Gorgeous weather for thanksgiving. Yeah. Gorgeous weather for black friday. Yeah. I got a hunch im being honest. Kind of goes downhill this week. Not going to be horrible this weekend but temperatures start to dip and we see a couple showers both days. As we take a look at double scan live radar all is dry and quiet and it is still warm this evening and in fact as you take a look at sky6 live overlooking the center city skyline and right down broad street towards city hall and our Temple University camera, not seeing much in the way of a bounce in the camera so really no wind and overall pretty clear skies above with a few high clouds streaming in from the north and west. As we look at the high temperatures across the region today in Atlantic City we hit 68 degrees. We are 1 degree shy of the record which was 69. Millville 66 degrees today, wilmington 65 and it was also 65 in allentown and reading both theisk allentown we broke the record. For philadelphia we hit 66, way off that record which was 73 degrees set back in 1896. This morning 40 degrees, 4 degrees above that normal low and the record low 16 degrees with your sun setting close to 4 30. The numbers are still not bad as we look north and west. 56 in pottstown, 55 saint davids Kennett Square 52. Levittown 56 and as we head to the south many 50s but theyre mixed with a couple 40s like hammonton 47, woodbine 48 degrees the state of delaware in the low 50s and also in the upper 50s still along the shore. Here come a few clouds from the west. You can still see some clear skies to the south. Theres the frontal boundary with a few showers on the u. S. Canadian border and its really stretching its legs all the way down to the deep south into texas, bumps into some colder air in the central part of the u. S. Where it does mix to some sleet, freezing rain and a little bit of snowflake looks like a lot of moisture but its going to fall apart as it pushes to the east over the weekend. For tonight some clouds around, mild for november, 50 in center city when she should be close to flicks, 3 36, 37 fo. That the front can comes in tomorrow late in the afternoon but its still mild at 65 degrees, maybe a few peeks of sun early in the morning. Clouds take over, a couple showers throughout the afternoon and then that front will be pushed down to the south as we get into sunday. A morning shower, some clouds and then some breaks of sun especially north in the afternoon but as that front sinks to the south, temperatures are going to drop the second half of the weekend to around 54 degrees. If we time this with those showers here on future tracker in the afternoon you can see its very light. This is 3 oclock mainly north of philadelphia. Then they kind of spread out and push to the south saturday night into early sunday morning at 6 oclock. Some showers especially southern new jersey, delaware. Not much going on sunday north and west of philadelphia and sunday afternoon, if you take a look you can see how gray the clouds are north of philadelphia. Thats where we could see some breaks of sun sunday afternoon but you could see the brighter white clouds down to the south in the afternoon where theyre thicker but doesnt look much in the way of heavy rain both saturday and sunday just a few showers on either side of the day. As we look at the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast the best chance for a scattered shower or two is tomorrow afternoon at 65 and then very early on sunday morning and then maybe some pops of sun from north to south sunday afternoon but cooler at 54. It stays cool but is bright on monday as High Pressure is in control at 50 degrees and then that system lifts back to the north on tuesday with some periods of showers, again doesnt look overly heavy and they could linger into early wednesday morning, cloudy in the afternoon at 58. Then the sun is back in full force on thursday, seasonable 50 and still looking dry despite some clouds increasing late friday with a temperature of 50 degrees. So overall not that bad. Not too bad.
