West at 10 miles an hour. Were 12 degrees colder than we were at this time yesterday. We are in the 40s in many of the suburbs already. 51 in philadelphia. Remember, the average high is only 43.

We what were going to have here is High Pressure keeping us dry not only today, tonight, into tomorrow, into saturday, then we wait for this cold front to approach. Ahead of the front, we have a mild southerly flow. So through saturday, nice and dry. Lot of sunshine. Then for sunday, the front comes in. Rain showers. Its going to be mild still on sunday. But that front comes through, brings colder air in, and then we watch for this area of low pressure to ride along the front and possibly bring moisture in on monday. And at least in parts of the area, it will be cold enough for either snow or some sort of a wintery mix and then theres another chance of some wintery precipitation by new years eve and new years day. Thats, of course, way farther away so theres more uncertainty with that one. The colder air, though, that is going to be moving in as we go into next week. The mild air thats with this, thats going back out into the ocean. And the arctic air makes its return to the maps as we go into the middle and the end of next week. Thats a good bit of the country in the arctic air again. Totally different kind of weather pattern that what weve seen in december.

Still relatively mild. About 10 degrees above average for this time of the year and much less wind. So a lot of people are going to enjoy that. Also going to enjoy saturday. But those who enjoy winter, you got something to root for. Weve got some showers coming in sunday and then the colderer ee comes in. Rain to a wintery mix possible on monday.
