maureen: sign of things to come. doug: pretty much. but it will clear out nicely. get on track for a couplenitis days. give you a time lapse from northwest washington. the weather bug site along idaho avenue in northwest. and it was really a great looking scene this morning with the clouds and the rain. what a day to get up and head to work. skies brighten midday. the sun came out. the second part of the system came in with more heavy clouds and rain to get the small hail over on the bay. that, too,is the forecast going forward. temperatures, if you are headed out this evening, a jacket you will need. we are in the low to mid-50's. the temperatures drop the next several hours as the winds pick up. chill in the air. 50 in winchester. 56 in washington, d.c. frederick at 55. same in fredericksburg. 55 right now at andrews air force base. or joint base andrews. same place, and different names. overnight turns clear and cool.

15 miles per hour will add a chill to the air. so probably when you wake up in the morning you can probably take three or four degrees off whatever the air temperature is because that is what will feel like outside. a real reminder that fall is here. the rain as we speak continues to just kind of feather away here on the radar. number system is through, the air is dry. we will see clearing trend. it will be bright and sunny tomorrow. we will see breezy conditions throughout the day. 44 for pickup time for the kids 55 at recess. plenty of sunshine dismissal time mid-afternoon when the temperature hits 62 degrees. responsible, high pressure building in the area. cold front is through. we have the temperatures running through tomorrow and friday into the low to mid-60's. but then the front comes through midday on friday. the winds get stronger. this is going to bring in a brief but a very strong push of cold air. so much so we have to the coldest high temperatures of the season so far. on saturday with the highs
