You can see the clouds above and a couple of rain drops on the camera lens occasionally. The rain starting to thin out a little bit up around allentown and eventually it will start to shift down and clear out in these areas or at least dry out. I think were still in for a cloudy day.

Cloudy and damp with the bulk of our rain in and around philadelphia probably tapering off somewhere between noon and 3 00. By 6 00, 48 degrees.

If youre in south jersey youre probably dealing with rain drops longer up north in allentown. Could start drying out into Early Morning maybe wait until late in the afternoon.

Cloudy and damp with rain gradually pushing down out of the northern suburbs and ended down the shore later on this afternoon and tonight. Increasing clouds on monday 47 the high and monday night there could be rain arriving.

How do you get ready for we visit one local fan who puts her face first. We go live right now, david murphy in for chris sowers whos tracking the wet weather as we take the live look at the Benjamin Franklin bridge. Its wet and gray and gloomy all day. Action news in minneapolis coverage of eagles in the super bowl. Plenty of hard workers in front and behind the cameras. Photo journalists made the 17hour drive in the action news van. Along the way they had fun and shared these videos. Dan got some truckers to honk in support of the eagles. Welcome to minnesota. 6abc has arrived in minnesota and im telling you what, youve better be ready because the philly fans are going to bring it. Fly eagles fly thats photo journalist mike at the state line. He issued the warning here comes the eagles. Seeing a little bit of their personality. We get to work with them. Storm tracker 6 double scan is going to show you we are a little bit wet and obviously its still cloudy along the Delaware River and the water front just off penns landing and it looks like a barge and a tugboat had to stop in the river this morning and a little bit foggy. Storm stacker 6 shows you how we do have rain, it extends. Every now and then you see a little yellow popping up an indication that there is a steadier pocket of rain every now and then. The overhead view shows in allentown and reading its mostly the lighter nuisance rain and you get into these darker shades of yellow and dark green. This will recede to the south and ill show you that in a second, but its going to be a slow departure for that rain today. 50 degrees right now with calm winds so definitely mild enough to support the rain and not any icing and that goes for the northern suburbs too. 46 in reading, 50 in wilmington. Between now and noon there is a chance that that rain backs up a bit but we do expect it to shift to the south. It will be dry up here the latest model run has a couple of lingering lighter showers in philadelphia, wilmington and trenton by 3 00. After that we continue to see it by 6 00. Most of that rain in south jersey and delaware and eventually by wild pood by about midnight tonight. A slow progression we do expect that drying to increase from north to south as we go through the afternoon and evening. 50 is your high today, 49 in wilmington, 50 on the boardwalk in ac and about 48 in cape may. Heres how the numbers are going to go in philadelphia. Well just be sitting on the high of 51 more or less straight through about 4 00 and dipping down into the mid 40s combii 8 00 and 10 00 tonight, an overnight low of 38 degrees. Tomorrow were watching a coastal low Pressure Center, it looks like its going to be far enough off the coast not to be a big deal. It might start out as rain monday night but eventually change over to snow. Its a minor accumulation the problem is it may come down through the morning commute. So perhaps slippery travel for Tuesday Mornings commute. Thats one to keep your eyes on. And if youre traveling out to minnesota, as our photographers just did, 20 degrees is your high today on sunday. Pretty good travel weather all week except for tuesday. That would be the die i would avoid out there in minnesota as theyre looking at snow and bring all of your layers for thursday and friday highs both of those days in the Single Digits but we are looking at improvement for super bowl sunday in minneapolis for the tailgate about 21 degrees is your high in the afternoon heading into the game. Cloudy skies, some flurries and a lot better once you get inside that stadium. 51 today, cloudy and damp with rain gradually receding down through south jersey and off the coast later today and tonight. Innees o. Crease increasing clouds on monday, rain will change over to snow by Tuesday Morning in most neighborhoods and maybe a little slick Tuesday Morning. 36 on wednesday, 50 degrees on thursday with another batch of rain arriving at night and that rain on friday will probably change over or at least mix with a little bit of snow during the day on friday. So two accuweather alerts its the Tuesday Morning commute and i would think the friday evening commute that would be the most affected. Sunny and cold on saturday, getting up closer to 40 for a high on sunday. Eagles fans have been showing us their spirit in all kinds of ways and you really cant beat this.
