alex wallace. alex? >> good sunday to you, craig. as we check things out for the next few days, a much brighter scenario for us in the northeast. we're talking about this weekend. it was quite cool, dreary, damp, giving way to warmer conditions as we work towards the midweek. in fact, we'll start to notice it as we head to our memorial day. a lot of people stuck in the 50s now in the 60s and 70s. into the middle of the country also going to see things warming up here. 71 expected in and around chicago. you head down to st. louis, 80 degrees for your afternoon so not too bad as you fire up the grills. on the west coast, watching for some wet weather. that will continue from seattle all the way down to northern california. and the other thing we'll be watching very closely is the middle of the country as we head into the middle of next week. there will be the threat of strong and severe storms coming back into the heartland. we'll watch closely for damaging winds and hail as well as even a few tornadoes. for now enjoy the rest of your
