[laughter] it looks pretty good at least into the early part of march. Lets take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan, thats also looking pretty good. No rain to hinder your morngcom. As we take a look outside we have sky6 looking north along the Atlantic City coast to some of our casinos down there and camera not bouncing all that much this morning because we dont have real strong winds, but at the same time it is colder this morning than it was yesterday. So, lets check it out. Your temperature in philadelphia is 34 degrees. Some of the suburbs including allentown and bethlehem and easton are a little bit below freezing, same thing over in reading. 30. 37 is your barometric pressure fairly high although clouds will be coming in and i think youll see that drop off a little bit. Winds out of the northeast at 7 Miles Per Hour and here come the clouds on satellite. Not a lot of rain associated with this. Theres a little shower way up in canada and we might see a little of that pop through in the overnight hours. Generally speaking today, though, is sun giving way to clouds and kind of a clouds and sun mix during the day. Overall well call it partly sunny, 35 degrees by 8 oclock, so starting out pretty chilly but then by 10 oclock, 40 and by noon, 46. The afternoon in particular does look okay. By 3 oclock well get a high of 53 which is not quite as mild as yesterday when we got to 58 but there wont be as much wind today so gathering clouds but not as windy and you keep your jacket handy this afternoon and you should be in pretty good shape. High temperatures across the region not much of a range. Up in allentown were getting to 50, low 50s in trenton and reading, about 52 in wilmington, 52 in millville and in cape may. So, everybody enjoying very similar numbers. Tomorrow were up into the 60s but after that, look out, weve got an area of low pressure well off to the west, High Pressure down here to the east. Cold front thats going to take forever to get to us. It will be several days before it finally crosses the region and ahead of it were going to be able to zoom those temperatures with an increased southwesterly flow and so by thursday and friday it looks like High Temperatures in the 70s. Lots of records may fall. Well be close to it both thursday and friday with a forecast high of 74 and 75 and there you see the records very close to those numbers. So, look for two very warm days on thursday and friday. Friday afternoon there could be a shower around and then saturday a shower or a thunderstorm but still pretty mild. Your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, todays high 53 and you know matt said this a little while ago, if this was the High Temperature that we were getting for the entire week, wed say this is a pretty nice day because the average high is back in the mid 40s. So, not a bad day even though its cooler than the rest of the stuff that weve got coming but 63 tomorrow, clouds to sun, not bad and then thursday, 74 degrees, near record warmth and another near record high of 75. In fact, the 75 in philadelphia would be a new record on friday if we hit it. Again, theres a shower friday afternoon. And then saturday clouds, some sun, in the afternoon in particular some rain possible at times and maybe even a thunderstorm but still very mild at 69 degrees. And then on sunday, that front departs and we do wind up with sunshine but it will be breezy and cooler with a high of just 50 and by monday 48, probably not as much wind but clouds gathering again with another front arriving and there could be some rain around on monday afternoon. Overall, though, those are pretty nice february numbers. More than acceptable. All right. Thank you david. 5 40. Next, video of a close call.
