Andrew spencer, Eyewitness News on the cw philly. 7 14 right now, lets get traffic and weather together. Katy . Good morning, erika, just amazing the power whatever Mother Nature can do. But, as far as were concerned, things are definitely quieting down for us, for today, as well as into tomorrow. Now, yesterday marks the passage of official passage of cold front. Really kicked in the winds in its wake here in Atlantic City, mount pocono, philadelphia, all three spots reported 40mile per hour gusts or more, in allentown, just shy of 40mile per hour gust reported, and my hairstyle can definitely a test to that is correct i was up in allentown visiting family myself yesterday. Very blustery day if you were outside, you certainly know. That meanwhile, storm scan3, empty, at this point, High Pressure building in nicely here, it will keep skies nice and clear, too, so, there is a gorgeous sunrise, thats getting underway. Meanwhile, well off in the distance, if you see just beyond the three, storm scan3, little hint of moisture, thats the very combination of a frontal boundery that will eventually cross through. And knock our temperatures back to reality, essentially, right now it is colder than yesterday this same time. But it is technically still above average with temperatures generally low, mid 30s, upper 30s, the colds he is air certainly out, there but well off to the northwest, and it is pent up across the canadian prairie. Does appear the jet stream will keep this coldest air out of our hair, so, with High Pressure, and the next front situated the way theyll be, we keep above average warmth for the next three days before that cold front crosses. What did i tell you . Look at the pretty colors. Again, we have about six, seven minutes before the sun will actually be visible over the horizon, but the light of day and the clear sky really shedding some beautiful colors over the sky scape this morning for us around the board, not just in kutztown, but pretty much everywhere else. Ooh degrees our expected high today. Not bad for late december standards. Normal high about 42 degrees or so. So dot math, above average there, and we can expect to see that sunshine brightly and the clear skies hang on for us, right through tomorrow. Now, come sunday, it is still mild, because it is again marking the arrival and passage of the cold front. So by monday, that cold air will have caught up to us, and ill gave you a hint, back down to seasonable territory, generally low mid 40s, the expectation it, could be colder. And last weekends there is same time . Sure thing. You know traffic and weather together, hands in hand right now, katie. Skipping right along. Skipping right along. Through a meadow, right.

Atlantic city expressway, garden state parkway, everything, looking beautiful, so move now to the map. Notice speed censors are high up in the 50s, 55 the average really on all of the majors, if you are traveling, on the roosevelt boulevard, pa turnpike, northeast extension, it is beautiful, it is really, really nice out there. Unfortunately, however, if you are traveling in delaware, route 13, northbound, just beyond route 40, we do have a dent which is compromising two left lanes. So, if is where you are headed, try to avoid it if you can. Two, just give yourself touch more time as you maneuver through the area. Traveling mass transit, some are wrong on modified schedule. So just be minds full of that. Nick snow. Good to know, vittoria, thank you. Some shoppers are headed out early to try to get great after christmas sales.

Danielle nottingham with more on what you need to know before you dick in. Tis the season for turkey, all of the trim willing, cookies, and pies. We often end up with enough leftovers fors weeks. But it doesnt mean you should eat them that long. Registered dietition Lindsey Malone from the cleveland clinic, warns, bacteria can grow on foods, and can make you sick. The general rule of thumb is somethings been in your frig for longer than, you know, three, four days, you want to it is it. Also on the toss list, anything thats selfserved, like chips, crackers, dip, and nuts. And anything left sitting out. For that longer than twohour period, bacteria is growing. And it doubles just about every 20 minutes. When it comes to reheating holiday leftovers, experts say, the microwave is not the best option. Warming food in the oven is recommended, because it heats more evenly, and thoroughly. You want to make sure that youre re heating them to internal temperature of approximately 165 degrees. And so what that is going to do is it will kill some of the bacteria, that could have had an opportunity to grow, when it was, you know, sitting. G out in your table or cooling off period. Just because the leftovers still looks good or smells good doesnt mean it cant make you sick. If bacteria is lingering, you wont be able to see it, smell it, or taste it. Danielle nottingham, Eyewitness News on the cw philly. And oh, the leftovers. Lets check in with katie. You know . Just put it in the oven. I have to tell you, im with you, tough to turn them down. This is great looking forecast today, tomorrow, High Pressure on our side, worse of any chill pent up in canada. Nice clear sky. Obviously little thin vale of cloud cover, from Northern New England upstate new york back in toward western pennsylvania, but, it is really not going to affect us at all. I expect walltowall sunshine in fact here in our area. And again, it is all thanks to High Pressure building in place. You have nice large dome of it, little h on therefore indication, but we do have the combination at least of a frontal boundery. You can see some of the snow, it is very light at this point, but that will eventually be the next weather feature, that moves through, and changes our pattern little bit here. So we walk you through the timing herement mile air, still in place. Today, tomorrow, and even sunday, as we start to see that next cold front coming through. So todays just beautiful, lighting winds, slackening wind. Keep the sunshine, saturday also looking pretty darn nice, mid 50s expected, but you can see something waiting off in the wings here, and thats the next front that comes through on sunday, it is going to trigger some rain showers, but we do keep you mild until it crosses through. And big heads up into monday, this front actually not necessarily going to be right here, but will be a little bit more removed off the south. And there is the area of low pressure developing along it, depending where all of that sets up. We have the possibility to see some rain or snow showers. Just chance right now. We will certainly let you know as things evolve. Meanwhile, take a look what we do know will happen sunday with the front coming throughment triggers some showers. Certainly more clouds, as we start the day off. Likely see those showers move through around midday, but, it looks like it is just rain this time around for everybody. Maybe lingering shower or two beyond that point into the early afternoon. Then we should start to clear things out for you headed into that night. As we check in with the eyewitness weather watchers, no clouds in site really. Very limited cloud cover in fact in mountain, pa, helen davis sent in beautiful sunrise picture. Just seeing absolutely beautiful views from our eastfacing camera shots here all morning long. Just great sunrise, temperature readings meanwhile have been reported, to be a lot colder than they were yet at this same time, robert, langhorne, Atlantic City, willow grove, atglenn, all in the 30s. Winds light ends up a lot. Into the teens, 20s, even 30s, throughout the course of the day yesterday. Very persistent. Still, a westerly component to that wind by the way. But it is easing up for us. Lets take you out to the slopes here. If you are a skier and ski bunny and you want to hit the slopes, i say today and tomorrow looking fantastic for. That will little milder perhaps than the ski resort would be hoping for. But nice weather to hit the slopes for sure until you hit sunday. Thats when the rain showers and clouds move back in. Your eyewitness weather seven day forecast looks good. We keep things nice and mild for you right through sunday with the temperatures, but watching for the showers to pick up then throughout the day sunday, come monday, temperatures actually take their hit. Just dose of reality though, 43 degrees, way more typical of where we should be. We have frankly, very spoiled with these temperatures as of late. I think youre right about that. But i think we deserve t were good people. We work hard. There you go. You snow well take t you just say thank you.
