to be so dry. behind that front winds start to pick up on thursday night. and by the time we get into friday, it's another storm team 4 weather alert day because temperatures will be in the 30s. don't let that number fool you. with blustery northwest winds gusting up to 20, 25 miles an hour. it will feel like the teens when you wake up friday morning. will feel like 20s much through the day. you'll trade your rain boots and raincoat today for a winter coat and hat and gloves by friday. we rebound on monday back in the 50s. and then as we get into the end of next week, those temperatures really start to drop. in fact, some areas will not make it out of the 20s. doug will be talking more about that cold airs as we settle into next week. that's coming up just after 5:00. >> all right, lauryn. well, this is snuggy weather right now. question is, are you using the real thing?
