Why do we have an underrated Pat Benatar album on the brain today? Because Skilling Central predicts the mercury will reach 50 degrees today, which is practically tanning weather around here. These southwest winds blowing across the area will begin to gust as we approach afternoon, helping with the post-Christmas/pre-New Year's thaw and bringing hazy conditions across the area. Expect the pleasant mix of clouds and sun we enjoyed Friday as well, as we begin the fast drop to single digit temps and bitter cold to send out 2013.
