In the case of 20s, don't use the symbol see example in 5th para. 20s is a range. 20s - 60s is a range of ranges. "... lows ranging in the 20s-60s degrees ºF and highs ranging 40s-80s ºF" is a list of ranges of ranges. Not saying it fails, but it could be tidier. | |

| Jul 19, 2017 at 22:06 | comment | added | Kace36 | It's very common to just use "degrees" in plural form when talking about temperatures whether you have a singular or plural so I wouldn't worry about it. Looks good to me except you need a comma after nationally and one just before "and highs" | |
