David joins us. Were starting off a little chillier than the last couple days. Little bit and ending up a little cooler too. Storm tracker6 double scan slows you were dry and as we take a look outside we have somewhat Cool Conditions with some areas in the 40s. Philadelphia in the low 50s but you can see that camera rock steady as the winds really arent all that strong. Occasionally were getting that many up into the low double digits but generally speaking pretty light. Temperatures, here we go, 46 degrees in allentown. Just 41 in reading. That is cooler than yesterday up in reading. 42 lancaster. 47 in trenton. 46 degrees in wilmington. 42 degrees in millville and a five and a two down in cape may so a light jacket probably not a bad idea but youll find as you step outside that its not too bad cause theres not much wind. Cloud cover also disappearing down to our south as that frontal boundary that drove those clouds in during the morning and afternoon yesterday is now down to our south. Now, on top of that front it will be a little bit cooler this afternoon. Up in the Lehigh Valley a high around 69 degrees, mostly sunny with less wind, though, so a comfortable afternoon certainly and at the shore, looks like were back down into the cooler zone. Mostly sunny, less wind but a high probably around 60 up and down the coast today. A good looking day but jacket weather. In philadelphia high around 70 degrees, mostly sunny, a bit cooler, probably getting that high pretty late in the afternoon, say, 4 oclock or so and the winds out of the north at just six to 12 Miles Per Hour. Yesterday we had the winds up in the 20s so obviously not as windy. And that will be the story tonight at the ballpark, too. If you are headed down you need gear certainly, maybe some extra gear to add during the game as things cool down but with less wind it shouldnt be all that bad. 66 degrees for the first pitch and 57 in the ninth inning. Hopefully the phillies can get it on track against the mets tonight. Overnight 47,. Tomorrow 74 degrees will be your high as sun giving way to clouds as this system comes in a little bit warmer and by friday well be looking at showers. Your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, 70 degrees sunny and cooler today not bad. Tomorrow sun in the morning and then increasing clouds during the day. Still some sun breaking through in the afternoon probably and a high of 74 degrees. Possibility that we see he some late night showers but i think most of that is really centered through the day on friday. Well see clouds, maybe some sunny breaks. 77 is the high and some off and on showers and perhaps a rum as we go through the afternoon and evening on friday. All that is done for saturday. The sunshine couples roaring back on saturday, 72 is the afternoon high. And then sunday, partly sunny and 69 so a pretty good looking weekend overall. More clouds on monday with a high of 70. The amount of cloud cover and the exact temperature you get will depend on where a frontal boundary stalls. If it stays to our north it might actually be a little bit warmer and brighter and then tuesday mostly cloudy, 72. Couple of showers around early next week. It will be good because it has been kind of dry. It has. We need it. And theres a somewhat elevated risk of brush fires again today and an even higher one tomorrow. Thanks, david. 5 11.
