worse just yet, but only three days of measurable rain here in philadelphia. and the monthly total for those three days is not even a half inch of rain. we can really use some rain. and it looks like maybe later in the forecast, talking maybe leading into december, that possibility does return, but for now, don't bank on it. now, let's take a look what's going on here with our eyewitness weather watch ers, check in with them, as well, temperatures currently kind of uniform, cold. you know? we do have some pretty decent win though coming in here, and let's check out s reports. >> westerly winds flow, west chester, 32 miles per hour, and that's sustained wind flow, guys. 25 miles per hour from jason in middletown. even in the teens, even if it is coming out of the southwest, for fran in nottingham, kennel in willingboro, still will feel so much colder because it is just chilly outside as it is. phil chestnut section, 15 miles per hour, and the list goes on, generally finding the teens, few of you are a little bit less when it comes to that wind flow, but
