In some spots. You can see some gray blobs showing up on the map here or there.

As we take a look at dewpoints it is still a little bit on the sticky side in Southern Areas where you see these 70s, mid 60s not too bad with the humidity and we do expect these numbers to drop as we move through the day.

First up weather and traffic. Dave murphy and matt pelman. Good morning. Great morning for a launch as we have light winds. Theres a bit of cloud cover around again this morning. Take a look at satellite. Its all because of there area of low pressure continuing to rotate down to our south. Its moving away a little bit but not fast enough to take the clouds with it so were looking at clouds and sun. More clouds to the south today and more sun to the north. We also have visibility an issue for the second straight morning and occasionally youre going to run into some patchy fog. Most of our reporting stations dont have very bad numbers but every now and then you see the model putting in that gray and areas to the east of philadelphia in particular could get some dense fog. 69 degrees in philadelphia currently. 66 in wilmington, 62 in allentown, 63 in reading not far from where karen rogers is setting up that balloon with our team. 64 in trenton and 71 currently in cape may.

What . The nuns, they stick it up their sleeve
Is still stubbornly taking hold and today well feature some sun mixing with clouds, more sun to the north, more clouds to the south kind of like what we saw yesterday because of that system down south. Also, once again we are seeing Little Pockets of fog developing. Visibilities officially in most of our airports arent that bad. Below a mile in lancaster. When you enter these pockets of patchy fog youll want to slow down as it could reduce visibility temporarily. 69 degrees in philadelphia currently, 66 in wilmington, 64 in trenton. 72 in cape may and out in reading calm winds and 63.
