of the man who's following students near an arlington high school. last week officers say a man followed an 11-year-old girl who was walking near 15th street and north stafford street. two days later two boys noticed a man, possibly the same suspect trailing them near 13th street and north nelson. all the children were able to get away. additional police will patrol around washington lee high school today. savoy students will have another day off today. classrooms will begin for the students tomorrow at ferebee hope elementary and that's all happening because savoy is being ex- terminated for bedbugs and roden rodents. one father told us bite marks on his daughter's arms which doctors told looked like bedbug bites. >> we wanted

winchester to martinsburg to hagerstown, your rain chances are much higher there than the washington area. lowest chances down near culpepper later on today. there's that pocket of moderately heavy rain right along the maryland/pennsylvania border. most of that rain chance looks like it stays north of leesburg, northern montgomery county but i couldn't rule out a quick sprinkle from now until lunchtime. south of those roads looks like it will be mostly dry and we'll get enough sunshine i think later on today to get temperatures way above average and possibly into the record books. 48 now in gaithersburg. 52 at dulles. keep in mind our average high now is only 45, so way up above average later today. just enough sunshine. i think the record which is only 64 is as good as dead in the water here this morning. i'm forecasting 69 f a

washington today. 70 in culpepper. a little cooler right along the chesapeake bay. then for tomorrow predawn sprinkles or showers. most of the daylight hours tomorrow will be dry with increasing cloud cover, risk of showers goes up much more as we get into late wednesday night and thursday morning. that is a chance of snow right here in the d.c. metro. so this is going to be a quick return back to some very cold weather on thursday. rain/snow could get a couple of inches along the i-81 corridor. i don't know that we can accumulate any snow in and around town. and wondering about the weekend, how about back up to 65 on your sunday? >> i like that. we just have to get there. all right. taking a look here at a couple of things happening and one that has now gotten out of the way for us. that ramp to southbound kenil worth avenue, no problems there. beltway is fine. southbound connecticut
