We caught people out and about on ridge avenue despite the rainy after noon. You still have to get the errands done. And this is out along the shore, and definitely people are not out there, but maybe a in a couple of days when it is better. Right now, hurricane gert is hovering over the east coast of the United States causing some potentially dangerous conditions in the wa waters off of the jersey shore. Glenn hurricane schwartz is monitoring the impact. And krystal klei has the foreca forecast. This is finally moving out. Yes, and days worth of spotty thunderstorms and storms that were picked up, and finally, we will see the green moving off shore indicating that it taking the rain wit. We have the blanket of clouds overhead, and scattered showers across the southern half of the viewing area. We will look at where the are rain is moving right now, and we can zoom into parts of kent koun i ti and parts of cumberland county, and kent county with more than an inch of rain that has fallen and so this is a gool good deal of rain that has fallen. And so if we are pulling this out, you can see the back edge of the thick cloud coverage and once the the drier air moves in that is going to allow the forecast tomorrow with sunshine in it. Temperatures today way lower. The average high is 86 and we stayed in the 70s for the most part. 77 in society hill and 77 at the airport and 77 at fox chase, ands or thedaand torsdale, you are 78, and it is so humid out there, and you can feel the moisture in it, and i hate to the say it, but it is something sticking around for the next few days. The temperatures will be cranking up with more sunshine in the forecast. 90 in fair moupt, and shwanksville, and also in allentown, and same deal, 88 for the high tomorrow. 8 7 in robbinsville, and the new jersey shore, mid 80s there and warmer conditions. 84 in avalon and wildwood, and in delaware and newark, 8 the highs. And some of us are doing to be flirting with the 90 degree marks but it is going to be feeling like mid90s and bringing back the feels like forecast. T today uncomfortable, but wednesday, thursday and friday, the steamy range due to the fact that we will be seeing the temperatures hovering in the mid80s and 90s and the high humidity sticking around and that is go oing to mean a sticky forecast for the eagles and the bills game. And if you get there early, it is 86 and 83 for the start time, and 10 00, it is 79 degrees with a chance of some storms in the forecast. Now, we have got Something Else to talk about, and we mentioned it a moment ago, hurricane gert churning up the waters out, there and that means, glenn, some issues for the shore. That is right. The longer the hurricane is out there, and the bigger it is, and the stronger it is, the worse the conditions get at the coast. This is what we consider a minimal hurricane, and the max wind winds are about 80 miles per hour. It is not that far off of the coast. But it is looking to turn to the right. This front is causing it to turn, so it is not going to be coming up the coast, but wa what happens is as it moves to northeast, everything is sp spinning around, and it is churning up the ocean, and it is going to push the water towards the coastline. So even if you have a track the like that, you are talk ing abot extra high waves, swells and the rip currents get more intense. So there is at least a moderate risk of the rip currents. This is for tomorrow. Conditions will be improving as we head towards the weekend as gert moves out towards the north atlantic. So it is a temporary issue, and it is just for tomorrow.
