so, a closer look and we'll start you down the shore on storm tracker6 live double scan. clearly this is not heavy rain. most of it highlighted in that lighter shade of green which is storm tracker's way of showing the light inconsequential stuff every now and then a heavier cell getting off the coast quickly. then a lull with another batch of rain with perhaps rain coming down little bit later on. these have been pretty no nonsense cells though. as we take a look at philadelphia itself, i was just standing out in this a moment ago, coming down steady enough for an umbrella but not an inundating rain certainly and this also looks like it's very quickly passing to the east of philadelphia probably in another 10, 15 minutes you'll be drying out although you will have wet roads in the wake of this. and then up in the northern and western suburbs there's yet another batch on the way. reading already had a couple of these earlier. you're going to get another one before too much longer, same story in kutztown and fleetwood. allentown with a much lighter sprinkle and if you're in honey brook in chester county or pottstown you're likely getting wet a little bit later this morning from that as well.
