though. the cool air doesn't get here until this weekend. here's a look at future temperatures. the warmest air stays to our south. by friday, we're still looking at a pretty mild nice day into the week. going into the weekend, the cool air starts to move in. saturday night into sunday morning, some areas will be in the 30s. that will mainly be the higher elevations like the poconos but we do have 40 degree temperatures in the forecast. for tonight, though, evening showers, patchy fog possibly forming late tonight. 60 for the low in philadelphia. 56 degrees areas north and west. tomorrow, early clouds and fog developing. cooler temperatures tomorrow but it's not the kind of cool air we're talking about. 71 to 74 degrees for the high temperature. as we go into thursday, 71 looking
