11:50 am
thanks to the winds coming in off the ocean and inland, we can get up to 60 in philadelphia and not a quick warm-up and we're making slow progress and 54 and westmount areas 55 degrees and the trend is for warmer weather after we cool down tomorrow. look at the temperature surge at the end of the week and the normal temperature for this time of year is 67 degrees and we'll be past that wednesday afternoon and summerlike heat for thursday, friday and saturday that will get us into the weekend, but maybe not through it. i think it will turn cooler on sunday. this is what we're dealing with so far this morning and light showers have moved through delaware and much of south jersey and now they're moving through philadelphia and some steady rain now in burkes county and upper montgomery seeing a few raindrops and it's starting to spread through allentown and nothing, but light rain here and steady rain to the south with thunderstorm activity staying offshore and downpours possible for us tomorrow. this is a system that's
11:51 am
extending into georgia. some heavier downpours in north carolina and south carolina. those will be coming into our area tomorrow afternoon most likely. so we'll get a pretty good amount of rain from this. about a quarter of an inch by philadelphia and half an inch in dover and just over a quarter of an inch at 10:00 tonight and that's on and off showers during the day today and showers in evening, as well. on and off showers overnight tonight and by tomorrow morning we're not looking at a lot more rainfall in the area. egg harbor could see more than a half inch on the ground than that and that's the total for today and overnight tonight. watch what happens as we go through the day tomorrow. here comes the heavier rain. that's 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. some downpours topping an inch of rain in avalon and closing in on two-thirds of an inch in philadelphia at that hour and at 5:00 tomorrow afternoon we've still got rain in the area that continues into the evening hours and it will top an inch of rain
11:52 am
in philadelphia and westchester and pottstown and more than two inches of rain is possible at the shore. yes, you'll need your rain gear today, tomorrow and into wednesday. stays cool today and chillier tomorrow, 49 in the morning and 58 degrees in the afternoon and once we get the sunshine and the temperatures take off and it's looking unusually warm, timed perfectly for the nfl draft and we'll be here through saturday and come sunday that's the next chance for showers and for sunday, we could see showers and possibly a thunderstorm that continues into monday and the showers taper off tuesday and the sunshine returns on wednesday. we'll be right back.
