morning was cold. we will check with the weather watchers. we have some temperatures outside that are below freezing at this hour. we have had clear skies and calm wind overnight. it is all of that cold air easily just made it down to the ground. 28 degrees, interior south jersey at mark's house in chatsworth. blue bell, jerry aubrey, 31 degrees. frost over a lot of locations. ed connor chesterfield below freeze. thirty-two in newark, delaware. cardington, bill, 33 degrees. margot cimans checking in at the 34. mid 30's cherry hill, and then, philadelphia and lawrenceville, peter furrone at 37 degrees. nice start to the morning. we have had mid to high level clouds. this is ed connor of chesterfield had a decent sunrise early this morning. he said a red sunrise. you know saying roadside morning, sailors warning. that is some what true in our forecast. we are bringing back rain in the next 12 to 24 hours, and here's philadelphia, phil chapline nice sunrise this morning with the mainly clear skies. so, lets take you outside, and

it is philadelphia right now, over at palmyra cove nature park. we are looking across the river at the sky line. you can see a little bit of the clouds rolling in. those are mid level cloud off to the south. that will be the trend this afternoon but nice, quiet, calm waters outside on the delaware, glassy conditions with the light breeze this morning. it is back to reality though as yesterday morning at this time, 6:00 o'clock we were dealing with the 60-degree temperature, in philadelphia, and this morning at 6:00 it is 42 degrees. break out heavier coats but you'll be able to shed that later this morning into the the afternoon as highs once again returning well a a have above average. so still feeling like springtime, and this entire weekend and certainly signs of it are coming, just within day, day late saving time begins tomorrow. turn your clocks ahead one hour tonight before you go to bed. eight days officially until spring arrived and it is 22 days, until the average 60 degrees for our afternoon temperatures. we're ahead of that easily, obviously we will hit 80's past few days. twenty-nine days until the phillies home opener.

today dry though, it is a good looking saturday. even this entire weekend is good but today is best day looking for sunshine, we have it right now. the cloud stream in later this morning into the afternoon but bulk of the rain well to the south and west. take sometime to get the here. rain chances increase tomorrow, 40 percent chance. they are scattered. mainly later on during the day, most of the the day should be dry for most of the locations across the region. monday that is our wet day. off and on showers at anytime, and there could be steadier showers, you will need umbrella and rain coat. early tuesday, a few showers and we will clear out for the afternoon. wednesday looks good we will bring back temperatures up around 70 degrees for the middle of the next week. today, justin creasing cloud cover, and then through tonight, it is dry, and tomorrow morning, it the looks good, it is afternoon late in the the day we will start to see showers spread in from the south and the west. so i think the parade is okay. once that rain does stay to the west, most of delaware, new jersey stays dry, during the day sunday as well but it is sunday night, good chance of those showers and off and on through the day on monday, lingering into early tuesday

morning. just a slow moving storm system moving on in. also a colder pocket of eras well. temperatures today, 50's into the 60's later this afternoon. and then it is milder tonight. we will be in the the 40's because of the cloud cover. it will act as a blanket holding in the warmth. and then tomorrow we should see a few peaks of sun earlier in the day. still getting us in the lower 60's a. 10 degrees a would have average. trend jet stream still to the north today and tomorrow, so it is on the mild side but the jet takes a little bit of the dip early next week with that storm. so we will cool the temperatures back down again to the 50's with the showers, but by wednesday, i see another push of warmer air. we're not talking records but highs that are running around 07 degrees and then in the end of the next week, into next weekend we will start to bring temperatures back close to where they should be for middle part of the march. today still mild, 64 degrees with sun and clouds, tonight, 49, mostly cloudy tomorrow, maybe a shower especially late in the day better chance of showers on monday, and then temperature drop, still not a big drop, 57, that is warm for this time of the year. back to 65 on tuesday, and 70
