4:47 pm
remember yesterday i was showing you these numbers and telling you that today it was going to be reversed. allentown was going to be the warmer. they're at 59 now. dover, raining and 50. so starting tomorrow it will go back to normal where allentown will be cooler than dover, delaware. and it will stay that way through the weekend. there we are. 59 in allentown. 50 in wilmington and dover. only 52 in philadelphia. now, things going to change. quite a bit as we head through the weekend. by saturday and sunday lots of sunshine at the shore. not going to be real warm but it's also not going it be real windy. a little windier on sunday. that sea breeze coming in off that cool ocean, that has an influence. so don't let that sunshine fool you. you can get a bad sunburn even when it's cool outside. the sun is very high this time of the year. monday memorial day, 78 degrees. taking any chance of thunderstorms out of the forecast for the shore. still have it in for the poconos.
4:48 pm
but just a chance there. it's cool on saturday. warmer on sunday. really nice overall. there's the rain. starting to again, end in northwestern new castle county. much of montgomery county is dry now. all right. it's a steady rain over southern delaware and cape may county but not for too much longer. look at it it's moving straight to the east. it's getting out of here. here's the hour-by-hour as we go through the 7:00 hour. it's breaking up a little bit in delaware. and then eventually gets out of the shore area. now what's going to happen over the weekend, high pressure right on top of us saturday. so that's a sure thing. it's going to be a beautiful day, but cool. then we're watching this front, and that's going to determine what kind of weather we get on monday. so sunday is still okay and it's getting warmer with the southerly wind. there's that front developing monday. and that's why i think there's a better chance of some showers in the poconos than anywhere else
4:49 pm
in the area. on memorial day later in day. the rain ends south and east and clearing by daybreak. 50 degrees for the low in philadelphia. and may not drop too much from where it is right now. windy and warmer tomorrow but look at the wind. gusting to 35 miles an hour. going to be in the mid 70s, though. then it cools down a bit on saturday especially cool in the morning. then 10 degrees warmer sunday. 10 degrees warmer than that on monday. just a chance of a thunderstorm mostly up toward the poconos. and then it really gets hot. 90 degrees tuesday. and near that wednesday and thursday, too. so we really did need that rain today because we're not expecting a whole lot in the next week. >> and people who don't like it that warm in the 90s, they should really enjoy these next few days. >> yeah, it's going to be really comfortable for friday saturday, sunday. then it really starts getting summerish. >> that's right. which we begged for in the winter. >> yeah. we begged for 50 in the winter. >> all right.
