Just for grins, I've copied the forecast put out by "Eye on the Sky" - Mark Breen and Steve Maleski from the Fairbanks Museum in St. J on Sunday morning. They don't hype the weather - it's factual and accurate. It will be curious to compare their prognostication skills with those of the TV types...
Their forecast is:
