AGE OF 96. >>> A CHILLY SATURDAY WAS ON TAP BUT A WARM-UP IS ON THE WAY. GET OUT THE SHORTS. METEOROLOGIST LAUREN CASEY HERE WITH THOSE DETAILS. HI, LAUREN. >> Lauren: HEY, JOE. MAYBE EVEN A COUPLE PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE SHORTS TODAY BECAUSE OF OUR TEMPERATURES STARTING TO WARM ON UP. 55 DEGREES WAS OUR HIGH IN PHILADELPHIA. OUR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE WOULD HAVE US AT 49. WE TOPPED AT 52 IN WILMINGTON, UPPER 40s DOWN THE SHORE. MADE IT TO 50 IN ALLENTOWN. BUT WE DO HAVE RECORD WARMTH IN STORE FOR TOMORROW AS HIGH TEMPERATURES SKY ROCKET UP INTO THE 70s. 72 DEGREES WOULD BREAK THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 71 SET BACK IN 19 35. YEAH, PRETTY LONG STANDING RECORD. BUT THE WARM-UP HAS ALREADY COMMENCED. CHECK OUT OUR 24-HOUR TEMPERATURE CHANGE. UP 23 DEGREES IN ACREDIT. FROM THIS TIME YESTERDAY. UP 20 IN MILLVILLE, UP 12 DEGREES FROM THIS TIME YESTERDAY IN PHILADELPHIA. AND CURRENT CONDITIONS, IT'S STILL CHILLY BUT IT COULD BE MUCH WORSE FOR EARLY MARCH. 45 DEGREES IN PHILADELPHIA. WE HAVE SOME 30s ON THE BOARD UNDER CLEAR SKIES IN UPPER BUCKS, LEHIGH VALLEY. 35 DEGREES IN MOUNT POCONO. TEMPERATURE AT 47 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN ATLANTIC CITY. AND OUR OVERNIGHT LOW WILL LIKELY OCCUR RIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT, 47 DEGREES, AND THEN WE'LL SEE GRADUAL WARMING AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH SOME AREAS OF FOG DEVELOPING. WITH STORM SCAN 3 SHOWING US QUIET CONDITIONS FOR RIGHT NOW BUT WE ARE GOING TO BRING BACK RAIN CHANCES. WE HAVEN'T HAD MEASURABLE RAIN IN PHILADELPHIA IN OVER A WEEK BUT UPWIND A VERY DYNAMIC AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DRAG A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE REGION TOMORROW, AND THAT WILL GENERATE SOME PERIODS OF RAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS AND EARLY AFTERNOON IN AND AROUND PHILADELPHIA. OTHERWISE, WINDY AND VERY WARM WITH THAT HIGH TEMPERATURE AT 72 DEGREES. FOR YOUR DAY PLANNER TOMORROW YOU WILL GET OUT AND ENJOY SOME OF THOSE 70s THOUGH BECAUSE THE RAIN STARTS TO TAPER OFF AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND WE COULD EVEN SEE BREAKS OF SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO LATE DAY AS WELL. SO FUTURE WEATHER SHOWING US QUIET INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, THEN SOME SHOWERS AROUND TOMORROW MORNING. THAT CONTINUING INTO MIDDAY EARLY AFTERNOON, KIND OF SCATTERED IN NATURE. THINGS STARTING TO REALLY WRAP UP AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW EVENING. ON MONDAY MORNING, STARTING THINGS OFF QUIET BUT YOU DO NOTICE THAT ACTIVE WEATHER STARTING TO MAKE AN APPROACH AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY EVENING, WE'LL LIKELY SEE A LINE OF GUSTY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST. SO TIMING LOOKING LIKE, AT THIS POINT, AROUND 7:00, 8:00, 9:00 P.M. IN PHILADELPHIA AND THEN PUSHING INTO SOUTH JERSEY AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE EVENING BUT OF COURSE STAY TUNED TO THAT EVOLVING FORECAST FOR HONING IN ON THAT TIME FRAME AS THOUGH THUNDERSTORMS MOVE ON THROUGH. BUT WE DO HAVE A MORE ACTIVE WEEK AHEAD OF US WITH RAIN CHANCES NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DAY SAVE FOR ON TUESDAY. IN YOUR SEVEN-DAY FORECAST, WE'RE UP TO 76 DEGREES BEFORE THOSE STORMS ROLL IN ONNON MONTH. THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER RECORD BREAKER. BUT THEN TEMPERATURES MAKE A TUMBLE INTO TUESDAY. BUT WE HAVE OUR FIRST 6:00 P.M. SUNSET. AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY 48 DEGREES, RAIN AROUND MAYBE A FEW SNOWFLAKES MIXING IN BUT THEN IT'S RIGHT BACK UP INTO THE UPPER 50s BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK, JOE.
