...BREEZY AND ATYPICALLY WARM TODAY, THEN HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE LATE 
SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY...

LOW PRESSURE THAT WAS OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES EARLY THIS 
MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST AND PULL VERY WARM AIR INTO 
OUR REGION. ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATER THIS 
AFTERNOON AND CAUSE WINDS TO INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP 
TO 35 MPH. WITH THE COOLER AIR SLOW TO MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT, 
RECORD OR NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED. IN FACT 
DAILY MAXIMUM RECORDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN BROKE AT ALLENTOWN, MOUNT 
POCONO, READING, AND TRENTON. 

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY.

IN PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, THE RECORD OF 71 DEGREES WAS SET BACK 
IN 1950. AT ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY, THE RECORD OF 69 DEGREES WAS 
SET BACK IN 1950. IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, THE RECORD OF 70 DEGREES 
WAS SET BACK IN 1950. AT GEORGETOWN, DELAWARE, THE RECORD OF 70 
DEGREES WAS SET BACK IN 1950.

THE FOLLOWING INCLUDE THE PREVIOUS RECORDS AND THE NEW RECORDS SET 
TODAY AS OF 1200 PM. BEAR IN MIND THAT TEMPERATURES COULD STILL RISE 
FURTHER THIS AFTERNOON.  

IN ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, THE OLD RECORD WAS 60 DEGREES SET BACK 
IN 1998. AS OF THE NOON HOUR, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 67 DEGREES. AT 
TRENTON, NEW JERSEY, THE OLD RECORD WAS 68 DEGREES SET BACK IN 1950. 
AT 1200 PM, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 70 DEGREES. IN READING, 
PENNSYLVANIA, THE OLD RECORD WAS 63 DEGREES SET BACK IN 1950. AS OF 
THE NOON HOUR, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 69 DEGREES. AT MOUNT POCONO, 
PENNSYLVANIA, THE OLD RECORD WAS 57 DEGREES SET BACK IN 1950. AT 
MIDDAY, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 60 DEGREES. 

WIND GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH NORMALLY ARE NOT DAMAGING, BUT THEY CAN
CREATE DIFFICULTIES FOR ANY OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.

AFTER THE RECORD OR NEAR RECORD WARMTH TODAY, ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE GULF COAST ON
SUNDAY AND MOVE OVER OUR AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING.
THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN TO THE ENTIRE AREA, AND THAT
RAIN MAY BE HEAVY. WITH THE ALREADY WET GROUND, THERE COULD BE
SOME FLOODING. STAY TUNED TO LATER FORECASTS AND POSSIBLE
STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION.
