the temperature should get right around 70. tomorrow will be in the 60s. a good bit warmer than what we've seen in the last couple of days. today 52 degrees. it's still above average even though it's the coldest day of the week. tomorrow 63, thursday 70, friday 71 degrees. so yeah we're warming back to 70 thursday, friday and saturday. right around the 70-degree mark. that will help make february the warmest february ever recorded in philadelphia. and it may not even be close. the rain most likely saturday afternoon with some thunderstorms although there is a chance that we could see a couple of showers in some areas on thursday. here we are so far as of today in third place all time, but because of the warm forecast, you can see the seven-day in your neighborhood at the bottom of your screen, i think we're going to jump up to number one

by the end of the month. we'll see how that goes day to day. a lot of clouds around today. a few showers in western pennsylvania, but this is a pretty weak system here and we're not really expecting much of anything from it other than the clouds. we'll see some of that in the morning going through the afternoon. some breaks allowing the temperature to go up into the 60s, more of a southwest wind tomorrow than the east wind -- the southeast wind that we have seen. here's thursday and a weak system coming through. and not much of a threat. possibly a shower late in the day. during the day tomorrow there's that southwest wind. helping to push the temperature up. fairmont up to 63. reading to 63 degrees. these are way above average temperatures. voorhees at 60 degrees, egg harbor township inland at 62. but longport on the beach at 54.

new york delaware at 60 degrees. into the weekend there's gog be a dramatic difference between saturday and sunday. first of all, saturday up near 70 degrees. the third day in a row of that. but windy and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. i've got thunderstorms for all areas. of course, they'll be coming later at the jersey shore than they come in the lehigh valley which will help keep the lehigh valley temperature down to 62. then on sunday another windy day, but this is a cold wind. so the high sunday is only 48 in philadelphia, 43 lehigh valley. 50 at the jersey shore and delaware. so we're going to be seeing a dramatic difference between saturday and sunday and we're pretty sure about that so you can go ahead and alter some plans. there we are 70, 71 and 70 with the gusty winds saturday. we cool down on sunday, but it's

just one day. we start warming up again on monday and much of next week is a little bit warmer. look at wednesday up to 70, then we start cooling down again later next week. i'm john clark. coming up desean jackson talks about returning to the eagles and the playoffs for the sixers but when? that is next.
