We will get through entire day on thursday without any rain, it is overnight friday, and thursday into friday morning we have got to see the rain moving in just in time for morning rush. It shouldnt be a lot, quarter inch, half inch but it it does mean cooler temperatures for easter weekend. 35 degrees in philadelphia.
