Temperatures are expected to drop this weekend...big time!  Tomorrow we expect temperatures to get to 80 degrees.  Inland may be a bit warmer.  A strong cold front swings through Friday night dropping temps to the upper 40s.  Then, Saturday we'll see a high near 50.  A 30 degree drop in 24 hours.  A lot of people around here use the saying "If you don't like the weather in Hampton Roads, then just wait a while and it will change."  I don't want to kill the romance in that statement, but everyone east of the Mississippi River says that. 

For instance... when I was going to college at the University of Illinois one year we saw an amazing drop.  One day it was 48 degrees and partly cloudy.  It was nice out for late Winter/early Spring.  Some people were in shorts even.  (Illinois people aren't crazy.  They just crave warm air).  Anyway, the next day the temperature hovered around -2.  That was either February or March. It goes to show you that we're not alone. 

Course it would be nice if the cold air would wait a day or two until after the weekend.  Hmm
