First alert neighborhood weather on this Holiday Weekend. Good morning, george. Today is going to be a gorgeous day in the forecast. Lots to talk about because we have some weather changes on the approach. So kind of a mixed bag. Now, if you look just to the east of our area we can see that frontal boundary continuing to work its way offshore, a little active moving across parts of the carolinas but notice not much going on locally. However, you will notice a kick up of wind speed, northwesterly between 15 and 25 miles an hour, technically considered a breezy day. Further out west we do have a High Pressure system affecting the four corners. This will pretty much stay put here. We have a High Pressure system working across the ohio valley, a low pressure system that will develop across the tennessee valley. This will be one of the weather makers. Also a frontal boundary that will continue to stall out at least through tuesday. We do have clouds developing later today into tomorrow with the potential for some showers later on sunday and its likely that we could see some rain showers for Independence Day and thats simply because it looks like a low pressure system will continue to work its way right over the area. We do have some more information on social media and do not forget to look at the bottom of your screen for your local neighborhood forecast. Back to you, george. And the wawa welcome america festival of course continues today in philadelphia with activities for families, a concert and another round of fireworks.
