North of philadelphia were looking at clouds but the rain should not be getting there and then we do begin to break off the clouds by tuesday evening. And wednesday actually looking pretty good. So, tomorrow 61 degrees, about 10 degrees cooler than today, plenty of clouds, a shower in spots. Mainly south of philadelphia. Wednesday this High Pressure kind of flexes its muscles. That will bring the temperature back into the 70s. 73 degrees with some sunny breaks and during the day on thursday its looking pretty good before there entire moves in and brings us a wet end to the work week.
