Every now and then you might get a slightly steadier cell. I have a little bit of yellow pushing into Delaware County right in the middle but most of this is pretty light rain and we are expecting it to all be off the coast probably before the end past morning rush hour. As we take a look outside, we have cloudy skies over the Commodore Barry bridge this morning. And a little bit of rain left over from all of that stuff that we had falling over the last 24 hours. But it wont be around for long your temperature currently is very mild this morning. 61 degrees right now.

Winds southsouthwest at 15 Miles Per Hour so unlike the last several mornings it is a little bit windier as you step outside. The rain on future tracker doesnt look like its all that much between now and 7 oclock and by 6 30 or 7 oclock most of it is off the coast and you might see some clearing in the northern and western suburbs. As for the rest of us it looks like the clouds are off the coast by about 10 oclock and of course that are philadelphia sooner than that so we are expecting the return of a lot of sunshine but it just doesnt look like it right now with those clouds and sprinkles and showers still left over. Temperatures will treat us well today. 52 degrees by 8 oclock, 54 by 10 oclock and it looks like we get area high around 3 oclock of 63 and Still Holding onto the upper 50s by 6 oclock. A nice day to get stuff done if thats what youve got in mind. 60 degrees in allentown, 61 is your high in reading, 63 in philadelphia. I think awful these hit around 3 oclock or so.

There is a batch of colder air coming in pretty quickly for friday and in fact its so cold that as some precipitation comes in along with the next frontal boundary, it might start out as rain in the predawn hours but we actually think theres a chance as cold air settles in that we change topher to snow. The model doesnt show a whole lot of precipitation but by 7 30 in the morning on friday it only has rain right now but we still feel that the temperatures could be cooling down enough where we wind up changing over to some snow showers and some of those might even pop up later in the day as well. Most of these are not going to have a great impact on the roads, just wet roads for the most part but there could be a burst of heavy enough snow where your visibility goes down of course the grassy accumulation is possibility your exclusive accuweather 7day mostly sunny and dandy 63. Tomorrow mostly sunny and breezy 63 degrees once again. Friday we cool down to 42 and there is that chance of a rain or even a snow shower as we go through the day. Most of it probably centered in the morning but i got to allow for something to pop up here and there at any time. Then through the weekend we really get cold. Partly sunny on saturday, a low all the way down or a high i should say all the way down to 33 degrees at just 35 on sunday. On sunday morning were still watching that southern storm that might clip us with just a little bit of light snow, some models still have it so far south we see nothing. Monday 40.
