Disneyland Weather Report for the New Year Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/30/2011)

There's a dense fog advisory for the morning and I could see one being issued once again tomorrow morning. That said once we get rid of the fog things are looking wonderful for New Years Eve.  High temperatures today will top out around 70.

Tomorrow for the New Year's Eve once again dense fog will be the problem in the morning – but I think by 11am we will be good to go for some afternoon sunshine.  We've had to push temperatures back just a bit because of the fog so while we thought maybe mid 70s for the weekend now once again we'll be lucky to hit the mid 70s.

Temperatures will cool quickly and if you are sticking around Disneyland through midnight you WILL want that light jacket as temps will dip into the mid to low 50s.

The real warm up comes into the new year when we may be flirting with 80 sometime Monday or Tuesday.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for the New Year Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/30/2011)

As I have been saying ALL week – THIS is the year to make it to one of the parks for New Years Eve – I tell you the forecast models for Orlando have been spot on and I haven't had to eat my words this week :-)!

Expect the warming trend to continue through Sunday with plenty of sunshine after 9am.  The only thing standing in the way of a quicker warm up may be some patchy fog tomorrow morning through 7 or 8am.  Expect high temperatures today in the low to mid 70s but tomorrow and Sunday expect temps in the mid to even upper 70s based on how patchy the clouds are in the afternoon.

The party can't last forever though, but just in time for people to get outta dodge we will experience a cool down early next week as temps drop back down into the 60s.

Most people will be looking at fireworks and by the time midnight rolls around I would expect temperatures to be somewhere around 60s (maybe the upper 50s).  Please tweet pictures I would love to see them and if anyone is around World Showcase Lagoon tomorrow night please @ mention me and maybe we can have a cheers for the new year.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 29th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/29/2011)

Not to be outdone by her larger sister – Disneyland is planning a fantastic New Years Eve and the weather will cooperate and oddly enough be very similar to what is going on in Florida.

In the short term expect some sunshine today with highs in the mid 70s.  Lows WILL get low so have that jacket ready if hitting Downtown Disney or staying in the parks late.  We are talking about lows in the 40s right up until Saturday when a little warm up can be expected.  

Highs for the weekend will be in the mid 70s and I'm expecting plenty of sunshine right into the New Year.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 29th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/29/2011)

New Years Eve is looking SPECTACULAR – and that's all you really wanted to know anyway right?  Ok well if you want something a little more "current" I can tell you that the rest of the week looks almost just as spectacular – though a little cooler.

Expect plenty of sunshine today with highs in the low 60s (we could hit the mid 60s – don't sue me).  It WILL GET CHILLY TONIGHT if you are going to be outside late you will without question want that light to medium jacket.  The good news is that things warm up a bit over the next few days in a big way and by the time we get to Saturday we are talking about highs in the mid 70s!

For fireworks which are spectacular around midnight on Saturday/Sunday I would expect lows to be in the low 60s still so while a light jacket may not be out of the question I am telling you – this will be one of the nicest New Year celebrations we've seen in the park in a long time.  Enjoy!  Tweet pics – I'll be around World Showcase Lagoon!

Disneyland Celebrates Three Kings Day, Jan. 6-8, 2012 - (DL) (12/28/2011)

For the first time, Disneyland Resort will observe Three Kings Day as part of the celebration of holidays. Three Kings Day activities will be held Jan. 6-8, 2012, at Zocalo Park in Disneyland park.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 27th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/27/2011)

The nice weather continues yet again today with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid (to potentially upper) 60s.  Those dry nights also continue though which allows temperatures to get down pretty quickly and pretty low by the time the parks are closing.  Expect lows to get into the mid 40s and even when the park closes … I wouldn't be surprised if we were already into the mid 50s.

A nice warming trend is coming our way over the next couple of days as highs bump back into the mid 70s by Thursday … but what's the deal for New Years Eve?  Well expect more sunshine and highs in the mid 70s and that trend continues right into the start of 2012!  Now you just need to get out there and enjoy it!

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 27th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/27/2011)

Looks like Mother Nature has a little hangover from the Christmas holiday over the weekend as today is not going to be the best day in the parks for one of the busiest days of the year.

A chance of showers will linger with us all day and temperatures will top out somewhere in the upper 70s. Things get a bit nicer as we race towards the new year with gradual clearing overnight and a low around 48. The sun should come out in time for Wednesday though temperatures will be a little cooler with highs only getting into the mid to upper 60s.

The important stuff lies ahead (especially because I will be there for New Years Eve) - NYE is looking spectacular.  Saturday long range forecast looks for Sunny skies with highs in the mid 70s and by the time a very special 11:40 Illuminations begins I would say that the temperatures should be in the low 60s.  Hope to see some of you there!

Disneyland Weather Report for Christmas Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/23/2011)

I have to tell you – I'm envious – Southern California continues to experience gorgeous weather and will continue to through the weekend.  

Some gusty winds will impact the morning and the cool 40s may be a bit cool for some – you will need that jacket but highs today will top out in the low 70s and then continue to warm through the mid 70s tomorrow into Sunday.  In fact it looks like the sun will continue to shine into next week though temperatures will temper just a bit and get back into the 60s … but if you are looking for a holiday escape from the cold – both Disney parks Coast to Coast will help you out!

Lows once again dip down into the mid 40s at night so it will be chilly if you are out late.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for Christmas Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/23/2011)

Central Florida will continue to be the envy of much of the country as our string of above average days linger on.  Another mostly sunny day can be expected with highs reaching once again into the low 80s.  Lows will once again get down in the low 60s – but that will happy likely when you are sleeping so for those looking to watch some fireworks tonight expect temperatures in the upper 60s around 9pm.

Tomorrow actually looks decent as well but the changes come after that – we may see some sun but winds will pick up and clouds will build throughout the day tomorrow.  Now Christmas day does not appear to be a washout by any stretch but along with some sun and clouds – we can expect a shower here or there throughout the day.

Right now it looks like the bulk of the rain may come conveniently on Monday night.  It may remain a bit unsettled through the middle of the week but by the time we get to Thursday things look good – though cooler and fingers crossed now we will be setting ourselves up for a really nice New Years Eve.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 21st from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/22/2011)

If I had to pick a place to spend the holidays with family in the US it might be right where you are RIGHT now.

A wonderful holiday weekend is in store and today should hold plenty of sunshine with highs in the mid 60s.  I nice warm up is coming your way though Saturday into Sunday as temperatures get into the low and mid 70s respectively.

Sun should be the rule throughout the next few days right up into next week (though temperatures look to fall a bit Monday).

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 21st from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/22/2011)

One more really nice (albeit warm day) before some more clouds roll in and the chance for showers impacts the weekend. Highs will once again be considerably above average and will top out somewhere in the low 80s.  Fog may develop overnight for the morning – but the low tonight will remain in the low 60s.  If I had to give you a temperature for say Wishes and Illuminations I would go with somewhere in the upper 60s (translation – really comfortable).

If you are flying in from the northeast plan on a couple of travel delays thanks to some rather heavy rainfall.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 20th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/20/2011)

A gradual warming trend is coming (finally) as we head through the week and that spells pretty good news for the holiday weekend.  Temperatures today should get up into the mid 60s with light winds from the north.  As we head towards Saturday though we will be close to 70 and by Christmas day may be flirting with 75.  As someone who was in LA this time last week all I can think is – WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I WAS THERE?

Have a great week everyone!

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 20th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/20/2011)

Oh these are the days I miss living in the happiest place on earth (on the east coast). Another lovely day ahead as high temperatures soar towards 80 and the southwest continues to be blasted by a blizzard! 

The temperatures will continue to warm up through the end of the week into the low 80s but clouds will also roll in.  Looks like unfortunately there is a chance for showers as we head into the weekend and especially Christmas day.  Not looking for a washout but if you are spending the holidays in the Magic Kingdom an umbrella wouldn't be the worst idea to have on hand.

These model runs have changed daily so it is a little early to know for certain, but the pattern is worth watching.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 19th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/19/2011)

A little bit of an unsettled day can be expected today and we'll struggle to get out of the 50s with a chance for showers especially late morning/early afternoon.

Tomorrow through the end of the week look better as highs get back into the mid 60s with plenty of sunshine.

Things only get better as we head towards Christmas when temperatures may spike up into the 70s.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 19th from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/19/2011)

Can you believe that Christmas is LESS than a week away.  YIKES!

It certainly is feeling anything BUT the holidays today throughout Walt Disney World.  High temperatures should easily reach the mid 70s with plenty of sunshine today.  Lows will get down into the 50s tonight into tomorrow and be even warmer tomorrow.  That trend continues with high temperatures as well as we flirt with the 80s by the time we get to the end of the week. Clouds may increase just a bit as the temperatures warm up, but I'm not too concerned about much in the area of rainfall as of now until we get into the weekend.

For all of you coming from the north to visit – feel good about the fact that temperatures will be running at least 6-10 degrees above normal for highs this week.

Runners Set Their Sights New Features for Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend - (DL) (12/19/2011)

 

The ever popular Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend presented by CIGNA returns Jan. 5-8, 2012 with two new features – a relay option and a new medal.

Runners in the 26.2 mile Disney Marathon can now join a buddy for the Disney Marathon Relay.  Unlike other marathon relays, runners at Disney will each run 13.1 miles through Walt Disney World’s four theme parks.  The first runner will travel through Epcot and Magic Kingdom, while the second runner goes through Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios before finishing at Epcot.  Both runners receive official half-marathon times as well as a combined team time, plus the new Chip and Dale medal – the first new character medal for Disney Marathon Weekend since the Goofy medal was introduced in 2006.  The Disney Marathon Relay will be run simultaneously with the Disney Marathon and share the same course.

The Walt Disney World Half Marathon also will offer a new feature – a special edition Donald Duck medal to commemorate the 15^th anniversary of the race. 

The Disney Marathon Weekend will include a variety of events, including the Disney Family 5k Fun Run (Jan. 6), Disney Kid’s Races (Jan. 6-7), and Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge (Jan. 7-8).  There’s also Disney’s Health & Fitness Expo (Jan. 5-8) at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, which will feature the latest in running merchandise, equipment and products, plus health and fitness seminars by leading authorities such as renowned marathon trainer Jeff Galloway, the official training consultant for runDisney. For more information, go to www.rundisney.com.

 

Disneyland Weather Report for the December 16th Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/16/2011)

Enjoy slightly warmer temperatures today into tomorrow but once again highs in the low 60s are expected by the time we finish out the weekend.

Expect calm winds and mostly sunny skies today with highs in the upper 60s. If you are heading to the parks this weekend have that light jacket handy because I can speak from experience from this week – when the sun goes down over California Adventure and you are ready for some World of Color – you will need it!

Sunday sets up for a the sunniest day with temperatures reaching about 61.  We should stay dry throughout the weekend.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for the December 16th Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/16/2011)

If you are waking up to clouds and hoping to see some sun today – you may have to just journey to the land of make believe (or imagination) because I'm not entirely confident there will be a whole bunch around today unfortunately – that said, it's really nice temperature wise … (glass is half full).

The official forecast calls for mostly sunny skies – but I think we'll be in and out at best today – with highs in the upper 70s.  Some fog will develop overnight tonight and lows will get down to around 60.

Similar set up for the start of the weekend with some clouds some sun and similar temperatures but a bit of a cool down is in store for Sunday and that would be the day out of the next 3 that I would expect the most amount of sun.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 15 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/15/2011)

 

Sometimes you forget how good things are, and that was me with World of Color last night.  Thank you for your hospitality Disneyland – I'll be back for your half marathon around Labor Day.  The show is simply breathtaking.

I can speak from experience when I say that a jacket is recommended for Disneyland if you hope to brave the crowds and cold if the park is open until midnight!

Temperatures may still be in the 40s by the time you read this – but will warm somewhere around 60 today.  Looks like there is a good chance for a shower or two but tomorrow will be a nicer day with part;y sunny skies and highs in the mid 60s.

 

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 15 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/15/2011)

I think when Figment said, "let the good times roll", he may have been talking about Orlando weather.  

As high pressure continues to build, things will get nicer (and warmer) for us.  Expect high temperatures around the mid 70s today warming up to close to 80 as we head towards the end of the week into the weekend.

Easterly winds will diminish today and there is a chance for some fog tomorrow morning when you wake up.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 13 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/13/2011)

We've seen better days but it shouldn't be a complete washout today.  

Expect a 50-50 chance of showers with highs struggling to hit 60.  Clearing begins this afternoon and we may even see a couple of glimpses of sunshine by the time the sun goes down.

We really clear out overnight however and are left with some sunshine for tomorrow and Thursday however (there's the good news) with highs in the low 60s.

You'll want that jacket handy tonight/early morning as we drop back down into the 40s once again.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 13 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/13/2011)

Just a little bit of overcast to start your day – but all in all it will be quite an improvement from the last couple of days we've had.

Expect it to be just a bit breezy today under generally sunny skies.  High temperatures will be slightly above average once again and top out in the upper 70s (read 78) - and it shouldn't get below 60 while the parks are still open this evening.

The rest of the week as it stands right now looks about the same with high temperatures in the upper 70s (we may even be flirting with 80 by the end of the week) and partly to mostly sunny skies.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 12 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/12/2011)

Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays and that someone is Mother Nature.  Expect some shower activity today – and I wouldn't be surprised to hear a rumble of thunder.

That said I want this rain out of the system as I fly over there for the Biggest Loser finale tomorrow – followed by what should be a lovely day Wednesday at Disneyland.

Showers should tapper off overnight Monday, but there could be a stray shower left over Tuesday morning.  

High temperatures today will only be in the mid 50s.  The sun comes out possibly tomorrow afternoon and temperatures will make it back to around 60.  

Wednesday and Thursday look similar with sunshine and highs around 60s.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 12 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/12/2011)

A soggy Sunday afternoon leads into the chance for more showers this morning.  Temperatures will remain above average the next couple of days but the good news is that the chance for precipitation will lower as we go into tomorrow.

High temperatures will top out around close to 80 and shower activity will tapper off as we lose sunlight today.  Tomorrow should be a much  better day with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.

I enjoyed talking to some of you this weekend via Twitter while in the parks – hope to see some of you for New Years Eve at Epcot :-)!  I'm off to Los Angeles for the Biggest Loser finale and then a day at Disneyland!

Disneyland Weather Report for the December 9th Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/9/2011)

Enjoy the sunshine today my friends because it looks like some unsettled weather is coming just in time for the weekend (and my visit next week).

First off – good morning – its quite cold out there so there could be some frost – but the real fun begins Sunday when a couple Pacific storms may bring that old winter pattern back.  So today expect some sun with highs in the upper 60s and actually Saturday isn't looking too bad either with a similar set up.  Monday looks to be your worst day – so either take an umbrella or a sick day – your choice!

Walt Disney World Weather Report for the December 9th Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/9/2011)

Greetings from 35 thousand feet.  With a birds-eye view I can see a WHOLE lot of clouds down there.  Now this can be good or bad for someone heading to Disney this weekend.  Clouds are better for pictures so there you go.  Clouds will also keep temperatures a bit warmer at night.  As it stands right now I'd expect high temperatures in the mid 70s today with lows getting down to right around 60.  

I don't want to say there may be some sprinkles but there may be … Upper level winds should keep showers that are pushing inland away – but with the clouds you never can tell.  It won't be a washout – BUT it won't be as sunny as it was originally supposed to be earlier in the week.

That said – maybe it will keep the crowds down at the party tonight :-)!  I know a lot of you are going as I've been following Twitter feeds – so keep sharing pics and have a great weekend!

Fantasy on Land and at Sea adds to the Fun for Disney Guests in Leap Year 2012 - (DL) (12/8/2011)

What leap year brings with it in 2012, besides an extra day, is nonstop fun for Disney guests.  At Walt Disney World Resort, they can spin with Dumbo as a new Fantasyland begins stirring to life, luxuriate in new royal guest rooms or family suites, chase down villains in a new interactive game in Magic Kingdom, or get behind the wheel of a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche on a new supercar racing circuit. At sea, the all-new Disney Fantasy of Disney Cruise Line enters service with exciting new shipboard fun.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 8 from @WDW_Weathe - (DL) (12/8/2011)

Weather patterns generally change from day to day – model runs will run and give us something completely different every 24 hours … except here.  Here, I haven't had a whole lot to say the last couple of days and for that – you guys are likely thankful!

Very similar conditions today as to what we saw yesterday and that trend will continue through the weekend. Sunny skies (for the most part) and high temperatures in the low 60 even upper 60s can be expected.  

Going into next week is where things get a little uncertain.  Looks like a disturbance could try to creep in and bring some showers Monday through Wednesday – but we aren't talking a washout and as we get closer to next week it could be a non event.  Stay tuned … 

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 8 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/8/2011)

It's a crisp 47 as I type this and I think that calling the front that passed just a few hours ago strong – would be an understatement.  We'll rebound nicely as we head towards the weekend, but it will still get down into the mid 50s at its coolest tonight/tomorrow morning before the sun comes up.  

Expect mostly sunny conditions with clouds here and there, but for the most part I cannot say enough compared to most of the rest of the country – Walt Disney World is sitting pretty.  Highs will top out in the mid 70s tomorrow through Sunday and with some clouds rolling in lows will be a bit warmer too.  Sunday temperatures will even likely be a couple of degrees warmer than would generally expected this time of year. That said, there is a chance for a shower Sunday (though mainly the threat is for the coast) as one high pressure exits the area and another one quickly enters.

SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW NIGHT FOR THE HOLIDAY PARTY :-)!

Disneyland Weather Report for December 7 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/7/2011)

This forecast could not be more boring for a meteorologist - which means a great day for you!

Expect plenty of sunshine with temperatures in the mid to low 60s with an awful lot of sunshine.  A gradual warming trend can be expecting as we end out our week as temperatures approach 70.  A small disturbance could bring a chance for some rain (light) early next week.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 7 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/7/2011)

Here comes the front (as opposed to the sun).  One more mild day is in store as clouds build ahead of the front. I'd expect some showers anytime after early afternoon if not before.  It shouldn't be a washout by any stretch of the imagination but after all the nice weather we've been having I could see how it might be a little downer. (Think how much better the lines will be though :-) ... see, glass is half full).  After the front passes temperatures will cool down quite a bit - it still won't be as cold as it was last week but it will be a big change for a 24 hour period when it comes to high temperatures.  Low 80s today (think 81) and then mid 60s tomorrow. If you are heading to Orlando today bring a light jacket - when the sun goes down there will be a little chill in the air as lows get down into the 40s tonight as things clear out.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 6 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/6/2011)

A rather brisk day is on tap today, but once the winds die down it will be a really nice day.  There is a wind advisory in effect through 10am today.

Expect highs in the low 60s today with plenty of sunshine and temperatures will cool down considerably tonight as lows get into the LOW 40s.  Expect the opposite from what's going on in Florida as Disneyland will experience a warming trend as Orlando goes through a bit of a cool down.

That said expect things to remain the same for much of the week with plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid 60s.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 6 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/6/2011)

Looks like the front has sped up a little bit, but this actually may turn out to be a good thing.  I was expecting showers during the DAY on Thursday but now if all goes well it may rain between parks being closed on Wednesday night.

But I'm getting ahead of myself … today expect a similar day to yesterday – some clouds, some sun (more sun than clouds) - I think we SHOULD hit the 80 degree mark which we've been hovering around for a while so expect a pretty nice day throughout all of Walt Disney World.  Temperatures will be on a general slide though as the front approaches.  Tomorrow expect a few more clouds as it approaches with a slight chances of showers Wednesday day and night.  Thursday will be the coolest day temperature wise and we may struggle to reach 70 but it won't be nearly as cold as it was last week at this time.

Harry Potter Coming to Universal Hollywood and Expanding in Universal Orlando - (DL) (12/6/2011)

Entertainment and Universal Parks and Resorts today announced a partnership to bring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – the enormously popular themed entertainment environment which debuted in Orlando in June 2010 – to Universal Studios Hollywood.  The two companies also announced their plans to significantly expand The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.

Disneyland Weather Report for December 5 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/5/2011)

Here we go again – hang onto your hats ladies and gentlemen the return of the Santa Ana's are here.  A high wind advisory is in effect all day into tomorrow.  Highs will be in the mid 60s today and tomorrow – and with the wind there will be plenty of sunshine.

One positive to go along with the winds … lack of morning fog so we have that going for us which is nice.  I will say in addition to the High Wind Warning there is a Red Flag Warning – so watch yourself as fire danger is high.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for December 5 from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/5/2011)

Long range – Nice week this week with plenty of sunshine, cool down coming for the weekend with a chance for showers as front passes (likely sometime on Thursday).

Today it looks like once again we will flirt with 80 today though the official high is forecast for 79 today.  We will continue to warm up just a bit tomorrow … and we will hover around 80 for most of the week.  A front will be approaching though I don't expect AS much of a cool down as we saw last week but you will want that light jacket for Mickey's party Friday night (where I will be in attendance :-)).

Second Harvest Food Bank’s Kids Cafe Receives Early Holiday Gift - (DL) (12/5/2011)

Before the first note of Sunday’s Candlelight Processional at Epcot, Walt Disney World announced a gift – to the tune of $30,000 – for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida’s Kids Cafe. The program provides nutritious daily meals to more than 900 local children.

Disneyland Weather Report for the December 2nd Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/2/2011)

Winds are dying down today – I promise!

All in all we are setting up for a fabulous weekend throughout much of Southern California through Disneyland.

High temperatures will be in the mid 60s through Monday with plenty of sunshine as well. 

I could write more – but why waste your time – get out there and enjoy the weekend!

Walt Disney World Weather Report for the December 2nd Weekend from @WDW_Weather - (DL) (12/2/2011)

Hang on to your hats today Disney World it's going to be a little bit breezy today.  We aren't talking Santa Ana winds like we've seen on the West Coast but it will be a little breezy.  That said, the good news is that if you are headed to the world from the north the sunshine state is warming up today through early next week.

Expect highs to try and creep back into the mid 70s (official hi is 73) and those temperatures will continue rising a couple of degrees each day through the weekend.  By the time we get to Monday I expect we will be flirting with 80 once again.

Low temperatures won't be too bad either as opposed to earlier in the week setting up some really nice conditions for extra magic hours.  Tonight we may get down to about 56, but that will be way after your bedtime.

Windy enough for ya?  With the Santa Ana's blowing furiously, I think it goes without saying that there's a Red Flag warning in effect for the area … so be careful.  Winds will calm down tomorrow and temperatures will continue to come down – though not much more than they will be today.

Expect highs in the mid 60s the next two days, but the lows will be cooling down and tomorrow night don't be surprised if we are in the low 40s.

But what about the weekend?  Well the sun returns but again the temperatures will be low.  We are looking for a high of about 60 Saturday so bring those light jackets for an evening World of Color or Christmas fireworks show this weekend.
