Most of us will not break out of the 60s tomorrow and obviously a cloudy start. During the afternoon in particular theres also a possibility now that we get a couple of light showers popping through. This is the 3 oclock view but id allow for this at any time in the afternoon south of philadelphia and it looks like that stays south right into the early evening. Might be a little bit more sunshine and perhaps a little bit warmer number up north in the northern suburbs than down in philadelphia and points south. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, breezy and cooler, getting up to 72 today. A nice change from that warmer more humid day yesterday. And then tomorrow cloudy and cooler. Were going for a67 degrees, the farther north you go the better chance you have of seeing some sunny breaks. The farther south its probably all clouds and we have those showers.

On monday 82 degrees, warmer. There is the chance of a spotty thunderstorm on memorial day. Probably a little warmer down the shore up to the mid 70s.
