>> you did see the pope's reaction, right? did you see how happy he was? >> just with everyone, really. i mean, it was very emotional. that's to say the least. it was one of many moments, actually, to remember by the pope's visit. >> and some even made him laugh. in philadelphia, the pope chuckled when he spotted a baby that was dressed up to be looking just like him. baby girl was brought to him to kiss. he got a kick out of that. he then whispered in the guard's ear, the guard told the child's parents, they have a great sense of humor. >> i loved that yesterday. i thought, uh-huh. that's the key to get your baby -- to get the pope -- dress him like the pope. >> i love the smile, though, right? >> he cracked up. he cracked up when he first spotted that baby. >> when he was in east harlem he was playing with the kids. he is like, i can't hear you. give me more. good fun. let's get a look at the forecast. lonnie quinn is here. we have got some showers coming our way. >> some changes. some changes all around. temperature-wise, you know, rain wise, we will talk about everything. first the picture that you see in that window, it's not a terrible picture. you see more clouds. you may see peeks of sunshine. 77 degrees currently. 78 at 3:00 in the afternoon. eight degrees warmer than we expect to get this time of the year. it's going to start getting cool. as a matter of fact, that's part of my headlines. we are going to be talking about rain, all right? the cooler temperatures will set up also. i am talking wednesday, thursday, friday. the upcoming weekend. we have also got to watch the tropics. activity out there right now that it merits my attention. i will show you what's going on with it. right now there is not so much in our area. there is a light little sprinkle for a few folks out there. most of you haven't seen anything. won't see too much tonight. there is a better chance. and the source, it's a combo. you have a cold front off to the west. this is going to give us the rain chance. but it's more so the cold air that's stuffed behind this cold front that will filter in by, say, wednesday afternoon into thursday. so, yes, some rain will. but also you got -- it's like a smorgasbord of systems. one off of the north carolina coast. another one off of the west coast of florida and a third system in the tropics, all right? that little speck is bermuda. so south and west of bermuda. that system right now, the three i showed you, look at how the national hurricane center thinks this is going to progress. this would be a tropical storm off the shores on saturday. so it's something that you have to keep an eye on. again, when i would work with max mayfield at the national hurricane center he said never focus on the skinny red line. look at the entire possible area, which is this cone of concern. we are securely in it. the red line shows you possibly the highest probability. but anywhere in this shaded area has a chance. so it's important that we watch this one. i will do just that. i will update you as it comes in here. two updates. three, even four updates as it gets closer. i will watch this for you very carefully. we are all on the same team. 79 degrees tomorrow. i want you to grab an umbrella. i don't think it's the wet weather day, but it will increase as you go through your day. keep that umbrella with you for the whole week. every day there is a rain chance. i have not shown you an extended forecast like this since well before the summer. think about it. we did not have a wet weather week at all this summer. back to like the springtime. even before that. we are 79 on tuesday. start to develop that rain chance. wednesday looks to be the wettest day at 72 degrees. that's 72. you will probably hit 72 after midnight. 60s through the day. thursday a high of 64 degrees. the rain chance lingers. friday the rain chance is out there. saturday we watch that tropical system. >> thank you, lonnie. all right.
