The Northeast will cool down over the weekend, spike to above-normal heating needs for Monday and Tuesday, but then settle back to just under normal for the rest of next week. The Midwest will be a lot cooler than it was in record- mild January, but still a little milder than normal.

U.S. heating demands will shift back toward normal going into the middle stretch of January.

Extremely mild weather will continue this entire week, stretching the run of mild weeks assuredly to eight. Though cooler, the following week may yet be mild enough to leave a ninth week in the run of mild weeks that have spanned the core of this heating season.

Oh yeah, Alex will play this weekend. Absolutely. He needs to play now. He'll have plenty of time to get himself ready.

We had a lot of people over the weekend come in, ... They were picking up basic needs: diapers, baby formula, something to clean dentures.

We played a very good team in San Diego this weekend and we knew at some point they were going to make a run after we tamed their bats in the first two games. They jumped out early in the final game but we had an answer and another good comeback in us. Our team is playing very confident right now, they believe in each other and that's great to see.
