Because of the massive strait surge that is coming later.

As has been the trend for much of December we will see below normal temperatures today and tomorrow. However, by Saturday we start a warming trend that will peak on Sunday before we start a gradual chill down as we move into the New Year. If you like sun this afternoon and tomorrow look like the last sunshine of 2024. Rain chances increase late Friday night and will continue into New Year's Day. There may be a little freezing rain or drizzle tomorrow night across the higher spots of NW Chester and SE Berks counties. Rain totals by New Year's day may be between 1.5" to 2.0"

Watching the outage map at home for peninsula light…still no outages yet.

Yeah we have not seen anything up here. Respectable pressure readings, but zilch for the wind.

No doubt when we update this in 10 days it's going to shift to much colder in the east and warmer in the northwest. This change is still forecasted, but what once was a month mean now may be relegated to the back half of the month assuming it happens in January at all. As I noted in another post, the shift west will be near or after the 15th.
