We will have wind, cloud to contend with but not that chance of rain. A little sprinkle. We can deal with that. We can deal with that. It will mess up your hair but that is about it. But lets, not your mood. I dont think anything could mess up anyones mood today because that has been a beautiful event for the city. How much fun for me having moved here, not too long ago myself, it is pretty darn cool. Turf say. We have cool and breezy conditions. I think as we get into the frame frame that were talking about papal mass at 4c p. M. Now lets just keep in mind we will feel cooler then those numbers indicate because of the breeze. The this is a low pressure system. As you can see it is closed. It is off to the south and west. Good news is we will stay relatively dry. Taking a look at future weather, we go track this forward. You can see plenty of moisture trying to make its way in. You will see a easterly flow at 5 00 p. M. This afternoon and it is trying to come in. A few sprinkles could make it. The a as we get into monday we could see rain. As we get into tuesday we will need an umbrella at 4 00 p. M. Tuesday afternoon. Currently a at 61 degrees in philadelphia we are warming up a touch. Fortynine in mount pocono. Fiftysix in lancaster. The as we head down the the shore about 69 degrees in wildwood. So they are already getting a little bit warmer. Lets take a look at these temperatures down the shore and talk about the fact that we have a breeze getting it going to day. We are in the mid to upper 60s and we are nine, ten, 11 miles an hour wind gusting, a little bit the higher in dover, about 15 miles an hour. That wind will actually help to pile water, up to the shore. That is why we are under a Coastal Flood Advisory that could see minor flooding so just a heads up for those living down the the shore. I know you have dealt with this before but yeah, today is when you want to look out for it. 1 00a in m on monday morning. So today we have a high of 75, breezy, cloudy, we could see sprinkles, noreasterly breeze will make you feel chilly to get the jacket on. Make sure you you are ready.
