We have been talking about it for last couple days with the Eyewitness Weather Team about this storm coming through and boy, has it especially areas south of the philadelphia area we will take a look at Neighborhood Network from rehoboth, lots of rain on the lens here this morning and it is going to remain on the wet side of things all the way through most of the morning especially again, the further south from the city that you go. Storm scan three shows all of the precipitation spiraling around our area of low pressure which is just around d. C. , Baltimore Areas. That is center of the low. We have back side precipitation in western pennsylvania and West Virginia and then of course heavier rain down through southern delaware and back toward the southern shore points in new jersey as well. Taking in the philadelphia area to start out not too much happening. We did have maybe a little moderate rainfall an hour or so ago that pushed through center city, rest of us relatively light precipitation extending from Central New Jersey backup just north of the city. As you go further north the dryer it gets. As we head south though that is not the case. We will increase precipitation down toward the shore, wildwood gets in on that moderate to heavy rainfall. Cape may also seeing at this point more moderate to heavier rainfall extend ago this heavier rain up toward south of avalon and toward sea isle and further north to Atlantic City and ocean city where we have light to maryland rate rainfall as well.

So central, southern new jersey and back down toward delaware. Philadelphia is incorporated in this Flash Flood Watch and so is southern parts of the Montgomery County, delaware and chester counties. We will keep an eye on that precipitation in the philadelphia area even if the heaviest rain is going to be to the south. We will time this out again until 12 00 noon or so we are looking for period of the heavier rainfall, better chance is south of the city. Into the early afternoon that rain starts to slowly taper off and it does last longer back down toward the shore points and we will see after 3 00 oclock were probably dry here in fail and areas north where we are seeing maybe a few breaks in the cloud with the isolated shower still lingering back down to the south. Heres our summer noreaster off the coast line spiraling all that air, precipitation around it. High pressure will settle in as we head toward end of the weekend and next week. Heaviest rainfall is this morning but a great sunday in store with some sunshine for us, as well. Coastal impact today and tonight period of heavy rainfall additionally on top of what we have seen maybe another inch, inch and a half and maybe more further south we will go, wind gusts up to 25 miles an hour, minimal beach erosion is a possibility later today and tonight and dangerous rip currents hopefully nobody going in the water today. Not a good day for that. If you do there are dangerous rip currents out there future rain amounts not too much is changing for us here in philadelphia. It is areas back dunn toward Atlantic City, wildwood, rehoboth where we are looking for an inch, inch and a half or more. Heres that shore cast, 75 at the shore, water temperature up 76. Seven day forecast, 77 for the high in the city. Then it gets very nice, very quickly. Sunday high of 82, sunshine.
