here's a live look outside

right now. courtesy of sky eye chopper 13. >> un believable. >> we had a few clouds this morning. sunshine boosted temperatures once again this afternoon. into the 50s. most every location. take a look at temps right now. we're still at 53. the dew points pretty low. humidities also pretty low. west/northwest winds at 7. barometer, 30.2 inches. it will be falling later tonight. currently, 53 here in d.c. and pax river. 52 in easton. and 49 up in elkton and ocean city. cold spot, oakland, yet 46. still kind of wintry out there, with snow on the ground. 51 in annapolis and kent island and rock hall coming in at 50 degrees. 54, 36 today. the average now has gone up again. 45. the average low now up to 27. 77 back in 1949. the record high, 1943. 6 above zero here in february. right now, a light west/northwest wind. we had a stronger wind earlier.

but it's beginning to calm down. tomorrow, the wins probably go back again to the ocean component. that will bring in ocean moisture. it's not really well organized. but it is moving across the midwest. it will be here tomorrow. look for rain and drizzle. temperatures probably stay in the mid- to upper 40s tomorrow, with the cloud cover. to our north, maybe a little snow to the great lakes. to the south, thunderstorm activity, could be severe weather west of the mississippi. lot of moisture coming in. for our region, it will be moving in our direction, as a batch of rain, drizzle. already see some clouds just to our west. late tonight, the cloud comes in tomorrow. occasional rain and drizzle. and once this passes through the region, there's another batch of mild air behind it, at least temporarily. for friday, temperatures again in the 50s. start the weekend. but there is another fly in the ointment. way down across the gulf of mexico, we expect maybe a low pressure to develop. it could pass to our south and bring us nothing.

that's about the most likely scenario. but there's a slight chance if that storm gets a little closer to our region, may just be cold enough on sunday afternoon, for a little rain-snow mixture, it's possible. but only now, a 20% chance of that happening. so even though we showed that in our five-day forecast, the chances for that precip on sunday are not very positive at this point. well, some people really would like to see some snow here. doesn't look like it will be much of anything, even if we get it. southeast winds, 10 to 15 knots. on the bay, small craft advisory. lifted at 6:00 tonight. suise, check that out. sets at 5:43. bay temp heading up to 42. tonight, we'll see increasing clouds. 32 by morning. the average low, 27. tomorrow, occasional mild rain and drizzle in the region. mid- to upper 40s tomorrow. and then sunshine, back low to mid-50s again on friday. >> okay. >> wonderful. thank you, bob. still to come on eyewitness news tonight.
