chilly as it is now. it's 40 in philadelphia, you can see overcast conditions reported everywhere and parts of the area are still in the 30s. and all of the area's feeling like the 30s as you can see, we have at least some wind added to those lower temperatures. feels like 34 in philadelphia, 32 degrees in pottstown. the wind coming straight off the atlantic ocean and east wind, not real strong, 5 to 10 miles per hour. a little stronger in wildwood, but that wind is going to help keep those low clouds in. and it also prevents these temperatures from going down much at night so that there would be any kind of an ice threat or a change over to snow threat. so fleetwood at 36 is likely to stay near 36 for the low temperature. and if anything, go up a little bit later today and tonight. mertztown 36, white hall 37,

bethlehem 37, easton 37 as well. nazareth 36 degrees. that's pretty chilly and when it's raining it's even nastier. but the first batch of rain has moved offshore. we have a little bit more coming into the lehigh valley and poconos now and more significant rain back in western pennsylvania and the ohio valley there are whole band of moisture is going to be settling over the area for a good bit of the weekend. so it's going to take a while before we get past that. and in the afternoon, temperatures creeping up just a little bit and patchy areas of mostly light rain or drizzle. tonight, not much more than any kind of drizzle. tomorrow morning same story. and then we get more patches of rain coming in from the west. so it's not a steady rain, it's not going to be range aining al time but we'll get a number of hours of rain this weekend. now here's when it starts

getting heavier. but that's later, saturday night and into sunday morning, the temperature's nowhere near the freezing marks, don't have to worry about that. and here's 6:00 a.m. on sunday and we've got some moderate to heavy rain in the lehigh valley, berks county, bucks county as well, and 9:00, 10:00 in the morning some locally very heavy rain. but this continues to move so we're not expecting any kind of significant or widespread flooding out of this system despite the number of hours that we're going to be seeing it raining. and there we are sunday in the afternoon we finally droy out. we get temperatures up near 60 degrees which would be way above normal. as far as the amounts of rain, we're talking about a half inch to perhaps an inch and a half over a three-day period. that's not enough to cause flooding but we've had enough rain this month. we'll be right back. i'm a concrete mason.

i own my own company. i had some severe fatigue, some funny rashes. finally, listening to my wife, went to a doctor. and i became diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma... that diagnosis was tough. i had to put my trust in somebody. when i first met steve, we recommended chemotherapy, and then we did high dose therapy and then

autologous stem cell transplant. unfortunately, he went on to have progressive disease. i thought that he would be a good candidate for immune therapy. it's an intravenous medicine that can affect the patient's immune system and unleash it against the cancer. with chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigue, nauseous. and with immune therapy we've had such a positive result. i'm back to working hard. i've honestly never felt this great. i believe the future of immunotherapy at ctca is very bright. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more at cancercenter.com appointments available now.

cause is under investigation. cloudy, rainy, cool. >> doesn't look too good out there, does it? get used to it because much of the weekend is going to be looking like that except at night when you can't see the low clouds. the temperature skrecreeping upt quite as chilly on saturday and sunday as we're we're seeing today or yesterday. and then early next week, the sun comes out, temperatures back up to near 60 degrees. that's well above normal. toward the end of next week we could have more storminess and some parts of the area could be cold enough for snow. we'll get into that more as we get more computer guidance for later this afternoon at 5:00 and 6:00. >> can't really get used to anything, up and down and we're all over the place. >> we've had some big changes during this winter, some extremes record warm rth. >> that's what i like. >> and then remember that brutal cold two weeks that we had. the same winter. >> keep everything out, the flip-flops and heavy coat.
