So well have more on that tomorrow and tomorrow evening as well. Fog to start for the kid ohs at pickup time. After school lots of sunshine, 81 to 85degrees. Heres the deal on the weekend. Saturday is hot again we may have a couple thunderstorms saturday morning but once those move on well really heat up. By sunday were watching this little front.
