Times on the cool side in the shade but overall a very, very nice start to our saturday. I highly suggest if you can if you are up, just step outside and see how nice it is. We are coming in at 61 degrees now. Maybe a little bit of the breeze at 12 miles an hour out of the west but overall a nice calm day. We had strong wind gusts not a factor for our saturday and our dew point is very, very low at 51. So that makes it feel, even better. We have a few high cloud but that is it for the morning. Maybe a chance for thicker cloud later this afternoon but overall looking g61 degrees here in philadelphia 54 wilmington. Back toward millville. Dover at 50.
