along i-95 areas south and west that mix to the north and west and then it all changes over by about 3 o'clock. except for the poconos where it will take longer to change over to rain. it continues saturday evening by 11 o'clock some moisture to the north across the real and the poconos in the form of rain. then heading into sunday sunday a lot of the moisture will be gone so we're looking at plenty of clouds with some periods of drizzle here or there. but then a cold front will move through in the afternoon and we'll get another round of rain ahead of that by 3:30 and then it will gradually move off shore by about 9 o'clock. so we're looking at the storm system starting around 9 o'clock saturday morning until 9 o'clock sunday evening so that's about 36 hours mainly a rain event. a half inch to an inch of rain and with that surge of warm air on sunday, the afternoon high up near record high 64 degrees is what i'm forecasting, a record high,

1950 68 degrees. it will be close. tonight partly cloudy, cool and calm, 25 in the cooler suburbs 29 for center city. the exclusive accuweather 7-day, tomorrow that rain arriving mid to late morning again beginning as a mix. 41 degrees the high. sunday mild with periods of generally light rain, 64 degrees. a round of rain in the afternoon ahead of that can cold front and behind that cold front it will be blustery and colder on monday. 39 degrees. on tuesday a fast moving clipper will bring us the chance of that evening snow showers. 32 degrees and that clipper opens the door for true arctic air on wednesday. bitter cold, 29 degrees. on thursday our high only 26 and friday temperatures will begin to recover with a high of 33 degrees. so pretty a.m. mizeing we're going if 64 degrees for the high on sunday to 26 on thursday. big swing. >> yeah. >> two different ward robes required. >> oh, definitely. cecily thanks.
