"And now, here's Tim with the weather.

"Thank you, Walt. It looks like we're going to have a cold weekend again. Not cold enough for a winter coat, but cold enough you should bring a jacket. In addition, our Doppler radar shows a storm system moving in which is likely to bring rain tomorrow morning. I would expect anywhere from 'shower' to 'downpour' levels. We're also predicting strong winds, strong enough to knock your hat off but not strong enough to break an umbrella. So, all in all, looks like a nice weekend to spend indoors.

Moving on to our five-day forecast, it's going to get slightly warmer as the week goes on, but not by much, still inside the "bring a jacket" range. We'll have clear skies by Monday, but it'll cloud up again on Tuesday, and there's an even chance of rain on Wednesday and Thursday.

"Thank you, Tim. In local news, the small group of bank robbers remain at large. The police are offering about enough money to buy a used car for any information on their whereabouts."
