in the week for most of us. as you can see, the forecast, the temperatures going down and the rain chances going up. especially on friday. the p.a. suburbs, tomorrow 81 degrees. lehigh valley, 82. just a slight chance of a shower in some of these places. for example, lehigh valley, pennsylvania suburbs tomorrow. but the chances, of course, are bigger on friday. at the shore, the temperatures are only going to be in the 60s thursday and friday because of that east wind that is definitely going to be with us. so the future swcast as we egothrough the next 24 hours, one of the computer models is predicting some isolated showers at least coming in during the afternoon to at least part of the area. and that's the reason that in my neighborhood forecast, i actually have some showers, for example, in devon and reading, but not allentown and easton. and not newtown because they're farther to the east.
