00:00 Well, while much of the Northeast
00:02 does not necessarily need the rain,
00:05 you know it seems like we're
00:07 stuck on repeat here weekend
00:08 after weekend after weekend.
00:10 And we have the wet weather now for some.
00:13 It would be deemed beneficial as we
00:15 look our way into Western New York,
00:18 Western Virginia and parts of Ohio
00:20 and into Indiana and indeed here
00:22 we have seen some cases of a quarter
00:24 to even a half an inch of rain.
00:27 That's definitely been some good news
00:29 as we go through the afternoon
00:31 and into the evening though.
00:33 We're going to see that wet weather
00:35 translate toward Interstate 95.
00:36 Now the PA Turnpike Interstate 68
00:38 soggy out there, chilly,
00:39 little breezy,
00:40 kind of a raw day and there could be
00:43 some travel delays as an end result.
00:45 So make sure you have the rain jacket,
00:48 the umbrella as well as the Accuweather app.
00:50 Check us out here at Accuweather.com to
00:53 notice the numbers for today running
00:55 at least a few if not several.
00:57 Double digits in the case of Detroit
01:00 below the historical average and as
01:02 we work our way into tonight or not
01:04 finished sluggish is the word I would
01:07 probably use to describe this area of
01:09 low pressure. It's going to be weakening,
01:12 but there's still moisture around
01:14 and there's some gusty winds also
01:16 charging off the Great Lakes so that
01:18 wet weather is going to be adding up
01:21 here as we work our way right into Sunday.
01:24 The leaves are coming down.
01:26 Those will be slippery.
01:27 Plans can be impacted.
01:29 Also be some localized flooding
01:30 and poor drainage areas.
01:32 Nothing widespread,
01:32 but where the water tends to collect
01:35 and keep in mind the leaves can also
01:37 kind of collect towards some of
01:39 those storm drains here too.
01:41 High temperature wise as we go into Sunday,
01:44 still down into those 50s around
01:46 Detroit and Buffalo,
01:47 our nation's capital topping off at 63.
01:49 Little bit of sunshine though to
01:51 brighten your day here in Boston
01:53 and also heading into Portland.
01:55 heading into Portland.
