That 56degree temperature that has to be higher than the High Temperature that we usually experience. It is. Todays average high is either 45 or 46. Its right around there. So, yeah, already well above average and this afternoon it looks like a new record, another record in philadelphia and probably and probably a records across most of the region honestly. All right, theres sky6 and you can see theres a little bit of fog across the region so we have to be careful of that out there. Its not as bad in philadelphia today as it was yesterday. Yesterday at this time we actually had a hard time seeing the airport and the terminals in the distance. But in some of our outlying suburbs its every bit as thick as it was yesterday. I do want you to slow down if you happen to catch that. Temperature in philadelphia is very mild. 53 degrees at the airport, dewpoint the same which indicates that we are rather moist in the atmosphere and fog definitely a possibility. Winds are light at 6 miles per hour. And your air pressure well over 30. Temperatures currently across the region 41 degrees in allentown, 58 in reading, 53 in philadelphia, 50 in wilmington, 60 in trenton, 57 in millville and 43 in cape may. Satellite shows you that there is some cloud cover out there. Some of this is the low variety and the fog but there is also some upper level cloud cover and as we go through the day theres going to be a bit of that streaming through. Probably wont be as bright as it was yesterday overall but were going to see sun mixing with clouds today and the big story once again of course will be those temperatures soaring. 59 degrees by 8 oclock. By 10 oclock, 62. By noon, 69. And a high today of 75 degrees. That will set a new record. Yesterday we got up to 73. That was also a record high and i think a lot of records are going to fall across the region today just the way they did yesterday much how about 6 oclock still at 70 degrees. High temperatures across the region, well, here they come and everything that you see with an asterisk next to it sam forecast high that would be a new record. Its like everywhere. Trenton 72, allentown 72, reading 73, wilmington 74, 75 in philadelphia, millville 74. Actually is not a record arent thats the exception. 63 in dover. Down the shore in cape may 60 but if you go inland from the coast a lot of records including the the Atlantic City airport. Future tracker6 shows you that during the day theres the possibility of a little sprinkle or shower popping up up north but i think the best chance is later in the evening and then you see some of that later tonight does have the chance of making it all the way down to philadelphia and the shore. Then tomorrow a big change. Frontal boundary is down to the south. 49 is the high and well probably have rain at times. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, todays high 75 degrees. More record warmth on the way. A late day or especially nighttime shower possible and then tomorrow cooler and damp with some spotty light rain at times and a high of 49 degrees. That temperature probably gradually easing downward a bit during the day. Friday cloudy with periods of rain and a high of just 46. We bounce up again for the weekend. 59, milder on saturday. A bit cloudy and spotty rain especially in the afternoon. In fact the afternoon we could get a little steadier rain filling in and it looks like some of that spills into sunday especially in the morning. I think in the afternoon we have a chance of drying out on sunday with a high of 61. 50s early next week. Well look out for that. Thank you david.
