burlington, wisconsin. sugar grove at 45. pretty amazing how cool it was across the area. do we need a microphone here. all right. hang on to this. look at our temperature tonight at o'hare. already down to 58 degrees. it's 62 at midway. it's a cool night we've got coming up here with mixed clouds. and temperatures today that made it into the low 70s. if you were away from the lake. but only 67 at o'hare field. so it was cool. that's the view from kankakee. and here's what you would have seen down in arkansas today. where hermine's remnants were sending showers and thunderstorms through the air. same through here in southern missouri. there were big rains. like 4.5 inches of rain in arkansas. that's the rain that's passing to the south of us tonight. you can see it right there. and there are other rains passing to the north.

advisory. a sign that we're not alone with our cool weather. look at the models of rainfall in the next two and a half days. still, hermine's moisture has not been spent yet. big rains in the southern midwest. and this weather system coming eastward will pull some of the moisture north and turn it into showers here. you can see where the cool air was here kind of in a low that sent the temperatures sagging southward. moderately cool air dominated all the way north to the arctic circle. there are are temperatures tonight. in montana they're talking about snow above the 7000-foot level. while it's 50 at marquette. another chilly night on the way with dew points low. so we're slowly but surely pushing that warm air out of here. don't be surprised to see it

resurge several times. north winds at 6 tonight. humidity 78%. the mold and ragweed counts down today. there our in-house model, that's tomorrow morning 7:30. mostly sunny through the day tomorrow. not until late in the day will high clouds begin to increase. we expect those clouds to thicken up and will see showers and thunderstorms coming in maybe late tomorrow night. but a time or two on saturday too. not an all day rain. here's our forecast for the area. tonight partly cloudy, cool, upper 40s inhappened-- land. during the day tomorrow, mostly sunny. gorgeous weather. strengthening from the east. high 72. the east and southeast winds at 10-22. clouds will increase toward evening and will build into a

couple of showers as they thicken up tomorrow night. temperatures down to 60 on saturday then cloudy periods and showers and maybe a thunderstorm. but not an all day rain and a high temperature of 70 i think by the second half of the afternoon, we may be lucky and see the rains exit the area. >> goody. >> and a beautiful day for the bears on sunday. but next week there's another slug of cool air. we'll show that in a bit. >> glad we got your mic going. coming up: bounty behind bars. the good is going on in the prison. and an instant way to share your road rage with your friends. hoping the sox could take advantage today of the twins not playing. >> they could not. they're tumbling quickly in the league. the bears getting ready for sunday. and the linebackers are healthy. that's a good thing.

except for some little strands of high clouds. late in the day they start filling in is there. and the band of showers maybe a thunderstorm may come in late tomorrow night and for a time on saturday. then that sprawling high centered in kansas comes in amid a gusty westerly wind and warmer temperatures on sunday. which could go into the upper 70s around the area. so there's our warm weather on saturday. cooled only by the rain. and even warmer sunday because the sun will be back out. and some cool air drops in. and that's part of that blocking pattern that we've seen so often in recent years in our cool seasons up in the north atlantic and all. seems to be a factor yet in the next couple of weeks. that'll keep cool air masses coming with some regularity. however, we have about eight 80s to go. there are about eight 80s we found by studying the records from this point forward.

♪[ music ] bonnie, turn up the volume. your baby sister has something to say. this intervention brought to you by niaspan. so now your doctor's talking about plaque building up in your arteries - she called it coronary artery disease. you think that's something you can just stick in an email and that's the end of it? do you know me? look, bonnie. i know you've been exercising and eating a healthier diet. and that's great.

but you wrote that your doctor also wants you on this cholesterol medicine - niaspan. i know - another pill. i get it, i do. but i am not taking no for an answer. if you have high cholesterol and coronary artery disease, and diet and exercise are not enough, niaspan, along with diet and a bile acid-binding resin, is fda-approved not only to slow down plaque buildup but to actually help clear some of it away. bonnie, ever since we were kids, you would do anything for me. i need you to do this for you. if you cannot afford your medication, call 1-877-niaspan. niaspan is not for everyone, like people with stomach ulcers, liver, or serious bleeding problems. severe liver damage can occur when switching to niaspan from immediate-release niacin. blood tests are needed to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness; this could be a sign of serious side effects; this risk can increase with statin use. tell your doctor about alcohol use, if you've ever had gout, or are diabetic and experience increases in blood sugar. flushing, a common side effect, is warmth, redness, itching, or tingling of the skin.

ask your doctor about niaspan. fight back. fight plaque. niaspan. how would i make school field trips to the zoo! more basketballs. soccer balls. and a museum!
