Nineteen days throughout the month of february, 2018, have had at least a trace of rain or some kind of precipitation. There have interestingly been no days of just snow.

And the Philadelphia Flower Show kicks off this saturday at the pennsylvania Convention Center and runs through march 11. And jim, i have to tell you , ive already been thinking about spring. Ive been thinking about it since december. Well, it will be here. I mean, whats interesting, too, february has been incredibly above average. Handful of days where we were 20 plus degrees milder than what it should have been, so not quite spring, kate. I not quite spring, definitely not. But i feel like it has been a lot more tolerable, although so dear. I yes. Thats the thing. At least we havent had to break our backs shoveling. True. Looking on the breitbart side, katie. And on the breitbart side, we do eventually have some sunshine, i promise you, it may not look like it is trying to brighten up, but the sun doing its best to try to break through the cloud deck and brighten things up, partly because we have a system nearby, but take you on tour, start, yes, not the prettiest view, beautiful shot, but you dont have breitbart sunshine, certainly dont have beautiful blue skies like we want to see but there is a break in the cloud cover at least a little bit after break in that cloud cover. So, with time, that suns going to streak through here, see some nice rays. Rays come through, we brighten one time. If not at some point this mid afternoon, definitely tonight, and absolutely tomorrow. Lets switch it next to one of the live Neighborhood Network shot, it was to the totally fogged out, earlier this morning, out at the boardwalk plaza, have seen our fair share not just run but fog in this location in the last couple of days. But even here, you still got a lot of cloud cover. Whats up . Why do we still have the clouds if High Pressure is taking over . This, this guy right here, not the most potent system but responsible for what ended up bringing in the Severe Weather back toward the mississippi as we had reported on earlier. But it is just close enough, so that it is too close for comfort, keeping the clouds in place, for now, but yes, i mean, three hour loop. Seeing the tail end of this these clouds, very well defined, on the radar, on the satelite, more specifically, and we should end up clearing out nicely as we progress toward night fall. While you might not see ton of sun this afternoon, it is still trying to break through, High Pressure will settle in at least for short stretch, right through wednesday. Then we have another system that starts to move on in. Youll ends up with real nice weather thomas a result. This would be a real good excuse to get outside. If you are a fan of the sunshine getting to that point of the year where the sun starts to feel warmer to you when youre out in it as is opposed to being stuck in a building, make the most of it while do you have it, while wednesday should start off with sun, the clouds do build, and you have another system starting to move n we will be wrapping up the month of february yet again on and above average note. Speaking of, hire are the days that have lasted thus far, couple of days easily at least 20 degrees above average. And that puts us at this point as is 5. 9 degrees above average for the month as a whole. That is a high number when you are talking averages over the span after month, that is a big deal. So this could end up being at least way up there, for historically one of the warmest february if not the warmers weve ever experienced in philadelphia since records began, 50 degrees your current temperature meanwhile, little green around the region but still not a bad start to the afternoon, just not really breitbart just yet. The high hits 56 later on this afternoon, and it does remain mild for the standards, later on tonight down to 37, we should be little colder than that, to wrap up the month of february though we keep that warmth in place, about ten plus degrees or so above average right through wednesday, and heck even beyond that point we will keep it generally above average. But there is cents a new system that comes along as early as wednesday evening. There could be just a stray shower, i think you want the umbrella on stand by primarily for the second half of thursday and the majority of friday. Looks like we will be on the warm side of this, we stay above average. Certainly stay above freezing, probably no snow. But looks like we could get doused by some of the rain eventually moving through. Thank you. Well, sometimes life can throw awe curve ball. But how you react that makes the difference, here is meisha with todays love it. Meisha .
