Well continue to drop and well be in the mid30s tonight. We wont be as cold as we were last night. Heres what you need to know. Well have a nice saturday. Well get a warmup into the mid, maybe even the upper 50s. That will be above average for this time of year. Well see some clouds building in the afternoon and then well see the possibility of a shower t. Sunday, completely different. The front that brings that possibility of an isolated shower on thursdasaturday turns cool. Well be looking at the upper 40s. A little bit of a difference between the two days. Got rain, we have a dry stretch all of next week. Were below average at this point. Any rain would be welcome. We dont want to be into a deficit headed into a warmer than average winter. And then, another warmup next week. So it begs the question where is fall . Were not going to go into a terribly cold pattern at this point. Well be flirting with 60 by the middle of next week. Thats the surprise good news. Flirt ing with 60. Well be heading into december, very mild. Were looking at nothing on Doppler Radar as far as precipitation. The region is quiet. We have this line of showers making its way through minnesota and also iowa and wisconsin. And thats the cold front thats going to drive through and bring our temperatures down by tomorrow night. There is two of them. The first one will bring us perhaps an isolated shower. I think that is mainly going to be the Lehigh Valley, the poconos, maybe berks county. Lets go ahead and see where well be. Well drop down by tomorrow morning, 35 in philadelphia, 34 in allentown. 40 in millville. Tomorrow we make it into the mid 50s. Here comes the clouds at 3 00. Some spotty showers out there. Still a pretty dry atmosphere. An isolated shower. I wouldnt rule it out. By tomorrow or by saturday afternoon, were going to make sunday afternoon well make it into the 40s with clear skies and monday well make it into the upper 40s, close to 50 degrees. So for tonight, youll see 37 in philadelphia, 34 in the Lehigh Valley. And 45 along the jersey shore. Were going to be mainly clear out there. Then tomorrow, we are going to look at sunshine with clouds moving in in the afternoon. 58 in philadelphia. 54 in the Lehigh Valley. 58 along the joerersey shore. 49 on sunday, going out there to the eagles game pribring your jacket.

He accepted the invite. This year, jamal didnt receive a text, but he still showed up for the feast. I do believe there are no accidents in life. For that to happen, there was a reason. Just being friendly, i gained a new friend. A couple of new friends, a new tradition on thanksgiving and i love it. That is so sweet.
