power lines and trees. >> we start with sue palka and changes we can expect into the area overnight, hey, sue. >> hey jim, shawn, we warned you last night march would come in like a lion. it d not in the temperature department. we had 80 degrees today. with the windy storms that came through with no lightning and no hail and tremendous scary damage. and i have to let you no a wind advisory will remain in effect overnight until 10:00 in the morning. so we will continue to see strong gusts overnight and i'm worried about limbs that may have been loosened by today's severe winds may be falling overnight and watch yourself tomorrow morning when you step on out. all of these dots incredible. they all represent a storm report that we got today of either severe winds or trees down around our area and there's just too many to count. i cherry picked three of the most dramatic ones in terms of winds gusts and quantico, virginia 1:30 storms were

78 miles an hour. category one hurricane force. germantown lots of damage with wind gusts of 66 miles an hour and reagan national 54 mile an hour gusts and as we check right now they're not at those level but are significant and stay strong overnight. gusts between 15 and 25 miles an hour. but that whipped advisory is in place overnight. the frontal boundary has not gotten to us yet. it's right here. and one more line of showers coming with it behind it when we get another surge of wind and that's when we could see a gust maybe to 40 or 50 miles an hour which is why the wind advisory is in place. we'll put the showers in motion. maybe a very quick rum wbl those and more likely just a quick, moderate downpour that lasts on a few second. not about the rain tonight it's about strong front that comes through and brings in much colder heir and keeps us blustery through the day tomorrow ass we head for the 40s tonight. quite a drop from 80 earlier today. but it's all about that contrast

severe winds and we have so much damage out there that we've got sarah simmons in gaithersburg monitoring how the cleanup is going tonight. hi, sarah. >> reporter: hi, sue, that's right. a lot of trees, power lines down around the area. and we're on this occludeded road in gaithersburg where residents had issues as well and but they had never seen anything like this before. take a look. powder lines that came down right here in the roadway. this is a pavement here. actually melted from a fire a 2 feet deep hole this say twig we put down in there. and just to show you how deep it s you can see right here where the power line was just burned an area right through there where it was laying down. and at this hour mind you remember how long ago got storm was rolling in around 2:00 ow so this is still hot i can feel the heat from this it melted and turned in essentially the asphalt to what seems to be something like glass. so just a messndnd amaze

see what happened. take a look at video from earlier from bonnie barker she lives down the road and was showing us what she saw. when she looked out the window there was a blue spruce tree that had come down and huge fireball from the power lines that were here. she called 911 and the firefighters got out here fairly quick requestly and were able to put the fire out. we were talking to bonnie and she was telling us how she had just gotten home 20 minutes before that storm rolled through. >> we were in our living room and something that we never hear we heard twigs and sticks broken off the trees and slamming against the windows and which was interesting sound that doesn't usually happen and maybe heard a little crack not that much. and because we were on the other side of the house and my daughter came to me and says you might want to look out the window mom and we looked out and our road was completely blocked by this huge blue spruce tree and beyond that was downed wire that was live and arching. >>

that you see there. thankfully no major injuries to report out of this storm that came through. but it's interesting you know just to see the power of what can happen here. and speaking of pour. outages we still have, take a look. this is latest numbers we have right now at last check pepco has 107 customers without power and dominion virginia in the northern virginia area still has 2300 customers without power. so still a lot of work to do for sure. that's the late nest gaithersburg, sarah simmons, "fox5 local news". >> new at 10:00 tonight a story you see first on "fox5". a maryland woman is is under arrest charged in connection with a virginia man's murder. police charged monique williams as accessory after the fact in the murder of michael gray. they have not released details of what she's accused of doing but she's held without bond and in the meantime, police are looking for this man. this suspected gunman jason

records to cover up their tracks. and the 7 baltimore city cops belong to the gun trace task force a quad tracking and removing illegal guns from the streets. they alleged an instance where four of the 7 officers areged a man during a traffic stop. confiscated drugs and nearly 20,000. but the officers only turned over 15,000 as evidence. and vettors althose same officers then went to the man's home and stole 200,000 and,000 watch from a safe and we spoke to former police detective and he said these specialized units can at times fly under radar. >> they felt that gave them the privilege to take advantage from a number of citizens on the street. the problem is that the citizens they were taking these weapons and drugs from they never report today for a long period of time. someone tipped off the dea in te

moment. tulip magnolia maybe. >> i'm exciteded about that and people pred that now that we're getting within a couple weeks of blooming are these cherry blossom harmed by cold nights. not really until the peak bloom and bigger problem for the cherry blossoms is strong winds like we had today. so for the faultily they're not out far enough to be damaged by today's strong winds which were quite unbelievable and took done a lot of trees as you well know. this is good reminder if you have a lot of trees around your house it makes good sense to have arborist to look at them and look at the roots to make sure the tree is not rotting or ready to go on the first gust of wind. i have a lot of trees in my backyard and i have somebody come out and take a look at them i don't want to hear that crack and up fortunately it happened for so many people today. wind advisory stays in effect until 10 in the morning. occasional gust over 40, 45. maybe touching 50 briefly

can't be ruled out overnight. generally they'll be closer to 0 miles an hour though and we're not quite done with the showers just yet. we may actually see a couple more showers moving across maryland tonight and we're seeing through frederick county now and we'll be colder tomorrow and snow showers likely on friday. i'm not sure everybody sees them and model is kind of bouncing arounds with what exactly will happen. keep it in mind we may not be done with flurries even though meterological spring began today on march 1. here's the extent ever the wind advisory. watch ridge tops and right now gusts are not tear ill. over 20, 25 miles an hour in some case places and really closer to 2 or:00 in the morning after the front moves on through and this is the the actual front producing a few showers here and there up along interstate 70 and maybe north of 270 here. these are moving quickly west to east. not everybody will see them an you can see it's a rather skinny line as well. but we want to you know it is going

you'll notice it tomorrow after toughing 80 today it looks like temperatures will number the 40s for kids tomorrow at the bus stop and rather blustery out there. by the way much sunnier day. we saw very little sunshine today and still got up to 80 in the district. tomorrow with plenty of sun looks great. blustery all day just about. 50 to 55 after school and we'll describe after school as being breezy. average high now climbs to 51 and tomorrow not bad at 54. suburbs will stay in upper 40s and definitely feel cooler. friday only 45 with some morning snow showers possible and saturday we dip down to coldest point at 42 and start to bounce back up on sunday with temperature of 45. chilly winds will continue as our storm system deepzens off the north coast and that's why tomorrow will be 20 to 25 cooler than today. so that's a pretty dramatic swing. here's "fox5" accuweather day forecast and again chilly weekend and sunday starts recovery process and 55 degrees

and we jump up by 10 degrees on monday getting up to 65 and you can see why those cherry blossoms may be doing their thing or guess getting closer to it. temperatures 68 tuesday with showers possible and wednesday about 65. so staying above normal for most of these days. little cooler setback for tomorrow. jim. >> thank you, sue. >> jay gruden weighing in on future of kirk cuz ninz burgandy and gold. >> and known as the no fun leave could leave unfavorable position for celebrations. >> that's next in sports
