This Warm Weather Is On a Roll

By Carol Erickson

PHILADELPHIA (CBS)-- Unless you are reading this outside, you probably got to this blog late.

Why do anything but bask in temperatures that are as high as they have been since Oct. 7 of last year?

We got to 79 in Philadelphia today, a very welcome 79, the first warm day of the year.

Before this, the last time we even got to 70 degrees was on Nov. 2. I don't have to tell you that is A LONG time to go without feeling outside warmth.

Oh, you couldn't get out today to enjoy it? No problem. We have the weather on repeat. Temperatures on Saturday will be in the low 70's, and by Sunday in the mid to upper 70's.

You still can't find the time to get outside? Okay, I'll make you a deal. Go out on Monday, enjoy the upper 70's that day because that's the last in this streak of warm weather.

By Tuesday the temperatures reach the 60's and it will likely be raining.

Wednesday might stay in the lower 50's. Not a typo..the lower 50's. And tonight, a chance of a shower from the front responsible for today's warmth. It's a decent tradeoff.
