hazardous conditions. spoke to my cousin yesterday. i don't think she was looking forward to another day with the kids in the house. oh, get them out. >> too much of a good thing. >> no kidding. >> so you were saying, katie, apparently the same storm that the reason it is so winy? >> the reason it is winnie, yes, basically what happens, you know how when you walk down the street, down broad, for example, between the skyscrapers, feels win year there, it is because of the just way the gradient sets up, almost like mother nature's winds tunnel setting up. area of low pressure departing, high that's trying to build n so inbetween all that can happen is that win is just keyed up. that's part of the reason it is so darn gusty outside right now, but we showed you the high wind warning earlier, wind advisory to get tonight so the win continues to be our main running time, how much we do have some quieter weather down the pike here, also nice warm up to go along with it, so let's get right to it, we take you to the here and now, parkway library camera, and we zoom in on old glory here
12:20 pm
affected by the win blowing out, if you look closely the clouds are moving through, creating and casting shadows, as they passover the city, city sky cape here. but, again, go neck, what you see here is a storm that's really wrapping itself up here, even brought in couple of snow showers across the poconos, maybe still see more clouds, few snowflakes up that way. but, as that is departing and high pressure trying to take its place, that tunnel, that wind tunnel effect gets set up. that's why it is so darn blustery outside. but notice, it is completely chilly air across the rest of the eastern half of the united state. expect more of the same. quiet conditions come tomorrow. for now that win still cranking, cranking very well. so, wind advisory again posted for the southeast part of pennsylvania, northern half of new jersey, it is that high wind warning for the rest of you. no one is immune in support. really the only difference between the advisory versus the warning how strong will those winds actually be, and
12:21 pm
you could still see pretty much anywhere, 55 to 60-mile per hour goes cents before it is said and done. future wind speeds, primarily still out of the northwest, so they are coming from colder place. which is going to make it feel that much chillier, also so strong really going to be hugging that winter coat more tightly. so, by 6:00 p.m., we should, in most spots, have dropped below 20 miles per hour sustained winds speeds. again your future sustained wind speeds, not gusts, gusts will remain higher than this, but in terms of what's sustained, gets a lot calmer for us here, that includes into the overnight hours. so come tomorrow, as you're maybe waking to up breakfast in bed, maybe planning a night out with your honey, it looks good here. right now feels awfully chilly more like 31 degrees at philadelphia international airport, flirting with 40 at this hour. so dot mental math in your head. probably have to knock ten, up to 15 degrees off, for feels-like value, take a look at the actual air temperature. meanwhile granted feels chilly .
12:22 pm
so far pretty mild month of february. 9:00 -- nine of the last ten days above average. eight specially incredibly warm. that's when we had the records that we broke. then the next day ended up with snow rolling through. but meantime, today, it is just very blustery. that continues to be the headline. forty-three the expected high. we drop it back to 27 later tonight. thankfully the winds will be diminishing, we take it forward here, over the course of the seven day, it looks sunny for your honey on the have a end teen day tomorrow. nice bright sunshine, lighter winds, really nice day all-in-all. so no excuses not to get that present for rahel, jim donovan. >> why is everyone -- the expectations here. >> i did promise you a warm up on the weekends, look at that, low 50's saturday, sunday. >> so katie is delivering a little present for me. >> i have to back up my girl this side of the ding. >> we're not married. do you understand that? >> a sky after thousand drones, quite a site.
