back toward 50 degrees, after being only above 40 and barely on saturday. rainy and rm by tuesday. and when i say warm for february, talking 50 degrees. upper 50s, low 60s. yeah. that is warm for this time of year. but it will get cold again by thursday and this looks like a pretty good shot of cold air. but again, probably not much with it. 18 today in bismarck. it's a little cold. caribou, 12. but i'll point out again, no real arctic air, anywhere across the lower 48. and one of the reasons this is happening on the west coast. look at this storm system, spinning like a top offing off -- off oregon, right? former rain and mountain snows. good news for them. that means the arctic air stays way up north. doesn't have a chance to come our way. some cold, sure. we've got snow showers in the great lakes. up in new york city. look at this going into the tug hill plateau. they'll pick up a ton of snow out there. but around here, pretty quiet. rain to the south. and that's going to be the case as we go through the weekend. some clearing tonight. so it's going to be cold

pressure building in saturday. that means lighter winds. northwest to southwest, late 5 to 10. sunday, more of a southerly flow and southwesterly flow. that will boost temperatures up. monday morning, milder air starts to move in. i think monday, we'll be in the upper 50s. see the rain monday morning. western tennessee, western kentucky. that's likely what will be headed our way as we head toward tuesday. for today. 43. maybe. thinking mid- to upper 30s to 40. that mean a little optimistic, especially if we don't see sunshine. after today, tonight, 20s. couple of upper teens possible. the cold stuff. 42 on saturday. chilly, but more sunshine. sunday, milder. mix of sun and clouds. 51. on monday, you know, we're going to be in the upper 50s. tuesday, rain and showers, around 60 by wednesday. we'll see colder temps in the afternoon, after some morning rain. and thursday, looks blustery, with temps only in the mid-30s. wind chills in the 20s. we've got
