It is a bright, bright Sunny Afternoon on this last friday here in philadelphia. It will be a wonderfully sunny rest of the day, as well, and actually outside on the sky deck while it was chill think morning it is not too bad as you get ready to move in the afternoon hours, lunchtime looking comfortable for us. As we peak on storm scan three you can see High Pressure is in control. That is why we are so clear, with all of that sunshine out there. A few high cloud through Early Morning hours and in areas around lehigh valley, areas up toward poconos woke up to a few cloud but overall, it has been a sun filled start to the day, and temperatures for the most part are on the warmer side, now compared to where they were early this morning, we are seeing 50s in southern new jersey, millville, 50 in Atlantic City and 51. Still clinging to 40s from philly backup toward allentown where we are without at 48. Fortytwo in mount pocono. While you still need a jacket, it is not overly cold, for us while we did wake up in the 30 s again we are rapidly warming up. Winds were brisk and breezy at times, throughout the early part of the workweek but, right now we are looking at generally quiet conditions, pretty clear skies, and calm winds, but maybe five or 10 miles an hour at the most. We should not see anything more than that through the afternoon hours.

Twentyseven days until official start of the winter season when we have shortest day of the year and winter solstice. We have 31 shopping days until christmas. Plenty of time to get deals in for black friday and 38 days until we ring in 2018, can you believe it will be 2018 in just 38 days. While were at it we will be dealing with very nice conditions today, if you did get out early this morning to get those Early Morning black friday deals do you know just how chilly, it was. We were in the 30s. You needed winter coats. Waited, slept in and get those deals later this afternoon it will be warm but pretty seasonal out there, 52 degrees , lots of sunshine. You will need a light jacket definitely but will not neat that winder coat like earlier in the morning you needed hats , gloves, scarves earlier in the day but not what you need later this afternoon. Wanted to take you down to Rehoboth Beach i have a few folks out there on the beach and boardwalk as we go in the afternoon hours. They are getting in that sunshine, it is now cool, down on the water, probably only looking at temperatures maybe in the mid to high 40s, down in the Rehoboth Beach area, so if you do want to get dune the shore in new jersey or maybe where you celebrated thanksgiving yesterday or down shore points in delaware as well and you want to get outside enjoy fresh air, wonderful sunshine put that sweat shirt on because it will be on the cool side, maybe a slight breeze but not nearly like what we saw at times earlier in the week. Do a little bet this weekend. We have a cold front sweeping through for the most part on saturday that could give us a stray chance for a shower saturday night into sunday before High Pressure settles in and clears us out for weekend. Mild day tomorrow, temperatures object saturday afternoon could be pushing 60 degree mark. We are really warming up today , peeking tomorrow but then again on the back side of the front as we get into sunday gets cooler and more breezy to wrap up weekend. Those spotty showers on late saturday into saturday night, for the most part better chance will be north and west of the city and they will be very light and at this point especially on saturday, saturday night looks like it will stay all rain but early, early in the Morning Hours on sunday especially near poconos maybe a few snow flurries mixing in nothing to be overly concerned w not anything you need to be worried about. Holiday travel, of course, given you green light, sunshine, seasonal temperatures wont see any weather issues on the road today, tomorrow we will give you yellow light because we have late day showers and back to green light on sunday, sunshine, breeze bye now weather issues on the road, for the end of the weekend. Fiftytwo for the high today, tomorrow, as i said we are pushing 50degree mar. Fiftyseven for the high. Forbidder game on sunday we have chilly, breezy conditions , sunshine for us, 48 degrees our temperature on sunday. If you are heading down to the linc to tailgate you want to have jacket early in the day and through afternoon hours, kick off at 1 00. And then our steadily rising temperatures take over starting on monday, back to the lower 50s and then we could see temperatures up near 60degree by the middle of the next week.
