will see the first raindrops arriving from the south during the evening hours tonight, maybe even late afternoon right down the shore. but it does look like it's going to get increasingly wet overnight and the thursday morning commute does look like it's going to be pretty wet as you'll see in a moment. temperature right now is 56 degrees, your dewpoint at 50. winds currently are calm and your air pressure is well over 30-inches and here you see future tracker 6 and i just. going to go ahead and add that always on seven day to the side so that you can look ahead a little bit if you're watching in hd. the cloud cover this morning isn't all that bad. and as we go up into the afternoon that's really when it's going to start to get thicker. might still have some breaks of sun here or there but the clouds are getting thicker by 3 o'clock and then we get into the evening hours, 6 o'clock and there's the chance of some of that rain coming in up over the shore and then by 11:00, 11:30 tonight really around the time adam and cecily will be on the air tonight we'll probably see some heavier rain beginning to come in. that soon down the shore and then eventually overnight

getting into philadelphia as well. ahead of all of this it's really just a day where the clouds increase a little bit and we get on the mild and comfortable side. 11 o'clock 67 degrees. by 2 o'clock 74 and your high of 75 around 3 o'clock with those clouds getting thicker as we head towards the dinner hour. 75 is the high in philadelphia, low 70's up north in the lehigh valley and reading. and holding on or about 70 down the shore. overnight tonight, and this is future tracker after midnight we see heavy rain starting to come through and really pour through philadelphia so that during the morning rush hour, even if the heaviest stuff is off to the north at that point we'll have a lot of leftover ponding and puddling and splashing on the roadways and that's going to make for a slow morning commute on thursday. and we get up to 9 o'clock and it still looks kind of damp with some lingering showers around. the rest of the day for the most part just light shower activity and that system pushes away toward the north during the day and evening.

some of the models are going for up close to 2-inches of rain so we'll go between one and two in general. and we are also looking at gusty winds along with this because this is a coastal low pressure system, the center of which is not going to be all that far to the south so wind gusts up to 30 to 35 miles per hour around i-95 along with that soaking rain at times. at the shore the gusts could actually go 40 to 45 with minor tidal flooding later today and perhaps tomorrow morning. and there's also a rip current risk along the delaware beaches that could get extended tomorrow up to the new jersey shore. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, increasing clouds today, 75 is your high. rain holding off in most neighborhoods until tonight. and then tomorrow cloudy nd rainy, most of the rain centered in the morning hours, 66 is the afternoon high. sun returns on friday, 74 and we're still looking for that warm nice weekend with highs in the low 80's. and then monday we'll probably get a few more clouds kicking back in but it still looks okay with that high of 79. rain again probably for tuesday the way things look now and cooler.
