locally, temperatures around the low 50s. this time of year, our normal high back in the low 60s. so we have been running, 8, 9, 10 degrees cooler than average. we still have that breeze. later tonight, this is when we expect to see the temperatures fall. the winds diminish. last night we had a bit of a breeze. which turns the atmosphere over. temperatures can't fall. quite as cold. unless you have light winds and clear skies. temperatures will be a little higher. last night, we only got down to 38. tonight, probably only getting to 31, 32. demending where you live. good chance you'll see frost and freezing additions tonight. much milder air in the upper midwest. winnipeg, 32. milder air should generally be heading our direction. the really cold stuff up here in ontario and quebec. it's going to probably stay there, and they expect to see some snow there tomorrow. for us, a lot of sunshine. maybe a bit of a breeze still tomorrow. and that a weak front across the northern central portion of the united states. not going to change temperatures.

in fact, we'll probably stay around the upper 50s to low 60s. this afternoon, still a few rain showers. had some snow earlier. but rain showers up there, across portions of new york state. now, tonight, much of jersey, delaware, eastern shore. central p.a., and all of central maryland, down in virginia. once again tonight, you didn't get croft last night or freezing temps, you probably will. the exception, by the bay. the metro areas will not see temperatures that cold. now, during the day tomorrow. high pressure begins to move to the south. that means warmer southwest breezes come in. milder temps for the weekend. and into next week. southwest winds at 10 to 15. still a breeze out there tomorrow. but it will be milder. 62 is the bay temp. overnight tonight, yeah, frost by morning. many spots. that. probably 39 in the city. and then tomorrow, 59, sunshine. and warmer than today by about 5 or 6 degrees. so to feel a little better. and the sun should feel pretty good, too. >> great. thank you, bob. still to come on eyewitness
