We salute you, weekend weather. You do what you must, all for the good of the city. And you remain one of the few aspects of this city that has gone untaxed. Not that we want to give anyone any ideas...It'll start off nice, anyway. The sunny skies that greet us this morning will cloud over as the day goes on and there will be just the slightest chance of a shower. Temps will be in the mid 30s but brisk winds might make feel chillier. Tonight, the rain comes. We'll narrowly miss a freezing rain/sleet mix as temps will actually rise into the upper 30s overnight, before dipping to the lower 30s at daybreak. Be sure to wear your boots and raincoat if you have any energy left to hit the town. And what a town it is.
