of what we saw today, but there is the potential for some strong storms tomorrow in addition to the heavy rain. so the front approaches, finally sweeps out by friday, such that by friday morning we start to dry out and we get cooler with lows in the low 60s. this may be some areas in the upper 50, highs in the lower 70. friday night chill in the air. saturdayore than waking up to 53 in miami. guys. >> calvin: shorts and umbrellas and then like sweaters, and really? the temperature is going up and down like that. it's like a roller coaster. >> laurie: but it's a lot nicer than the northeast right now. >> calvin: we know all too well. >> laurie: thanks for joining us. we'll look for you tonight at 11:00. >> calvin: you can always go to our website for more information on local10.com.
