By Eamon Scarbrough STAFF WRITER [email protected] A freeze is coming to the eastern Plains, but don’t get too comfortable in those winter coats. The cold weather isn’t expected to last. The season’s first frost is expected this weekend — lows should be around 25 degrees early Saturday morning — but “it’s gonna be warming up Sunday,” according to Meteorologist Randall Hergert of the National Weather Service in Albuquerque. Staff photo: Tony Bullocks “We have lows of 34 and a high of 74 A crew from Bixby Electric of Albuquerque replace a damaged traffic signal pole Thursday afternoon at the intersection of Prince on Sunday, and then a little bit warmer still on Monday. We’ve got a low of 37 and East First streets in Clovis. Foreman Andre Jim said the crew also replaced a damaged signal pole at the intersection of Prince (on Monday).” and 14th streets. Hergert added that another round of cold weather will likely hit Monday night into Tuesday morning, with a “warming trend after that.” The freezes aren’t expected to bring snow, either, he said.

Likely not all By Laurie Kellman and Deb Riechmann THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Scholars and sleuths are wait- ing — and waiting — to leap on the release of John F. Kennedy assassination files. The National Archives spilled remaining secrets from that crucible of history Thursday, unless President Donald Trump has been per- suaded by intelligence agencies to hold some back. A law from 25 years ago requires the gov- ernment to put the thousands of documents out by this date, though some may stay hidden. For historians, it’s a chance to answer lingering questions, put some unfounded conspira- cy theories to rest, perhaps give life to other theories — or none of that. No blockbusters are expect- ed, but who knows? The Archives said earlier this year that while it can’t judge the rel- evancy of such documents, it assumed they would be “tan- gential” to what’s known about President Kennedy’s killing in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Still, interest is intense, and it’s possible that as this chapter of history comes alive, it might quickly fall back into tempo- rary invisibility. Servers are bound to be stressed by people looking for the online-only files. Some non-government websites specializing in JFK records were difficult to access Thursday morning, before any- thing came out. Trump was a bit coy about Maney, a presidential historian “Clearly there are docu- the release on the eve of it, at Boston College. ments, plural, files, plural, tweeting: “The long anticipated The collection includes more being appealed to him,” release of the #JFKFiles will than 3,100 documents — com- University of Virginia historian take place tomorrow.
