Everyone outside and happy because the weather has been fantastic. Lets take it over to adam joseph see what we have in store for the weekend. Hi there. Pretty much exactly what were feeling today will continue saturday into sunday but those temperatures will get even warmer each day. As we look live on sky6 from cape may this looks like a beautiful shot. It is but if youre at the shore the temperatures are a whole lot cooler, very typical in the spring to see a big drop in temperature as you head to the shore. With that wind coming in off the water, the atlantic, which is only about 50 degrees, its 52 cape may 52 in beach haven. As far inland as millville 57, dover 58 but then you head to the north and west away from that easterly wind, 63 trenton, 64 philadelphia, allentown, reading and lancaster right now sitting at 60 degrees. High pressure remains in control and as you can see, nothing in the way of cloud cover way up to the north and off to our east where a storm is kind of stuck over the open waters of the atlantic and it is not moving in our direction. So, for the phillies in town we got a new competitor, washington is in town, its mostly clear, 7 05 your first pitch at 61 degrees with a light southeasterly wind. The ninth inning your temperature dropping to around 53 so definitely need to bring a light jacket to the bank. As we look at numbers tonight, not as chilly as the last few into the but there could be patchy frost special in the interior sections of southern new jersey. 33 toms river. As we look at future tracker temperatures tomorrow afternoon 65, philadelphia 63, millville 64 and allentown so a very pleasant day and by sunday afternoon temperatures going into the lower 70s but much cooler at the shore, only in the 50s and something we have to think about now that we have that sun angle a little bit higher the temps in the afternoon ge
