Scattered Showers and Cloudy Skies Across the Region Today

The rest of the area, including Philadelphia and South Jersey, will experience mostly cloudy skies and light onshore winds. Temperatures will hover in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Patchy Fog Tonight with Clearing Skies Expected Thursday
As the cold front dissipates tonight, high pressure will reestablish over the region, leading to dry conditions and continued cloudy skies. Some patchy fog may develop, particularly in the NJ Pinelands and the Poconos, where cooler overnight temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 50s. By Thursday, expect a sunnier trend with temperatures rising to the mid-70s, offering a pleasant, warm day for much of the region.
