Showing us great look at philadelphia. Im too scared to try that out. I wimp. I fall over or get hit by a car or something. I would give it a shotment like you said, you dont always look graceful. No, no. But pat did great job. Yes, did he. Always brave, ready for a good time. In a was grade. Look like they had decent wetter. Sunny out there. Looked nice yesterday. Not always the case with cloud cover, it will be a better day. Good. Always like to wrap the weekends up on high note, if we cant be looking at great weather all weekend long, now of course we did have again that cloud cover yesterday. But the folks down in rehoboth today, going to be better afternoon to maybe get down to the beach. We will have a little bit of cloud cover later on in the day. But here, so far, this morning, not too much out there. Maybe little bit of hazy sunshine. I have seen couple of people on the beach, seen couple of people on the board walk, been walking around, one person again theyre exercising this morning, got the Long Sleeve Shirt on. Dont blame them. It is a little on the cool side to start the day out. It will be below average side of things, throughout most of not just the morning, but the afternoon as well. Later portions of the afternoon and the evening, were below average, temperatures, then our system comes in, our low pressure system moves in tonight. Showers going to be moving into the region, maybe rumble every thunder for us through the afternoon hours, on our monday. Our system spirals in the northern planes, cold front, draped well down to our south. Now, this is the same system that caused flooding in indianna through the ohio river valley and Severe Weather back through the southeast and southern planes. So this system, has packed quite a punch. But, it is losing steam, as it works its way east. Thats some good news for us, while we will get little bit of shower, some thunderstorms tomorrow, no Severe Weather is expected for the delaware valley. Through today, we see that clear sky early on. We could probably get little bit more cloud cover through the afternoon hours. And into the early evening, than what were showing on the future weather, do be prepared for. That will overall again it will be dry. Thats good news for us. As we head through the nighttime hours tonight, we will probably start to see some showers develop. About midnight or so moving into the area. Probably after midnight. Looks like we could be seeing maybe shower or two tomorrow morning, it looks like we could possibly have little bit on the morning drive. So even though, again, 10 00 this morning just looking at cloud cover in the future weather model. Dow think we could see some shower activity, in little bit even earlier than that. Most of the heaviest precipitation though will be waiting until the afternoon hours, thats when we will see the showers, the thunderstorms roll on in, and they will be lasting until the overnight hours, hopefully by tuesday, though, we will be starting to clear things out. This sex actually what we are expecting again. The rain moves in tonight likely after midnight or so. Thunderstorms likely monday afternoon. Two, three, 4 00 in the afternoon, the rain and the thunderstorms could be heavy at times, but overall looking at widespread amounts every inch. Or so. Flooding threat extremely low, now if you do get caught in one of the thunderstorms in a area with poor drainage, or just in a lowlying spot, thats where could you look at some localized flooding because our amounts could be little higher than the 1 inch. Thats widespread. But overall again widespread issues not a concern. Tomorrow, that thunder symptom activity, 76 degrees, go with 75 on tuesday. Slowly clearing things out, mix every sunday and clouds, rain back in the forecast for wednesday, we get to 73 degrees. And then we continue with our spring like weather on thursday. Spotty shower cant be ruled out thursday afternoon with a high of 77. And then we are getting up into the mid 70s, and even upper 70s, jan, by the ends of the week and the weekend.
