Were off to a little bit of a cloudy start across most of the region but as you check out storm tracker6 live double scan there arent any showers out there. There is the possibility that clouds are low enough youre getting drizzle on the windshield in some spots but not everybody is seeing that. As we take a look outside we have sky6, mainly cloudy skies over the Commodore Barry bridge although out on the horizon you can see some orange and every now and then its possible that you will see some sunny breaks. I think the better chance of that is probably in Northern Areas like the Lehigh Valley this morning but we cant rule it out just everywhere. The clouds still factor this morning. Temperatures a little bit cooler, 54 degrees winds out of the northeast at 12 Miles Per Hour right now t weve seen them fluctuating from the upper Single Digits to the low double digits. Not a big breeze out there. And future tracker6 shows that you while we are starting out cloudy and every now and then you might get some drizzle here and there, it does look like as we roll through the day, particularly past about, maybe 11, 12, 1 00 p. M. , that the clouds break up a little bit and some of you start seeing some sunny breaks. And more of the same as we go later into the afternoon. The 6 oclock view on future tracker starts to put more holes in the clouds. I dont know that the cloud placement is exactly correct here but the idea is that while we start out cloudy we have the chance of at least some sunny breaks as we go later into the day and then later tonight we transition to partly cloudy skies and you start to see some stars out. Todays forecast, 55 degrees by 8 oclock. 60 by 10 00 a. M. We start out kind of cool. By noon, probably still just the mid 60s with some of those sunny breaks in some neighborhoods. By 3 oclock, 68 and im looking for a high around 69 this afternoon. Well probably hit that at about 4 oclock and still be sitting close though that by five and 6 oclock tonight. Again, open for some sunny breaks as we go through the morning and especially later in the day. 69 is your high in philadelphia, similar numbers in wilmington millville allentown. 67 today in trenton. Could get some 70s here and there. Well pop one that were in reading and see about that. A light breeze at time. Down the shore a little cooler 66 in ac and chillier as you head down the coast toward cape may a high of just 62 degrees there. Tomorrow improvement. We get up to 72 and it looks like a coastal feature will be far enough off the coast where it ditches in clouds later in the day and we could see a shower at night but generally speaking thats a low impact situation with the storm so far off the coast. Your sevenday from accuweather 69 clouds sunny breaks possible as we go through the day and then sun to clouds on thursday with that low off the coast, maybe a shower at night but generally speaking a decent day with a high of 72. Speaking of decent how about partly sunny skies on friday and a much more seasonable high of 78. If we see any rain its early in the morning. Otherwise partly sunny and nice. For the weekend on saturday, partly sunny and warm with a high of 84 degrees. Thats a great day. On sunday, starts to get a little bit sweatier with humidity going up possible to 90. Hot and humid on monday and tuesday with a tuesday thunderstorm. If we hit that 90 on sunday it looks pretty easy well get the seasons second heat wave. Okay, thank you david.

There was some rain this morning, just a little bit but then you look out and sky6 you see the ben franklin bridge, the sun coming up over the clouds and you say you know what, im going to go out there and give them the business. As you say sometimes. [laughter] youre idea of giving them the business and my idea of giving them the business i wonder if theyre the same ideas. Im thinking no.
