York County Weather: Mild Week Ahead with Arctic Chill for Christmas Weekend

This Christmas season, York County residents may anticipate a weather rollercoaster, with pleasant temperatures giving way to a chilly Arctic blast just in time for the holiday. Compared to previous cold spells, this week's temperatures will feel rather mild. But as Arctic air moves into the area on Saturday and Sunday, there will likely be a big decrease, with lows in the low 20s by Monday. With this, cold weather akin to recent cold outbreaks will return. Since there is no snow predicted for the foreseeable future, a white Christmas is regrettably not in the cards this year. The week between Christmas and New Year's is predicted to have mild or even above-normal temperatures due to a quick warm-up after the holiday chill.

New arrest warrant amplifies Florida’s fight with feds over second Trump assassination attempt

On Wednesday, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody declared that the state has secured an arrest warrant for Ryan Routh, who is currently detained in federal prison on suspicion of trying to kill Donald Trump, for attempted felony murder. It's part of an ongoing back and forth between Florida Republican leaders and the Biden administration on the state's investigation of the September assassination attempt, the second attempt on Trump's life in three months.
