the area and near 50 in philadelphia itself. tomorrow night not nearly as cold as even tonight. sunday, with the temperatures marginal at allentown and mount pocono we have precipitation coming in and some of that could be in the form of let's say, some sleet for a few hours on sunday morning before the warmer air comes in. speaking of warmer air, tomorrow voorhees at 51. longport 52. dover, 58 degrees. rohobeth near 60 degrees. that's pretty warm. but we're going to be getting cooler weather coming in on sunday. because of this wind coming in off the ocean. that combined with the clouds, combined with the rain, that prevents the temperature from going up. there's that little wintry mix toward the poconos into sunday. poconos could even get it later on during the day. it would be hard to get it into being snow, though.
4:49 pm
over the weekend, we're going to be seeing the nicest day on saturday. still mostly cloudy, but well above normal temperatures. then on sunday, it's going to be a big contrast between the lehigh valley, only 39 degrees, with potential mix, wintry mix. to 56 degrees at the jersey shore. yeah, that's neighborhood weather. that's what neighborhood weather's about. sometimes it's fairly uniform for north to south, east to west across the area. sometimes there's big differences and we can show you that with the neighborhood weather. >> saturday's the better day to get out and do things. >> you'll notice it because it will be a lot warmer than today. >> cold out there. >> yeah, right. the wind dying down helps too. >> yeah. >> a welcome break. nbc 10 responds has a workout warning. >> harry hairston and the team are epihadding unhappy customers who say their gym isn't opening at promised.
