aren't we, for that parade? >> yes. we will definitely be feeling that wind machine nicole, because the winds will be cranking. we had low pressure leave here yesterday. high pressure is building in. that pressure gradient is tightening. and, boy that is going to be funneling these wind. they'll be dom willing -- coming out of the north wells. it is mild enough out there already this morning. this is 39 degrees, up in the poconos, it will start melting even some of what they have up in the poconos. but, the wind is going to be what you remember about the weather today. temperatures, and maybe it started little bit on the mild side this morning, 44 in philadelphia, 42 trenton, 43 wilmington, 34 up in the poconos, and then we have 41 down in millville, 39 in wildwood. so the temperatures will not be the issue today. they'll get to about 50 degrees this afternoon but with the strong winds i think you can fairly assume that it will feel colder than that. to the north this is our old departed storm system, we're going to be finding some clouds, especially as we move on through the afternoon. so partly sunny starts to the day. mostly cloudy, we end the day. at the present time we have sustained winds about 10 miles an hour, coming straight out of the west, but later on today, they will be coming out of the northwest. they will start to really pick up in speed and in intensity and go right through this evening. so we're going to be finding our temperatures today barely getting to the 50 degrees mark. and then, by the time we get to tomorrow, maybe we find these temperatures getting dare we even say probably just 60 but it would be nice if it got couple of degrees higher. i just wanted to get to that 06 degrees mark, because then this blue line means that we will be finding temperatures dropping again they'll be in the 50's by tuesday you might pick up a brief shower, very light one, early on tuesday morning. otherwise, the colder air is back there and we will be find that coming in, as women. future weather not bad to start the day. by the time we get to 9:00 this morning, we are looking at couple of clouds over the area. by the time we get to 2:00 this afternoon few more scattered around. you find few more at 3:00 this afternoon, then, just pay attention to the air coming up. notice, these clouds, coming up in this direction. that's that warm air starting to drive up here. we'll finds 60 degrees, or so, tomorrow. so that looks like maybe it will be the warmest day and maybe the nicest day of the week. now, by tuesday i mention that that front comes through here. should be light precipitation if you see any. but this is tuesday morning early, early. so just right after monday night as the front comes through, and before, actually before the front comes through, we get this precipitation. and then that front will be following, and that's going to be dropping our temperatures mid-week. the future wind gust, 25-mile per hour wind gust, can be fully expected as we go through this morning. by later on this morning, they are in the 30-mile per hour range. and some areas, you will be finding winds gust to go around 40 miles an hour this afternoon. so just expect in every location, that it is going to be a very windy day. temperatures about 50 degrees, at the shore 48, and in the poconos, 42 degrees, it is mostly cloudy there. it is windy everywhere, i keep underscoring that, because that's really going to be what you will have to dress for today. even you yes even you he's going have to hold onto his hat, our little leprochan today at 1:00, partly sunny 50 degrees, great day for the parade, it will be dry and they can do all of their irish dancing on dry pavement. still, they will be tossed around a little by the wind, 50 degrees tonight, we drop down to 35 degrees, partly cloudy still windy and then as we go through tomorrow, the winds die down. temperatures come up, 06 degrees. tuesday maybe the early shower otherwise 52, and then look at that, nicole, wednesday's high is only 42. only 42 degrees. and we're below freezing at night again thursday, 45, friday, 48 maybe some wet weather that day. next

who to pick up based on that score. not surprising, since riders can't see their score unless they ask a driver. uber says feedback is a two way street. meant to curb disrespectful threatening or unsafe behavior. but the feedback doesn't include any details so riders like emily are left to guess why theirs are solo. she suspect it is because she's not so perky on those 4:00 a.m. rides to work.

will be on that float that mostly what you will be dealing with, the winds. we will be finding very windy day, and already we've got some clouds out there this morning, but we will find some breaks in that, and then few more clouds coming by later on this afternoon. it is not cloudy though in one place, look at this, down in rehoboth beach. looks beautiful down there. yesterday morning, it was rainy, foggy, awful but great start to the day down in rehoboth beach. everybody's got comfortable temperatures out there this morning. we're in the 40's, which is a pleasure to see temperatures above the freezing mark in all locations at this point. the ocean even warm willing up, 36 degrees right now. we have temperatures to the north, 41 quakertown, 39 willow grovement mt. holly 44 degrees. pottstown, four; we jump many all over the areament some of the clouds are out there our storm system from yesterday is off to the north gone, except that it is here, high pressure building in, the difference between the two like two neighbors that can't stand one another gets pretty noisy on the block. that's going to be what's happening here. as we watch the winds funneling down between these two competing pressure systems. winds right now not that bad. out of the west 10 miles an hour but they will be picking up already starting to turn little out of the northwest through the poconos and the winds speed picking up there. we will will be find that throughout the rest of the area. but, the temperatures today will be about 50 degrees. we did that yesterday as well. today it comes with the wind, and then tomorrow, if you can just hang on till tomorrow, we've got temperatures that could be in the low 60s 60 degrees maybe let's just make sure the weather cooperates for this, all of that is in advance of this next system that's coming in here. so in advance of this cold front, that's that comes through monday night early tuesday, we will be finding these temperatures really nice tomorrow. then, by the time we get to tuesday, just a brief shower possible in the morning no big deal, associated with this front, after that, the temperatures do fall down. now, future weather we are looking at conditions that are going to be not bad today few clouds around, again, it is the winds that you will notice. and then tomorrow, we do start to pick up few clouds, coming up, and then, by the time we get to tuesday, do you see very light shower scattered around early in the morning early tuesday morning. and then it gets out of here. we will be left with conditions that aren't bad on tuesday. but it will be breezy once again. now, the future winds 25 miles an hour, 30 miles an hour, they could go as high in some spots as 40 miles an hour, and you can see that through the poconos. but, just know, it will be a windy day in every single location, all day even as we head on into the evening. our temperatures for this next week well, they're great tomorrow but as we go through the rest of the week, they'll be below average. we get another shot of cold air in here. not so much here today today's just again those winds. fifty, philadelphia, shore 48, the poconos 42 degrees, the leprochans will be dancing around, and they'll be dancing around with the winds again the sustained 20 to 25 miles per hour gust to go 40 miles an hour. our winds the problem today? tonight, they die down after midnight, it will still be wind think evening though, 35 degrees, and then, over the next couple every days, we've got some nice conditions coming up tomorrow, some clouds but 60 degrees, tuesday, 52, maybe that early shower, and then wednesday, a lot colder, 42 degrees, and we hang in the 40's after that. i have a question for you. do you like making something simple
