valley. 31 for south jersey. 34 jersey shore, 32 in delaware. mostly clear skies with a few high thin clouds. tomorrow, 50 in philadelphia, 48 lehigh valley. 53 for south jersey, delaware, 51. your ten day on 10, this is when it gets interesting. we're going to be looking on sunday at 54. watch the birds here. it will be a comfortable day if you're going out to celebrate. we're looking at 56 on monday. rain comes in later on tuesday. look at the 62 on tuesday. that's probably the last one we'll see. 51 wednesday and then we drop into the 30s and 40s. we may see a mix of rain and snow a week from tomorrow. erin, jim? mission accomplished for a local woman who discovered a lost treasure. the ring reunion she made possible for one local couple after contacting nbc 10. michael: i'm thankful that
