Speaker 5 (03:38):
For tonight, a.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Couple of showers around late, we have a low in
the mid fifties with some clouds otherwise, and then when
you're looking ahead to the weekend, it's gonna be one
of those weekends where one day is probably better than
the rest, and Saturday is not going to be that day.
We have some heavy rain to start the weekend, even
a couple of thunderstorms possible, high in the low to
mid sixties, windy, with a bit of sun on Sunday.
(03:59):

and a high in the mid fifties. It's raining in
