similar temperatures in fact, 22 is a fair bet across-the-board for the most part. otherwise cape may beach haven 24 degrees. the clouds again really took over the area through much of the day and then very late you start to see them breaking apart a little bit. we have a warm front to the west that will spill clouds back our way late tonight during the day tomorrow. there's a little ribbon of precipitation in the form of light snow right now in the midwest passing through chicago and as this warm front continues its journey to the north and west, our northwestern areas especially near the lehigh valley, poconos will see a little precipitation out of this front. 11 o'clock tomorrow morning it's going to be the first time since last thursday that temperatures are going to go back above freezing. at 33 degrees philadelphia, 37 in millville, 40 in wilmington. could be a couple of snow showers up towards the poconos late tomorrow morning. most of the day is dry despite that it's cloudy, maybe a few glimmers of sun especially south of philadelphia.

more clouds to the north and west. it's 5 o'clock in the evening we'll watch some of the precipitation arriving with the true warm air invection with those southwesterly winds. so, up close to reading, allentown, northern montgomery and bucks county tomorrow evening, there could be a little period of some freezing rain as those temperatures are trying the warm at the low levels. the rest of us upper 30's, 40's by tomorrow night at 9 p.m. and it's dry. then late tomorrow night early wednesday morning some showers pass through and note temperatures even into the lehigh valley go back into the 40's as that warm air invades and a few leftover showers here early on wednesday morning. again, some icing possible up towards the lehigh valley. very light icing, if that. but north of pottstown something to follow. and then as we're taking a look at that six to sen t.e.n.s. day outlook the eastern half of the country we're in a good area with temperatures seeing greatest above normal, temperatures normal is 40 so moving forward i think many days are going to be in the 40's if not even

50's. as we look at the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, temperatures in the 30's tomorrow, cloudy again not as colder. watch for a little icing possible towards the lehigh valley. tomorrow evening and night. some fog early wednesday morning turning milder of 50. a thaw here thursday, 60 with a shower possible. next front comes in friday, 53 with a lot of clouds maybe a shower and there could be a little wintry mix we have to watch saturday with a brief dip in that temperature and then 40's return the end of next week into the beginning of next. >> thank you sir. >> thank you adam. people scene u2 is coming to philadelphia this summer and will play the entire joshua tree album to mark its 30th year anniversary. that album includes the smash hit singles with or without you, where the streets have no name and i still haven't found what i'm looking for. u2 will play at the linc on sunday june 18th at 7 o'clock. tickets go on sale next tuesday at 10:00 a.m. >>
