a live look outside right now. beautiful friday. let's keep it this way. keep the snow away from here. >> you gotta keep this in mind. it's 53 degrees this afternoon. tomorrow is going to be 53, 54. the ground is very, very warm. even saturday night. the ground stays warm. the temperatures don't even get to freezing until later in the day on sunday. so even if we see snow on sunday, which is a pretty good chance, a lot of it is going to melt when it comes down, until sunday night, when it gets colder. so even though some of these snowfall amounts you see around, i think a lot of it is just going to melt. and mainly on the grass and trees once again. any slush by sunday night, if it's left out, some of it will probably freeze. because we do expect it to go freezing. late sunday night and early monday morning. and that's really the only caveat to this storm coming

this weekend. going to be like a stream kind -- spring kind of storm. west/northwest wind, 13, the barometer, holding steady right now. 52 here. 54, and 54. oddly enough, places to the south will probably get more snow than places to the north, which is a little unusual for our region. because it's normally a lot colder here and they get more snow. this storm is going to be so far south that once you get across the pa border, may not be a flake of snow. 34 in oakland. heaviest amounts are going to be down here in the mountains of southwest virginia, west virginia areas. and maybe southwest of d.c. could see a couple of inches. 54 now over in ocean city. currently, we're at 48 up in westminster. and the low 50s down by the bay. 53, 36. still way above normal. 45, 27. and the records, 1976. look at that. 76, like that. 1958. 3 above zero. right now, pretty good breeze brought in dry air around the

region. lots of sunshine. here's the problem we have. a little area of low pressure, over arizona, new mexico. it's heading down to the southeast. right now, it's not even the storm. there's rain down here. there's rain in texas, where the drought was the last few years. this was welcome relief for those folks. it will all congeal into one low pressure moving across the carolinas. by sunday, at going to be right on the carolina coast. if it's a little closer to the south, we don't get a flake of snow here. 50 miles further to the north. and yes, we will see snow and probably accumulating snow. there will be colder air, funneling in from the northwest. even the models show the precip, just m reaching -- reaching the mason-dixon line with the heaviest lines down to the south and east. the heaviest areas, in our general region, maybe 1 to 3 inches possible. a wet snow, mainly in the trees. and then by sunday night, storm is gone. it will get breezy behind it

and dry things out quickly. south winds on the bay, keep us in the mild air. bay temp, around 42 degrees. tonight, clear. down around 30, with the winds dying down overnight. tomorrow, sunny, beautiful, 54 degrees. >> gosh. >> then in the 30s, with snow, rain, then eventually probably all snow on sunday afternoon and evening. >> okay. >> thank you, bob. still to come on eyewitness news tonight. maryland state senators take disciplinary action engage -- against a colleague for the first time in a decade. first major ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
