difference in the atmosphere. it's going to be a drastically cooler day today. there's not a whole lot going on. we're widely zoomed out over the northeast right now but you can kind of see where the wind is coming from, the lake effect rain and snow showers over new york state an indication the rains are coming in over the north and west and that's the cool air filtering into the area. we're still in the 50s right now, it's not too bad. you can see how cool it is to the north and west. it's only 45 in state college, 45 in buffalo and 45 in scranton and those cooler temperatures are moving south and eastward and will be upon us through the next few days as the jet stream sinks to the south and all this cold air, you can see the deep blue and purple over canada, that gets brought down into the northea northeast. we've been close to average here today and yesterday, not the case for the next few days. average high 64. we'll be lucky to get to the mid
