was the coolest day of the week as expected. and now as expected we're going to be seeing a significant warm-up over the weekend. and that's going to lead us to beautiful weather for the sunday race the blood street run. great conditions for that. and 80s next week. 80 degrees plus, multiple days some people might think it's too warm for this time of the year. not yet they're not thinking that. but you might be thinking that by the middle of next week. they've got cloudy skies across a good bit of the area. 61 degrees, the wind continues to be out of the east. but it's dying down it's only 59 in redding, that is as warm as it's been all day there. 59 in mt. holly and low 60s in other parts of the area. but it's cooler sight right at the shore. coming off the cool ocean. it's 52 in beach haven, 49 in avalon and 48 in lewis, delaware. that is cold for may 1st in the afternoon. and you see that onshore wind. but it's already dying down inland. just a few miles an hour. and so that is going to be the trend over the weekend. much less wind than what we've been seeing lately. by 8:00 a.m. practically no winds at all. and not much all the way through the race. temperatures getting into the mid-60s with a lot of sunshine and fairly low humidity. now, a lot of clouds around, but very little in the way of rain. we had showers earlier in burkes county. and that's about it. the main rain still south of delaware with that nor'easter developing and staying down well south of us. well, the east wind continues for a while, but it really is going to diminish as we go through the night tonight and by tomorrow morning we have a little bit of a northwest wind. so that's the end of that stuff. so we got a chance to warm up. plus, we've got more sunshine. so 70 degrees won't be so difficult. during the day. and as a matter of fact, this particular computer model has us getting above 70 degrees with one or two little showers popping up perhaps, during the afternoon, most of us not get rained on. and then on sunday here we are 9:00 a.m., hardly a cloud in the sky. and so that is looking pretty nice. but look at those temperatures getting into the upper 70s on sunday afternoon. tonight, partly cloudy 48 for the low in philadelphia, 43 north and west. tomorrow, mix of sun and clouds more sunshine than today. high temperatures in the low 70s. that's significantly warmer than today. and 7-day forecast, warmer than that on sunday with all that sunshine and, again, light winds the whole weekend. and then it gets summer-like. 82 degrees on monday, 80 with some thunderstorms possible tuesday and into wednesday. and then it rebounds back to 80 at the end of the week. many of us have desk jobs and because of the phone and the computer we spend hours every day
