showers though, look at this, a lot of thunderstorms that went through kent county and they also rely impacted the southern sections of new castle county through kent, through cape may county, they are exiting leaving but not totally gone. look what is following along. we have a batch of showers through lancaster right now and thinks a stalled out front in the area and that is just, that is just allowed to be like a train track allow any kind of moisture or troublemaker to decide to pull a stunt, and it is probably more likely where it will pull the stunt right where that stalled out front is. that front does eventually move through the north as a warm front and we will get other chances of showers and other parts of the area. and 73 degrees right now in philadelphia, 74 in wilmington. twenty-seven up in trenton. we will continue to have this cool 57 degrees, up in the poconos. if you like that cooler weather and you probably do if you are up in the poconos you've got just a gorgeous morning up there our future weather, now it is added this feature, of a few showers moving on through again and a few other showers wye 11:00 o'clock this morning maybe through wilmington. do you see some through philadelphia, south jersey, this is a day of the spotty shower here and there an isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out as we hit this evening though we will start to see more chances oven heavier rain. heavy rain, cannot be ruled out, there is just, you know, you can feel the moisture yourself, and you know how much and certainly atmosphere knows how much is out there scattered showers with we have i rain in it can be happening tonight, overnight, to the north, moving on through and then on monday, scattered around now, this looks pretty dry but as we move on into the afternoon we will pick up areas of these scattered showers and we will do the very same thing on tuesday and with this said it sound like it is raining all the time it is not mess of the time it is not raining but when it does rain, it has the chance of really raining hard for a while. this is a look at tuesday afternoon where we will continue with some of these showers. so the amounts will be on the order of at least an inch and by the time we will get to the end of the week by next saturday there could be several inches in several spots. just based on the amount of rain that we have got and if you get a thunderstorm to enhance some of those totals but notice, these are estimates going out in the future just, plan a time period this week of picking up some of these showers. summer begins though, next sunday, seven days away. felt like it on friday, didn't it when it was 95. today 87. wind south at 5 miles an hour. tonight 70 degrees. again, those showers and thunderstorm chances, and heavy rain possible. same deal on monday and maybe on tuesday. 91 degrees. wednesday during the day should be dry. friday during the day it should be dry the way it looks right now but
