Sultry weekend ahead...

The NY Times weather copywriter is getting creative - but when the map of the states on the back of the sports page is shades of orange every day, I suppose variation is called for.

Today's metropolitan forecast into the weekend describes the next few days as being: humid, muggy, some sun, mostly sunny, sticky, and - my personal favorite - sultry.

Metropolitan Forecast:
TODAY........ Some sun, more humid
TONIGHT....... Warm and muggy
TOMORROW....... Mostly sunny, sticky
FRIDAY....... Hot, humid, a shower
SATURDAY/SUNDAY....... Sultry, showers Sunday
"Saturday will be sunny and sultry. It will again be hot and humid on Sunday, and spotty thundershowers will develop as another front approaches."
