and philadelphia. and 54 in dover and the hild air in that direction and a good portion should wind up in the 60s later on. the cloud cover is thinning out and you see breaks in the clouds and we can't rule out a sprinkle or shower and most of you stay dry the rest of the way. the lehigh valley clouds and sun and milder with a high of 62 degrees. at the shore above average temperatures a high of 59 degrees jacket weather but clouds and sun mixed. philadelphia 63 is what we go for, clouds mixing with sun if the clouds win out more we may fall short of that but either way above the average high in the mid-40s and winds from the southwest not all that strong at 6 to 12 miles per hour. and partly cloudy and cool and an overnight low of 48 degrees and by dawn that number may be rising a bit perhaps up to 50 and winds are light in the overnight hours, then tomorrow things start to change and we
