Yes, it does. Storm tracker6 live double scan shows that we are dry. Autumn has arrived as of 4 21 this morning but as youll see he in a moment its not going to feel like autumn this afternoon. As we take a look outside we have sky6 looking at center city. Hd view and there are stars above and the sun getting ready to pop up over the horizon nice and bright this morning. 62 degrees is your current temperature. Your dewpoint 53 indicating low humidity air so it will not feel sticky today. The winds out of the northnortheast at temperature Miles Per Hour. Going a little higher than that at times. As we move past sunrise. Right now sunrise looks pretty good as those clouds that were over south jersey and delaware are for the most part pushing off the coast. Southern delaware still a little bit overcast and this is because of the system that passed us by and is headed up to new england is pulling away and dragging those clouds out with it. 60 degrees by 8 oclock. It will still be a little bit cool by 8 oclock so if its a morning that you want to get out there and do a nice jog around town, you can do it just fine. By 11 oclock, 70 degrees, getting a little warm there and by 2 oclock 78 with a high of 80 this afternoon. Well above average.

Todays high in philadelphia, 78 in trenton, 78 in millville and if youre down the shore this afternoon, it will be a little bit cooler, highs ranging between 72 and 75 from cape may up to atlantic city. Area of low pressure down to the south is going to be the big feature to watch over the neck several days. Right now its so far to the south its not really affecting us but as it starts to push up the coast, there is the likelihood that by the weekend its going to start to circulate some clouds in, at least isnt high to mid level clouds and breezy conditions. Theres only about a 30 percent chance that the rain rises up enough to clip us and thats because a big area of High Pressure is in control and on most of our computer models over the last several days, every now and then one gives way and lets some rain come into philadelphia but most of these runs show that high Strong Enough where it suppresses the rain to the south. Well go for a 70 percent chance of staying dry this weekend but obviously youll want to keep an eye on that. For now its also looking breezy and cool with lots of clouds on saturday and sunday, some sunny breaks. 73 saturday, 72 sunday. Youll want a jacket or a sweatshirt if youre going to be out and about on the parkway because most of the time it will be a little bit breezy and cool. Today and tomorrow highs around 80 so a couple very warm days. Then 75 degrees with more clouds building on friday and there again those highs in the low 70s on saturday and sunday. Watching that southern storm system especially on sunday but at this point hoping it stays dry and looking like a decent chance that it l then monday and tuesday were back up into the upper 70s, people, so overall thats a pretty nice sevenday forecast.
