The the all important forecast for papal visit. Yes. Is everything cooperating. It will be cloudy a and cool but question is about the the rain and we are tracking a coastal low that will be moving toward us, throughout the weekend and bringing that chance for rain especially late sunday, we will have more on that, and, and, and, show you where that storm is. Skies are clear over philadelphia, and, and, next to a big blocking high. You can see rain in the deep south. That is our coastal low, and, it is spinning just over South Carolina the track this storm takes is very important, also very important how strong this system gets because if the high stays in place that could suppress this low from moving too far north but few computer models want to keep the storm north and bring that threat for rain in our area on sunday evening. Our live Neighborhood Network shows temperatures have dropped from daytime highs in the 80s back to the mid to 70s right now. New castle at 79. Millville at 75. Doylestown also at 79. But lets talk more about the weekend rain chance. First thing to note here is High Pressure to the north, storm to the south. We have two different pressure sips tells getting close together that creates a Pressure Gradient and that lead to gusty wind. Wind are coming from the north east all weekend, breezy conditions saturday but does stay dry. Sunday is the date that this rain will lift a little bit closer to our area. Now it remains to be seen, that rain could stay to the south of us but you have to plan for it especially with such a big event and so many people outdoors on sunday afternoon. That storm then lifts out of here monday. Take a lot at wind, tomorrow afternoon. And wind gusts to 20 miles an hour. 17mile an hour gusts tomorrow afternoon in philadelphia they will get stronger on saturday, saturday afternoon we will see wind gusts near 30 miles an hour down the shore and 20 miles an hour here in philadelphia. They are out of the north east. That is a cool marine flow bringing cloud in as well. I want to show you two main models. We will see a tricky forecast, there is no consensus. Gfs, north american model through machine morning has an inch and a quarter of rain here, european model though. 3 of an inch. Keeps it all to the south. This is our worst case scenario, this is that gfs mod that he will brings an inch of rain. Let me tell guy news by sunday at 7 00 only only. 2. Even if it does rain it is late sun take tonight but there could be rain between 1 00 and 7 00 p. M. And then those amount increase throughout overnight hours. That is worst case scenario. Best case scenario, south and north of us together, that is still a possibility. That is, something we have to plan for sunday afternoon. Temperatures in the lower 70s throughout the weekend. Tonight game day forecast, thursday night football, redskins at new york giants, nice night, 69 degrees, for kick off here in philadelphia we have temperatures dropping down to 60 overnight and few cloud, comfortable, your friday looks good, but cloud increase, that breeze picks up, and then cloudy, cool and breezy throughout the weekend but early next week we are right back to great weather hiding 80 by tuesday.
