Goodness, finally not only weakening little bit, but also just moving out of here. So were sort of sitting between systems, low pressure what we have as a noreaster, now High Pressure trying to take it place, typically High Pressure bridges you fair weather, exactly what will happen here. So little bit of transition day you could technically call it. That will but real good trade off. By comparison certainly what we were dealt yesterday with the snow and the slick travel and the poor visibility, it is all just getting better. And i can guarantee everybody a dry day today. So heres whats left of the nor east it, if you recall from yesterday, still had real nice well defined spin to it. At this point there is still a spin to it, but it has no where near the moisture that it has this same time yesterday. And because of that, even though were still going to have a little brisk day between systems like i mends sharks youre not going to have to deal with any additional or residual moisture out of this. High pressure is in fact lead to go nice clear sky across the midwest, tennessee valley, all headed our way here, so with time, this forecast just get nicer and nicer actually milder and milder, at least for the standards every mid to late december.

As i said, it is still going to be a tad brisk for us out there. We will take t meanwhile by tomorrow, more sunshine expected. Even more expected on sunday, as High Pressure really just sort of settles in over top of our area. So that leads to lighter winds, brighter skies, even little bit of miler pattern with time. Take you through the rest whatever this afternoon has in store, flirt with 40 degrees basically, kind of the same temperature profile the last few days, but weve had precipitation to track there is time we do not, again, in the, that bright yellow ball of sunshine in the sky.
