It will turn drive to follow for friday into saturday and sunday. It is chilly now. Midtoupper 30s north. We will be back into the 60s tomorrow. Everywhere else, right at seasonable levels for this time of year. We will bottom out in the 30s far to the north. Tomorrow into thursday, notice a wedge of warm air continues through the great lakes. Notice temperatures really did back here in the northern part of the planes states and the northern rockies. It will cool down by friday into the first half of the weekend, even early on nd to speak of. You know the story about the drought. We could use a lot more rain similar to what we had on sunday for several days in a row. But outside if you patchy clouds, we are right back to sunshine and that when chance of a little bit of precipitation will be thursday before we dry out again. Clouds again advance before the morning commute. Should advance on the dry side becoming partly to mostly sunny. Wind not that bad and temperatures close to where they were today.

The Decisive Game 5 will be on thursday night. And we may see another game five on thursday night. The giants three outs away from tying their series with the cubs at numeral two 2 games john lackey, another former red sox pitcher gave up three runs in three innings.
