eaglet works to get out. experts say it is tough work and gave us an idea of what the eaglet will look like. >> it's a tough exercise. so, finally, when it does happen, they will be exhausted. they look kind of like little dinosaurs, almost, and they're very wet and weak and tired, but they're cared for by the adults. this pair should be very good parents. >> the second eaglet should hatch in the next few days. we're told the babies should make their first flight some time around june, and the parents could likely return to use the same nest -- get this -- for the next 15 to 25 years. >> oh, my goodness! >> that's incredible. >> that's a tough egg shell, though. >> it is. and mostly, she's just sitting on the eggs, so -- >> exactly, move out of the way! >> we're anxious to see some action. >> and the mother and father, this is the time they get into their first fight because the father's saying let him go, let him

saying. >> i wouldn't be coming out tonight. it's a bit nippy out there. >> well, you don't want to come out on sunday with a chance of showers. it could be rain and snow showers across the area. we were talking about this last night, if the first one comes out tomorrow, sunshine, beautiful weather. the other one could be born two days later with snowfall. that's the kind of temperatures that we see here in the month of march. that's what we've got, the battle of the seasons here in march, between winter and spring. right now still springlike, very springlike, 57 degrees, winds out of the northwest at 6 miles per hour. a very nice night all across the region. temperatures will fall but not all that much tonight. so, again tomorrow morning a pretty nice start. down to 49 martinsburg, fredericksburg at 48 degrees. waldorf, la plata coming in right now around 49. so, a very nice night tonight, not much in the way of rain. we saw a few showers this afternoon. there are still a few to the west but these will die as they move to the east. if they don't, don't be surprised to see just a little sprinkle. that's really all we've seen today. cold air just up to the

south. severe weather down there toward the south. for us, we're going to be watching our next storm system. it's coming saturday into sunday. winter returns, for shurks this weekend, and it may start -- the rain may start as early as saturday afternoon now. some of the latest computer models giving us a little bit more rain on saturday, but it will eventually change to snow in some parts of the area. this is going to be the classic rain-snow line. where are you? where's that rain-snow line? what are you going to see? well, as the area of low pressure moves up, it will develop, and there will be some big snows for new england. for us, i'm not too worried about this system. it's tracking -- we will track a coastal system. snow is looking likely for most parts of the area, but not expecting a big impact. one, it's a sunday. two, i think the roads will be okay. so, again, i'm not too worried about this storm. here we are on saturday, 11:00 a.m. around noon, no problems right on through 1:00, 2:00, but then by 6:00, 7:00, the latest computer model's giving us some rain by this time. watch what happens as

around the d.c. metro area and points south, and here comes the snow back to the west. and with this computer model it now brings that rain-snow line right down towards washington. all rain down towards southern maryland, all rain in quantico. frederick, martinsburg, gaithersburg, maybe all snow saturday night into sunday morning, and right through noon, here is the rain-snow line, so it will shift. that means everybody north of the line won't see much. best chance for accumulating snow will be to our north and west. chuck bell will have the latest for you early tomorrow morning, so tune in for that, then i'll be back with our latest snowfall map, put one out tomorrow afternoon. 50 on your saturday. there's that sunshine -- or rather, sunday. only a 70% chance -- or rather, a big 70% chance of rain or snow. highs in the upper 30s to around 40. 43 on monday. and then the eaglets get some great weather next wednesday and thursday. 68 wednesday, 74 next thursday. >> and we've got to keep
