the action cam shows the condition there's. 57 in philadelphia and the winds out of the north at 6, we hope we will get a southerly draw, a little later in the afternoon, areas south of philadelphia, millville and dover have bumped up into the 60s, having a hard time achieve that in philadelphia, driving down from the north in just a bit there they are at future tracker 6, kind of hope be to get a southerly flow. by 3:00 we are looking at continuation of that rain to the south, maybe a couple of light sprinkles or showers close to philadelphia and heavier rain possible at times the farther south you go south of atlantic city and millville and cape may county and just below dover or dover at times could see steady rainfall at times.

and then 6:00, areas of millville and atlantic city seeing significant rain, and by 6:00 we see additional drying over south jersey and this all gets off the coast by 8:30 or 9:00 tonight, by 10:30 and a couple of sprinkles well south that adam and cecily will show you on stormtracker 6 live double scan. we may be undershooting this in philadelphia and wet roads and nuisance rain and now trying to dry out. the further south to south jersey and delaware the better chance of significant rain and ponding and puddling on roadways especially if we get the heavier cells. if lehigh valley you are probably much done with the rain and 66 degrees later on and down the shore staying damp and wet, a high of 64 degrees, beneath the cloudy wet skies and

philadelphia if we can get that rain farther to the south and get a nudge out of the south winds for just a little bit any way we'll achieve the high of 65 degrees, but we need to get farther away from the rain for that to happen. up into the 60s is a good bet 48 is the overnight low cloudy and cooler and we are starting to see breaks as we look at the evening commute, looking at the cool side and dry side with temperatures falling from the mid to low 60s with cool conditions and it's drier for the commute. the accuweather forecast showers beginning to recede to the south, and tomorrow is a great day partly sunny and 68. and friday lots of clouds and 66 and a spotty shower can't be ruled out and saturday we are improving the forecast a mix of clouds and sun and a high up over 70 and pretty nice on
