in this case we may want to hold back a little bit. show you what we're dealing with right now. very nice conditions out at the airport, but i want to show you something. we see this every once in a while. 52 degrees right now at the airport. the airport is what we call the urban heat aisle. a lot of concrete around the area does not radiate as efficiently, meaning the warm air doesn't move back into the atmosphere as efficiently as the cooler suburbs. 34 manassas, 35 much colder where we have clear skies, vegetation out there and we have those calm winds. that's why temperatures are falling so quickly. 35 in martinsburg. 58 by noon, 64 degrees by 4:00. you can see a great day on our wednesday. no rain. we're not going to see any of that any time soon. the rain we saw yesterday is now way up towards new england, and

now. it brought parts of new england two to three inches of rain around new york city. we did not see much of it. behind it we are seeing those clear skies. i think most of you tomorrow will be in the upper 30s to start off your day. you'll need the jacket when you step out the front door. in the city, as i mentioned, 45. 33 in manassas, 38 in leesburg, so a cool start, but this time of year that's exactly what we expect. what we don't expect is how warm we'll coue 64 degrees, another nice one as we move through the day tomorrow. noon 56. yeah, you can get lunch outdoors and walk around with it. in the sun with light wind, that's not bad at all. 64 by 4:00, and 56 by 7:00 tomorrow night. how about the warmth over the next few days? 65 on thursday, 69 on friday. we could be in 70 in many areas. on saturday going for a high of 67. saturday i've got p.m. showers. but if you have activities on
11:20 pm
i don't think we'll see showers until after sunset, so a very warm day becoming a little breezy late in the day. but a nice saturday afternoon. it is sunday when things change. look at the temperature. 67 to 48. that's because of a strong cold front. the warm air is in place, here comes the cold front, pushes it in place. if we get much colder, winds gusting to 30 miles an hour. wind will stay in the 3 most of you. some of us could see some flakes. that's about it. don't expect any accumulation. this is not a big storm, but it is big in the sense that it will jump our temperatures back 30 to 40 degrees. >> will we need a magnifying glass to see them? >> it will be one of those that 45 minutes, it runs on through. >> no blinking.
