Tomorrow's weather column by WKRG's Alan Sealls:

We've traveled a long road of winter heat and humidity, at least by January standards. We're finally at the rest stop and it's time to get outside and stretch. We may have to get back on the road to warmth next week but for now enjoy what we have. I'm not saying unseasonably warm weather is all gone but we are back to more typical January weather for several days.

We win a good deal of sunshine today and tomorrow. It's perfect for a parade, fabulous for football, and outstanding for being out standing, or walking, or driving... Highs today and tomorrow will be in the middle or lower 60s. We'll keep a light northerly or northeasterly wind. Tonight and tomorrow night we tumble into the middle 30s. Inland counties will have a light freeze. It will be cold but that's about right for late January.

The new week starts the same calm and seasonable way. We'll warm gradually, back to near 70 with higher humidity. By Wednesday or Thursday we'll likely see showers to wash away some of the pollen or to make it stick better to your car.
