Rain now and more rain later and some could be severe. Stormtracker 6 live double scan showing you that for now we are still damp out there and the rain is breaking up a little bit over south jersey but there is more to come and i want to key on the northern suburbs though where some of the heaviest downpours are right now, new hope just got rid of one of these and the ponding and puddling on the roadways is trying to drain into your storm drains and trenton you are just getting missed by this cell but Jackson Mills and Mercer County east of trenton possible problems there with street issues and medford also just about to get rid of this cell. That is the way it goes, you get hit with one of these things and then its past you. And later this evening and afternoon there could be thunderstorms mixed in. We are looking at a profile today that could support that. The action cam was showing you a perfect picture of the way things looked today at the japanese garden, you can see the rain drops on the water. 53 degrees is your current temperature, we started out in the 40s and 30s up north but we are improving temperaturewise, and the winds are not all that bad. Temperatures across the region, 30s in allentown and reading and notice we are into the 60s in a couple of spots down south, with mild air continuing to come up from the south and pushing up to allentown and by midnight tonight up to 50 in allentown and low 60s in philadelphia, and it will take a while to get to our daily highs, they probably wont hit until later, the big story is the rain and from now until 3 00 we are in and out of the rain drops and at some point may hear rumbles of thunder and it looks like at 3 00 the model wants to suggest that in chester county. Later we go into the afternoon and evening and a better chance of more of this filtering in. The best shot is in through the evening and maybe 7 00, 7 30 and up to 10 30, this is what we are looking at the potential for spotty, gusty thunderstorms, that could produce damaging wind gusts. We want to show you something called the low level jet, an area where the winds above the surface are strong, and can enhance thunderstorms right now. You go up to 2 00 and starts to push into the region and this is the yellow area, and look at this into the evening hours, we get the yellow and this bullet of red and that is a good upper level wind profile that could create a thunderstorm that produces heavy rain ands could tap into the win winds above the surface and bring them to the surface. We are looking at 60 Miles Per Hour potential. Overall a moderate risk of lightning and high risk of downpours and the strong Straight Line winds. I am bumping up tornadoes to a moderate level, not that i think that is necessarily going to happen but its part of the package from here to the southern Midatlantic States and it wouldnt be out of the question. If you hear a rumble of thunder go to the lower floors and ride it out in safety there. Gusty thunderstorms is the Biggest Issue and watch out for that thunder okay. Tomorrow things get better, to 53 in the morning and temperatures drop, as the afternoon goes on, a spotty shower around and windy and chilly. On friday blustery and colder and a high of 40, friday chilly and 45 and saturday sunday and monday looking highs of 60 and march arrives tuesday to the tune of 52 and a late day shower. Again be careful of the thunderstorms if they pop up you want to ride them out in safety. Lower floors are the best.

From the time they go out with security codes and those come back to us, we then have them in an undisclosed location, inside of that location, security is tight. There is a specialized alarm system, bio metric locks and no internet access. Where a small team counts all 24 categories by hand. Then its up to brian and i to consolidate that and recount that and put it in envelope and seal it in red. The envelopes and a duplicate are loaded into a briefcase like this one. And they enter the code and take their briefcase, each then traveling a different route to the oscar red carpet escorted by los angeles police. No matter what happens at least one of us will get there. As a spoof they even carried a third used by host Neil Patrick Harris and they hand it to the presenter just seconds before the announcement. Its an important secret, its a secret we keep forever and that is who got second. Right, people always dying to know that. There has been six ties in Oscar History and to make sure the company that printses the cards and envelopes, doesnt know who the winners are they print a car for every nominee and Price Waterhouse places the right card in the envelope.
