tonight. we have the at most fear warming up overall. it prevents it from clearing up overnight. 56 tomorrow, and then we may get stuck in the 50s for a few days, even through tuesday, well above the average of 40. why do we know that? it is 46 in virginia. 64 in denver, and there is no arctic air anywhere it it will be awhile before we have any wale cold air. nothing on the radar or the satellite close by. you have to go past chicago to find any kind of significant moisture. lots of sunshine on saturday, clo clouds will increase on sunday.

still mild for january there. some places in the suburbs only into the 40s. here come the clouds they will be moving eastward gradually through the weekend, saturday we're still nice and sunny. then the clouds come in maybe after a little sun on sunday morning and the showers, they stay to the west. through the eagles game, and so that is why we're predicting dry conditions, temperatures well above average, and not dropping a lot during the game and not a lot of wind either. we'll be right back.
