Tonight, hi, cecily. Hi brian, shirleen, this is a 50 50 weekend the nicer half will be the second half. Were starting off wet. Stormtracker 6 double scan says we have areas of rain most of the rain on the light side and we have pockets of heavy rain in fact burlington county, Mercer County near browns mills and you can see the one area over the new jersey turnpike moving up to the north and east. Just the east of trenton and we will be seeing some rounds of rain as we head to the overnight hours. The good news is, temperatures across the board are above freezing. Philadelphia, 42.
