i i don't see these numbers going down much overnight. winds out of the south at 7 miles an hour. looking at partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. we will see a chance of fog to develop. temperatures on the warm side. where it is getting cooler, notice the cooler weather. 47 baltimore. this is the area that has a better chance of fog overnight. 59 culpeper. 62 fredericksburg and 57 in winchester. very warm at this time of the night. radar, nothing in our region. we will stay on the calm side between now and say 6:00, 7:00 tomorrow night. that's when we will see the changes moving in. it is because of this massive frontal system. from the great lakes to the gulf of mexico, this is a large storm, very warm air ahead of it. temperatures 70s and 80s. to the west, it's the snow. temperatures in the 20s and 30s. that's the system you normally see in march but it is moving our way in january. that's why temperatures should

soar to the 70 degree mark once again, maybe the low 70s for some of us and the possibility is there for some severe weather with potential for strong winds. i think this will come through right around 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 tomorrow night through the d.c. metro area. between 8:00 and 11:00, strong winds 50 to 60 miles an hour. over an inch of rain is possible in a little amount of time. may see localized flooding. let's time this out on future weather. 7 a.m. tomorrow. some clouds, not bad at all. tomorrow, dry for the most part around 2:00 but showers are building to the west and they will continue to build and our chance of thunderstorms will increase along the blue ridge to the west. also along 66 and 81. that line will move our way. by 9:00, it will start to move to the d.c. metro area. 95 corridor, coming up around 11:00 tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening. so a windy day. all day tomorrow, looking at

winds gusting to 50 miles an hour to the west. wind advisory. in the d.c. metro area, winds gusting 30 to 40 miles an hour before the storms arrive and when they arrive is when we will see the strongest winds. 45 on thursday with windy conditions. look at friday and saturday. highs in the upper 30s. so we go up and then we

thought about using anything. to entertain stupidity like that tell them to try to get a story off of somebody else. >> always some flair and color provided by the spanish speaking networks at every super bowl media day. i know the ravens are supposed to be our pseudo local team, but the niners have more local players. cam johnson, amad brooks, navarro bowman and vernon davis. >> i didn't think of that until now. that is a lot of guys. it's a blessing, man. it's a blessing and i'm honored to be part of this game with those guys. >> vernon davis is starting to heat up. i believe they have call it peaking at the right time. could be a factor for the niners in the super bowl. see you again tomorrow. >> suspicious
