11:14 pm
northeast winds and that's holding temperatures down. 20's to near 30 in far western maryland. here you can see that area of cold air being pushed down by high pressure but there's some warm air off to the southwest. right now it's high pressure providing the clouds and mist and chilly air but eventually this system to the west will win and ahead of that, there's a sourly flow of air and that will -- southerly flow of air and that will bring the temperatures up and end the risk of freezing rain or drizzle. maybe rain showers toward day break. depends on where the temperatures will be. but the lows overnight, 28 to 32 degrees. there is a frain dwiles -- freezing rain advisory in effect until past the morning rush hour tomorrow. 47 to 51 the high tomorrow. a nice warm .
