Its going to stay this way through tonight. Look at the radar, though, most of the area really on the dry side other than trenton moving out, and as we go into the next couple days here, were going to see more approaching, so the fist half of the weekend dry, but look at the wet weather off to the west.

Dover 61 degrees, and 62 in wilmington. Thats the dry day of the weekend. Then we go into sunday. The blue cross broad street run forecast, 8 00 in the morning, rain likely. 49 degrees.

Its going to be continue yous as we go through the morning hours. By noon sunday, we could still be seeing heavy rain around, but i think well still see consistent rainfall by then, so sunday is beginning to be a rainy day. A look at the exclusive tenday forecast.
