>> it turned out to be a pretty nice day today. the temperature made it up to 60 degrees, but it felt cooler than that because the winds were gusting at 40 miles an hour at times. now has diminished and that is important because we are setting up something we called good radiation a kaline tonight. we have all three things in place tonight. high pressure in new england, this warm front is going to make it through sometime during the day tomorrow. upper 60's tomorrow and maybe 70's on wednesday. in the short term between now and then it will get kind of gold. here is the first element we were talking about. the skies are perfectly clear tonight. earlier this afternoon gusts of up to 30 miles an hour and now they are nearly calm. relative humidity is that 48%.

that is a little deceiving. dewpoints are running in the 20's. that is the third element. the temperatures are starting to drop off pretty fast now. in the northwest suburbs, already down into the 30's. 37 in frederick. for those in the far northwest suburbs, the temperatures have probably dropped close to freezing. frost and freeze advisories are in effect. the purple shaded areas have dropped down to 30 or 32. carroll county, frederick county, you'll probably see temperatures at least that cold in the morning. if you were out early in the garden and you plan something you should not have, you have a chance to still go out and cover it up before the temperatures drop off that far. chilly, cold, frost like the guy tomorrow morning in the northwest suburbs. a round the city, we will stay in the upper 30's to around 40 degrees.

tomorrow, high pressure will be close enough to keep the rain away but we will watch the storm system coming across the plains states. it looks pretty impressive, and it will be tomorrow, but i think it will fall apart a little bit before it gets to our neighborhood. the temperatures will jump up nicely. mostly sunny tomorrow and after a cold start we will make it up to 67 in the afternoon. sunrise at 6:47. the average high temperature of 60, we are seven degrees above average. the record high of 88 was set back in 1963. much better boating than it was today. variable winds at 10 nots. the forecast, 71 on wednesday, 30% chance for some rain showers in the morning but wins that will be the warmest out of the next seven days.

dropping into the 50's on thursday and friday. a 30% chance of rain on opening day on friday. probably not in the delays. the same thing on easter sunday, 30% chance for a shower with a high near 60 four. >> it seems like just a moment ago, the first ever opening day at oriole's part. how the birds will commemorate, coming up next in sports. >> the maryland lottery, let yourself play. >> good evening. the ninth jackpot has an estimated annuity of $500,000. 18-31-41-26-43-38.
