Well above normal (summerlike) temperatures today then showers and cooler temps follow for tonight and into early Saturday. High pressure remains offshore will a very mild and humid airmass has established itself across our area. Today will be the warmest day of the stretch with low/mid 80s widespread across the area. Highs in the upper 70s across the southern Poconos. Dry conditions should prevail through mid-day. This will change this afternoon as a cold front will pass across the region this evening and early tonight and will settle over Delmarva on Saturday. Scattered showers will develop this afternoon, mainly north and west of the I-95 corridor, then spread east tonight. The showers taper off in most areas by Saturday morning, but across southern Delaware and south NJ, we`ll keep some clouds and scattered showers for Saturday as the front becomes nearly stationary over the Mid-Atlantic. Overall, QPF will be less than 1/10 inch but a few areas closer to 2/10ths of an inch are possible. KEY MESSAGE 2...Unsettled conditions are expected for Sunday and Sunday night. Rain chances remain about the same as yesterday however. High pressure then builds into the region from the north during Saturday. Mostly sunny skies for most of the area and partly to mostly cloudy skies across Delmarva and extreme southern New Jersey with seasonable, but slightly below normal temperatures with highs in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees. After that, low pressure develops on that stalled front and passes cross the Mid-Atlantic and Delmarva Sunday and Sunday night. The previous fcst has low-end likely POPS for southern Delaware and the 50%-60% chance ribbon runs along the Delaware Valley and up into northern Ocean County. Low chance pops are included now for the southern Poconos and Lehigh Valley. These are perhaps 0-5% higher than this time yesterday. The present forecast QPF totals are a bit lighter than previous fcsts. Current totals are a half-inch across southern DE and 0.1 to 0.2 for the Delaware Valley. High pressure and a much cooler air mass then builds into the region starting Monday into Tuesday. High temperatures Tuesday are only near 60 degrees for much of the region, which is upwards of 10 degrees below normal. Some patchy frost is possible by Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Forecast lows are in the mid 30s north of I-78, and in the low to mid 40s elsewhere. && .AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
