Monday we will clear up nicely with a high of 83 and then we will stay in the upper 70s around 80s throughout the middle of the next week. The that is your seven day forecast, little less than perfect, dave but arent we all. Say the same thing about the traffic, sue, and traffic reporter this morning. 422, westbound, the accident there all lanes are blocked, and this is right at 29, it looks like they are trying to clear it up here but might have have to go around this here at 422.
