5:45 pm
you have temperatures gettingpeg colder, winds are picking up,p, so definitely wind chill valuel out there feels like 32, ooh,2 in gaithersburg, feels like 38i8 for baltimore.r baltim temperatures this evening arees going to remain thi feeling lik they're in the 20's and the 30's 'cause i suspect for theush next several hours the windsal t are going tohe remain gusty, at least 10 to 20 with an wi occasional gust over 20 miles even -- 20 miles per hour evenen after 10 o'clock.0 o' it will settle down a littlen bit overnight tonight and thenih with generally fair skies i ski think temperatures will be ally how towed get pretty cold d overnight. 29 in the city.. just enough wind to keep the temperatures from not dropping p down into the lower 20's the the way it's looking right now. n frederick down to about 27.ut 2. these are the coldest numbersol we've seen in awhidle.l fredericksburg is 31 and nd tomorrow finally it startsats feeling like february.ebruary. actually it feels a littleite colder than february becausebruu the average temperature forre f today went up to 45.45. so, tomorrow we're going to be some six, 7 degrees in some s cases below normal.ormal. high to the northwest, low tohwl the south of us so a little lite
5:46 pm
tomorrow so it's not -- i's not idon't think it is going to bege quite as windy as it is now. i think it will be breezy, 10ee0 to 15 tomorrow but we'll have ve some gusts 15 to 25 miles per25r hour as again we're into a're io little bit of a squeeze playueey and the colder air continueso to come on in. this is in. a real weak front.n. a couple of snowflakes up toes u the north. nothing for us obviously .bviously. the front is weakening now and d basically i think we couldhink d even take the front away andy a call it kind of a trough of low pressure but i went ada tr and drew the blue line in her ie because it does remain as remaia little colder behind thisehind s coming in and it's going the the change the air mass for for tomorrow so technically it's it' still a front.ont. tonight it's pretty good.retty o some of these clouds aredsa moving out but by tomorrow tomow morning the clouds fill in again. again. not a lot of sunshineune tomorrow. i think it would qualify as being mostly cloudy tomorrowom and rather cold with temperatures only in the 30's t and the 40's but by the timethee we get to saturday, hightday, hh pressure builds in and it isuild going to be really nice on b saturday.e lots of sunshine on sareturda y.a it's still going to be cold.o b. we're talking 30's and 40's on0n
