A few mild days and old man winter is coming back by the weekend and Storm Tracker double scan the mild air is coming with some showers, we have a batch of some generally light rain stretching from dowlestown and philadelphia and millville is the steadyist off the coast and through the mouth of the delaware bay and this is an renegade batch of showers ahead of a cold front that will move through early tomorrow and ahead of the front the winds are out of the south and bringing us pretty mild air for this time of night dover 60 and philadelphia 58 down from the high of 67 which is 17 degrees above normal. Allentown the cool spot 48 degrees and reading currently 57 so Satellite Six and action radar showing the showers moving through right now and here is the line of some gusty downpours ahead of a cold front, that front will be slicing through tomorrow morning before dawn and future tracker showing the best chance of seeing heavy downpours along i95 corridor would be about 5 00. Notice the poconos cold enough there it could actually get a touch of snow but this system is moving really quickly. By 7 30 just left over clouds, a few lingering showers and sunshine is back in full force by mid to late morning so most of the day will be pretty nice, 63 degrees although the winds will be picking up by late in the afternoon win gusts up to about 35 miles per hour.

I really think this is a situation that is a lot about location. Extremes of new jersey and central delaware this is mainly rain and you really have to get close to philadelphia areas to the north to get the snow but this will be fighting very warm ground so i think the friday morning commute most of the roads will be wet but there could be some grassy accumulation and visibility could be a factor. So exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast morning clouds give to sunshine and windy and 63, thursday 61, friday that morning wet snow and rain 41 degrees the high and that arctic boundary opens the door for very cold air for march standards to roll in. Saturday only 33 degrees. Dont forget we lose an hour as we turn those clocks ahead and daylight savings time is on sunday and looks like the storm should miss us to the south and maybe toss a few snow showers and 35 the high, monday its chilly 43 and tuesday cloudy and milder with a high of 51 degrees and a chance of some rain so kind of an active week, friday morning i think the bigger issue when the Road Conditions and the visibility and its more about the timing than the amount.
