happening live right now on news channel 8. let's talk about the forecast. a rainy day not only in annapolis but all over. doug: heavy rain has yet to move into the metro area. our concern is that so much rain may fall combined with the snow and snow melt to produce localized flooding. let's give you the latest. a live look to start out on our weatherbug network. this is saintly a and fairfax -- this is saintly a in fairfax. i think it is going to get mighty warm. you go up in the clouds it is warmer overhead than it is at ground level. cold air is denser plus we have cold ground from the snow. a look at temperatures and rainfall in myersville in frederick county. 86 hundredths of an inch. almost a half inch in martinsburg.

the question is the timing. we think the heaviest rain should be out of the metro area east of the i-95 corridor by 4:30 or 5:00. it is moving quickly but there is a lot of rain to deal with. as we get through the afternoon heaviest rain through the metro area about 3:00. it shifts to the east area the steady rain will be just east of the city. later tonight, clearing skies. pop-up showers. generally the weather will improve. as far as how much rain, anywhere from a half inch to an inch. some spots could get double that. six before is our number. we see how close we get to that in spots. it will be mild as we go through the afternoon hours. tomorrow, highs to 50 degrees. the weekend looks great. partly cloudy skies, about 50 degrees. it will turn cooler next week with late showers -- with

unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.
