The big issue from all of that heavy rain, of course, was flooding. Kris tan son sent us this video every rain covered roads at 59th street and ladies avenue in sea isle city. This is what it look like in wilmington there is video sent to us from eyewitness kyle austin, the kirkwood highway covered in flood waters.

But at 1. 6 trillion gallons of water fell this week, on portions every wisconsin, and illinois. The governor.

Lake county illinois, 5800 buildings have reportedly been damaged by flood waters, forecasters say flooding in the northern chicago suburbs are get worse over the next few days, as water flows down rivers, into the state from wisconsin, and in burlington, the towns four bridges, remain closed, because the swollen fox river crested at more than 17 feet.

Survived all of the other ones. To think you lose, thats another story. It is the dis plane river that over topped its banks flooding the town of gorney. At one point, the river rose 3. Heres the good news, no rain is expected here this weekend, but the river is still rising. It is not expected to crest until sunday. David begnaud, cbs news, gorney, illinois. Thats incredible visual there, matt, a lot of towns waking up under water unfortunately. Those towns out in the midwest, theyre dealing with their fair share of severe weather, we had our fair share of wild weather, the last couple of days, we had Tornado Warning on thursday, of course, we had strong thunderstorms that rolled through the entire area yesterday. The good news is the front that popped all of the showers and thunderstorms off, off the coast at this point, going to be moving off the coast. So were looking at much quieter conditions for our saturday and sunday. Our eyewitness weather watchers, are up early with us on the weekend, seeing temperatures out there, that are in the 70s for the post part, we start down in delaware, where were seeing dolores adding 73 degrees in her backyard, little cloud cover out there, as well. Lets head newspaper jersey, going to jennys house, 72 degrees this morning, in cherry hill, some cloud cover for her, as well, dew point of zero seven. So still muggy, hoping to dry out today, maybe see little sunshine. Jenny, i think youre going to get your wish. It should and relatively nice saturday afternoon for us. Now, waking up across specially the Lehigh Valley, up into the poconos, some cloud cover, then also, some foggy conditions early on in the day. Were seeing limited visibility in areas like cut town, looking out on the Neighborhood Network, right now, temperature of 69. So our temperature not that bad. Again, dew point are high. So thats why were waking up to, again, low level cloud cover, unnethes foggy conditions, to start the day out. Now, overall, it will be much quieter saturday afternoon for us, lower humidity, once we get into the afternoon. So thats some good news for us. Seasonable high temperatures, so still little warm out there. We will be into the mid to upper 80s range. Doesnt look like we will really see too many 90s if we see any 90s at all. Thats good news for us. Overall, mix of sun and clouds, so were going to be seeing some sunshine out there, i know, like jenny was saying, our weather watch err, hoping to see some sun, i think you will get little later this afternoon. Lancaster at 74 degrees, kicking off the day, reading 72, down the shore looking at more of the 70s, Atlantic City area port 74, wildwood, 72, trenton, 71 this morning, the same goes for allentown at 71 degrees. So, it is warm and it is muggy, with our dew point in the 70s, but theyll be dipping down into the 60s later this afternoon. Satellite and radar from the last couple of hours, few showers, were out there, firing up along the bound rip, that is just down to the south. But the good news, since really fizzled out it will be a dry day today. Again still watching this one cell, right just west of harrisburg, maybe few showers there. Isolated rumble every thunder. But the good news again that as it moves eastwards is expected to move into some drier air, then fade out, not too much that we need to worry about. There is the stationary front for the most part, thats just sitting down to the south. So thats what those light showers that we saw couple every hours ago, thats what they were riding along. This front, this low, will slide off the coastline, we go through the day today. What that means, is that were actually looking for some sunshine, and also those lower dew points, because northwest winds will bring in some drier air from canada, and thats some good news for us. Future weather see this afternoon tries to paint in couple every very spotty, very light rain showers overdoing those chances to say the least. It is going to be just day of mixing of sun and clouds, no precipitation, thats good news for us, and as we go through the night tonight we clear things out even more. Temperatures tonight, though, still not going to be really all that reflective of the clearer skies and even lower dew points, and lower humidity, that were going to be seeing, so still going to be seeing lows tonight probably around 70 degrees or so. Instead of maybe down even into the 60s, and then, really throughout our day sunday, plenty of sunshine for us, our next system starts to roll in as we go through our tuesday, or monday i should say, that is where we could see maybe a shower or thunderstorm start to develop. Temperatures across the area, 80s, 70s, up to the north of the Lehigh Valley, poconos, those mid 80s for us here, through philly. And then head back in jersey shore point maybe some 70s, also some mid to upper 80s. High temperature today, 87 degrees. Here in philly, getting a look at the seven day forecast, more 80s tomorrow. Then we do see the 90s starting on tuesday, and then clo
