there are the cirrus clouds especially south of philadelphia to the north and west a little more in thed that will be the general trend tonight to see the clear sky that creates good radiational cooling without the wind meaning you can drop the temperature further. in fact, here's the records that we are predicting. not in philadelphia but we'll be close to the record of two. allentown reading and wilmington no doubt those records are going to fall tomorrow morning. six below the air temperature tomorrow morning in allentown five below in reading. three in wilmington with the old record being six and expecting to tight record in atlantic city. high pressure still going to be in control tomorrow. still a lot of sunshine. the next boundary will be waiting a day or so to our north and west so 24 degrees but light winds tomorrow and full sunshine. then this boundary will be pushing through very late in the day. it does turn breezy on wednesday. sun and clouds but a decent day at there it degrees. that is below the normal of 45 degrees for this time of year. as we look at the exclusive accuw
