Let's take you back outside your Fox 29 weather authority Doylestown.
Good afternoon to you. 60 degrees, a little cooler,
but overall not too bad of a day considering we could
be seeing some of the coldest temperatures of the season ahead.
Kathy Orr, we want you to tell us it's coming, but we wish it wasn't snow.
We wish it was 80 degrees and sunny.
Yeah, we do. I know.
And you know, when it was 102 on the 4th of July,
I remember saying to everybody,
listen, when it's cold and snowy, you're going to be saying,
remember that 102 degree day? That wasn't so bad, was it?
It's all relative, but we get our sweaters out, right?
We get the boots out, get the shovels out,
working on the winter forecast.
Yeah, I mean, it's all coming together,
guys, and it's getting colder out there.
Fifty-nine degrees in Philadelphia and a lot of wind.
Some of this self-destructive sunshine
we're seeing here, some cold weather.
Clouds coming in. Temperatures in the 50s,
but we'll make it to 60 today.
In Philadelphia, we're 59, 59 in Wilmington,
63 in Dover with a little sunshine.
Cape May at 62.
You have to love how nice it's been even down
the shore this fall, even into November.
These land breezes keep the temperatures
very consistent from north to south.
But the winds gusting to 30 in Wilmington,
29-mile-an-hour gusts in Philadelphia
and 32-mile-an-hour gusts in Allentown.
So it is definitely impacting what it feels like out there.
During the day today, sunny, seasonable,
gusty winds at least into the afternoon.
Those winds diminish after sunset
because you lose that daytime heating and that daytime energy.
Sunset.
At 10 minutes to 5.
As we go through the day, you'll notice the winds will be slacking off.
By 5, 6 o'clock, we'll be in that 10
to 15 mile an hour range for a gust.
And that's pretty benign.
Just wear a coat if you're going out.
Late tonight, overnight lows in the 40s.
We should be at 41.
We'll be at 44.
So that's not too bad.
It's a few degrees above average.
And tomorrow, going well above average.
The average high is 59 degrees at this date in November.
And we'll be at 67.
This is going to feel like a gorgeous day.
It's a southwesterly wind, 60s sunshine, not much wind.
It's going to feel warm, relatively speaking.
We talked about this before.
We have a quiet few days with high pressure dominating our weather.
Low pressure moving
in from the west doesn't look like a big deal, but it...
Could develop into a nor'easter by late Thursday night into Friday.
That is the big question.
If it does, it will bring some rain,
some wind, and some coastal impacts.
If it doesn't, it's still going to pull down some cold air.
And guys, that means we could even have
a little wet snow in the Poconos.
It would be the first potential snow of the season.
And it's not too early.
We've had Halloween snow, so it's definitely not too early.
That was the dramatic pause we were giving you,
Kathy, but it's inevitable.
Here we go.
Thanks, Kathy.
We'll see you again in just a bit.
