second half of the weekend. overcast skies, light showers backing in from northeast to southwest. that's our onshore flow. a lot of this isn't making it to the ground and it's again that drizzle mist thing and just really can't come up with a good term for it except thing ordeal. it doesn't look like there's anything out there. count on that fine mist tonight. 64 in annapolis, 63 frederick, 60 in martinsburg. our temperatures have been steadily falling from earlier this morning when we were in the upper 60's and as a result, compared to yesterday when we had temperatures in the 70's, we are a good 10 degrees cooler and we're going to continue these temperatures just to be in the 60's again for probably the next 24 hours or so. so, again, if you're heading out to nats park tonight we're looking at temperatures right where they are for first pitch around 8 o'clock, drizzle and light rain, breezy and cool. so, it is also pretty chilly. maybe not as cold as it was in chicago last night, that looked really cold and
