hi, cecily. >> hi, rick and monica. we have some light scattered showers around right now showing on double scan. however, if we widen out, the center of the storm system is down to the south. basically over the border of south carolina and georgia and ahead of it, that's where they're getting some heavy rain, some flooding rain across south carolina. this low pressure will track to the northeast past the south and what that will do is pull some of that steady rain into our region as we head into the morning tomorrow so future tracker showing the timing is not good for the morning commute. by 8 o'clock we've got a steady rain over us and actually a lot of that rain will be intensifying as we head through the day tomorrow and with that easterly flow, it's going to be cool and it is going to be very windy. so, this is what to expect tomorrow. a steady rain is arriving by dawn. don't forget the umbrellas tomorrow. it will be raining basically on and off all day. more on than off. we're looking at a good half inch to an inc

meteorologist cecily tynan in for adam joseph and the rain has stopped cecily. >> that's right. we did start the day with showers with a cold front moving through. now some peeks of sunshine up ahead. right now let's go look at satellite6 and action radar. i've been on vacation for a week. and this shows that that front moving through and what's behind it, there's high pressure up to the north. that high pressure will be nudging down somewhat and that will bring pus loads of sunshine tomorrow. temperature-wise, it's still pretty mild but that will front to our south has pushed the 80-degree weather. we're at -- we were at 87 degrees yesterday. that's down to the south. right now though still pretty mild with a current temperature of 70 degrees. so, your evening planner showing the clouds will that continue to thin out. they should be clearing out by about midnight and with the clear skies it will be cooler. overnight low down to 49 degrees. seasonably cool. the next two days will be seasonable but i am tracking another day back near 80 degrees and then much cooler for the weeken

cecily tynan is at the big board from accuweather. cecily? >> we have been dealing with light showers on and off throughout the day. the pressure is across south carolina moving um to the mother east. the steady rain you see moves in throughout the day tomorrow. the morning rush the rain arrives from the south. good idea to allow extra time. roads are wet, 6:00, 49. 8:00, 59. temperatures holding in the 50s tomorrow. the rain will be intensifying as we head into the afternoon and early evening hours. you don't want to be heading out without an umbrella tomorrow. this is what to expect, on and off rain all day long. generally half inch to inch and a half rain. gusts up to 35 miles per hour. coastal gusts, 40 to 45 miles per hour with testimonies in the 50s. i'm tracking a sudden taste of summer through the week. jim? >> thank you, cecily. >> a pike county judge rejected a request for a competency i evaluation for eric frein. he had to be carried out of court. he's refusing to walk or talk and stares into space in a stiewstupor. prosecutors cal
