thursday and friday are sunny, temperatures back in the 70s. the weekend, though, does not look very good. we are earthquaking quite a bit of rainfall for parts of the area saturday, and parts of sunday, and it's going to be cool, but at least we have this nice ten day to look ahead where temperatures are finally back in the ol 0s. that is the good thing. the weekend forecast for the entire area no matter where you live, so in the pennsylvania suburbs, what it looks right now, 59 degrees saturday, rainy, could see heavy rain in parts of south jersey along the shore and in delaware where temperatures will be in the 50s, so the weekend so far really doesn't look very good on sunday, we're looking at rain, and temperatures in about the mid-60s, so keep this in mind before you make plans. at least this is not memorial day weekend, the unofficial start to summer, but we'll watch that forecast, of course closely, too. don't forget your seven-day scrolling at the bottom of the screen for you with the new neighborhood weather. all right, crossing fingers
