produce the moisture that is giving us the rain. just one piece of it, but it's a piece. and you can see as we go through the evening hours it gets kind of patchy. the temperature does not go down at all. and as we go into tomorrow morning, we start to see a bit of an increase in the rainfall. and there's those temperatures going up near 60 degrees. now we're getting more widespread rain. we're starting to get some heavier rain. the yellows and the oranges, so early tomorrow afternoon as we're pretty mild, near 60 degrees all day. then we start tapering off, maybe it will get a little bit of a taper off in new york city for the tree lighting. not exactly going to be beautiful weather there, but maybe it will get past the heavier rain by the time they try to do that tomorrow night. light rain and drizzle and fog. dense fog in some places tonight. 52 for the low in philadelphia,

light rain or maybe a bit of drizzle. there's some more back by baltimore, but even that area is shrinking a bit and the more significant rain we're going to have to wait until tomorrow for that. you can see the visibility going below a couple of miles in pottstown, allentown, and as you mentioned in mount pocono it's down to zero. and so the clouds are going to be more of an issue as the night goes on and maybe more of an issue for tomorrow morning's rush than the rain itself. now, the temperatures are in the mid 50s, so it's on the mild side for this time of the year. that's for sure. and we're going to be seeing some spotty, light rain and drizzle with the fog, and temperatures generally holding in the 50s during the night. 11:00, if anything, it may go up a little bit to 52. and by 7:00 a.m., some showers along with the fog. we'll have the timing on some of that heavier rain and what's
