Weather Authority: Sunny, cool Sunday before mid-60s return next week

It is a chilly Saturday. I'm not sure I'm ready for this. Thank We are with you until 8 o'clock tonight. Thanks for being with us. I'm Dawn Timoney. Hopefully you're someplace nice and cozy and warm. We have our Drew Anderson in-house. Lots of times we send him out and about to check out what's going on in the area. But, Drew, we're glad to have you with us in studio tonight because I know you have a special something for us. you. But, first of all, fill us in on the weather. I can't believe how... How cold it was when I stepped outside to take my dogs for a walk. I had on the mittens, the winter coat, earmuffs, and my hood up. All right, now, did the dogs have the mittens on? No. All right, good. They didn't have their winter coats on today. Well, because, you know, the mittens are good for when there's rock salt and things like that. But, Dawn, you're not kidding. It is cold. Well, come on into the Fox 29 Weather Authority Weather Center. I'm going to throw another log on the fire up here. All right, that's what we've got to do. That was an homage. There was a late-night talk show guy who would always throw a fake log on a fake fire. I always thought that was funny. But seriously, you want the fire going because it's been so chilly. My mom's house, you know this is how it always goes. On one of the colder days, the HVAC system's not working. She woke up to that this morning. No heat there. So I think she's all blanketed up. So here's what's crazy. Not only is it chilly out, but you remember all that bad weather we had just the other day? So, look at this. This is in Delco. This is in Parkside. It's right by an elementary school. It's up the road from Chester, by the way. And you know what's unique about this? This is the hail and it's still there. My friend took this picture yesterday. Another friend of mine just went there. I just got his picture and I'll show you his picture. And this is still sitting there right now. All that hail from Thursday in Delco. That is wild. You think that's snow, right? No, no, no. So let's get into the weather today. Here's what's going on. So we'll look at our current conditions. I'll take you live around the region and I'll show you what it's like. The clouds have hung out all day, but over the next couple of hours, the skies will be clearing. We're taking a live look over the Xbox. Jen Fred calls that the Xbox. I thought that's a great name. Let's roll with that. All lit up in the orange. And anyway, so temperature-wise, the chill is still in the air. Take a look at those numbers in the 40s. That's all we got today. The clouds kept us in the 40s. If we have some sun, we would have been in the 50s. Now tomorrow, we get the sun, so we get the 50s. But it's the low end of the 50s, so the chill is not going anywhere. Here's your temperatures over the next couple hours as the sky is clear. We're just sliding down through the 40s, eventually down into the 30s. But here's what's interesting about tonight. No frost. And I'll tell you why. There'll be a little bit of a breeze left. Not a strong one like we had earlier today, but enough of just a gentle breeze that that stops the frost. In order to get frost, you need two things. Clear skies, which is the reason why we didn't have frost this morning. And the second thing you need is a light wind. So we're only checking one of those boxes off by the end of the night. Bottom line is, it's still cold again tomorrow morning. Winter cold weather when you first step out the door. But you see what's average for this time of the year? This is pretty typical for this time of the year. So tomorrow morning, let's get some breakfast. And oh, this picture has a little something to do with why I'm in studio tonight. We're going to be talking about that next hour. So when you're having your breakfast, perhaps a little yogurt with granola. These are your tapatures, but look at that icon. The sun is back, and we keep it all day. But you know what else is back tomorrow? The wind, it is windy again, so that'll just push that cold air in your face when you step outside. The wind gusts will be just as strong, but hey, at least it's a sunny day, and the temperatures do work their way into the low 50s as we blow some more leaves off the trees that still have them. You see that picture right there in Montgomery County, still a couple leaves left. So there's the wind speed, mainly around 15 for most of the afternoon, but it'll gust up to 25 here and there. And planning ahead, it is good. Hot, cider weather, because the chill is staying in the air, but the sun is also here to stay. We're still windy on Monday, but we'll lose the wind on Tuesday, and then the wind stays away as the sun really sets up in that seven day. We've got some great weather in the seven day. That sun just sticks around, and temperature-wise, we're going to slowly keep going up and up and up. But not too far. So today was the coldest day of the week in the seven day. We're going to get to the mid 60s by the end of the upcoming week and upcoming school week. And what's going to happen is there's this huge area of high pressure that just sits over us that brings sunny skies, but it also stops any wind. So that's why we have some pretty nice weather. This time of the year, by the way, traditionally is pretty windy. Usually get a lot of wind when you're transitioning from the main seasons. I'm talking when you're going from summer to winter or opposite. Winter to summer. So November is oftentimes one of our windiest months. The other would be March into early April. So it is typical to have these windy days and there'll be more of those to come. It's just one of those things that happens as you transition from the hot to the cold. And that's really what creates wind is when you put hot and cold together, it causes wind. And it's kind of where we're at. I mean, think how much colder it got the last couple of days after it was mild. And that's part of the reason why it's been a little windy.
