A few areas that snow. 31 in reading, 37 in whitehall. 38 in easton. These numbers are a good bit higher than they were at this time yesterday. And the trend is definitely going to continue. 36 for the high yesterday. About 46 today, 56 tomorrow, and then were leveling off in the 50s all of the way through tuesday. And then we get a quick shot of colder air. Why do i feel it will warm up so much. 53 in roanoke, virginia right now. There is no bitterly cold air in the country for a change. And it will stay that way for awhile. We have that january thaw here and you know the rest of the mont, maybe into the beginning of february were on the milder side. Were dry not only around here, but across a good bit of the country. So we dont have any issues with really nasty west virginather c at least not over the weekend. The prettiest day of the weekend, the clouds will increase on sunday, not as chilly in the morning, sunday, as it will be tomorrow morning. The clouds will take the temperature down a few degrees on sunday. That is still way above normal for this time of year. Now the clouds coming in from the west, but not until sunday. Saturdays that a few little blips, now we see it, sunday evening still pretty far away and thats when the eagles are playing so thats why i dont think well be dealing with any kind of rain for the game. Just cloudy and the clouds will prevent the temperature from dropping a lot once it gets dark. Of course theyre playing the game in the dark. Nor this time of the year it would drop really fast. Here we are with the ten day on ten. Monday, a chance of showers, monday night into Tuesday Morning we could get heavy rain and then we get a shot here, wednesday into thursday and friday morning of some colder air before we warm up next week.
