It Just Might Be...The Nicest Weekend Of The YEAR!

By Geoff Bansen

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- That's right, I'm saying it: Call me crazy, but I think that this weekend will indeed be the most wonderful of the entire year for tranquil, comfortable weather, and I'll tell you why.

The coastal low that brought all of the rain and wind yesterday has been squashed out to sea by high pressure building in, which now has a stranglehold on the eastern half of the country and will remain virtually stationary over the weekend. It is also going to be comfortably warm in the low 80s, which is slightly above average.

With all of this high pressure, we need some LOWS. Low humidity, low cloud cover, low winds -- these are the factors that will really make this the nicest Saturday/Sunday combo of the year.

Did I mention this is also the shortest blog of the year? ;)
