TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE AREA AND DEW POINTS YESTERDAY WE WERE IN THE UPPER 50S ALL AFTERNOON. NOW WE’RE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S AND EXPECT THESE NUMBERS TO STAY HERE TODAY, SO IT WILL FEEL STICKY TO MUGGY AT TIMES. YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST CALLS FOR SHOWERS THIS MORNING. A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK, MAYBE A LITTLE PEEK OF SUNSHINE AS WELL. AND THEN LATER TODAY WE’LL BE WATCHING FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA, AND SOME OF THEM COULD CONTAIN SOME GUSTY WINDS, NOT EXPECTING SEVERE WEATHER, BUT DON’T BE SURPRISED IF THEY DO HAVE SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND SOME BRIEF GUSTY WINDS. AS I JUST MENTIONED, TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT AROUND 80 DEGREES. A FEW SPOTS MAY EVEN SNEAK INTO THE LOW 80S. THIS IS THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS THAT WE HAVE IN THE TEN DAY FORECAST.

PENNDOT SAYS THAT MIDDLETOWN ROADS SEES 16,000 VEHICLES A DAY, AND IT SAYS THE NUMBER OF CRASHES ON THIS STRETCH IS HIGHER THAN AVERAGE. A MAJORITY OF THOSE CRASHES ARE OCCURRING AT INTERSECTIONS. WHEN MOTORISTS ARE TAKING MAKING LEFT TURNS THROUGH THAT CORRIDOR THERE IN A THROUGH LANE, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, CLOGGING UP TRAFFIC.
