Spring-Like Weather Hits The Nation

Posted: Updated:
PHILADELPHIA -

Instead of the typical December snow, areas around the country are getting a taste of spring.

In Minnesota, outdoor hockey rinks are having a difficult time staying frozen thanks to the warm temperatures.

In our area, temperatures nearly hit 70 degrees Tuesday.

With just partly cloudy skies throughout the day, a walk outside felt much more like spring then it did late fall.

FOX 29 Meteorologist Caitlyn Roth says although it's warm, the weather isn't uncommon for the Philadelphia area. Last year, we had five days of 60-degree temperatures.

It may feel like spring now, but FOX 29 Chief Meteorologist Scott Williams says big changes are ahead, as a cold front makes its way into our area.

A light jacket may be needed early in the day with lows in the 50s, but under sunny skies temperatures climb into the low 80s.  Along the coast highs top out in the mid 70s.  Winds will be out of the WSW 5-10 mph.  High 83.
