Here at home, we are looking at dry weather, we have no rain because High Pressure will be regaining control and setting up shop and start paying us a a nice long visit. It bode well for the forecast as a result. Storm scan three is tranquil as well. We had rain overnight and at this point even the cloud are thin ago way nicely here. A sign of things to come. Storm system retreating, High Pressure regaining control and that has allowed at least things to quiet down across the the mid to lower mid sip i river and val that is surround that area. But for now, yeah, we can bank on High Pressure and quieter weather those locations we were talking about arent dealing with additional storms. At least in the just yet. But because, we do have have High Pressure currently starting to build in and chillier pattern unfolding it means temperatures are set to drop off here with a much more seasonal beginning to the new year. We are closer to average when it comes to the valleys on the thermometer. Lets talk temperatures. We are definitely off to what we would call for this time of the year a mild start, frankly, our normal high is 41. We are at 48 degrees. We will not see a ton of extra degrees get tack on. We expect lower 50s in the city and we are in the lower 50s in millville, ac, dover, delaware, lower 40s in mount pocono, also not terrible but because we have more northwesterly component to the wind flow even though it is not a windy day, that north west flow ushers cooler air in and keeps it level through the course of the day that transition as High Pressure takes the place of the low. Behind this you can see colder air to work with in the State College and buffalo, cleveland for example. So that is what we can eventually look ahead to, for now though you can still see telltale signs of some damp boards out here at rehoboth, we are at 51 degrees there so still off to what we would call for late december a nice mild beginning, however, again dont expect too much more degrees tacked on to that high.
