now, with this front, it will bring with it some cooler air and some very windy conditions. so for your friday, those northwest winds going to gust anywhere from 30-40 miles per hour. so with the wind, the cooler temperatures, it is going to feel really chilly out there. friday night, windchills friday evening going to drop into the 30's. you will need the coat handy. as we head into saturday, saturday morning, it is going to be feeling like the 20's. and throughout the day on saturday, it is really going to be a d now, saturday is really the coolest day. we are tracking so far. for the rest of the weekend, the temperatures will rebound back to about average. keep in mind, we are going on a little built of a temperature roller-coaster for the next couple of days. today, again, really mild. high temperatures this afternoon climbing to mid-6's. overnight tonight, we are clearing and we are cooling into the upper 20's. even some spots around freezing for tonight. tomorrow pretty close to average. a little bit cooler. partly sunny skies.

draes president is speaking. let's listen in. >> regardless of whether your candidate won or lost, the sun would come up in the morning. and that is one of... bit of prognosticating that actually came true. the sun is up. i know everybody had a long way. i did as well. i had a chance to talk to president-elect trump last night. about 3:30 in the morning, i

the election. and i had a chance to invite him to come to the white house tomorrow to talk about making sure that there is a successful transition between our presidencies. now, it is no secret that the president-elect and i have some pretty significant differences. but remember, eight years ago, president bush and i had some pretty significant differences. the president bush's team could not have been more profesal in making sure we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running. and one thing you realize quickly in this job, is that the presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us. so i have instructed my team to follow the example that president bush's team set eight years ago and work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a successful transition for the president-elect.

for his success. and uniting and leeing the country. the peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy. and over the next few months, we are going to show that to the world. i also had a chance last night to speak with secretary clinton. and i just had a clans to hear her remarks. i could not be prouder of her. she has lived an extraordinary life of public service. she was she was an outstanding senator for the state of new york. and she could not have been a better secretary of state. i'm proud of her. a lot of americans look up to her. her candidacy and nomination was historic. and sends a message to our daughters, all across the country. that they can achieve at the highest levels of politics. i'm absolutely confident that

people here in the united states and all around the world. now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election. but the day after, we have to remember that we are actually all on one team. this is an intermural scrimmage. we are not democrats first. we are not republicans first. we are americans first. we all want what's best for this country. that is what i heard in mr. trump's remarks last night. that is what i heard when i spoke to him. directly. and i was heartened by that. that is what the country needs. a sense of unity, a sense of inclusion, a respect for our

rule of law, and respect for each other. i hope that he maintains that spirit throughout this transition, and i certainly hope that's how his presidency has a chance to begin. i also told my team today to keep their heads up. because the remarkable work that they have done day out, often without a lot of fanfare, often with a lot of attention, work in agencies, work in obscure areas of policy that make government run better and make it more responsive and make it more efficient and make it more service-friendly so that it's

the next president with a stronger better country than the one that existed eight years ago. so win or lose, in this election, that was always our mission. that was our mission from day one. and everyone on my team should be extraordinarily proud of everything that they have done. and so should all the americans that i have had a chance to meet all across this country. they t building on that progress every single day. teachers and schools, doctors and e.r. clinics, small businesses putting their all into starting something up. making sure they are treeing employees well. all the important work that is done by moms and dads and families and congregations and every state.

so this was a long and hard-fought campaign. a lot of our fellow americans are exalted today. a lot of americans are less so. that is the nature of campaigns. that is the nature of democracy. it is hard. and sometimes contentious. and noisy. it is not always inspiring. but to the young people, w disappointed by the result, i just want you to know you have to stay encouraged. don't get cynical. don't ever think you can't make a difference. secretary clinton said this morning, fighting for what is right is worth it. sometimes you lose an

you know, the path this country has taken has never been a straight one. we zig and zag. sometimes, you know, we move in ways that some people think is forward. and others think is moving back. and that's okay. i have lost elections before. joe hasn't. (laughter) >> you beat me badly. that is the way politics works sometimes. we try really hard to persuade people that we're right. and then people vote. and then if we lose, we learn from our mistakes. we do some reflection.

we brush ourselves all. we get back in the arena. we go at it. we try even harder the next time. the point, though, is that we all go forward. with the presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens. because that presumption of good faith is essential to a vibrant and functioning democracy. that is how this country has moved forward for 240 years. that is how we pushed boundaries and p that is how we have expanded the rights of our founding, to reach all of our citizens. it is how we have come this far. f and that's why i'm confident that this incredible journey that we are on, as americans, will go on. and i'm looking forward to doing everything that i can to make sure that the next president is successful in that. i have said before, i think of

runner. you take the baton. you run your best race. and hopefully, by the time you hand it off, you are a little further ahead. you have made a little progress. i can say that we have done. that i want to make shoo handoff is well executed. because ultimately, we are all on the same team. all right. thank you very much, everybody. >> sarah: all right. you are listening to president obama speak about trump becoming the next president of the ed he said he called him around 3:30 early this morning to congratulate him fvrbs. we do know that he is going to be headed to the white house tomorrow. president obama saying really this is to talk about a successful transition. he even related to an intermural scrimmage, saying we are all on the same team. we just want our country to be successful. >> kris: well, that was the important message that president obama was stressing. that smooth transition of power. he actually talked about eight

he mentioned the bush team made it so easy for the obama people to take over and made that transition smooth as possible. he wants to do the same with the president-elect trump right now. because they want it to be as smooth as possible. >> sarah: adam williams will be there tonight.

and if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. donald trump is going to be our president. we owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. >> sarah: clinton admitted the loss hurts but urged young public servants to keep fighting despite any setbacks. i have, as tim said, spent my entire adult life fighting for what i believe in. i have had successes and i have had setbacks. sometimes really painful ones. many of you are at the beginning of your professional public and political careers. you will have successes and setbacks, too. this loss hurts. but please, never stop believing that fighting for
