yesterday in the lehigh valley we were talking the 20s. this is a huge difference from what we were seeing 24 hours ago. on top of the temperatures being different, we're tracking changing conditions with rain expected to move in and the winds kicking up. wind should be at 10 to 20 miles an hour especially with the cold front moving through late this morning through early this afternoon. those gusts though picking up 25 to 30 miles an hour and that's something we're starting to see. so it is going to be a bit on the windy side today throughout some of the area. looking at your radar and satellite, there's the clouds moving in ahead of the rain that's tracking our direction. we've had this tight view for a while. now we're starting to see rain come into the picture. this is going to move through the next couple of hours. it will start from the west and track to the east. it will pass though as we get to the afternoon. here's the three-day outlook. temperature today 62 degrees in parts of philadelphia. way warmer than average because we're s
