Philadelphia weather: Clouds decrease on drier, warmer-than-average Friday
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Conditions have improved for Friday as we close out one of the wettest Decembers on record.
Things will remain damp and dreary, with some morning fog in the Lehigh Valley. Use caution on the roads if you have to be out.
Across the region we'll see cloud cover slowly lift before a clearer Friday afternoon.
No rain is expected during the day, but we could see a stray shower in the southern parts of our region tonight, especially in Delaware or at the Jersey Shore.
After Friday, things cool down heading into the new year, with highs in the mid-40s.
A cold front to our north will move down and could bring snow showers to the Poconos and flurries to the Lehigh Valley into Saturday.
New Year's Day is looking seasonable with a high of 46 degrees and a low of 33 as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Arizona Cardinals at Lincoln Financial Field.
You'll want to wear a warm coat if you're spectating the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia, but it's been colder on past New Year's Days.
Here's your 7-day forecast:
Friday: Decreasing clouds. High 53
Saturday: Cooler. High 47, Low 36.
