conditions are gradually improving. nbc10 first alert meteorologist erika martin here to tell us more about today's forecast. >> we do see a clearing. that's good news there. a pick up in those wind speeds will certainly help because one of the ingredients we do need for the fog would be those calm winds. they're starting to pick up here in philadelphia. current temperature 54 degrees. we're seeing some light to gentle breezes around the jersey shore. wildwood at 14 miles per hour. atlantic city, 8 miles per hour for you. seeing an increase in these wind speeds will certainly help clear that fog. now temperature trend for the next couple of days we'll top out in the low 70s for today. low to mid 70s on friday. we could break the record high tomorrow of 74 degrees. now 72 on saturday. so we're trending a lot warmer, but then by sunday once we see a cold front sweep on through we'll dip into the upper 40s and

would be looking at it and it would be wasting the time i would be preparing it. >> reporter: jerome specializes in time management. he says there are plenty of positives with online cooking, but some limitations too. sq >> you need to realize it is not giving you the total experience. realize you're still missing out on some time. >> reporter: and you can miss out on the trial and error that most cooks use as learning opportunities. on the plus side, the professor says youtube videos are great motivating tools, especially for people that are still learning their way around the kitchen. they can really ignite your passion. on a side note, almost everyone we talked to for this story said after trying a few recipes they would actually consider posting their own videos to help others. i'm pamela osborne. nbc10 news. fans of the great white way are in for a real treat this weekend. the philly pops present blockbuster broadway.
