We struggle all day long to make it to 60 degrees. And then we focus on the next system out there which ushers in more rain. Could be heavy rain on sunday night and monday. This may or may not affect the eagles game. At this point does not seem like it will. If youre headed out to the navy and temple game, looking at mostly cloudy skies to start and partly cloudy to end. It will be mild out there.
