Even though our Friday will dawn bright and sunny, there will be quite a chill in the air as temperatures have plummeted into the middle 40s with a few upper 30s to our north and deeper inland.

Lots of sunshine during the afternoon will warm us back into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Combine these below average temperatures with low humidity and we're on track for a beautiful day as we close out the week.

"But keep in mind the strain that was transmitted from people to cats particularly 2 years ago originated in the seasonal flu virus strain, pretty much the same strain that is circulating now."

DR. LOEHR SAYS FLU SPREAD TO PETS FROM HUMANS IT COULD INDICATE A SERIOUS VIRUS MUTATION.

"And it would indicate it is more aggressive than before."

MICROBIOLOGIST DR. SHELLEY RANKIN SAYS THE FLU IS AN ANIMAL DISEASE SPREAD TO HUMANS BUT SHE SAYS THERE IS NO FIRM RESEARCH THE FLU IS MOVING FROM HUMANS TO PETS.

"But for this particular strain of flu the outbreak that is occurring now, we don't have any evidence that it has occurred."

COMES UNDER FIRE ON CAPITOL HILL.

OBAMA CABINET SHAKEUP-PKG

PKG SCRIPT:

Senator John Kerry takes the oath of office today as Secretary State --

replacing Hillary Clinton, who heads off into retirement with a big question

still lingering.

Will she run for President?

SOT Clinton

"I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT, BUT I AM GOING TO GET BACK INTO MY LIFE

AGAIN. / THIS IS GOING TO BE NEW FOR ME. I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO

REACT TO IT TO BE HONEST."

Senator Kerry takes over the State Department after cruising to confirmation

from the Senate.

President Obama's choice to run the Pentagon is a different story.

At his confirmation hearing Thursday, former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel,

a Vietnam veteran, took heavy fire from members of his own party for his

opposition to the 2007 troop surge in Iraq.

SOT McCain & Hagel at hearing

McCain: "WERE YOU CORRECT OR INCORRECT WHEN YOU SAID THAT THE SURGE WOULD BE

THE MOST DANGEROUS FOREIGN POLICY BLUNDER IN THIS COUNTRY SINCE VIETNAM?"

Hagel: "MY"

MCCAIN: "WERE YOU CORRECT OR INCORRECT?"

Hagel: "WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A 'YES' OR 'NO' ANSWER ON A LOT OF

THINGS."

MCCAIN: "WELL, LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT YOU REFUSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

"

Hagel was also hammered by GOP senators who believe he is being soft

on Iran and too tough on Israel.

He was even grilled about referring to pro-Israeli groups as "the Jewish

lobby."

SOT Hagel

"I SHOULD HAVE USED ANOTHER TERM. I'M SORRY. I REGRET IT."

Hagel didn't exactly help his chances when he misstated President Obama's

position on Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.

SOT HAGEL

"I'VE JUST BEEN HANDED A NOTE THAT I MISSPOKE AND SAID I SUPPORTED THE

OBAMA CABINET SHAKEUP-ONCAM

FORECAST-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

Chilly mornings, mild afternoons"

After a little bit of rain yesterday, we're in store for a pleasant stretch of weather with chilly mornings and mild afternoons. The last of the cloud cover has pushed across the far southern tip of the peninsula with clear skies across our part of the state. Even though our Friday will dawn bright and sunny, there will be quite a chill in the air as temperatures have plummeted into the middle 40s with a few upper 30s to our north and deeper inland.

Lots of sunshine during the afternoon will warm us back into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Combine these below average temperatures with low humidity and we're on track for a beautiful day as we close out the week.
