I'll be here tomorrow morning six to seven o'clock so you could check in with me and I'll give you what the exact temperature is and I expect them to be in the twenties. Pretty much widespread" immediately after saying, "Clear skies, north winds -- those north winds are going to be bringing down that cold air from up north; and look at Nashville right now, sitting at eighteen degrees, so obviously some very cold air just to our north that's going to help dip our temperatures tonight".
