of air out of the south will bring us a warm-up the next few days, and it will come at a cost, and low pressure over texas, that will be a coastal low, that will bring us a soaking rain on friday night. and that will become a nor'easter, but we are talking about the warm air and this will not be bringing us snow. this will be bringing us rain and what is ahead the next few days, temperatures climb up into the 50s and we are tracking two systems, the first one friday night with rain and the second one late on sunday an arctic front with snow showers and behind that system remember yesterday monday martin luther king holiday could be just as cold if not colder than yesterday. i'll talk about that coming up in the full accuweather forecast. >> thank you cecily. as temperatures moderate, keep 6abc.com/weather open on all of your devices, storm tracker 6 and the weather team is your powerful allies as the

headlines say that the cheaper gas prices are boosting the sales of trucks and suvs but the folks that sells the vehicles say it's not that easy. it's through the gas prices have dropped, american car buyers have shifted buying fewer sedans and opting for smaller vehicles. >> you see less of the sedan buyer and moving through the suv and cuv cross over. suv has overtaken sedans but is cheaper gas driving that shift. we contacted some including a group that sells 1300 to 1400 cars a month, he says no, he believe the primary factor is utility. >> the cargo space. >> now they get mileage ratings within a few tics of sedans. >> think it helps the decision and they are headed in that

direction any way and the gas prices make the jump easier and if the gas goes up it deters people from going. jerry and jay picked up a toyota, for them utility is the key and they couldn't fit their grandchildren in the sedan. >> gas price did not come into it at all. $5 a gallon maybe. but it's more for safety. >> they echoed him and said the cheap gas prices helpful but not a deciding factor, more people space and more cargo space and the utility mileage numbers are much improved and cheaper loan rates, better auto loans now than ever before and finance the normally more expensive utility vehicles and it's easier for people to do that. >> all right john thank you. speaking of driving, lets get a check of the "action news" traffic report tonight.
