couple of showers out there, not everybody is dealing with the fog. there are some locations where it is little thicker than others, bull little lull right now, a loft moisture to work with, seeing heavier low-lying cloud cover settling on in. but we start it off quick check, yes, one little pocket of showers out, there that's generally what you are going to find, for the most part, here for the next few hours. these little pockets that fire up, and man, when you walk out the door, it is so steamy outside. these dew points are already into the 70s, right now, the hire the dew point the steamier it feels. good little synopsis how things time out today. stayed quite steamy through the early afternoon, will likely be scattered shower, maybe rumble every thunder, but i think the strongest storm with very similar time to go yesterday, say 4:00 p.m., seeing things ignite back through central pa, and right through the early evening rush, and even into the late evening. those strong storms will continue to rumble on through. the same threats are with us here today, maybe even little bit of elevated hail threat for us, and we still can't rule out tornado. so, even though we had severe storms yesterday, the atmosphere is still ripe for more today. we can expect little sun, clouds to thick epp up as the day progresses more thunderstorms, so basically an all or rather region wide event. everybody gets hit by it at some point. but it is mainly later on today. bob, over to you. >> 6:35, on a tuesday, lots of going on here in the traffic center. rolling out of the
