here's a live look outside right now. beautiful day. bob's taking the credit. he has a smile on his face. i have never seen forsythia blooming this early in my entire life. usually at my parents' house it

would bloom april 15, 20th. i have seen it blooming all over the place because it's been so warm all winter long. now with these temperatures 20 degrees above normal things are a month or more ahead of time. trees are blooming all over the place. let's look at temps and conditions right now. it's still at 71, which is pretty much going to be your high because remember our sun now is not going down until after seven. so we are at the peak heat of the day now. 71 degrees. humidity is way down. it's a very dry air mass. only 32% humidity. even though there is some showers in the west, it's going to take a lot to moisten up this atmosphere. the chances of a shower are slim. maybe a shower overnight, maybe a shower tomorrow but it will be isolated. southwest winds at 9. barometer holding steady. they do have some rain in oakland. they are down to 50 because of that. 72, however, 50 miles to the east in the valley at 72.

57 ocean city. still 71 over in washington. now, locally temperatures running, as i said, anywhere close to the water it's cooler of course because the bay temperature is in the 40s. still 10, 15, 20 degrees above normal this time of year. saturday was a pretty chilly day. only in the 40s as that high moved off east coast. the winds right back to the south and southwest. that's what brought in this warm air. you see this low pressure spinning right over iowa? it has shower activity i don't see any snowflakes at all on this particular system. even up across northern minnesota it's mild enough for showers. you see some shower activity to the west and most of it, ohio, pennsylvania is going to pass to the northwest. we may get clipped by a few showers tonight. again tomorrow maybe a shower or rumble of thunder in a couple of spots but i am not expecting a whole lot of rain out of this. essentially it's going to stay warm because there is no cold

air moving into the united states. once this high sets up again we will see mild temperatures. pretty much 70s all week long. by the end of the week we may start seeing some easterly winds and that will dropping temperatures and increase our chance of scattered showers. sunrise, all right, 7:20. yeah. so if your kids is taking the bus in the morning. still dark. look at that. 7:12 p.m. tonight sunday sets. pretty amazing. tonight mostly cloudy and mild. 50 degrees. a few showers possible overnight. a shower, maybe a rumble of thunder in a couple of spots. look at that temperature tomorrow at 76 degrees. normal high at 52 degrees tomorrow. so these temperatures once again are more like may than march. and that's why it's been so crazy out there. the jetstream has been so far north in canada. none of these air masses from

canada have made it in for any length of time. maybe a day. that's about it. >> let's hope this changes about the summer. >> i don't want it to be that hot. that's for sure. still to come, a major scare on the college park campus. the allegations against this university of maryland student ,
