Well they broke up enough for pictures like this i want to show you, this was sent in on my facebook major from mike from harleysville. A spectacular sunset and clouds clearing out enough to reflect the longer wavelength colors of red and orange. The blue skies in the backgro d background. The last sunset of summer 2015. The autumnal equinox is early tomorrow morning at 4 21. This is also the time when almost all of the areas across the globe, except for the poles have nearly equal day and night. Philadelphia 67 degrees down from the high of 75 degrees. Millville 65. Trenton 63 degrees. Allentown dropped down to 57. Reading 58. The poconos 48 degrees. The skies continue to clear, satellite 6 along with action radar showing we still have high, thin clouds across south jersey and delaware. The High Pressure continues to push these down to the south and the east. That means tomorrow first day of fall will feel like summer and ti finally seeing sunshine again. Stuck in the clouds two days. And seasonably cool in the morning. By 11 00, 70. 2 00, 76. By 5 00, temperatures about 5 degrees above normal with a high of 80 degrees. Beautiful weather tomorrow and thursday. And satellite 6 along with action radar showing the fly in the oint manimentment appointment is often the coast of the carolinas, it is meandering there. And the question is how far north the low pressure will get. I will calling about a 30 chance, a slight chance that some of the rain will get far enough north where we could have showers over the weekend for the papal visit. However a better chance, a 70 chance the canadian high will flex its muscles and keep us dry. It is on the breezy side, cloudy and school. But if the High Pressure is Strong Enough the showers will stay down to our south. Thats what i am keeping my forki fingers crossed for. And 73 degrees, you want a jacket if your heading to the parkway. And sunday about the same. Lots of clouds, winds up to about 20 miles per hour. On the cool side and high of 72. The exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast we have two days of bright sunshine and temperatures in the 80s. First day of fall sunny and pleasant up to 80 degrees. Thursday we warm up a little bit more. 82 degrees. A cold front moves through thursday night. Coming through dry. And behind that on friday, temperatures drop down into the mid 70s. Mixture of clouds and sunshine. And saturday and sunday with the High Pressure to the north and low pressure to the south, it will be breezy with an easterly wind bringing in lots of clouds. On the cool side, 73 degrees. Saturday, 72 on sunday. Monday partly cloudy, 75 degrees. And tuesday, it gets warmer with a high of 77 degrees. What will be ideal for me and a lot of skywatcher is if it is Strong Enough clearing out the cloud. We have a super blood moon. Super moon about 14 bigger than typical moons and a lunar eclipse. It will look red if we can get the cloud out in time for that it will be beautiful. And i posted about it on my facebook. Sounds interesting. Stay tuned. Say a papal prayer, thank you.
