those have really moved out and broken apart. a live look in the poconos, overcast skies, looks like it's going to rain any minute and we have sprinkles trying to work in. all because of a cold front, that's why we have the clouds around right now and tomorrow will be cooler and windy for your wednesday. then we have another cool down in time for the weekend, weekend cold in the forecast with temperatures near freezing through parts of the area come sunday morning. i'll show you that forecast in just a second. live look out at cape may, nice along the shore, but seeing overcast skies, mostly cloudy in cape may, temperatures in the low 70s right now and much of the area in the 70s. 70 for allentown and reading, philadelphia, 74 in wilmington, most of south jer seep and delaware still in the mid to low 70s, but this is really going to be the last 70-degree day for a little while. we will be cooler tomorrow, all the way through friday, even colder going into the weekend. so enjoy the rest of the mild air today. locally we're mostly dry, just

the clouds around, few sprinkles north and west of philadelphia, but really not much in the way of rain. this is another cold front off to the west, that will be flying through into tonight and you'll feel the changes tomorrow. we have actually a series of cold fronts moving through, that's going to keep us cool this week, so the first is moving through, another will re-enforce the cool air as we go into thursday and even friday, but by friday we have another cold front that will move through. this is a big one that's going to cool us down going into the weekend. this will be increasing our cloud cover for friday, best chance of showers should mostly be north of philadelphia, but then once it moves through, take a look at the cool air that will be dropping down from the north. 30-degree morning temperatures come sunday morning, now saturday and sunday afternoon both will be chilly, highs only in the 50s, but this is a lot of cold air, it's going to stretch all the way down into the southeast. so it will be much colder as we go into sunday morning, even monday morning those are the two mornings where we expect temperatures in the 30s for most of the area, near freezing

through parts of the lehigh valley, so keep that in mind going into your weekend. tonight, though, partly cloudy, still comfortable, 55 for the low in philadelphia, 49 degrees areas north and west. tomorrow cool and breezy, but nice day, 66 to 69 degrees and the average high actually 68, so we will be seasonable this time of year, right where we should be. thursday around 67 degrees, still cool. friday mid 60s, but more clouds with the cloud front moving through, that's going to drop us down to the 50s for saturday. for your saturday, it's going to be colder, going to get breezy. 58 degrees for the high temperature. i think we're barely going to be making it to 60 degrees, any areas that do may be considered lucky, but i think we'll be in the 50s. then as we go into saturday night, sunday morning, we'll be dropping into the 30s. 38 degrees around the philadelphia area, but the lehigh valley, lower elevations, you're going to get closer to freezing. same thing as we go into monday morning, so the cold air's going to stick with us and we're really not going to be back into

the 60s until next tuesday once we start the weekend. >> the eagles play monday night football, it's going to be cold, really football weather. you have to bundle up. >> definitely going to be football weather. sure a lot of people might be breaking out the gloves just because it's such a quick drastic change. >> we can handle it, right, jackie? >> yes. >> all right. well, the magazine's been popular with men for decades. >> and this afternoon there's word of a cover up at playboy. but it's not what you think. it's certainly not what subscribers of the decades old magazine were expecting. the story next on nbc 10 news at 4:00.
