let's switch over and take a look at what's causing this. a stalled car off to the west. dividing line between arctic air and a nice mild air in the east coast. in the teens and 20's across the northern plain and 50's and 60's in the southeast. you get the showers and even a few thunderstorms. right now like i said mostly light rain for us but it could pick up in intensity as that boundary gets closer and see the rain extends all the way back to chicago. it will take a while to clear out. probably through this evening and early tonight. 57 at the airplanes, 54 in parkton. we're not going to move much with the temperatures. maybe low to mid 60's this afternoon. the rain will end early, the skies will clear and it will turn much colder. drop into the 30's. some of you in the northern suburbs up near the pennsylvania line might drop down close to 72 degrees and get the first freeze this evening.

so keep that in mind if you want to save some of the plants, sensitive to the cold, cover them up because after the skies clear it will get cold tonight. could be some frost tomorrow morning and the sunshine will push them into the 50's. up to 54 on friday. another system comes in on saturday and yes i still think it will be cold enough for a few snow flakes to mix in with the rain drops. not talking about any accumulations but still a chilly day on saturday. highs in the 40's, clear up for the ravens game on sunday and halloween looks ok as well, sunshine and temps in the low 60's. let's see what's happening on the roads. here's kim. >> good morning everyone. unfortunately it looks like route 1 in cecil county will remain shutdown for most of the day. that's what we're being told by police right now. it's closed between route 22 right there on the dam because of an earlier accident. you'll want to take 95 pretty much all day as your alternate instead of that to avoid that
