heading into crystal river, 47 in arcadia. 60 degrees. temperatures by the afternoon. low 60s, kicking off the weekend with plenty of sunshine, but only 62. that will set the stage for another chilly night. with less wind, even more so with clear skies, potential for patchy frost up to the north. again, low 60s. this is what i'm talking about. 30s, showing up. in fact, we may even get into mid-30s across the north here. that will make for a very cold saturday morning. sleep in weather here, by the afternoon, full sunshine. 62 for the afternoon high, today and that will be the case through tomorrow as well, and then a nice warmup, sunday, low 70s. and then back into the mid-to upper 70s heading into next week. >> is there we want to get a look at your morning commute, this is i275 at roosevelt boulevard. pretty quiet out there. there is one stretch of the area roadways, janelle is watching the traffic cameras an she will have a full look in 20 minutes. >> >> dallas police are confirming this morning they are taking their domestic violence case against cleveland browns q
