really wreake havoc, as far as 1 to 2 inches of rain coming on through. so here it is as future weather. 8:00 tonight no problem. watch what happens here around 11:00 tonight. starting to see the rain down alwards southern may r but most of us still dry. if you want to take the dog out e lasttime, maybe still watching, you can do that maybe during the first commerciale break and cack in for weather. and then by early tomorrow as you're watching chuck bell and melissa mul.a. here at 5:00 a.m., we've got rain area wide. you know we're goi to have problems on area roadways. look at 11:00, starting to see heavy rain come through. from baltimore down throughed icksburg. heaviest rain looks to come right around 2:00, and even some oranges here. and this is why we think we could see 1 to 2 inches of rain by 5:00, 6:00, it starts to pull out and i think by tomorrow

night it'll look better. this is also going to be a big dealn friday. >> absolutely, doug, because we talk about the winds out there on friday. theeather are flooding, hydroplaning and wind dabbling. the national weather service has not issued any sort of flood alert just yet and i don't thin because as doug was saying we've been pretty here for the last month or so. but nuns you could see some floodi occur especially if waters have trouble getting down storm drains. we then get into hydroplaning. and i think the biggest concern for that isoing to be midday and tomorrow afternoon when we're seeing the heaviest and steadiest rainfall. there's a chance your morning and evening commute is we w so yt to budget some extra time for that. as we look to friday it's all about the winds and potential wind damage out there. trees d see some downed and power outages.

so tomorrow it's the rain gear. nhe b's t a, the rai jacket. friday and saturday defoitely want grab the wind breakers, saturday, finally looking like a nice day out there. your windorast on friday is windy. again, gusts up to 40 les an hour means we could see some downed trees especiallyrom all the rain we have tomorrow and on top of it strong winds. wind chill not just saturday but friday as well are going to be in the 30s and0s. so, doug, tomorrow the first full day of spring as we look td friday saturday, not feeling very much like spring at all. >> no, we have one real spring like day. that's going to be temperature of 63. again, windy friday, breezy saturday, pretty nic on sunday. and then monday watching a system that could produce a couple of showers. look at this on tuesday, temperatures in the 40s and a chance of rain or that's som we'll be tracking for you and very chilly temperatures as we make our way
