Kind of like the nice weather has been doing for us. Right now 64 degrees in philadelphia. 60 in allentown. 65 still in reading. Very comfortable for this time of year. 52 in wildwood.

But theres that book door cold front. Look at the difference after 67 today. Boston lucky to get in the 50s tomorrow. New york back to skate and we dropped from 82 to 74 so it does start to bring little cooler air in. Well start to feel the brunt of that cooler air on wednesday. But still 82 so far above average that even once it cools down close to where we should be this time of the year. Here comes the front. Radar here but nothing making it as far as showers are concerned. You can see the blue shading that shows the increase in winds and tomorrow late morning into the early afternoon the winds do really pick up.
