showers and it could be right over the weekend. i'll go over all the details on that. i know a lot of people want to know what's happening as the pope comes to town. i'll have a breakdown for you. for cape may, 69, mostly cloudy skies, seas out of the northeast at 15 miles per hour. wind gusts to 24 miles per hour across the rest of the region. 53 in the poconos. 68 in trenton, temperatures in mount holly at 68. 72 in atlantic city. 68 in dover and 70 degrees in millville. so not a bad way to kick off your late morning hours. our 24 hour temperature change map shows we're down about three degrees in the poconos. everywhere else is going to be a similar day to what we saw yesterday so no crazy changes in store for us. the only thing we're seeing is just a few little light showers moving in to the poconos, but that has since pretty much gone away. so future task shows us we'll see more clearing with our cloudiness heading into your evening hours. maybe a little sunshine before

the sun sets and closer to 6:00 p.m. we have another chance of a few sprinkles closer to atlantic city before everything clears up overnight tonight which will give us plenty of sunshine tomorrow plus we have high pressure strengthening so we will see temperatures going up a bit pushing into tomorrow. so here's the breakdown. that will be a mild start to fall. 76 is our average today, below average today, above average tomorrow for the first day of fall and we stay there heading into thursday. one thing we want to keep a close eye on is this area of low pressure off the carolina coast. we'll see what happens to it. it could stay where it is well to the south of us but if it starts to shift northward, that's going to give us a chance of showers as we head into sunday so one of the models is suggesting that some of the other models are not. so the uncertainty is pretty great. we're still really far out from sunday but right now at least one model is giving us a slight chance of showers as we head into sunday and that could last throughout most of the day. on saturday we look to stay dry,

breezy, and cool. temperatures at 73 but on sunday right now there is a slight chance of showers in the forecast. stick with us, we'll have an update every single day. 66 will be the high in the poconos. 73 in allentown, 71 in quakertown. low 70s for the shore. as we go into tomorrow we warn things up. tomorrow, thursday, 79 and then as we get closer to the pope, 73 on saturday, 74 on sunday. >> speaking of to t pope, thank you, brittney. we're keeping an eye and following the pope's journey to the u.s. we'll get another live look from cuba where pope francis is getting set to depart the island nation and those washington, d.c. this is at the airport in santiago. there's the cuban president raul castro. there will be a short farewell
