1. Expect another beautiful but chilly day today. Progress, not perfection, right? The National Weather Service predicts a high near 40 with a noticeable northwest wind. If you were in Jackman, Maine, today, you’d be much colder (the high is predicted to be about 28). And if you were just south of Tucson, AZ, well, you’d be looking at nearly 80 degrees. Just in case you were wondering.
