>> big changes across a big chunk of the country. there's a solid cold front . we have that rain and clouds right now extending anywhere from the northeast all the way back down to the south. that is the weathermaker. ahead of that, warm temperatures. behind it cold temperatures. take a quick screen grab of that. as i change the graphic you're going to see those temperatures in the 60s all the way up to boston . do you see the 30s in chicago, minneapolis, down into kansas city , spreading south and spreading east as well. when do they get into the i-95 corridor and down into the south? it looks like into the day tomorrow. by the way check out dallas at 54 degrees. and our high is only 55. we see near 80 degrees in the washington. mid 70s new york and boston today. atlanta at 81 degrees. but again that, cold air is going to make its way in as we head into the second half of the weekend. ayayay. there are the 50s for you. boston down into d.c. and atlanta 67 degrees for a high for you. alex, back to you.
