I like those meters in philadelphia. It does make life a little bit easier you dont have to go running into the street looking for quarters but lets talk about the weather. Lots of changes this week. Tomorrow will be really different. Tonight will be different. Even today is cooler than yesterday but youre right tomorrow morning a lot chillier than what youve had recently. Even as i headed out onto the lawn and headed over to the car this morning it was noticeably cooler than it was yesterday. That wouldnt be too hard to beat since we were in the low 70s. Were dry across the region. Taking a look outside we have sky6, the Commodore Barry bridge, theres a few high clouds around but in general were looking with sunshine mixing with clouds this morning and thats probably the way its going to stay. Yesterday was the seventh straight day we got into the 70s in philadelphia. Temperatures over that period over 9 degrees above average. 75 was the high. And of course we had those strong wind gusts which brought some trees and wires down. All of this, everything youre seeing here, excuse me, is in the Rearview Mirror today. As we take a look at temperatures right now, not too bad. 58 degrees, some suburbs in the mid to low 50s.

Well hit that 67degree high around 3 oclock this afternoon and you can see how we dip pretty quickly by 6 oclock. High temperatures across the region, everybody cooler than yesterday. We all got up into the low 70s or mid 70s yesterday depending on where you were and 66 today is all youll see in trenton. 65 degrees in allentown. 64 in reading. Everybody in the 60s today. 67 in philadelphia, millville and on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. 65 in wilmington and 64 in cape may. Tomorrow even cooler. Well start out in the 40s across the region. Some outlying suburbs could even near the upper 30s as you first start out at dawn and then in the afternoon with an area of low pressure pulling past us, wraparound winds from that will keep us breezy, somewhat cloudy, too, and cooler with a high tomorrow of just 60. Might even be a little sprinkle or some drizzle at times coming from the clouds but generally speaking the story will be that cooler weather. Thats the big headline. 67 degrees clouds and sun a bit cooler today. Breezy and still cool tomorrow with a high of 60. Climbing out of the 40s in most neighborhoods in the morning. And then on friday, well almost certainly see some areas down into the 30s, philadelphia dipping to about 44 on friday morning at dawn. But then sunny and cool in the afternoon and pleasant, 63 degrees. For the weekend saturdays really the pick of the weekend. 71 degrees, nice and warm, sun, a few patchy clouds but you can see the change for sunday. Clouds arrive overnight.
