suburbs that there could be a brief rain shower mixed with maybe some freezing rain, especially in the mountainous regions of carbon and monroe county where there is a freezing rain advisory. but for our general viewing area, it is dry. those brief showers are mainly to the north and west. and then that front excels north of new york city in the afternoon. sunshine returns tomorrow afternoon, and with the return of sunshine, breaking out friday afternoon into the early evening hours, those temperatures will bounce back to near normal in the middle 50s. but struggling out of the 30s and 40s in the morning with those clouds being very stubborn. they on saturday, high pressure is to our north. this is going to push a front through the second half of the weekend. but it doesn't for saturday. and that means saturday warm, 18 degrees above average. a lot of the high clouds. if you're thinking of heading to the shore, bring a jacket. only 50s right along the immediate shoreline because of an earl wind.

the -- easterly wind. this brief shower, late returning sun, 55. very warm saturday. cooler at the shore. sunday, a cool breeze sets in. an easterly wind cloudy from start to finish. maybe even a shower in northern areas sunday morning. in the 40s and 50s. we're only going to top off at 53 the second haft of the weekend. monday, it starts to warm up into the lower 60s. but monday and tuesday, the clouds are subur stubborn. not a washout monday or tuesday. and then the sun smarts to return wednesday. thursday, pretty beautiful with temperatures still just a tad above average at the end of next week. >> okay. >> all right. >> thank you, adam. job seekers were given an opportunity to connect with local employers during a career fair today in king of prussia. the choice career fair was headlight at the crowne plaza on the 200 block of mall boulevard. job opportunities and availabilities included administration, health-care, hospitality, and sales.
