Temperatures are definitely going up especially thursday, friday and saturday so Storm Tracker six live double scan showing we have a few sprinkles out there especially across the north mount poconos from a warm front that will bring us a surge or very warm air and with winds shifting out of the southwest and cloud cover its really not that cold out there from february standards and wilmington 41 pottstown 39 center city 42 down from our high of 52 and then south jersey and a little bit cooler and vine 34, and the boardwalk and Atlantic City 44 and in delaware 40 sat like six and action radar showing plenty of clouds out there and you can see a few echoes on the radar again a few showers possible overnight even tomorrow morning could see an isolated shower around 7 30 in the morning but mainly its just a cloudy morning but as that front continues to lift up to the north by the afternoon the clouds will be breaking for sunshine and noticeably warmer than today about ten degrees warmer tomorrows average high is 46 we will be a lot warmer than that 63 degrees in philadelphia, allentown 60 and cape may to the ocean with the wind on the bay cooler 55, trenton and wilmington 61. Thursday though with High Pressure off the atlantic almost like a classic bermuda high situation and cold front to the west we will get a stronger surge out of the south. 72 degrees that is 26 degrees above average but it gets warmer on friday. Wave a low pressure developing on the front and surge temperatures up to 75 degrees and could be a record high for friday.

Thursday back into the 70s very rare for february 72 degrees and friday forecasting a high of 75 degrees and now if we hit that that would break the record high of 74 back in 1985 and this would tie the second warmest day ever recorded in philadelphia in february, the warmest day is saturdays record high of 79 setback in 1930. We will be several degrees below that 72 degrees before a cold front slices in and what that will do is bring us some showers and thunderstorms possible in the afternoon behind this system we head back to more typical february temperatures, back to average, 46 degrees so typical chill if you are heading to any oscar parties and sunday night but the cold air doesnt last long by monday clouds break into sunshine with a high of 48 degrees, tuesday mostly cloudy with a high of 52.
