As a result, it will be just a little cloudy for the rest of this evening and temperatures will drop into the teens as we approach daybreak tomorrow.

TOMORROW FEELING TO BE SINGLE DIGIT UNTIL AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF MORNING. AND THEN THE TEENS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WHEN WE GO INTO THE MORNING. WE TALK. HIGH IN THE MID 20’S. However, most of the day I won’t feel like this. 31 ON SATURDAY. FIRST DAY OF WINTER, 41 ON SUNDAY. We’ll stay in the 40s all next week.
