maybe close to wilmington. this is not a lot of rain real light. it could be something that comes up and bothers you over the next half hour to maybe 45 minutes. as we take a look outside we're looking at some clearing over philadelphia. and we are expecting overall a mix of sun and clouds as we go through the day. looks like we might see some of that early. 64 degrees is your current temperature. dewpoint 52 and your winds south-southwest at 13 picking up a little bit now wind wise but not all that horrific. i'm going to bring in that always on seven day on the left portion of your screen for those of you watching in hd. future tracker shows you by 6:30, 7:00, 8 o'clock, not a whole lot more rain, maybe just a little sprinkle here or there. by noon we may see a little bit more of that sunshine breaking through and i think that's probably the flavor of the day. not that we can't see a passing pop-up sprinkle or shower this afternoon. most of the day will be dry and most of you won't have to worry about. that it's later in the evening hours when more showers could develop and eventually later tonight and future tracker keeping this pretty late

tonight, could come a little sooner than this but this is the idea am you may actually transition into some heavier showers and perhaps a gusty thunderstorm or two. that wouldn't be out of the question later tonight and overnight so if you hear a rumble of thunder even though we're late in the season for it you want to take cover from it. what to expect tonight? spotty showers any time from late this afternoon in through the evening and then later on an isolated thunderstorm that could produce gusty winds and downpours. hopefully most of you miss out on that. as we go through the day, temperatures are going to treat us pretty nicely. we're at 64 by 8 o'clock and then 68 by 11:00 and your high today of 75 probably around 3 o'clock. notice how we are going for that mix of clouds and sun during most of the day. and then clouds thickening a little bit as we go late into the day and in the evening ahead of that next round of showers. high temperatures today just about everybody in the 70's. even allentown 73. we might stop in the upper 60's closer to the shore in a couple can of spots. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, so today's high is 75, clouds and sun overall. a late day or night time shower followed by a later

thunderstorm tonight. and then tomorrow it looks like any rain that's left over from this will probably be done before dawn. of course we'll be here in the morning just in case there's something still popping but looks like it dries quickly. in the afternoon we see sunshine returning and a high of 73. and then thursday bright and breezy, cooler, 66 but still on the sunny side. on friday, another system rolls in and we get clouds and periods of rain through the day. sometimes it will just be a shower. other times there might be a batch of steadier rain. that continues off and on into friday night. and then on saturday, it looks like some showers linger off and on, mainly cloudy skies, a high of 66. probably not a washout on saturday but a little damp at times. the eagles game on sunday looks dry. >> good. >> okay. >> it is now 6:40. up next including the terrifying moments for two planes on a taxi way overseas. >> there is evidence in a chinatown rape case, a the least police say there is that leads detectives to believe the suspect has done it before. karen. >> live on 422 past oaks we see that eastbound traffic already starting to get heavy
