Yours button on the right. American always right. More right happened men than women . Im trying to think how i put my jacket on. I dont know. It turns out theres no certain answer but there are a couple of theories. One involves the renaissance and victorian eras women were dressed by servants. Button zone on the left side may have made dressing easier since servants would face their employers. Hmm now days none us dressed by anybody but ourselves. Isnt another story focuses on dressing for battle. Military men often drew their guns with their right hasnt side its believed buttons on the right made it easier to adjust with their free left arm.

We are going to stay dry. Book ends by rain but all dry through the Holiday Weekend so that is the nice element to the forecast. But over the last couple of hours, temperatures have been kind of nuts all thanks to sea breeze. Well talk about that plus a rain chance for tomorrow. Quick hit of rain and thunderstorm activity cold front goes through the Delaware Valley but that will clear out just in time for the easter weekend. We stay dry both saturday and Easter Sunday and rain returns on monday. Very convenient timing. We like that. Temperatures High Temperatures today a big gradient across the area. Check this out. Loving live in delaware. 74 degrees the High Temperature in dover but parts of new jersey topped at 57 in trenton. And thats because of the wind direction. Winds right now in center city have just shifted back out of the south. Were now at 64 degrees. Still looking pretty quiet right now getting a live view but our temperature change over the last hour check this out. Weve been up from 50 degrees to 64 degrees. 14 degrees in one hour. We had that easterly wind driving in that cooler air. Might have felt chilly this evening and temperatures big impact in places like trenton and allentown because of that cooler ocean air. Building westbound even into berks county but now winds have shifted back out of the south and that will continue as we look towards the Lehigh Valley up into the poconos so your temperatures will actually be warming a bit as we head into the next couple of hours. So weve already hit our overnight low of 50 degrees. That was just an hour ago. Showers develop breezy conditions with south winds up around 10 to 20 miles an hour and for the first half of our friday dealing with showers an few imbedded thunderstorms pretty well. Quick clearing on the back side 68 degrees so still mild and a little bit breezy and storm scan3 showing us the cloud deck really starting to increase especially north and west of the city. Showers moving into parts of western pennsylvania with very poe 10 weather system. The Winter Weather in association with this area of low pressure well off to our north. But showers imbedded thunderstorms continue to race their way eastbound and those will arrive for us late tonight and through the first half of the day tomorrow. So looking for swath of shower activity with some imbedded thunderstorms. Could get a quick quarter, half an inch maybe locally higher amounts but much of this rain clears a majority of the area by 2 00 oclock tomorrow afternoon. So future weather showing us, oh, the run because its late. Run still coming in. We dont have data but trust me it will be coming as we head into our morning commute. Nine, 10, 11 00 oclock in the morning. And then as we deal with early afternoon hours, were going to see that rain kind of moving towards the shore. So then we clear out by Easter Sunday. 64 degrees. Sunshine increasing clouds. Above average. Our average would have have us in the middle 50s right now even saturday even though we cool on the back side of the cold front, 59 degrees is still above average.
