Heavy rain is far offshore but we still have a few scattered very light showers through Atlantic County down through Cape May County moving into parts of cumberland county. Upper Montgomery County if you are traveling in these areas, you may run into this especially across 76 around new morgan. Pottstown seeing light rain too. Thats really all we have right now. Rain chance will stay up as we go into part of your weekend, though, with this unsettled weather pattern in place. Basically we have a cold front to the south. It will be stalling as we go across the weekend and what happens with that means we are going to keep the clouds and the rain in the forecast and across saturday, some of that will be trying to move up to the north. Heres what future weather is showing for tonight. A few light showers still in the evening forecast. Clouds will stick around. Tomorrow, i really dont think it will be a bad day. Slight chance of a shower tomorrow afternoon but overall we will be on the drier side. Mix of sun and clouds. Then we go into saturday watch what happens. More cloud cover moves in showers just to our south by saturday morning which could easily move a little farther to the north and by saturday afternoon, we have a pretty fair chance for a scattered shower across the area or even isolated thunderstorms. Thats going to stay in the forecast saturday afternoon. Saturday night we are not going to completely clear out just yet. So far, it does look like we could have a slight chance in the forecast. Best chance will be south of philadelphia. By sunday, we will start to see more sunshine developing. Drier air finally starts to move in from the north on sunday so it looks like the best day out of the weekend right now. For friday tomorrow in the poconos we are looking at partly cloudy skies, mid 70s. Saturday, slight chance of a shower, more cloud cover, low 70s. As we go into sunday, thats when we will see more sunshine especially areas north, upper 70s for the poconos. For tonight, mostly cloudy skies, isolated showers still in the forecast. Mid 60s philadelphia upper 50s north and west. Tomorrow, mix of clouds and a little sunshine but we still have the chance for a stray shower around. Temperatures around 80 degrees. I dont think we will see heavy rain tomorrow but then we go into saturday and i think the shower chances will start to increase. By sunday more sunshine and temperatures warm up too. Notice they are warming from saturday to sunday mid 80s, then to upper 80s on monday. Coming up i will show you your shore forecast through the weekend as well as the delaware beaches. Former virginia senator jim webb announced his president ial campaign today. Webb joins a field of democrats challenging Hillary Clinton for the nomination. Meanwhile, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is preparing to join the crowded republican race for president. Today he filed the paperwork to announce his candidacy. His official kickoff is expected july 13th. Also in decision 2016 the garden state does not support governor Chris Christies run for the white house. Only 27 of those asked in a new poll say he would make a good president. His Approval Rating as governor remains at just 36 while 57 of those asked say he should resign as governor since hes now running for president. The majority of the poll believe christie has abandoned his commitment to the state. Christie announced his bid for the presidency on tuesday. Chuck todd from meet the press joining us from washington. We know bridgegate played a big role in new jersey. We are asking will that affect his campaign outside this area, across the nation . Do people care . Well i tell you, those poll numbers are brutal. Just brute al. Oifblts obviously its a reminder politics are tough in the state of new jersey. He was going to have an uphill battle in a republican nomination fight regardless of bridgegate. This is a very conservative republican primary electorate these days and Chris Christie by comparison is not as conservative as primary voters would like to have. When you throw in bridgegate and how he handled it it is one of those on one hand conservatives might feel some empathy for Chris Christie because they can claim the media piled on him. But if they can get to the leadership question for him and its something he has never been able to answer hes either a handson guy and knew what was going on or worse, he didnt know what was going on right under his own nose. I think that leadership challenge is what has seeped into the national conversation. Less about the scandal, more about undercutting whats supposed to be his great strength, that hes kind of a handson in your face kind of guy. While christie says he tells the truth as he sees it we have heard that time and time again, the latest polls show him with Approval Ratings in the 30s, the majority of people in new jersey dont believe he has been honest with them. Can he overcome that on a National Stage . Look it is not uncommon for a governor to have a skeptical constituency for governors that run for president. I remember when bill clinton was running, arkansas voters were split, he had a high job approval but they didnt think he was president ial material. Thats not uncommon. But when youre sitting at 30 , i think it makes it that much harder if he wants to say hey, look at my record look what ive gotten done in new jersey and then its easy to point to look at what new jersey voters think of your record. Certainly fodder for many of his opponents and its a crowded field. Chuck todd, thanks for joining us. You got it. Dont miss meest the press sunday at 10 30. Overcharged. Tonight, customers of one company are getting an apology. And one man deserves to win the lottery, its probably this guy.

The ocean is pretty good but sky condition not so great to be on the beaches. Rain is going to stay in your holiday forecast. Right now the heavy rain has left so if you are doing any traveling tonight, i dont think you will hit any heavy rain. Maybe very light showers or sprinkles. We have some through Atlantic County cape may, cumberland county, a few light showers through parts of delaware and some more moderate rain showers right near lower salford heading into bucks county across 476, also near limerick and upper Montgomery County. We will keep our eye on the showers for tonight but i dont think we will see anything very heavy. Live look across center city liberty one and two, it is still overcast skies. We expect that as we go through the rest of this evening. The weather pattern in place is going to be fairly unsettled through the weekend. The rain chances are going to stay up especially as we go into part of your saturday unfortunately. For tonight, if tonight is the start of your Holiday Weekend, by 6 00 p. M. , we will still be in the mid 70s so a little cool across the area with a chance for showers. Still by 8 00 tonight. By 10 00, temperatures in the low 70s.
