totals: >> that purple color is three to four inches of rain. one cell just not moving for about three hours it sat on top of this area and that's why you have such dramatic rainfall totals and pictures that i can show you the area. you asked the situation now. the situation is better. it's not gone but it's better. giving you a bigger picture. anything that we see out there right now is not part of an organized system. you're seeing showers and storms that are all the as a result of heat and humidity. right? as we get into the day tomorrow, even more so into friday, then we'll start looking at an organized system. that spin up there around minneapolis that's your low pressure system. this trail is your cold front. this will move into the area and give us more widespread rain. again thus far today yesterday it's all been the western side of the hudson. tomorrow late tomorrow into friday especially when you could see it more all over the place. 7 p.m. tonight, here's the picture. then thursday morning 6 a.m., a little bit out there, a little bit. that's not going to be a big story.

tomorrow morning we can start off okay. little change through the day. you start to see some things popping up that will be west of the city. 6:30 p.m. hasn't kicked in yet but take a look at the line. that shows you where the front is. it will move into the area and it's going to give us more widespread rain as the front becomes part of our area. 6 a.m. on friday it's moved in. tough morning commute out there. then you will see how slow it is. from 6 a.m. in the western suburbs, 11:00 basically on top of the city and points north and south and 4:00 boy, these a problem. it just didn't move. again you have the slow-moving storms forecast for the day on friday. so we'll have to be potentially dealing with flooding again. we are going to watch that one very closely. here are the numbers. 83 degrees for your day on thursday. and i think you're okay to start off. then i do believe you will have the isolated stuff in the afternoon and then late thursday into friday is when the front will come through with heavier storms. 81 degrees. right now, they are suggesting that it's going to linger into

saturday and even more so on sunday. saturday i think you could see maybe earlier in the day and then i think you will have some spots saturday where you will be okay. sunday they bump the rain chances up a little bit. we have to watch what this front is going to do. we know it's a slow mover. we know that. but now they are saying it's going to get off our coast and stall. i'm not buying into that 100% yet. that's why i'm sort of of putting, like, right now a sun/cloud mix chance of rain over the weekend. if it goes in reverse, then the weekend is washed out. i don't see that yet. >> keep us updated. >> will do. >> thank you. the massive wildfires in washington state have firefighters so overwhelmed that they are talking to new zealand and australia for possible help. more than 100 members of the national guard are digging fire lines as helicopters drop water and 200 active duty military troops were also called in. five fires are burning around the town of chelan in the cascades. overnight, one of those firefighters jumped containment lines. >> since the month of june, we

have had crews out almost every week for those 14-day assignments on fire after fire after fire. >> lightning started the fires. 1,000 people are still out their homes and 75 homes and buildings are destroyed so far. some forest service workers may have a new idea to battle wildfires. take a look at this historic cabin in washington state now wrapped in a shield to shield it, rather, from heat and fire embers. the cabin was built in 1909 and the metallic wrap was used also during a 2012 wildfire. saturated ground and unstable conditions are delaying the search for three men buried in a landslides in alaska. more than 2.5" of rain fell in the area in 24 hours. several homes were washed away. local officials say there's little chance the missing men survived. >> we are sending people down to do all we can to help in

the situation so it's a very -- it's a very grim situation. our prayers go out to all those. >> with more rain expected a state of emergency has been declared in the area. are you feeling stressed anxious, maybe a little bit off. the culprit could be all around you. little things, hiding in your home making you cranky and you might not realize it. tonight the secrets to a happy home including one thing that could spice up your love life. watch happy home, happy life, tonight on cbs 2 news at 11:00. >> looking forward that. happy home, happy life. it's not your usual amusement ride. we go to see the seaglass carvel in action. >> at 6:00 are you a worker with unclaimed wages? the search for hundreds of
