this entire weekends. if you do them tomorrow, sunny bright, fairly mild despite it's a lot cooler than today. a little cloudy on sunday morning but again it stays dry. >> great deal. >> as we take a look at double scan live radar we had some showers and a couple quick downpours that passed through part of the area with a cold front throughout the day today but that sun is returning west of philadelphia and we're still hanging onto some showers and again a few downpours north of oceanville right along the garden state parkway as you head from atlantic county, southern parts of burlington county, then into ocean county and they'll scrape across long beach island and clip brigantine here in the next 15 or so minutes and once this pushes off the coast, we're good to go for the weekend precipitation-wise. it's still mild. 71 philadelphia, 70's trenton, 67 millville, near 70 at the atlantic city airport but as we look to the west, it's 63 in lancaster, 64 in reading. winds are now starting to push out of that northwesterly direction. you can see them moving here bringing in cooler air while we're still dealing with a southwesterly wind in southern parts of new jersey where the warm air is lingering but as we look at satellite and radar, there's a front off the coast. it will remain off the coast for this weekend. again, clouds lag all the way west, at least some cloud cover, high cloud cover, that sun can still penetrate through but there's a break in the midwest and that's going to be pushing in here with high pressure for the beginning of the week. so, for tonight, the skies clear, turns cooler, 34 in the suburbs to 42 degrees for center city and then high pressure wedges itself in northern new england tomorrow. a very bright start to the weekend but cooler at 60 degrees with that wind coming in out of the northeast but even though it's not 70 plus degrees like today, that's still above average for this time of year. then as the high fades we're going to see a lot of clouds filter in off the ocean especially easter sunday morning and then breaking sunshine in the afternoon as we try to break up some of that cloud cover but it stays mild at 62 with low pressure to the south, low pressure to the west behavior themselves and not pushing in here until monday so your easter weekend forecast and specifically for easter sunday, sunrise services, very cloudy a-slight chill in the air at 41. then a little brighter by noon and then a mix of sun and clouds in the afternoon as temperatures go from the 50's back into the lower 60's in the afternoon. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast 60's both days saturday and sunday, brighter saturday compared to easter sunday but still not bad. on monday, though, we're still around 62, 63 degrees. but as we look at future tracker in the morning some heavy rain begins to push in with low pressure so it's a wet start to the new work week and then breezy, cooler with some sunshine on tuesday, 56. and as we get into wednesday, sunny, pleasant, 60 degrees. again, still a little above norm and then we jump into the 70's for one day on tuesday before more showers arrive at the end of next week with a temperature of 68 degrees. so, it is dry through the upcoming weekend. just a little cloud cover after your early sunday morning. >> sounds good. >> we'll take it. >> adam thank you.
