We have nice looking weather starting to day and will last all day long. The sunnies up at the shore. We will be seeing sunshine today, looks terrific here. What else do we see outside our window . We will find the following. A 41degree temperature in philadelphia. We have 39 in trenton. Thirtyfive wilmington. Thirtysix in millville. All of these temperatures so much warmer then it was yesterday morning. So that is a little gift that we get today. Now, the punishment out of all of this may be the rain that we start to see but ill tell you what, it comes with temperatures in the lower 70s. If you have to have lower 70s with rainy think after the cold we have seen we will probably sake that combination. We will get it anyway so we might as well take it. This rain moving in the our area. Warmer temperatures from the south, also moving in the area. It will be a mild day today with temperatures getting into the 250s, middle 50s. Yesterday we were in the middle 40s. Warm front comes through. Our temperature tomorrow will be about 70, 71 degrees. This is just about record warmth, 71 is the record. Cold front comes through here and that is later on monday night and that drops our temperatures on tuesday, to the 50s and then there is a system that will be forming and we will talk about that. Lets get through this rain first. Here is the computer model that says and it is already changed this morning. So, nothing is set in stone. Just know that probably most areas, under an inch of rain though there could be some spots, where we pick up a little bit more than that and maybe not even necessarily where it is indicated here as i said the computer models have been changing a a lot on that but just know that rain and possibly heavy at times can be happening overnight tonight, and for the first part of tomorrow. Lets show you this. This is on our future weather. We will see this rain here at 1 00 in the morning. This is 5 00 oclock, 6 00 oclock, we have seen heavy rain coming through. Generally it leaves after the morning hour, lingering shower and then warm and breezy for rest of the day on monday, and then tuesday we will start to see some clouds. Wednesday we will start to see some clouds and this is the other issue, weve got a coatal storm that may be forming off the coast, where did his it get . Track is in the set. One scenario takes it a little further out, we will get some rain. Another one brings it closer drawing down more cold air and some spots could be picking up some snow mixing in. Computer models have been changing a a lot, this will not look probably like it looks, some area may in the get anything. We may in the get anything out of this. The chances of significant accumulating snow are pretty remote but this computer model says you could see a mix in here through philadelphia, not much at the shore, little bit more as you go north and west. I dont think the amount that will be as problematic as the timing, the day before thanksgiving. So philadelphia today they no problems, 55, 55 at the shore, poconos, 48 degrees. I think it is just a reminder that on wednesday if you can leave earlier just to avoid any kind of wet weather if it is just rain, might be a good idea. Fiftyfive for us. Today is a good day to get away from work tomorrow. 48 degrees. Shower overnight. Some of that could get heavy overnight. Most of the day tomorrow we should be rain free but we will start wet, morning rush impacted, 72 degrees tomorrow. Tuesday, 55. It is dry. Wednesday we will pick up the clouds. We will also pick up some rain, snow, is it mix . Is it just rain . Does it change over to a little will bit of snow . That is still way far out and yet to be determined, but we should be drying out, should be drying out by thanksgiving, 43. Then dry and cold, after that. Nicole .
