51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: still a bit of a breeze about twenty to twenty

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: five miles an hour, so it feels a little bit

53
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,880

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: going to see some windy conditions. It'll be a mix

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,160

57
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,920

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: And it is amazing that just a few degrees makes

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: all the difference in the world. Yesterday's forty felt nice,

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: but today it's being described as a cold field to

61
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the air, even though we'll be just a few degrees

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: colder than that. Oh otherwise, we're above freezing, so that's

63
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,680

Speaker 1: the holiday weekend, it looks like a pretty decent start

67
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: with highs in the lower forties. But we're watching the

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,119

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: us some snow. It could bring us some rain. It's

70
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,720
