way below normal monday and tuesday below normal monday and tuesday, setting us for a cold pat's game at gill let. 34 to start the game, but in later kwafrt/ kwafrters, we could dip below freezing. dressing for 20s, keep that in mind with a mostly clear sky. the cold air is with us early next week, but it will not stay. the jet stream retreats and the warm air comes back to the eastern seaboard. this has been the theme for entire autumn. another storm will go through the plains, right now, one going into chicago, something about 6 chicago, something about 6-8-inchs of snow. for us, on the warm side of that one. snow snow expected through the weekend into next week even with our cool down. t-r/ t-rs make it in the upper 6s and black friday is looking mild. it may last into the weekend. it may get cut short. i don't see any storms that threaten us through the holiday at all. >>> tv host seth maiers will have a late night job as a father. we have confirmed that he and his wife are expecting their first child together. their first child together. >>> our source for sports, -- -- >> celtics take a
