Some rain possible Friday, but mostly cloudy weather expected for Philadelphia; storms Saturday?

AT CBSPHILADELPHIA.COM JUST CLICK ON THE BOX ON THE FRONT PAGE. >> Jan: TURNING TO WEATHER NOW DESPITE RAIN THIS MORNING THINGS ARE LOOKING A WHOLE LOT BETTER FOR YOUR LABOR DAY. >> Jim: NEXT WEATHER METEOROLOGIST GRANT GILMORE IN OUR VIRTUAL STUDIO TO PREPARE YOU FOR WHAT'S NEXT. >> Grant: THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST, NOING TO WORRY ABOUT. WE'LL HELP YOU GET THROUGH IT. THERE WILL BE A COUPLE SHOWERS THAT MOVE THROUGH AT TIMES BUT I THINK PROGRESSIVELY THE WEATHER WILL GET BETTER CERTAINLY AS WE GET INTO LABOR DAY ITSELF. LET'S RUN DOWN THE FORECAST FROM THE SHORE TO THE POCONOS WHERE TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE MORE FALL-LIKE. 74 DEGREES DOWN THE SHORE. 63 DEGREES IN THE POCONOS. WE'VE SEEN A FEW SHOWERS AROUND THE AREA THIS MORNING. I THINK MOST OF THE DAY WILL BE DRY BEFORE SOME MORE SHOWERS START TO RE12 LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. SATURDAY ON THE WHOLE SHOULD BE DRY BEFORE SOME LATE DAY SHOWERS AND STORMS BEGIN TO ROLL THROUGH. THOSE SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO SUNDAY BEFORE A STRONG COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH. IT SWEEPS EVERYTHING OUT OF HERE AND WE'VE GOT SUNSHINE AND ONCE AGAIN, FALL-LIKE TEMPERATURES. MONDAY 77 DOWN THE SHORE. IN THE POCONOS, TEMPERATURES WILL BE RIGHT AROUND 67 DEGREES MONDAY AFTERNOON. STILL PLENTY OF SUNSHINE FOR THE LAST PART OF OUR HOLIDAY WEEKEND. NOT A LOT OF SUNSHINE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW BUT THE SUN IS BEGINNING TO RISE. WE'RE FINDING MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WAKISHA IS DOWN IN OCEAN CITY, SHE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW IT'S BREEZY DOWN THERE. NOTICE HOW THE SURF IS UP AS WELL. THE WINDS ARE COMING IN OUT OF THE EAST THIS MORNING AND IT MAY PUT A LITTLE CHILL IN THE AIR. 8 MILES PER HOUR WIND IN ATLANTIC CITY, 13 MILES PER HOUR WIND IN WILDWOOD. HERE IN THE CITY WIND SPEEDS ARE AROUND 9 MILES PER HOUR BUT REALLY I THINK THE COMBO OF THOSE FIVE TO 10 MILES PER HOUR WINDS AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 60s THIS MORNING, IT CERTAINLY DOES MAKE YOU WANT TO GRAB THE JACKET, LIGHT JACKET, WIND BREAKER MAYBE THE LONG-SLEEVE SHIRT THIS MORNING. HAVE A LOOK AT THESE READINGS AROUND THE REGION. 70 IN ATLANTIC CITY, PHILLY AT 68 DEGREES. THE REST OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60s AS WELL. TO GO ALONG WITH THE SORT OF DAMP CONDITIONS, IT IS I GUESS WE COULD SAY A DREARY MORNING EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE RAIN IS NOW CLEARING THE COAST. STILL A LOT OF LIGHTNING WITH THAT CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS JUST OFF THE DELAWARE COAST AND SOUTH JERSEY. AT ONE TIME THIS MORNING, THAT CLUSTER OF STORMS WAS PRODUCING OVER 700 LIGHTNING STRIKES IN JUST ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES. ASIDE FROM AN ISOLATED SHOWER THIS MORNING, THIS IS REALLY THE MAIN STORM SYSTEM THAT WE'RE TRACKING THAT'S CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE MIDWESTERN STATES. SO THAT COLD FRONT MOVES EAST. WE'RE ON THE COLD SIDE OR AT LEAST COOLER SIDE OF THIS WHOLE WEATHER SYSTEM AND THAT EASTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP THE CLOUD COVER AROUND TODAY. IT WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE 70s THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BUT AS WE GO INTO THE FIRST PART OF OUR LABOR DAY WEEKEND, THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. SEE IT DOESN'T COME THROUGH WITH MUCH FANFARE. FORECAST MODEL NOT SAYING THERE'S A LOT OF RAIN CHANCES WITH THAT FRONTAL PASSAGE. THAT MOVES NORTH AND EAST. TEMPS TOMORROW IN THE LOW AND MID 80s UNDER PARTLY SUNNY SKIES. I THINK WE SEE SOME SUNSHINE BREAK THROUGH THOSE CLOUDS TOMORROW BUT WATCH THAT LINE OF STORMS. OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT, IT COULD BE PRODUCING SEVERE WEATHER AS IT PROVES ACROSS CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA -- MOVES ACROSS CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA BUT THE TREND COULD BE A WEAKENING TREND. SOME OF US MAY NOT GET ANY RAINFALL AS THIS PRIMARY COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. AFTER THAT FRONT WE'RE WAITING FOR THE SECOND FRONT THAT BRINGS US THE CLEARING CONDITIONS INTO MONDAY. 76 DEGREES OUT THERE TODAY. IF YOU HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE ALREADY OR WHEN YOU DO STEP OUTSIDE, NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE TEMPERATURES WARM ALL THAT MUCH. WE'LL UP AROUND MAYBE 10 TREES 10 DEGREES WARMER THAN WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES MAYBE A SPOTTY SHOWER BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE A LOT OF RAIN ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. SAME FOR TONIGHT. MAYBE A FEW SHOWERS. OTHERWISE, MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, TEMPERATURES DROP BACK DOWN TO 69 DEGREES. BUT REMEMBER, WE'LL SEE THAT WARM FRONT MOVE THROUGH INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING AND WE'LL WARM UP TO START OFF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SO, WE'RE BACK UP TO AROUND 86 . SAME WITH SUNDAY BUT THAT PRIMARY COLD FRONT COULD BRING US SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS IF THOSE STORMS HANG ON AS THEY MOVE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. SOME OF THEM COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE BUT PRIMARILY LOOKING AT GUSTY WINDS. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY TORNADO RISKS AS WE GO OVERNIGHT SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. WE'RE WAITING ON THAT SECOND COLD FRONT AND UNTIL THAT SECOND FRONT MOVES THROUGH A COUPLE OF SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO SUNDAY. BUT I'M STILL REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO LABOR DAY ITSELF. THAT LAUNCHES A GREAT STRETCH OF WEATHER ONCE AGAIN. MORE FALL-LIKE CONDITIONS FOR SURE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 70s, LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE
