Warm First Night

Warm air will surge up the east coast for New Year's weekend, and temps will be in the 40's for first night activities. 2011 will start with temps in the 50's, even though clouds will rule.  A cold front will come through on Sunday, bringing cold air behind it. We will remain in a mainly quiet pattern for the next week or so-other than the spotty showers on Sunday with the cold front.
