here's howard bernstein. >> but entertaining nonetheless. >> we're all with you, mike. >> one way ornother. >> watch out for a couple of showers. maybe cooler rain showers are in your future. we've got some out there north and west of town. they'll be coming through over the next few hours. that's with a cold front. this afternoon, boy, it's going to turn nice and breezy. drier air moving in but on the warm side. our day planner calling for temper
