seven day. first, it is such a nice evening out there. the weekend looking great. as i said, we have rain chances on monday and then again towards the end of next week. so, we're dry and i know i had a few rain showers earlier this morning and now we're clearing out and we're warming up next week and we warmed up today. temperatures are right around 70 degrees and temperatures now in the 70s in fredericksburg and charlottesville and everybody else in the mid up toer 60s and shenandoah valley and temperatures in the low 60s. with the clouds clearing, those temperatures are going to fall pretty quickly and also feels a little cool out there because we have this northwesterly wind and, boy, gusting up there. 18 miles an hour in gaithersburg and 31 miles an hour in winchester. we'd had these winds through much of the day here in d.c. you'll have some of the petals missing if you're headed down to the cherry blossoms by tomorrow morning. good news is, lighter wind tomorrow. but beautiful picture taking. almost looks like it's

any real snow. clearing the clouds out rather quickly and mostly clear overnight and that's when temperatures plummet because clouds act as an insulator for us. without them, that temperature falls with the clear skies and lighter wind. so, 30s to mid-40s inside the beltway. it is going to be a chilly start tomorrow morning. so, when you wake up tomorrow morning, much cooler conditions. again, temperatures anywhere from the upper 30s to the mid-40s but eventually we'll warm up taright around 60 degrees tomorrow. looking good for tomorrow. mostly sunny and much lighter wind out there. 60 degrees is our normal temperature for this time of year. not doing too bad. and then a little warmer for easter sunday. we'll start that morning cold. so, again, if you're heading to sunrise services, bundle up. temperatures will top out in the mid-60s by the afternoon and increasing clouds but we'll be dry. so, what to wear. look at that little boy. he looks so cute in his jacket. might want to grab that jacket and i don't believe you'll need

the sunglasses on sunday morning unless you're out early. next big change will come sunday late night into monday when you head back to work. looks like we'll have some rain showers and not only rain showers, but definitely a little on the breezy side. headed out to the easter egg roll. looking like temperatures will be in the lower 60s, but, again, showers throughout the day. bring those rain jackets and if you're headed out to spring break, also looks like we'll have some rain in ocean city both on monday and again on friday. and same deal here. we'll have some rain here on monday and then again on friday. but we're warming up a little bit throughout the weekend. temperatures dip a little bit for tuesday, but we're back to the low 70s by friday. of course, we'll have some rain at that time. guys? >> thanks, lauryn. now to a story first reported here on news 4. one of our local museums is in need of repairs and, boy, the price tag is nuthing to sneeze at. last week the smithsonian announced the need for
