We will warming up a little bit over next several days. That humidity slowly creeping up as well. You look outside right now, you do see some high clouds passing through the area. Still seeing another batch of thicker portion of this working it is way in that you the area. But as we go through the afternoon we will continue to see mainly the scattered clouds working there way over the area. And kind of interesting if you look clouds moving in two different directions. High clouds are all moving from the west towards the east. And then if you look an at these clouds over here these are low level clouds moving from east towards west surface winds are still coming in from more of easterly that easterly flow means were not tapping cooler air from north bring more mild air across state.

Even though it will work et cetera way down over us, the big push of the cooler air is not going to be down over us. Its going to basically just shift right on to the east. There is cooler air across the northern half the country. This front basically divides that cooler air to the north of us to the more mild air over the Southern Tier of states. Now watch future cast. Watch that front just working as we go through the next couple of days, on that warm side. We will getting into mid 80s. Were slowly bringing that humidity up. As we go through the next several days. But as it pushes to our south just washes out. Notice the wind direction is not from a northerly direction. Its an easterly flow across state.
