Today we made up to 43 degrees in philadelphia. Tomorrow only 32. Millville 32 and some of our north and west suburbs and even trenton likely will stay in the 20s. It wont be windy. We wont have a wind chill factor to deal with but it certainly is going to be cold and then future tracker showing rainfall amounts on sunday, the heavier rain will be along the coast where they could get up to about an inch and a half of rain, philadelphia probably about threequarters of an inch and rainfall totals really drop off in the northwest suburbs generally less than a quarter inch but it looks like we will all be getting rain. That storm system is going to track very close to the coast. Right now philadelphia 39 degrees. Millville 35. Wilmington 37. But notice how that cold air is already starting to move in. Allentown, its 10 degrees colder than in philadelphia and mount pocono currently its 17 degrees and we still have that breeze so the switch factor feels like 16 in allentown and nine in the poconos and the winds will be with us through the evening hours and then theyll really begin to slack off as we head through the overnight hours.
