>> time for accuweather. meteorologist cecily tynan keeping an eye on the week. going feel more like november but perhaps some sunshine,

though. >> exactly. and today definitely felt like fall. temperatures in the 50's this afternoon but this photo shows what we were dealing with, blue skies not a cloud in the sky today and temperatures definitely not only cooler, also dealing with some gusty winds. philadelphia reporting a peak wind gust of 34 miles per hour, allentown 30, trenton 24, wilmington 29 and in atlantic city a peak wind gust of 33 miles per hour. so, these winds are out of the northwest behind a cold front that moved through last night that brought us that good soaking rain and this is what's pulling down cooler air. philadelphia currently 52 degrees. allentown 47. wilmington 46. and millville currently 48 degrees. so, satellite6 along with action radar is showing if you're looking for clouds don't look here because we have clear skies, all thanks to this high pressure that's building in. and what this high pressure will do overnight is really slacken the winds and with the clear skies we'll have good radiational cooling. any of the heat really absorbed by the earth from the sun during the day goes

straight into the atmosphere so overnight lows dropping down into the upper 20's and upper 30's. seasonably cool. in the meantime this is what they're dealing with in the midwest. very strong low pressure is bringing some heavy snow across the midwest. sioux falls south dakota reporting more than a foot of snow already and that swath of six to 12-inches will continue to push to the east just west of chicago but this low pressure is not heading our way. it will be cutting up across the great lakes into canada, so i know you may be disappointed but we're in the going to be getting the snow but we'll be getting the cooler air on sunday and monday. ahead of that system tomorrow at the linc as temple takes on the memphis tigers looking really nice. lots of sunshine, kickoff temperature 50 degrees, by the fourth quarter 54. winds out of the east at five to 10 miles per hour. then of course we have philadelphia marathon weekend tomorrow morning for the 8k at 7:30 in the morning i'll be running, it will be cool, little bit breezy but the wind

is not a big concern, 39 degrees. maybe wear arm warmers and gloves and sunday for the marathon it will be breezy winds out of the west up to about 20 miles per hour. not quite as cool though at 7 o'clock 44. by noon 47 degrees so a good idea if you're running the marathon dress in throw away layers you can take off as you warm up and anything that you discard goes to charity so it's really a good thing to do. tomorrow 54 degrees, cold front moves through saturday night. could bring us a round of some showers in the wee hours of the morning on sunday. generally coming through dry, a chilly wind 50 degrees. monday the core of that cool air, 46. it's one day, though, up to 50 on tuesday. wednesday for traveling looking great, 54 degrees. and i know rick williams is trying to decide what to wear for the thanksgiving day parade and adam will have that forecast in the seven day. >> i've decideed. >> you've decideed. >> a vest with no shirt. >> wow. >> that's scary. >> yeah, no.
