Your family, your friends. People you miss. Sarah like, incredible pictures. Anchor i know. The northern lights. I have always wanted to see seeing them from space. That is crazy. Sarah i couldnt imagine, though, not having human contact for that long. Chris although. Connected now with all the social media access. It is awesome to see those pictures of the hurricanes and tropical storms as the International Space station goes over them. 60 degrees right now. Sliding back to 50 this afternoon. Slow temp slide later on a couple scattered showers around. Nothing like earlier this morning. With the Severe Weather. Isolated evening shower. Tonight. Cool weather prevails tonight. Then 3642 by the time we get into tomorrow. I think temperatures holding for the upper 30s for the most part. It will feel more like the upper 2s thanks to the constant wind out there. You take a look at the forecast. Yes, we start the weekend off on the cold side. Seasonably Cold Saturday afternoon. And then we are right back into the 50s by sunday. Anchor all right, chris.
