There are actually quite a few ups and downs. Looking ahead today into tomorrow, cool, not bitterly cold, but were not as nice as we were yesterday. We get very mild again on friday into saturday. And saturday, the mild air comes with rain that looks likely for the entire area because conditions are so mild. It will just be rain. Were a little cooler on sunday. It looks like that cooldown will continue into monday, christmas day. Theres where the question lies, could we see rain or maybe a rain snow mix. Model is spread, but its looking likely that we could see rain over parts of the area. Breaking it down hour by hour, neighborhood by neighborhood, well start with the 40s and continue only in the 40s. Were not going to warm up the way we did yesterday. Instead, mid 40s into the afternoon. In fact, right now, were little warmer, in the upper 40s in philly. I think that may dip some once winds shift northwest and stick throughout the afternoon. Low 40s in the afternoon, about the same in the Lehigh Valley. How about for delaware . Those mid 40s going to stay the same, too. We could see a few numbers approaching 50 over delaware or even in south jersey, over the shore, numbers approaching 52. Note its a mix of clouds and sun. No rain in the forecast. Cool to mild indicates the harsh cold. Blue to green, more mild air. Check it out see you later, the coldest air out of here by the next two days. By saturday, mild.

Route 1 is always an alternate, as well. Again, were watching this, and route 13 can also get you by the scene, as well. A few alternates for you.
