the weather and four years ago can you believe it, hurricane sandy was barreling toward us. to me it feels like it was just yesterday but same time time just stood still. it was just a whirlwind trying to recover from that storm. we will talk about what has gone on since then and also give you a totally opposite forecast, coming up here this weekend as we mark that four year anniversary. lets go outside first, toe skies scan three which is showing a empty, but very quiet view of ocean city. and, just actually about 17 miles away, give or take from where sandy ended up making her land fall in 2012. but it is very tranquil right now, and although, you do have the breeze and that will be noticeable throughout the rest of the day. the lets take a look back in time at visible satellite loop from where sandy moved in. you can see it start to go dark because visible satellite where light of day is very much a part of why you cane the cloud rolling in here as that storm made its land fall

and officially made land fall october 29th, 2012 at brigantine new jersey 7:30 in the evening as a post tropical system at land fall. because of the way it moved on shore and brought so much devastation the national hurricane center, modified warning definition down the road. second most costly u.s. storm ever on record with $75 billion worth of damage, and as a result, as you might understand sandy will no longer, ever be given to another storm. it was replaced by the name sarah. meanwhile back here at home locally, current, here and now forecast looking so much different, obviously we have a cold front as, brought in decent rain about a half inch plus for many of you but that has long since cleared. high pressure has taken its place and it settled in for us tomorrow. we will rebound to 70 degrees in the sunshine. gorgeous day. make an excuse to get outside. sunday not that bad. there is a cold front that brings a late day shower, somewhat moisture starved front but does the job of knocking temperatures back to

the point on halloween day we are back in the sunshine but it is a lot will cooler. we will go from the mid 70's to only 60 on monday itself but in the sunshine. the at the moment though quick look at area temperatures, 51 currently at the era port, feels like 52, but we are up at 48 in trenton and allentown. not expecting too much movement on the thermometer give you another 5 degrees at most, in philadelphia. fifty-two outside middletown ship high school this cape may courthouse. beautiful view overlooking that area. we have our friday football frenzy game of the week taking place between council rock north and council rock south, very big rivalry i'm told and wind will be, still whipping for that. if you are going out to any high school football game tonight i suggest having a blanket to put over your knees. it will be on the chilly side in the stand. meanwhile moving forward in the eyewitness heather seven day we go from the upper 50's, gusty wind to, a really nice little dose of, say, early fall, really comfortable out there. we will get to 74 on sunday. and then, creepy, cooler is

what we're calling it. we went with spooky sunshine last few days but we change it a little bit for you today. note that is change at least wind tapers off and sun will shine. it looks great for trick or treating plans and then we will rebound again by wednesday, we are back in the 70es a. really nice forecast all and all. >> for this time of the year. >> not bad. >> not bad at all. >> november already. >> yes. >> we will take it. >> still hitting the 70's. >> speaking of halloween this is too creepy for me but how would you like to sleep in count dracula's castle. >> yeah, no. >> it turns out people actually would though, more than 80,000 people have entered air b and b contest to stay in the vampire's cast until transylvania, in romania. it is first time in 640 year history the castle will open up to the public for an overnight stay. >> you will arrive in transylvania by horse driven carriage, at night, we will go to sleep, with only the sound of wolves how long outside the

republican party bosses looked to find brian fitzpatrick. nearly three thousand miles - that's how far away they "hand-picked" him to run for his brother's seat. but all mike and brian fitzpatrick share is a name. brian fitzpatrick supports a radical republican agenda, including defunding planned parenthood, just like donald trump. a hundred and sixty miles down the road in dc, brian fitzpatrick will put his party first, not pennsylvania families. house majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising.
