Tracking wet weather to begin our day. Hi, krystal. Hi, rosemary. Yet again like yesterday morning a few sprinkles rolling across our area. The rotation of this moisture is from south to north and then its going to start to pull off to the east as we progress through the day. I think chances of rain are very limited and the best chances are going to kind of be against the jersey shore, some of the delaware beaches here, a lesser chance once we get to philadelphia and areas north and west. Still today kind of a dreary day yet again. Were talking cloudy with some fog this morning and those sprinkles in the forecast. Temperatures though markedly different than yesterday morning. Instead of 40s and 50z, most of us are starting in the 60s here. 60 in reading and allentown. Philadelphia at 60 and 65 atlantic city. So these temperatures starting in the 60s today are going to rise into the 70s because were starting that warming trend today. It will take us to the 80s for some by tomorrow. Lets
The entire region. This is the day after friday the 13th, right . So heres a look at radar and satellite. The cloud layer, satellite is hard to see but we do have clouds in place over pretty much the entire area. A lot of them low clouds too and even some patchy fog. Now, on top of that we have a few sprinkles that are kind of brushing up against parts of the jersey shore and just an isolated shower that may develop over parts of the delaware beaches here. And that chance is going to remain through today, particularly the first half of the day. But all this moisture itself is kind of wrapping out this way and its going to start pushing out east which means its pulling away from us. Still, well keep with the clouds today for more of a gray day than a sunny day. Tomorrow, the sunshine is a better chance of really breaking through. How about temperatures . They are warmer than yesterday at this same time. Instead of 40s and 50s weve got 50s and 60s. So 59 in pottstown but a lot of us in t
