coast. the storm system will actually be pulling down winds from higher in the atmosphere so where you don't get the friction of the land right along the coast, we'll have wind gusts more than 40 miles an hour. even inland it will be quite windy with wind gusts up to about 25 miles per hour. so, a raw windy cold day tomorrow and right now it's not that pretty out there. plenty of clouds, definitely on the cool side. philadelphia 57 degrees, allentown 59, cape may 53 and wilmington 58. so, satellite and radar showing the low pressure i'm tracking it's moving into south carolina right now and there's some heavy rain moving across north carolina. that low pressure tracks just to our southeast so that would be pulling in steady rain during the day day tomorrow. future tracker showing about 10:30 the clouds in place. again it will be somewhat damp with a few scattered showers but that steady rain is here right in the time for the morning commute especially south of philadelphia could have some heavy downpours around 8 o'clock and it's

basically on and off rain through the day tomorrow. at lunchtime some heavy rain west of philadelphia, the evening commute a soaking rain philadelphia and areas to the east and then we gradually taper off tuesday night into wednesday morning but i think we'll have a tough time clearing the air of the clouds during the day on wednesday. going to have to wait until thursday for that to happen when the sunshine is back. the good news with the rain, the pollen's forecast tomorrow, we are getting a little bit of a relief. the rain will be washing the pollen out of the air for one day. back medium high on wednesday and the pollen back to high levels by thursday and friday. so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow's kind of a nasty day. rainy, cool, windy, 56 degrees. wednesday it gets better. still a lot of clouds, seasonable, 68 degrees but look at this. thursday 80 degrees for the nfl draft. heading to the parkway, temperatures in the 70's early in the morning, by 4 o'clock 79, by 10 o'clock, still mild, 70. the penn relays beginning on

friday -- on thursday i should say. friday we heat up to 84 degrees. saturday 88. 2 degrees shy of the record high. sunday again 2 degrees shy of the record high 89 degrees and monday the warmth continues with a chance of late day thunderstorms and a high of 84 degrees. so, if you like it summery, it will be arriving by the recommend of the end of the wee. >> we like it summery. >> i do too. >> world news tonight with david muir next on channel6.
