winds calm. barometer is at 30 .29. it's a mild morning in the traditionally chilly spot of the state at this time of the day. it's 50 degrees in oakland, 25 -- 52 westminster. here's current first warning doppler weather radar. we've had one wave of showers move through the area. another wave is moving our way. i really think we may not clear this out until the middle of the midday. to be quite honest, this frontal boundary has slowed up a bit. today it was supposed to be a little bit warmer than 63. that's what it's going to be. by tomorrow though we are going to see temperatures move into the mid 70s before chilly air gets in here for the week end

today 63, showers. tonight clouds 53 mild. tomorrow 72 degrees will be the high, 74 friday. watch for showers friday afternoon and friday night. here comes that cold front. 66 clearing skies on saturday. sunday and monday check it out, in the mid 50s, below normal. the chill of fall returns. let's go straight to sharon gibala at wjz traffic control. >> good morning. if you are just about to head out we have a couple new accidents to add to the mix. one of them on 100 westbound. that one right in the area of 95. we are seeing delays in that area. 32 eastbound past 108 still blocking two lanes there. east patacso avenue 3rd, a possible pedestrian struck there. east cold spring lane at evans chapel road and another one at northern parkway at lawing. we have delays on the top and west side
