...FREEZING TEMPERATURES LIKELY THIS WEEKEND...

A COLD CANADIAN AIRMASS WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO THE REGION TONIGHT...
BRINGING THE FIRST HARD FREEZE AND POSSIBLY RECORD COLD TO THE
REGION THIS WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO FALL INTO THE MIDDLE
20S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA BY SUNDAY MORNING WHICH COULD BREAK
RECORD LOW TEMPERATURE FOR MANY LOCATIONS THAT WERE SET IN THE
FIRST PART OF THE 20TH CENTURY. ADDITIONALLY HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL NOT WARM VERY MUCH AS READING DURING THE DAY MAY STRUGGLE TO
EVEN REACH THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 40S FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE HIGHS IN THE
LOWER 70S AND LOWS IN THE MIDDLE 40S.

Gotta love those Canadians and their airmasses. I hope all the mosquitos, ticks and fleas die horrible deaths and some of the flowers survive. That's how I roll.
