last week, nothing hpened, and then this week, everything seemed to happen. we have all of those winds -- some areas saw 70, even 80-mile-an-hour winds potentially from that stormast night. it was just aamazing, but today a big differce. most of the wind has now died down, and behind it se cooler air is now moving in across the area. outside right now, cool temperatures into the 30s, most everybody, at least, into t 40s. a high temperature today was actually around midnight. 12:47 this morning, we hit a high of 65 degrees. temperatures rose last night ahead of that storm as it made its way on through. lows tonight of 49 degrees. that's actually the current temperature. today will be yet another day above average, and wind at the airport last night with those storms just after midnight. 54-mil an hour winds recorded at the airport. right now winds at 40 miles an hour, dew point around 33, so

we're definitely drying out. that's going to allow temperatures to cool down overnight and we're already down in the 30s. 44 in sterling, 44 up towards frederick. clear skies right now. if you go outside right now and you look up, you may see a meteor. we have some meteor showers out there. you can also see jupiter, ur anus and a half moon as you look directly up into the night sky. degrees. it is going to be a cool morning. we'll start off with some sunshine, but we'll watch a storm system that right now is bringing rain to st. louis. that storm system will move closer to our area but it's really not going to affect us all that much. it's a weak storm and willet any weaker over the next 24 hours. here comes that storm off to the west, but once again, it will be falling apart. it will move through tomorrow with some cloud cover, maybe a sprinkle, but for the most part, i think most of us will stay on the dry side. what will make its way in here,

though, is some cooler air for tomorrow night and into the day on friday. i think friday morning will be a very chilly morning as high pressure will be dominating the reon. tomorrow morning, mostly clear skies. still a little on the breezy side but cooler. 34 to 46 degrees. winds may be 10 to 20 mes an hour. that's probably a little on the high side, though, as we move througthe day tomorrow. the winds will be much lighter than they were today. they'll be about 10 to 15. look for 54 to degrees and clouds will be moving in throughout the day as the storm moves on in. 54 degrees on friday. ahead of another storm system. saturd looks like it will be around 60 degrees. that next cold front will drop temperatures down by sunday. high sunday 55. i thinthe weekend looking pretty good, but saturday is the y to get out and about, and early next week temperatures will warm back up into the mid to maybe upper 60s by tuesday. >> notbad. thank you, doug. still ahead tonight, a joyride on a motorized grocery cart leads police to a stakeout
