allentown and reading and lancaster. 30 in millville and 39 in cape may. satellite shows you those clouds off to the north but nothing down in south jersey and delaware and even the i-95 corridor looks sun glass appropriate as we go a little bit later into the morning. up in the lehigh valley today we'll call for mostly sunny skies. this is one of the areas where you might be doing battle with clouds for parts of the day but it looks like we're still going to be fairly bright. a high of 41 though a lot cooler than yesterday. at the shore we're going for a cool high of 44 degrees, mostly sunny and chilly and in philadelphia after hitting 64 yesterday only 43 today. so mostly sunny, cooler, still not a bad day, though and winds running northwest around nine to 18 miles per hour today. 32 is the overnight low with more clouds gathering and before dawn tomorrow we expect a rain and snowy mix. the snow will be to the north of philadelphia. rain mainly in the city. 32 the overnight low but that will be picking up pretty quickly as we go past the sunrise hour and that rain does look like it will be rain and not a problem otherwise for us in philadelphia and near i-95. 45 degrees is tomorrow afternoon's high periods of rain through maybe early to midafternoon. up in the poconos it will be snow and in some of our immediate northern and western suburbs there's the possibility of some brief snow before a clover to rain. by 7 o'clock -- by the way this gets starter around 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock in the morning. by 7 o'clock you have the chance of some slushy roads developing in the lehigh valley northern bucks and montgomery counties and maybe the northern part of berks county and then the whole thing changes over to rain probably well before 10 or 11 o'clock and the rain starts to filter out after about two or 3 o'clock with just a couple of sprinkles and showers after that. what are we expecting on the ground is again a slushy coating to an inch possible in these northern areas. be careful of perhaps some slippery spots on roads. the poconos one to three but everybody else no accumulation and basically all rain. your seven day, today's high, 43 lots of sunshine chilly. tomorrow 45 with some of that rain through the first part of the day and maybe a little bit of mixing and some light snow up in the northern suburbs. and then friday blustery, 40 degrees the high and there could be another pop-up snow shower or snow squall. that's one of those quick bursts of snow that could make roads a little bit slippery in a hurry. then for new year's eve clouds mixing with just a little bit of sun, probably more clouds also a the day goes on, a high of 41. at night we can't rule out a brief rain or snow shower. i don't think it has much of an impact on your festivities and then on new year's day mostly cloudy and a little bit milder. we'll start out in the probably mid 30's by sunrise but 48 in the afternoon and all things considered not a bad

storm tracker6 live double scan shows you that we're starting out dry and as we take a look outside, we have abundant sunshine getting ready to pop up. a few clouds out there but it is going to be a bright start and most of those clouds that you see will probably have a tendency to evaporate once that sun gets working on them. 37 degrees is your current temperature. dewpoint down at 27 so a nice spread between the surface temperature and the dewpoint, meaning that air is pretty drive. winds out of the west at 8 miles per hour, probably picking up a little bit once there sun gets up over the horizon. we could look at winds in the teens today. not exactly knocking the hat off your head but a little bit breezy. there's that cloud cover to the north a little bit thicker but again we are hoping that most of that breaks up and that we wind up with at least mostly sunny skies today. 36 by 8:00 a.m. yesterday we got up to 64. today we're going to spend the majority of the morning in the 30's, 39 degrees by 10 o'clock and most of the afternoon in the 40's with a high of just 43 at 3 o'clock. back into the upper 30's by 6 o'clock. so a cooler day but dry. and just a little bit breezy.

coming at us we will get periods of rain for the first half to two-thirds of the day. up in the poconos it will be snow and if we take a look at future tracker6 there could be a little brief snow early in the morning, say, between 5:30 and 7:00 up in northern bucks and montgomery county. also up in allentown and perhaps north berks county. fairly quickly during the morning. that changes to rain and by 11 o'clock, if the snow is still falling in the poconos but the rest of us probably just looking at rain and there you see how we do tend to dry out a little bit as the afternoon goes on. how much snow on the ground is not a whole lot. about a coating to an inch. look out for slushy roads in these areas highlighted in gray early tomorrow. up in the poconos one to 3-inches of snow. a little bit more snow there. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 43 is today's high, mainly sunny. chilly. and then tomorrow some rain through a good portion of the day, tapering off later into the afternoon up north a little bit of a mix 45 is the high. friday blustery conditions, 40 a chance of a snow shower or snow squall which is one of those pick quick pops of snow that could make roads a little bit slippery. couple spots might see that on friday. new year's eve clouds mixing with sun, probably cloudy as the day goes on a high of 41. slight chance of a brief rain or snow shower at night. not thinking that's really amounting to much. new year's day looks dry but mostly cloudy with a high of 48. bundle up for the early part of the mummers parade as we'll be in the mid 30's early
