tomorrow that stay dry and by saturday we will start to see cloud thickening once again. even right through tomorrow generally nothing more than a few cloud here and there and should than a nice couple of days. the saturday 1:00 p.m. rain is still far removed, it looks like it is generally toward evening that we will start to move in but as sun goes down we will have enough cold air left over. that places like poconos going into the the high terrain specifically could see snow or icing mix nothing with this. notice this is a warm front so warm air will take over and that does mean even if you start off with light snow it will get washed away here by the changeover to rain. although, with that said i say most of us are dealing strictly with the rain making storm. in rain at the moment, right now as you can see center city, in the distance here nice clear case, chilly start the two day at palmyra but sun will shine for you and new years chill we will take it. 39 degrees. we will drop to 28. pretty ease nal for standard

and as we look forward in the forecast we will rebound, through saturday and sunday and saturday evening the rain arrives and it looks like just a wash out but a mild one on sunday guys back to you. well, a local health department, they are on the alert after a measles scare we will let you know who need to make sure they are vaccinated. a fiery rescue we have to see here unlikely heroes to saved the driver from this burning bus. we will be right back.
