Break from those 90s this week, erika. Thats right, rosemary. So in fact, the High Temperature on wednesday was 91 degrees, 93 on thursday, and 93 on friday. So, yes, officially, the first heat wave of 2017, were just getting started. Im sure well have a few more before its all said and done, at least by the end of the summer. Right now, a live look outside. We are seeing some mid and upper level clouds. A sign that we do have some moisture in the atmosphere. No big deal, a few scattered showers moving through our area. Locally, our satellite and radar loop picking up on those clouds and those scattered showers. I just talked about the fact we may see a few showers moving into parts of berks county. The Lehigh Valley also seeing some showers moving through. A couple showers flirting around philadelphia, but nothing making it to the ground. Not right now, but i dont think were going to be totally clear for today. We have an area of low pressure way out to sea. Our High Pressure system,
16 for allentown, 18 for millville and atlantic city. A sign that we do have a cold front sweeping on down from the northwest towards the southeast. Of course, everything has to balance out, and thats why, folks, those winds start to kick up. A little extra science for you early this saturday morning. Current temperature, 65 degrees. And it looks like were going to pretty much stay in the 60s all day long. Notice that the icon i have, cloudy skies, right now at 9 00 a. M. And at noon, but i do think well see a couple of squeezed out showers moving across the area. Certainly not going to be a washout for today, but we have some moisture in the atmosphere. Philadelphia right now, in and around philadelphia, seeing plenty of 60s. Andorra at 63 degrees. Manayunk, 65. Society hill, 66 degrees. What about the Lehigh Valley . Lots of upper 50s and a few low 60s. Macungie also seeing mid50s. Bethlehem, 58 degrees. And easton, current temperature, 57 degrees. Rosemary, coming up in just a bit,
32mileperhour for you. 22 for wildwood and 24 for millville. So right now, the winds are a little bit of an issue, especially as the cold front sweeps on through. Behind that cold front, we have much chillier temperatures. Ill be timing out those chillier temperatures for you hour by hour, the next time we meet up. Rosemary, back to you. Well see you shortly.
