hoped for warmer temperatures and some sunshine today. >> bummer. >> i know. >> but it's coming. >> it is. this week it is going to be warmer, it is going to be sunshine from start to finish, promise you for the next two days. >> adam promises. >> and then on monday you can say, okay, yeah, you were right. as we take a look right now at double scan lie radar around the region a lot of clouds and still cool temperatures. some brightening in the skies in southern areas. not much in the way of showers at the present time. the action cam down towards ppl park, the commodore barry bridge along the delaware river, everyone kind of in that fog this morning and through much of the day as that cold dense air really held on. in fact, we call it cold air damning for the last three days cold air is a lot heavier than warm air so it kind of wedges itself across the mountains when you get that northeasterly wind across the appalachians and it takes a very strong warm front to blast through that cold air and you know what its spring. you would have thought that warm front would have a easy time through. didn't happen. 43 yesterday. today we the gain 12 degrees from yesterday at 55 but we're still nowhere near that normal of 62 degrees. now, in southern areas we're at 61 in millville, 65 in dover and if you were to go to sussex county if delaware it -- in delaware it is in the mid 70's in georgetown. to the north poconos coming in at 48 degrees. satellite and radar cold front is approaching and it's near state college right now but notice how the precipitation has basically evaporated off of the radar here and it's because it's bumping into that very stable air where the clouds and the chill have been in place today. so for tonight there could be a stray early shower or thundershower especially south of philadelphia and southern parts of delaware and maybe cape may county in new jersey. otherwise, we're clearing quickly overnight, 45 to 48 for the lows and then behind this front, there is a massive high pressure that's coming in and it is going to basically bring sunshine for everyone in the lower 48 with the exception towards florida where the front will lag but for us, 62 degrees. it will be very windy out of the northwest, 12 to 25 miles an hour tomorrow but with that sun it's going to feel pretty nice with normal temperatures and then we bounce above normal the second half of the weekend as the high pretty much settles right overhead. that means less wind, baby blue sky and temperatures at 68 degrees. so a winning forecast here from start to finish over the weekend. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, we get the phillies in town tomorrow. we also have the union at ppl park at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. the pick of the weekend definitely sunday because of the lack of wind and above normal temperatures and the sweet 70's are back on monday. 73 degrees. clouds will be building late on monday and it will bring a soaking rain here with another cold front on tuesday especially the first half of the day buts even behind that front, it doesn't cool off. we stay above normal of 70 degrees. wednesday, thursday with sun and clouds and by friday more clouds will thicken ahead of the next system with a few showers coming in in the afternoon of 67 degrees, so after tuesday wednesday thursday friday, clouds around here, couldn't time it better for saturday and sunday. >> for the weekend. >> enjoy it. >> thank you. >> mary kay letourneau a former teacher who spent nearly seven years behind bars for having sex with her
