cold front crossing through, because it comes in the morning before you have had time to heat up throughout the day, you shouldnt have too much instability, there could be brief and locally heavy downpour, the majority of the rain will come in though in the morning maybe just left over shower at some point for the rest of the afternoon, very scattered in nature. So, thats what this is going do to the uv index, sort of go up and down, today, still specially where you got the brightest conditions, pretty toasty and definitely burn easily if youre not prepared for it. But by tomorrow a lot more clouds cover overhead courtesy of the frontal paths and saturday, though, we rebounds on the uv index as sun comes back. Meanwhile phillies game tonight looking like decent excuse to go down to south philly, 76 degrees under sunshine, 70 51 pitch, loving it. Now, moving forward, i like to call this the every other day plan. Now, the consistent warmth is with us, right through monday, low to mid 80s, and then, we do have to deal with couple of thundershowers again, so that will common friday. That will common sunday with another front moving in, and then by monday we are back into some sunshine. So every other day you can bank on dry weather, and then every other day beyond that, ya, little wet weather to dodge. But, not really talking about any kind of flooding rain, no major storms, just run of the mill sort of summer like wetter. So i can grill out saturday. I would say absolutely, party at jims place.
