live look outside right now. another beautiful day. and warming up. bob? >> all right. >> officially today. one month to spring. four months, the beginning of summer. >> like it. >> and -- >> best winter ever. >> and unofficially. meteorological winter ends on march 1st. that's right. meteorological spring begins on march 1st.

even though officially, spring doesn't begin until march 21st. it's a long story. let's take a look at temps, conditions. it's the 3 months of the year they're the coldest. they were divided into four quarters. 49 now. south winds at 10. going to keep us a lot warmer tonight than last night. we got down to 23. barometer, holding steady. 30.00 inches right now. currently, we're at 50 in washington. easton and patuxent. 40 in elkton. 43 out in oakland. mountains, even warmer up there. kent island, by the bay. it would stay much warmer tonight. downtown baltimore only got to 35 last night. believe it or not. didn't even get below freezing. but the airport, literally, 8, 9 miles south of the downtown. got to 23 degrees. these are what we call microclimates. a huge difference, 23 to 35 in 8 or 9 miles. that's why, sometimes when we

put those temperatures up, they really don't represent the whole area. it's just the average temperature. essentially, it's based on what we expect to happen at the airport. because that's the official reading for this market. 46, 28 are the averages now. just came up another degree. and by next week, goes up again. 74, the record high, 1930. 1885. way back in 1885. 8 above zero. right now, souther loo -- southerly winds will keep us mild tonight. milder thursday. winds go back to the southwest. this morning, a few clouds to the north of us. during the day, a weak frontal system. clouds now moved east of the area. let me clear that very nicely. there's that low pressure in the upper midwest. it headed however, toward michigan. not toward us. so the main energy, and snow shower activity, well to our north and northwest. you can see what's happening. the winds are going to go more to the southwest as that little vortex of low pressure passes into canada.

tonight, 10 to 12 degrees warmer than last night. and tomorrow, about 10 degrees or more warmer than today. so mild to even warmer on thursday. yes, winds go directly from the southwest. maybe a brief shower tomorrow night as the warm air moves in thursday. could easily get into the upper 60s. if we get a lot of sun, it may get to 70 degrees. in virginia, guaranteed to be 70 down that way. southwest winds, gusting to 20 knots. bay temp, around 42 degrees. so tonight, it's called patchy clouds later on. not as cool as last night. 35, probably 40 in the city. 62 degrees tomorrow afternoon. with sun and some clouds. a little on the breezy side, as the winds go back to the southwest. but these temperatures tomorrow are running, as you see, 15 to 18 degrees above normal, once again. >> wonderful. >> which has been the key all weekend long. >> starting to break out the spf30. still to come on eyewitness
