dari: with space at a premium, the so-called tiny house movement -- christina: >> we're going to see temperatures very comfortable. we have readings in the 50s to 60 in central park. and that is setting us up for a comfortable evening and a mild weekend is ahead of us. not just for us but for much of the northeast. we have readings in the 50s in boston as well as towards albany. it's 51 in buffalo. 58 in pittsburgh. in d.c., the temperature is at 62. we did have a batch of clouds roll through the area. there's some thin ones around. there's a bit of a slot where we see drier or clearer weather and that will be here tomorrow morning when you wake up. then there's another batch of clouds off to the west. that will come in towards the afternoon. our main focus is on an area of

like much over the rocky mountain states. this will move eastward in the next couple of days. it will bring us a chance of rain as we go into the beginning of the week. ahead of it, we have a warm surge of air across the eastern seaboard. that's why we have the temperatures above average. the jet stream will continue to sit to our north through the weekend. expect warm air to encompass us right through the beginning of next week. temperatures tomorrow mostly in the 60s around the northeast. we'll be in the 70s to our south like in raleigh and atlanta. miami will be nice with a high of 81. behind the frontal system, you can see that temperatures are taking a drop in the northern plains states where they'll have readings in the 30s and 40s. we'll see cold air in our area. it's not going to happen for a week. we're going to say with above average temperatures as we go through the majority of next week. our futurecast shows we'll have mainly clear skies through the overnight into early tomorrow morning. and tomorrow afternoon, we'll see a batch of clouds work into

associated with them. the sky might dim a little with cloud cover, but don't expect rain out of the system. looks like on sunday, we'll have a lot of clouds in place and the sun will struggle to break through, but the big talk will be the temperatures. they'll be soaring to well above average for saturday and sunday. it will be near record highs. we might break a record or two across the region saturday and sunday. partly cloudy with nice temperatures. we will be around 50 in the city. we'll be cooler than that north and west with readings in the 30s. tomorrow we'll start out with plenty of sunshine, sun and clouds in the afternoon and temperatures will be in the low to mid 60s. tomorrow -- sunday we'll go with clouds and sun and temperatures above average. we start off wet with rain on monday. temperatures stay above average, in the 50s. we should be in the 40s for highs. you can see we're not going to get there until the end of next week, which would be a big cold spell that will move across the region next weekend.
