and that wind off the water it is still very raw and chilly with temperatures near 60 degrees. there are the clouds. they were thick pretty much everywhere with the exception of the lehigh valley this morning. then the clouds started to fall apart from northwest to southeast into the afternoon and as you can see right now still very thick from long beach island to atlantic city and just to the north of wildwood. if you're heading to the game this evening looking pretty good. first pitch temperature 72, by the ninth inning 67, partly cloudy and feeling much milder than the last few days. we'll talk about the little blip tomorrow morning with the some clouds and some areas could see a little shower or two or a downpour sharrie but when that sun returns in full force it will be around the rest of the weekend. we'll have that timing up coming up in accuweather. >> adam thank you. changes are coming to four catholic churches in atlantic city. today bishop dennis sullivan announced our lady starr of the sea saint monica and saint michael's are combining. it will be called the parish

humidity into the mix and you'll be saying -- >> remember. >> no one is ever happy. as we take a look double scan radar we're drying out with some sunshine especially in the heart of the delaware valley, the lehigh valley, the poconos, the shore the last place to try to get rid of this pesky cloud cover. we've dealt with the entire week. but as we look live on penn's landing on sky six all looking pretty good. you can see some stratus clouds mixing with some cumulus clouds out there but a decent amount of sunshine for this late friday afternoon. with that sun temperatures going to work. 75 degrees in philadelphia. 76 in the lehigh valley, the poconos 71 degrees. but again, you go to the shore and it's a completely different situation. we've got that northeasterly wind only 59 degrees, very raw feeling that went straight off the atlantic and still dealing with low clouds. satellite and radar we got that break this afternoon and many locations with some

splashes of sun but to the north and west we're tracking our next front. that's going to slip through late tonight and during the day tomorrow and that will increase the cloud cover once again late tonight and first thing on saturday. now, saturday it's a transition day. if you are north of philadelphia, you're going to quickly see the sun return late morning early afternoon. if you're south of philadelphia, it's going to take a little extra time tomorrow afternoon to get rid of the clouds and there could even be a spotty shower downpour or thunderstorm south of the city late morning early afternoon. but by 3, 4, 5 o'clock even south of the city, that sun will be returning so if you're going to be at the shore you may have to do indoor type of 50's in the morning but then in the afternoon maybe you can get that stroll on the beach before the sun sets at the shore. as we look at your saturday, it's that high pressure coming in from the north. it's been fighting all week, is it going to come in quick is it going to come in slow, it's kind of back and forth. right now it's coming in slower, that's why we have that cloudy start and the

higher finish. that high slips overhead and just to our east on sunday and that means low humidity, lots of sunshine a beautiful day with temperatures in the upper 70's. if you're heading up to the poconos for the weekend or you're already there looking pretty good for the nascar up there, saturday 73, turning sunny tomorrow. pretty quickly in the morning and then beautiful sunshine for the big race on sunday with a temperature of 70 and at the shore that ocean we're still trying to warm it up here. it's still 60 degrees. saturday 74, a lot of clouds, a shower or two through the early afternoon and then some sun late in the day. the sun back in full force on sunday at 69 but it's cooler because of that wind that will start to shift out of the east as opposed to the land breeze tomorrow. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, clouds, then sun. full sun on sunday at 78. 84 for both monday and tuesday, a little more humid as well. late thunderstorms monday with a front that could linger into
