Well, were going to stay cool as we end out the week a lot like today as we go into your friday. If you needed a light jacket today, you will need one as we end out the week tomorrow. Still in the 60s, but then we go into the weekend and i think youll need a thicker jacket, especially if you will be out past sunset and before sunrise, especially. It is going to get cold, were talking about our first frost and freeze of the season, so yes, we do expect 30degree temperatures, pretty widespread. Right now, though, nice conditions, mostly clear skies in philadelphia, temperature now 65 degrees. So it is still cool at this hour, and tomorrow will be much like this, except maybe a few more clouds, maybe an isolated shower, but nothing major in the way of rain. Still in the low 60s north and west of philadelphia, mid to low 60s south jersey and delaware, so pretty pleasant evening, too. Until we get to the weekend. Youre really going to need to bundle up. Ill show you that in just a second. Right now were going to stay dry as we end out today and the rain back off to the west is part of the cold front. Thats going to be moving through as we go into tomorrow, so it is heading in this direction. Thats why well see more in the way of cloud cover tomorrow, thats why we have a slight chance of a couple stray showers. This cold front will be swinging through, but when it leaves over the weekend, thats when the cool air moves in. Take a look at future precip and temperatures here, mid 60s now, dropping into the 40s for some of the area overnight. Tomorrow going to be mostly in the 60s, but there you see the slight chance of a stray shower by the afternoon hours. Once that clears out, look what happens for saturday. Saturday afternoon, only about the mid 50s for most of the area. Thats going to be a daytime high temperature, so about 10 degrees colder than today. As we go into your weekend, then look what happens overnight into sunday morning. This is when the cold really starts to set in, so i think well be seeing freezing temperatures or below freezing temperatures through the Lehigh Valley, possibly some of our suburbs in new jersey and well be in the 30s all the way through dover, but at the shore its not going to be in the 30s there. We expect 40s, maybe around 50 degrees. Then we go into sunday afternoon, high temperatures only around 50 degrees, maybe even the low 50s. Then you see a few areas of possible rain showers, so this is something we will be watching over the weekend. We could see a little disturbance trying to move by, but either way its going to be cold enough farther north for snow showers, thats how cold the air mass is going to be. Locally, though, we expect the first frost of the season with the temperatures, as well. For tonight were not going to be that cold just yet. 43 for the low in allentown and reading. 50 for philadelphia, 49 wilmington, 50 Atlantic City, 53 degrees in wildwood, and tomorrow thats when well see more in the way of cloud cover, slight chance of a shower, but still in the 60s for part of the area. Then for the weekend high temperatures in the 50s. Its not going to be freezing saturday morning. Well be in the 40s, but by saturday afternoon, 57 degrees, sunday afternoon about the mid 50s, morning lows in the 30s. Monday morning same thing, lows in the 30s with sub freezing temperatures north and west. So bundle the kids up monday morning, even tuesday morning, and it is going to be chilly for the eagles game monday night, but we finally warm up again as we go into wednesday. Good advice, sheena.
